    Does the 1/1 also get divine shield? It says “then” summon a 1/1 copy

    Pretty good with cards like Dragonmaw Overseer in priest and Ancestral Guardian in Paladin but it has anti-synergy with deathrattles.

    A strong tool in both classes, but I think its a little better in Priest.  It helps push the tempo-deathrattle archetype and can duplicate strong minions like everyone's favorite fellow human.  In Paladin there are less things that get super value for being copied, but Paladin is already poised to be aggressive and this card could definitely be slotted in aggressive lists.

    If you copy something with a previously triggered spellburst, would the copy also be spent or have its spellburst effect available?

    Looking forward to getting to play this card, helps to actually turn lynessa into a real threat instead of something that just gets cleared with a single card every time. Can just pile on even more librams onto your minions the next turn

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    Damn, had my hopes up this would trigger Making Mummies. Oh well.

    That said, still a very solid support card for Reborn and Deathrattle decks. Also a buff card to Lady Liadrin.

    If this has the same behavior as the other copy effects, I assume you copy the current state not the original of the minion. If cast on a un-activated spell burst minion, the spell burst is copied. If not, then spell burst is not copied.

    Yes, if it's a copy of a minion with divine shield, then it gets divine shield.

    a very strong card in my opinion, but is naturally a combo card so card draw is a necessity to play this to any good effect.

    Might just be one of those 'if only' cards, given that both paladin and priest cant draw for shit.

    Still, the potential to be broken is there.

    Suprisingly enough, the Divine Shield aspect of the card is what balances it out for the Priest side. This way, Priests cannot simply pop their expensive deathrattles twice in one turn but need to wait a bit to pop shield and then die.

    Its a good card for Paladins as it is able to copy Librams and keep your minion alive, but I do not think it is good enough to be run in a deck. We will have to see.

    This ain't no place for a hero

    I think it is pretty strong. Most Priest spell that make copy of your minions are usually more expansive. This could fit both a control Paladin/Rez oriented or a tempo play to build up your board presence, multiply your deathrattle, etc., either way, pretty holly stuff!

    Divine Shield for Druid? Oh my. I just know this is going to be used on sticky taunt minions to make them even more annoying, among other things of course.

    That's paladin, not druid.

    3 mana clones spells are already available in priest, and they slot into raza priest to make copies of spawn of shadows fairly well.

    This can be used there as well, but I wonder if paladins have any use for this.

     

    This post is discussing the wild format.

    The priest and the 2mana annoying arakkoa just became that much more sticky :(......
