Hearthstone |OT9| Our raid wiped in Icecrown Citadel

The 5 mana is just a practical limit, not a hard limit. Like, if you Emperor Leeroy down to 4, you would have 6 mana to play the 6 mana Shadow Leeroy. Or if you somehow got Summoning Portal.

Play prep (prep copied), play thistle tea (thistle tea copied) - 3 mana
Play copied thistle tea - 6 mana
Altogether 9 mana
Isn't this how it works?
This rogue card is so unique I love it. The more I think about it, the more I think it will actually slot in well for miracle. I hope it's not too slow, but it's an auto win card against control decks (though you were already favored) and it can really give you that extra boost you need to beat mage. Sometimes you are only 1 turn off. Combo that with extra chances at iceblock from hallucination and swash burgler. This card could single handedly bring mage vs rogue to an even mu
No, Shadow Visions copies the last played card. So it would copy Thistle Tea but it would be at its full 6 mana cost.
So it goes:
0 mana - Prep (Shadow Visions is now a copy of Prep but you aren't going to play it)
3 mana - Thistle Tea (Shadow Visions is now a copy of Thistle Tea)
6 mana - Thistle Tea (Shadow Visions copy for full mana)
Who has the anti-Jade card? I am anxious about that one.
Or Counterfeit Coin.
Hopefully not another crab

counterfeit coin would be copied by the shadow...
emperor looks like the only option

That's not how prep works though? Prep discounts thistle tea by 3, you play thistle tea for 3 then play shadow reflections thistle tea for 6.
Why would shadow reflections be prep?

Coin can't put you at 11 mana, so it wouldn't work. If you do Leeroy then coin, you would copy coin.
You can do the somewhat dumb thing of play the copy counterfeit coin, which may be a lot more potent than at first glance, especially if auctioneer is in play.
At that point, why not just play Faceless Manipulator?

Coin first.
Maybe you play this instead of Faceless for your combo. Value every turn instead of just once. Plus Ice Block, lol!
I think once it copies a card, it can't be change?
Last card you played was prep, so it's gonna be a copy of prep?
Maybe I'm wrong.

It doesn't seem to be a spell.
coin at 10 mana doesn't give you an extra mana. Gutshot's order is the only way to do it.

If you play prep and then thistle tea, how is prep the last card you played?
The text of Shadow Visions reads "Each time you play a card, transform this into a copy of it." So yes, it will keep changing.
Last card you played before it transform.
In my head it would be
Prep - shadow copy a prep and it's permanent - thistle tea.
Edit: Ah I see.
Yeah this card is batshit crazy strong for symmetrical draw (aka mill) rogue.
I just want to get away from calling that type of deck mill, since they have finally introduced actual mill mechanics (Gnomeferatu).

I think it's a neat card, but so far I haven't seen any real strong suggestions. It's the type of card you need multiple turns to really get value off it. It's like passively drawing a second card every turn. It wins a top decking situation... maybe, because the turn you play it you've done nothing to affect the board.
It's unique and it looks fun. I'll probably craft it and try to make it work.
So far I am not seeing many combos that aren't better performed another way. Leeroy has shadowstep. Jades have shadowcaster, granted I still think this has a lot of potential with jades.
There are two unique uses I see so far. 1, it copies spells which rogue can't easily do except with rng off mimic pod. 2, arcane giants should work as arcane giant cost should be an exception to the whole "no cost reduction", cause it's not copying the cost reduction as a copied arcane giant will reduce itself.
I wish this could work with malygos somehow.

Why wouldn't it work with Malygos?
that's only 20 damage for 12 mana
you're actually better off doing
leeroy + cold blood + cold blood + cold blood (copy) + eviscerate for 22 damage at 10 mana
throw another prep + evis in there and you can kill somebody from 26

It's no emperor replacement.

just when I was about to call it quits (got my refund) they give us such a cool card. I'll craft this and if I have to dust everything I got.

Enjoying the card reveals from this expansion more than Un'Goro.
And Un'Goro was a great set, so that's pretty nice. Balance of course remains to be seen. But KOFT looks fun as hell. I'm excited.

Bought 9 packs of Whispers to get the guaranteed legendary (returned to game for first time since 2015), and was greeted by... Nat the Darkfisher. Ended up with two golden epics/three golden rares for cards I already have, so still great dust value in advance of the new release, I guess.
that's actually got the potential to be really gross
rogue goes stealth turn 9, you literally cannot kill them, and then they leeroy+cold blood combo you to death next turn
you are going to see it coming every time and you basically have to have a big taunt to drop or you just die

He's roleplaying..... professor putricide? He's really selling it, though. And getting more viewers than I've ever seen him get on Twitch...
The combo of emperor + leeroy + PO + Faceless manipulator is back again.
I'm pretty sure the decks are completely random. I got Hunter and assumed it was going to be the dinosaur deck and my Shaman opponent would be elementals. But it was the reverse. At one point, I had two Lyras and a Neptulon in my hand.
decks are random.
My warrior deck had 2 kalimos and 2 ragnaros lightlords.
(and I won)
While I'm sure the decks are random, I just had 3 King Moshes in my opening hand.
Against the luckiest priest in the world as well.

Pretty good pack...
any idea if this is fixed now? If not I might as well join everyone in opening 10 packs of each set.
I didn't save packs for this, opened the ones I got last month as usual. I didn't even know it was gonna work out like this.
I just did it and got a legendary in the first ten packs of gvg, wotog, msog and ungoro.
I have opened tons of packs of all of them besides gvg.
