Clarifications
- In the case of a minion being played for a discounted cost, Effigy spawns a minion equal to the original cost of the minion. (Source)
Secret: When a friendly minion dies, summon a random minion with the same Cost.
Burning man, brah.

Sneed + Effigy You get double Kel'Thuzad. Game is over.The dream.
I think this could be better than Mirror Image, since you have much more control over it. It's amazing for late game as well (When your opponent decides to bgh rag, and you get Kel'Thuzad. ;)
Why would you have better control over this than Mirror Image?
I think he meant Mirror Entity
Sneed dies and give you Kel'Thuzad Effigy also gives you Kel'Thuzad, two Sneed's are resurrected.
I really like the art on this card. It reminds me of old school MTG cards a little. The main difference is that I think I like this game way better than MTG.
Mage player here. Just by existing, u dont have to have it, this card improves all the secret cards. it is good. so now opponents cannot assume its either a counterspell or a mirror entity (not that i personally play those 2 only). it also means i MUST play 2 kezan because every deck is going to have a kezan and i need to get my secrets back.. ooohooohhoooo.. great card to add to the meta, even if i dont use it, it still improves my deck just by existing
This card would have been a nice introduction to druid secrets. There are a lot of high cost druid cards (minions) with awful stat lines that you really only play for their battlecry (Keeper of the Grove, Ancient of Lore etc).
Probably best Mage card, revealed until now
The real hype is when arcane wyrm gets killed somehow on turn 3 and you get a wisp #WispHype
Not possible. Mana Wyrm is 1 mana. Wisp is 0 mana. Effigy gives you a minion of the same cost as the one that died.
Sea Giants look better towards this card, at the very worst you'd get a Varian Wrynn (but, if you'd Duplicate him... oh the joy!), at best, you'd get a Deathwing. Moltens are more consistent, as well as Mountain Giant and Clockwork Giant, you receive a 8/8 regardless of what spawns.
With the possible advance of Battlecry decks ( Crowd Favorite ), while I doubt it would be a mage thing of all classes, this card might come into use since Battlecry minions are typically overpriced for their on-board effectiveness. I doubt this will ever be a thing, though.
possible Deathwing synergy?
You can't activate your own Secrets.
well, i ment use effigy as a protection spell, but now when i think about it, counterspell seems better for the job
Why not both for an amazing invincible turn? :P
They try to Hex, woops.
Then they try to BGH, my apologies.
It wont trigger on Deathwing ability but it would protect Deathwing if its destroyed :P
Time for my golden Kezan Mystic to get to work
But seriously, if the "Secret can be activated in your turn" minion currently only a fan creation become a real thing, this is gonna be really OP.
Rather unlikely that that will ever happen as secrets were changed to only activate on your opponents turn specifically so cards like this and duplicate could be made.
