Good, Secret Mage needs a buff. -.-
I think you're thinking of Mirror Entity.
I agree, Mirror image might be a new type
Think about this, in Quest Mage it gives you a free spell that you can quickly cast, is sort of anti-aggro, and can serve as bait to protect your Sorcerer's Apprentice and Archmage Antonidas from being rat'd. But I don't see a purpose for it anywhere else, maybe in Wild to give cheap fuel to Flamewaker.
How does a spell card protect your minions against rat? I don't get it
If you're playing against Quest Warrior or another control deck you'd suspect of having Dirty Rat, you would just leave Ghastly Conjurer in your hand and hope that Dirty Rat draws it out instead of your combo piece. I remember Disguised Toast leaving cards like Eater of Secrets or Novice Engineer in his hand to protect his combo pieces. It's not guaranteed but better than instantly losing.
This applies to almost all minions (ie. they protect combo pieces from rat), right? I mean, how is this card better at this particular role than any others?
Sorry I just don't get it, but I guess it's not that important
Thing is quest mage doesn't run a lot of minions, and the ones it does are cheap and get played early on.
Antonidas says "HahA".
I'm not sure how strong this is (might even be weak, IDK), but I LOVE the design of this card. It's got such great synergies, while also being useful by itself should the need arise.
I'm getting more hyped for this expac now.
Quest support card i think (besides arena card). Better than a freeze support card.
WHY?
After Taunt Quest Warrior, we now have Taunt Quest Mage.
Mirror Image the spell or Mirror Image the minion? I assume it's the spell, so I guess it could be alright in Quest Mage to help stall against aggro.
Not bad, might see some play in that archetype.
It says on the card "Mirror Image Spell." Hmm...if MI is going to see a lot of play, I might as well craft the golden version!
Im just waiting for the first "holy shit!" card in the set
Putricide is pretty "holy shit" for me. Still got that Mysterious Challenger PTSD
Wait a minute, Mirror Image is bolded. Spells were never bolded on cards before. Does that mean that it would show you what a Mirror Image is if you were to hover over the card? (similar to how a tooltip for a keyword like Adapt would appear if you hovered over a card with Adapt).
Edit: Bleh, nevermind.
Elise the Trailblazer
Elise doesn't really count, since what's bolded is the Un'Goro keyword.
The text was just confirmed on reddit by a blue as unbolded.
