Lyra is getting crazy this expansion.
umm didn’t priest already had suh card :D. I know it worked only on enemy minions and it was uncommon and it was obviously not a zerek deck rip off. But hey its not like faceless manipulators are out of the game :D.
Mech c’thun the Mech c’thun genius!!
But in all seriousness this card destroys half of the quests and can cause emergency swings like copying a vilespine or Lich king
I’m also comparing this card to mind visions
Like Zola the gherkin
gherkin?
Mech c’thun the Mech c’thun genius!!
But in all seriousness this card destroys half of the quests and can cause emergency swings like copying a vilespine or Lich king, or even better yet if you run Keleseth you can copy it
Like Zola the gherkin
Hold up I’m stupid…
you can’t run this with Keleseth sorry
well compare to zola it can target enemy minion and 1 mana less its so better.
and compare to convert u can target friendly minion.
i always wanted seomthing like this for priest.
priest is backing to game finally after 1 year.
5/5 card
2 mana get a minion priest spell.
Never seen that before.
3/5 has potential
I’m comparing this card to shadow visions and Zola the Gorgen because you can make copies of specific minions or copy an enemy minion something Zola couldn’t do
Wow, Convert just got shat on.
Nice potential for thief, combo, or control. Strong 4/5
A more flexible Zola the Gorgon without a body but it costs 1 less, and can also be fetched with Shadow Visions. There’s synergy with powerful battlecry minion,s and also that 7/8 zombie that gets discounted when you play spells. Could be a nice set up for something similar to the Arcane Giant + Valeera the Hollow HP cheese.
The copy’s not golden though
It is if this card is.
and this is cheaper to craft
Lose some tempo because it haven’t direct impact on the game, but freaking huge potential, i hope priest get a new board control card to make these combo decks works.
Although a ton better being able to target your own minions, I feel like this card is gonna be in a similar boat as Convert from Grand Tournament
Otk with this would require some prep but you don’t need Zola.
Use shadow visions to get copies of this so have 3 in minimum. Use gilded gargoyle for a coin unless went second and kept starting one. If survive to turn 10 play prophet then radiant coin and either second radiant or make a copy with vivid nightmare.
After that just tag velen with the 3 seance and then all you need is talanji and a mindblast.
It’s doable but tricky. However if could pull off the spirit of the dead cloning gallery method for a 1 cost velen and pull with Bwom then you could still do it without radiant just substitute in a balefull banker incase draw velen to kick a copy into deck for cloning.
Btw yes I know that it priest would probably use other cards but for the second option you can nearly do the combo even after rotation balefull banker being just if drew it but it may be possible without it.
Combo with Talanji?
Cheaper Zola minus the body. (And it’s not like you were playing Zola for the body anyways.)
Also Zola can only copy friendly minions and this can target enemy minions.
Wow, this card has so much potential. You could steal any minion from your opponent and it could also copy your own minions for combos. Also some synergy with Talanji.
5/5
Priest as a class generally benefits from the instant tempo advantage generated by cards like Faceless Manipulator rather than combo set up with a legendary card. That goes double when Stonehill Defender will quite often discover a copy of Obsidian Statue and already slots quite nicely into most decks that would be interested in playing Talanji.
Seance’s biggest competition for seeing play will be Faceless Manipulator. The latter can easily offer an up to five mana discount on a powerful minion at the cost of any battlecry that minion may have had. Sure, any damage that minion had already taken will also be reflected on the copy, but that is a small cost to pay for a five mana Lich King or Obsidian Statue.
This card’s primary appeal is being able to reuse powerful battlecries like Amara, Warden of Hope, Reno Jackson in Wild, Primordial Drake, and perhaps Archbishop Benidictus. As such, this can be seen as “Two mana, Draw a Good Card.” However, it losing out on the tempo advantage Faceless Manipulator offers really hurts the chances of this card seeing competitive play in a class that already doesn’t really do much with the Manipulator.
There would have to be quite a few things going right for Seance to really see the light of day outside of Wild.
This card’s potential that it has over Faceless is that it allows battlecries to trigger.
I wrote about that in the second paragraph.
Oh look a combo card for the priest champion copy opponent big minion then nuke it off play talangi and auto summon the copy.
This card will see play and most likely at least 1 copy will be in ressurects not priest.
Actually I can see this in an otk priest use this and say Zola the gorgan to get copies of velen in hand or whatever else need.
Play talangi and it will summon all the copies from your hand.
And why its a common and zola legendary? ?
Because Zola is available to all classes and for 1 more mana you get a 2/2 as well.
holy… this card will probably be abused in a couple of decks.
prepare for some sick Radiant Elemental/ Zola Shennanigans
It’s free with two Radiants on the board so… what can a Priest do with 6 mana left and -4 cost to their spells? A lot, I would imagine. And there are probably more efficient ways to cheat this out.
Wait, misread the card, derp. There is definitely still some crazy combo potential for this of course.
more meme potential with princess, other than that its in the same spot as holy water
3/5
This is a lot better than holy water.
Baleful Banker subtract the 2/2 minion…
Nvm lol I was obviously trippin when I wrote that
