The effect is strong, but why wouldn't you play the 1-mana copies yourself? How else can you use it? Zola? (Or maybe a card which has not been revealed yet?)
Or am I missing something?
You can discover or generate tons of minions that aren't in your deck, if you can only think of Zola it's kinda sad, but it's a good one at least
You don't have to be offensive.
In my head a strategy which is relying on random generated minions is bad. At least not meta-defining or very good.
I think I'm one of the few that don't really see the benefit of this in relation to the other cards for Priest that have been revelead. With Bwonsamdi, the Dead you'll draw a lot of minions but as they only cost 1 mana, I rather play them when the time is right instead of having them all summoned by Princess Talanji at once.

These cards have to return to your hand first as a copy. How can you make it? Just killing them while the spirit is down and then draw? Doesn't sound a winning gameplan and looks hard to achive it.
I like the card but one issue might be is that you generally discover cards that you want to play quite quickly - otherwise the cost of the discover is a large tempo loss. Might be tricky to do all this discovering while not getting beaten down too quickly.

Oh, I agree with you. Bwonsamdi, the Dead with the Spirit of the Dead does everything that you need to do. There is no point of summoning your reduced cards all at once, just to be board wiped by the enemy on their turn. Princess Talanji would work better for Steal Priest but even Steal Priest doesn't make that much minions in order to justify having Talani in your deck.
Yeah, Princess Talanji is not a great card, especially something that the Priest needs.

In Wild this is nuts with the dragon 5/6 because you discover the biggest minion from opponent deck, in Standard you have many cards who give you copies from opponent deck and this card work more or less like Tess, plus you can use minions generation like the dragon 6/5 deathrattle and the 0/3 egg.
But the card is expensive and the effect is too much random, probably better use Lich King instead.
With the current card pool and the new revealed cards we can easy say this card is pretty bad.

Priest is the new Rogue, i'm gonna meme this card all over the place.
1-cost, not 1/1
Elise's pack!
fully stated just cost 1.
seems like more of a meme than a playable card but if I open it i'll definitely make a steal priest
That's Incredible!

The minions created by Spirit of the Dead are 1-cost, not 1/1 tokens. This is Zerek's Cloning Gallery #2

Maybe you want to do this in order to avoid battlecry triggers (Charged Devilsaur, Deathwing,...)
How does this card work with Chameleos?
Thanks guys. I totally missread the card when it was revealed.

I guess blizzard want to push mind vision and thoughtsteal
Uuuuhh, combo'ing it with Archbishop seems pretty cool!
