Discuss this Card Discuss this Card Discuss this Card
- You can never have more than one Shadow Reflection in your hand.
- Shadow Reflection leaves your hand at the end of your turn, so it only works on 5 mana cards or less. (Source)
- Effects that invoke Mana Cost reduction will not be copied by Shadow Reflection. (Like Emperor Thaurissan ticks, Preparation, Shadowstep.)
- Remember how Stealth works! If you wish to attack, do attack BEFORE using this Hero card.

Quest Back ? May be
9 mana is too late for quest (maybe)
The card basically skips a turn. No impact on the board which may lead a massive enemy board next turn. Since rogue doesn't have any board clears, I don't think this card will work but who knows? I hope this card will be strong enough to provide rogue another viable playstyle than miracle. She really deserves some diversity.
You can play Vanish next turn.
Still, this is a huge tempo loss for a class that is all about tempo. I hope I am wrong and we will see this card played. It is very unique and creative.
Seems pretty good if it's like a Preparation or a Counterfeit Coin and you use it with Gadgetzan Auctioneer
Only works with 5 mana cards or less? But what about Counterfeit Coin?
Let's say I'm holding Shadow Reflection, Aya Blackpaw and Counterfeit Coin...
On turn 10 or later, can I not play Aya Blackpaw first, then Counterfeit Coin, then a second Aya Blackpaw generated by Shadow Reflection?
You'd need two coins, then. 10 -the 6 cost of Aya =4. You need +2 to get there.
It'd copy the coin then
No because the moment you play the coin, it transforms into the coin. That's why he said it's impossible to use the HP with the cards that cost 6 or more
Don't think so, because Shadow Reflection says "each time you play a card".
So in your case it'll copy Aya Blackpaw as you play her, but once you play the Counterfeit Coin it'll transform into that instead.
You need 2 Counterfeit Coin for this.
10-6 = 4 , 4+1 = 5 5+1= 6 but guess what? your Shadow Reflection is now Counterfeit Coin. So I guess it's imposible to play 2 Aya Blackpaw's on 1 turn.
But you can play 2 Thistle Tea or any 8 or less costed spell with Preparation I guess If you use Preparation first.
Counterfeit Coin -> Counterfeit Coin -> Aya Blackpaw -> Aya Blackpaw that should work
Thank you! I was getting nervous when nobody proposed playing the coins first while reading! LOL
Unless... coins wont stack when you have 10 mana... Not sure, never tried it before... maybe nobody suggested that because that's what happens?
"each time" doesn't mean like "whenever" ? I understood like this when I read it.
Remember that, Hearthstone includes "Adapt, then adapt" and "adapt twice" keywords both. So they decided to word it like this I guess.
But is that how it works? Does it only change once and then it's 'not a shadow reflection' anymore, or does it keep changing with each new card you play? This is a significant question.
So cool *.* . Interesting both gameplay and art wise!
Also so many combos to test and think of ( plus we didnt even see the whole new set yet,so more to come probably). Miracle Rogue can use this as a situational but Jade Rogue can use this for a sort of late game dominance since with this can actually gain even more decent J. golems growth.
Now cant wait for Anduin DK
Holy Shmoses, i'm PogChamping right now! What a great card this is..
