    Faceless Manipulator seems more reliable

    1. kevinloks1937

      Exactly , also not sure about this , but copying a minion health and attack , is it copying the current or the original?

      1. TomBombadil

        Current, like how Void Terror eats temporary buffs. Which means this *might* be interesting in zoo with Power Overwhelming and things like Dark Iron Dwarf because the +2 becomes permanent. After all, Deathrattle/Egg/Demon zoo won't be in standard, so we might see a return of the real buff-minion-heavy style, and this could get some value out of that.

        While the big plays with Giants are flashy, this might have a better home with more simple value plays.

      2. Ninjax

        It might be the current

      3. jeniok

        I'm sure current

      4. cameldd

        It makes all the sense to copy the current one, that's how the mechanism in HS works.
        You can get the best example out of Faceless manipulator like in above comments.

        Another downside to it is if it gets silenced since it will turn to a miserable 1/1. I don't believe it will see much play, possibly in warlock but.... meh.....

      5. OverlordLucs

        Always the current, never the original unless specified

      6. Nightfall

        I think current

  2. kevinloks1937

    Is it just me or is all the epics getting worst each day?

    This card is only good if your ahead of the board......

    If you have nothing on board and turn 4 , your going to play this card?!

    It's effect should be copy any minion attack + health instead of just your own , then it will be a consider card

  3. Turboisa

    The only negative part of this is friendly minion, will be fantastic in handlock with molten giants and such.

    1. Nightfall

      oh no, 10 health, dont worry... MOLTEN GIANT MOLTEN GIANT TAUNT UP FACELESS SHAMBLER FACELESS SHAMBLER, in other words... 4 8/8 taunts and a 2/3

      1. trillaace

        then a mage hits you with 2 fire balls in the face or one pyro blast lol.

        1. Nightfall

          and what if its not a mage?

          1. iron

            priest duble mind blasts you xD

      2. lennon255

        Actually if you had Emperor reduce the shamblers and use a Defender of Argus you end up with 4 9/9 taunts and a 2/3

  4. Thurz

    O.O me gusta

  5. jeniok

    I guess this could be in the Reno lock. Works great with high health creature's and molten giants. And don't forget it has a taunt. But. Argus gives 2 minions taunt and +1+1 and he's in the 4 bracket. So I'm not sure if its good to have so many tech cards in one bracket.

  6. patiha

    Would this work well with power overwhelming? Give a 2/3 minion +4/+4 and make Shambler a 6/7 taunt? It will work like that wont it?

    1. Nightfall

      I think so

    2. lennon255

      That actually sounds pretty good. Also I could see this card being absolutely devastating in Handlock since copying a Twilight Drake or some Giant are both fantastic.

  7. Fez

    It has taunt though. And it's cheaper. Altough I agree it would be better if it could copy stats from any minion.

  8. Woozis

    Actually it's pretty good synergy with Bran PogChamp

    1. Xpyto

      Its "copy" not "gain" so no, brann wont work

  9. cameldd

  10. sly16bit

    This in a Djinni Priest deck!!! <3

  11. ZekeHyle

    This has potential in a deck utilizing Ancient Watcher, Eerie Statue and the likes (e.g. silence druid).

  12. SDhn2a

    Earth Shock says hello. Not that anyone plays it...

    1. Just a prinny

      Earth shock doesn't change faceless, so Prehaps this guy is immune to silence as well.

      1. jordon carmen

        Not the case faceless becomes a new minion this just gains stats

        That being said silence nerfs may be coming

        1. Just a prinny

          Well this minion doesn't "gains" the stats it copies them

  13. shiang

    almost a faceless manipulator. But you have to play a control deck since you can't copy opponents minions but it does have tuant and costs 1 less. Obiously the big draw back is it can't copy abilities.

    Missing Info?

    Mechanics: Battlecry, Summon (along with Copy Minion, which is already there)

    1. Evident

      Thanks, fixed!
