It gives you info on the minions your opponent has in their deck + you get to take one. If you hate RNG, go play another game and quit whining.
its a copy of the minion it does not steal the minion
This adds a copy, the shudderwock would still be in the opponents deck.
do you even read the text
What a bad comment
No. It doesn’t. Put the life at 40 is not a win condition. You will die anyway. It is only longer.
we already saw such card in tgt, one that copies a card from the board whoch never saw play, but this is better since you can do it early game, and the minion is almost always good.
but I still think this card won't see play if you want a minion you would rather put it in your deck
Comparing this to Convert is probably not fair. Because this interacts with your opponent's deck, you can play it early before they've dropped their big, powerful minions, whereas Convert was a card you couldn't play early if you wanted something big, and couldn't play late because it provided no tempo. Cloning Device is a discover effect, mitigating the fact that choosing exactly what you want from the board is (at least in some sense), better than a card in the deck that can't be precisely chosen. I'm not sure that means this is playable, but it's certainly better than Convert
I mentioned it's better than convert myself but better than a bad card isn't necessarily good enough to see play, you are paying 2 mana for the effect you got for free with drakonid operative.. which was an op and synergistic card but still 2 mana for same effect.
FWIW, it's not the same effect. Drakonid Operative discovered a card, and this discovers a minion. That may be strictly worse, or it may be better - probably depends on the metagame a little. And yes, this might be too fair an effect to see play, but I wouldn't discount it before seeing the rest of the set. The Priest theme is the "cloning lab," so there may be synergies for this that have yet to be revealed.
Yeah I agree maybe there's something strong regarding minions from your opponent's deck.
compared to past cards it's both good than a really bad card, and worse than an OP cards
Also it can compare to A Light in the Darkness
better: it's a "good minion" (good in the context of enemy deck), and priest have more AOE and healing than paladin.
worse: no +1/+1 buff
on this case it's more similar to it, but the above card was never good enough to see play.. so unless there's some reward for stealing minions, there's no reason to run this over a minion that fits your own deck (except dust limitations)
If not in a meta deck then in my meme copy my opponents deck, deck.
Maybe for a new Lyra Priest archetipe?
Sick rogue card! Oh wait its priest
Doesn't fit in any archetype really.
Blizzard schedule only links to Eurogamer so that's the main reason for going with it. It would be a lot more work if we were to try and find out all sites that revealed this.
Dragon Soul anyone? No? Okay.
Drakonid Operative not again....at least this one doesn't come with a well stated body
It's also only for finding minions, rather than cards. (Presumably that's for thematic reasons, as this is a Cloning Device).
A good card for a Tess but a card for priest
