Everyone thought Convert was going to be OP when it came out (including me), and it turned out paying 2 extra mana to play a minion wasn't worth it. Now, this lets you target friendly minions, and there's Princess Talanji, but this again looks to be too slow for it to see real play, unless there is an OTK I am not thinking of.
The problem with cards like these is that you dream of these insane scenarios where it just wins you the game, but then in reality you play odd rogue or spell hunter where the card just rots in your hand because there's no good targets and you don't have the 2 spare mana to be greedy.
Likely one of those cards that come up big in discover mechanics, or off of Lyra the Sunshard, but unless there is a clear OTK setup, putting cards in decks with a "I hope I get something big" just doesn't cut it these days. See: Tess Greymane.
I get where you are coming from, but the card honestly wouldn't be a bad card in wild in the slightest.
People thought much of the same kind of thing behind Entomb as well. Expensive 6 mana removal (that also means you pay 6 more mana for the same minion) AND you have to re draw it as well.
This is basically a cheap Zola the Gorgon. I think it'll absolutely see play in a lot of control and slower priest decks. An extra Amara, an extra Duskbreaker, an extra Bwonsomdi, an extra Matriarch, etc. are all a really valuable tool to have especially in long control matches.
It't not just your minions. You can target enemy minions too.
How about a Tess Greymane!
yeahhh nobody thought convert was going to be OP..
You'd still have to play other cards from another class...
Except that you can build a deck now around it since it targets your own minions as well. If you had Convert in your deck and faced aggro, it was absolutely useless.
we starting doing reprints now, huh?
how creative
Flat out moronic comment.
Convert targets enemy minions. This can target your minions.
So copy Prophet Velen twice play Princess Talanji then mind blast??
yo I think you just made a deck
I love this whole “thought-stealing-thieve” type of Priest decks! Always did but it didnt has any win conditions.
Princess Talanji IS a win condition( a very intresting and FUN one tbh), BUT is more like an Alana-type of wc rather than,say, N’zoth type of wc. In other words you will get to trigger her effect once (and not sure if successful cause depends on rng) in a match or so. If you somehow copy her or bounce it back to your hand, well, you wont be able to trigger her ability effectively since you have to start building your whole hand with new cards from scratch!!! Compared to N’zoth who requires you to play the deathrattle minions once and then u r good to go for a 2nd and a 3d time N’zoth etc
so its fun, its different, its a -finally-win-condition-included- deck but needs its own “spike” to make it to the top.
How to pronounce 'Seance':
Say 'say', followed by 'once', but change the 'o' in 'once' to the 'o' in 'on.' SAY-ons.
Disclaimer for that one obligatory 'oh you're so effing smart nerd kill yourself' commenter: If I had to look it up, chances are someone else had to as well.
Hope y.all are ready for infinite Test Subject's.
dear god
Double Seance on a resurrected Prophet Velen means 20 damage Mind Blasts
Edit: misspelled the name of the new card
I think Your math is off its more damage then that.
0 Prophet Velen = 5 damage Mind Blast
1 Resurrected Prophet Velen = 10 damage Mind Blast
1 Resurrected Prophet Velen + 1 Seance Prophet Velen = 20 damage Mind Blast
1 Resurrected Prophet Velen + 2 Seance Prophet Velen = 40 damage Mind Blast
Sure, but as a Resurrect Priest player I don't expect a full life Velen to survive unscathed one turn, as long as I'm not playing with a lot of advantage.
I just forgot to mention this particular but yeah, if you achieve to make him survive your calculations are flawless sir
Very good if your strategy involves doubling (or tripling) up on a specific minion. Zola the Gorgon has seen far more play than I anticipated when it was revealed a year ago and it finds it's way into many decks.
Also, quite good for Princess Talanji synergy. This, combined with all the "Thoughtsteal" type effects and even Holy Water, we could see a whole new type of Priest emerge.
Flexible cards like this will almost certainly see some play in their lifetime.
i need to know how it interacts with Immortal Prelate
do i get a buffed or a naked?
