He meant that if a mage has this secret on board and the enemy paladin plays Hydrologist, it's going to start a clown fiesta
Ah my bad, I misunderstood. That would be a pretty good result for the mage.
"Eureka"
Amazing! It is like Duplicate and Mirror Entity combined. Of course it is terrible tempo, but provide some good value in some decks.
Just the existence of this card makes playing around mirror entity a bigger headache. Now it's not always the best play to drop a minion whose value is concentrated in its battecry (e.g. Grimestreet Informant) to try triggering it. Ugh.
I am tired of all this shit. Not only Primordial Glyph and Cabalist's Tome. But now there are more secrets. It is already a random casino when play against mage. Often you just can't think of all the possibilities, so you just ignore whatever and play without any skill, just totally not thinking about your turn.
"Often you just can't think of all the possibilities, so you just ignore whatever and play without any skill, just totally not thinking about your turn."
Mage has a set number of secrets, all of which activate on playing a minion/spell, attacking their hero, or killing their minion. If that's too difficult for you to remember and take into account when you play, and you just play without thinking instead, that's on you. Yes random spell generation is annoying, but the secrets aren't the problem because they can be played around so long as you spend more than 2 seconds thinking before you make your turn.
Actually, there's no secrets that activate when you kill their minion on Standard, so it's even simpler than that. Duplicate and Effigy are in Wild.
I never said they weren't wild only...
That's not rng.
Some decks (tempo) will play mirror. Some decks (control) will play clone. If you can't work it out and play around it, that's not a dice roll, that's you being a bad player.
Mirror Entity sets minion on the board, so you need to play low cost low heath minion. This secret gets it into their hand and if it low cost minion opponent can play them in one turn. This shit and Mirror Entity messed up when in one deck. It is almost impossible for you to do right often. If you face Mage as Priest and you have Radiant Element in hand and mage played secret - you are fucked. Because if it is Mirror Entity - you can steal it or kill it, but this secret means cheap spells for them and you are fucked. If you have big minion and decide that they have this secret and it is Mirror Entity - you are fucked other way. And there are plenty of such situations in HS, not to mention there is also polymorph secret.
When the whole community will start whining about this we will talk again, but for now I said what I wanted to say.
Artwork doesn’t make any sense...
It is a clone of the girl attacking you. Would make sense if it were 2
The character closest to us, is the others "Frost Clone", clothes matches.
oh god i can't un-see this now!
A good player will know when to put this down
IE Knowing when the opponent is going to drop a Tirion Fordring
Imagine using this when a priest is about to play his quest reward....
While not giving you good tempo like Mirror Entity it could be used aggressively or in a spell heavy deck.
Decent in arena
I honestly Like it.
In wild ladder this would be a brutal way to draft a few bonus sylvanas.
Sylvanases? Sylvani? Eh.
a few bonus Sylvanas WindrunnerS - there u go
A good player will also know when you've played this and play around it and give u some junk that's only good in their deck and not yours. People have been playing around mirror and potion of polymorph for ages now.
