- 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.

Headcrack meta bois!
I was taking a bath and having a wallow,
When i got a notification on Valeera the Hollow,
I saw Death's Shadow then Shadow Reflection,
Reading the effect gave me an erection.
hahaha I love it dude
This is OP .
This car will be pretty much auto-include. That's my opinion, you don't have to take my word for it. I am just commenting for the sweet "I told you so" later.
I like the idea of Hero stealth. It's basically complete immunity for a turn (with the exception of AoE spells or effect that also hit heroes)
My issue with this card is that
a) it's incredibly slow (sure, you basically get a free turn in return and basically end up at 10 mana with every potential combo enabled, but still)
b) I don't see it fit anywhere into current Rogue decks and I can't really think of any amazing combo that you can pull of with this. I mean, sure you can do double Trailblazer Elise for some value shenanigans, but even then, what is your goal? The current rogue decks are usually Miracle or Jade. This seems too slow for miracle and would probably only come into play in very specific situations (needing to survive a turn to find lethal ressources, expanding burst damage while through Hero POwer, Ducking for cover after popping Mage's ice Block). In Jade this could technically work but what's the point. Jade Rogue usually wants to build big Jades way beforee turn 9 otherwise they've usually lost already anyways.
Maybe I'm being too pessimistic about this but it just seems like there are better ways to win games as Rogue other than using this card as an expensive setup
it look good on paper but the passive hero power mean rogue will lose it signature dagger...
have to see how much impact it will have when release first
between you and I the dagger is not a powerfull one at turn 10
double value vs a 1/2 knife. Truly a hard decision
This is really, really good. I think 9 mana is a bit much, as 7 or 8 would have been more than enough.
But still. Damm!
I can see this card being REALLY strong. Getting extra copies of burn spells will be amazing. Lilian Voss should be strong with this too.
I approve, auto-craft for me.
wow, such creativity . I love it. if there is a will there's is a way to make work. even if, it is a bit slow!!!! most interesting card i had seen thus far this expansion!!!
Well this is not a dissapointment like rogue legendary.Its effect is interesting like rogue class overall and fits theme.The only thing i don't like is the manacost,in this meta you either won or dead on turn 9 and aggro might still stay in next expansion.Anyway this hero card is not just op or bad,its interesting and its usefullness depends on players creativity,skill and deck building.
Nice hero, let's see if it will work as well.
What about arcane giant? Does this give you a reduced cost arcane giant or a 12 mana 8/8 arcane giant? So many questions...
E:// should have watched the video first lol
Watch the video. This is the example they demonstrated for her hero power card.
dude, you literally have a video of him playing arcane giants with this hero power.
I have no idea how this card is going to work in terms of win conditions, but I love it and I'm excited to try it out. What's particularly exciting about it is that the hero power seems to act as a sort of "minor miracle engine." One of the complaints about Lilian Voss was that she needs a lot of small spells to get value, but that those spells are better in a miracle rogue than they are in a burgle rogue. Maybe Valeera the Hollow gives you just enough miracle power to support a hybrid miracle/burgle rogue.
there's kind of an interesting interaction with Shadowcaster since you can play it and then copy it to start an infinite loop easier, obviously terrible for serious decks but a really fun concept.
