it's an ok card i guess , but i bet it won't see play cause it's too rely on your opponent to have a strong minion , at that point you rather use some better cards to deal with the giant minion
People seem to not realize Priest has cards that interact powerfully with deathrattles. Wretched Reclaimer and Shadowy Figure in particular. Also Embalming Ritual, Power Word: Replicate, Coffin Crasher, and Catrina Muerte, though most of those cards actually wouldn't work with this card since it needs its battlecry. But this card could be great in a deck with some deathrattle synergies if it was viable...which the new Chronobreaker AOE dragon helps with.
I hate evolve as a mechanic and wish it stayed a gimmick for Whispers of the Old Gods only where it made most sense thematically.
And I will play whatever I want thank you very much. I don’t need a random person on the internet telling me what to play after they failed to make me agree with them.
I disagreed with you, you disagreed with me. I don’t know what else do you want. Stop harassing me in the hopes I somehow agree with you.
Bye.
Another useless Priest legendary. No immediate board effect, deathrattle with no taunt, no resurrect synergy...
Useless against control decks, useless against most of the other popular decks - Quest Shaman, Quest Druid...
Sorry but that's ridiculous: nowadays besides Big Priest in wild, every control deck plays minions. And in a Control vs Control-Matchup, Priest is already quite strong.
It specifies 'new' copy, implying that it will not have the same stats as the targeted one but rather the stats it would have had you played it yourself. So, if you copy something that was buffed with Blessing of Kings or had taken damage, it'd ignore all that and just summon a fresh one.
Glad most people say so! It's not the best card, but it certainly has my attention.
If I open it, I will try it a good while before I choose whether to keep it or dust it.
by the text of the cards
1 - it targets enemy minions ONLY
2 - it summons another copy, doesn't state where (so it can and most likely be spawned on the opponent's board for reasons)
3 - it's a copy, so it should have the same stats as the targetted one
Cool, insults. Like what did I do to you? did you design this card?
If you want to disagree with me then do it without insults. As if insults will suddenly change my opinion on this card and as if my opinion matters to you too much you can't enjoy this card unless I agree with you.
Only if the new version summoned is an exact copy
the wording is odd, but i guess you summon a copy for yourself.
this card is egg priest's card, much faster than Faceless and keeps up with the tempo, copying a 1/1 gives 3 mana 4/4, not to mention those new big boys. good meta counter, believe me
This is tricky to pin down right now. If your opponent is ahead and you can get decent value with this guy, you might need to play removal spells on that same turn making an overall weak play. If you're petty far ahead, either this will have no target or it will be the nail in the coffin your game had already been placed in for your opponent.
Cool card, but not meta defining in my eyes.
Yea it can copy some of the high value minions from this set but until your opponent plays something worth copying this card is 3 mana 3/3 sitting in your hand...
Even if you copy a 2/2 it’s a 3 mana 5/5. There isn’t really a reason to hold it, considering this is meant for a tempo deck, not control.
Against control this will be a 3 mana 3/3 on turn 3, 2nd worst case 3 mana 4/4 because control decks will on average not play many minions early
..."New" copy? Interesting language.
Also, as other people said, no synergy with any deathrattle priest stuff. Literally why wouldn't you just play Faceless Manipulator if you want this effect?
Completely different cards with completely different goals... Faceless Manipulator is used to copy something in your deck to do some combo. Mindflayer Kaarjhjkhdswhatever is just a high tempo card that puts a lot of status on the board.
How are people saying this is bad? This is a huge tempo boost. Even if you copy a freaking 1/1 it’s a 3 mana 4/4, bare minimum. On average it’s probably a 3 mana 5/5 or 6/6 on turn 3, or even higher if you keep it in hand. Stop saying this doesn’t work in Deathrattle or rez priest because it’s not really meant for that, but a tempo deck *cough*combo priest*cough* which actually benefits from stat advantage. It’s quite possible that a dragon tempo deck emerges as well with the new cards.
A 3 mana 4/4 isn’t unfair enough for this game. A card (or collection of cards) needs to feel unfair to be competitively viable I am afraid
