Especially with the two 1/1 whelps it summons...
The Caverns Below??
Valeera would call this card Lovely.
I would also call this card Lovely.
THICC ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
but I still gonna miss my Shadowcaster in 2k18 :'(
A very Good card .
good for your battlecry minions for sure
Not sure. Cheap copies always have potential for broken stuff...
But this is just a cheaper Shadowcaster that, crucially, is much more conditional in its mechanics.
Not sure it can make it through the meta better than Shadowcaster herself.
Haven't you played the Rogue nowadays ?
Just Bonemare something and before you trade with Bonemare next turn put Sonya the awesome babe on the board to get 1/1 copy of Bonemare.
Also Sonya grants Taunt to every Vilespine Slayer in your deck and hand.
You can just Shadowcaster the surviving Bonemare, and not even need to trade in order to get the clone.
This Shadowdancer is nothing new.
It is cheaper and better fitting combo, but its very mechanics is also what keeps her out of most combos.
... and after I have finished the Rogue quest, the 1/1 copies that come to my hand will be 5/5s, am I right?
This card is nuts. I predict that we have already seen enough tools to ressurect Quest Rogue, and it will even be put in any other Rogue archetype.
Hello another irl useless, on first look inspirative, rogue legendary.... where is your stealth keyword girl?
I think that would be pretty unfair, since you'd have no incentive to attack with her and remove stealth. Absent AOE, she would out value all sorts of things.
Sonya Shadowdancer seems like a really powerful card, and while she might be able to drive Quest Rogue back into the meta, I have to believe you can't rely on a single card to make that quest work. Between her and Shadowcaster and Kobold Illusionist, I'm excited to see what kind of tricky combo/OTK decks we'll be able to experiment with. But honestly, I'd be happy if Sonya can just be the value engine Valeera the Hollow was supposed to be for more value oriented decks like Jade Rogue.
I really hope Rogue doesn't get anymore stealth minion cards....
N’Zoth, Quest, Blade of C’Thun........ so many ways to make her work. Going to have to craft a gold version!
Ok, after the endless stream of totally mediocre rogue cards... we finally got something lethal
no. according to last changes to interactions she won't. "After" a minion dies. After she dies she won't be there anymore so no effect
No. I have played hearthstone enough to know that's not how it resolves. If the minion is destroyed the effect will not trigger, because it is destroyed first. It is not a deathrattle.
Quest Rogue comeback?
No way to effectively combo this with Malygos, so... not interested, next!
