EXACT copies of a card will retain any buffs or debuffs the minion had except for damage. Time to stock up on those Killing Edges ⚔ pic.twitter.com/OwEW56SUzB

Could this be the return of Baconator post rotation???

it needs 2 more mana to play the extra Bacon… I don’t think the Baconator experience will be the same.

I think however, that this could be an exellent Scarzig support card. It never mentions, that it can’t copy Tokens.

Ok you buff a cheap minion to oblivion, then you copy it, profit.

What happens if you use this on a dispelled minion?

All effects including Dispelled will be on the copy…

well than its not that good.

You forget that this is an excellent intensify support card…

For those who can’t get to twitter, here’s the card.

True but the songhai intensify minion needs to be amazing to justify this

With Mirror Meld rotating out, I guess this is the next rendition of meld, but with a little less value on 2 drop minions but has intensify support.
Time will tell, but I reckon it’ll be used, though nichely.

your all missing the big thing here, you play baconator, play this and next turn you can play this and copy it again, or another thing you can do is play the second with a new buff adding on to the already buffed minion :sweat:

this is exactly what we needed… old karas bootleg return

I think this card had the potential to be very strong… The fact that you put an EXACT copy moody likely means that any buffs put on three minion will carry over. It also doesn’t have a mana cost restriction that mirror melee has, meaning you can recycle minions like EMP. Depending on the effect of Songhai’ s intensify minion, this card might be a very strong pick.

we better see more debuffs. only cipheron and abyssian have those so far

It seems a bit costly to me. Either something really cool to copy is coming or I don’t think it will see play, it’s quite slow and Songhai doesn’t run many buffs.

I wonder about temporary buffs. @ThanatosNoa may help on this: if I cast something like Ethereal Blades or Saberspine Seal on a minion and then cast this, does the copy get a temporary buff or a permanent buff? Put it differently, does it copy all stats and keywords or also the temporal nature of some buffs? Thanks!

If you want to go for the Memes, you can go:
Rook
Hsuku
Scarzig/Feather Knight ( with Obscuring Blow, to play it with Inner Focus out of hand)

I want to say (but cannot confirm) that those temporary buffs are copied over and would work in a similar fashion (so Saberspine Seal would transfer and then disappear at the end of turn).

I’m a little bit confused. If I cast a 3 mana spell that buffs one of my minions ( with Killing edge for example) then cast second self onto it, do I get a minion that cost +3 extra mana to play or does it retain its original cost?

you play 1 mana katara
you KE on 1 mana katara
you now have, in your hand, a 5/5, 1 mana katara

etc
