Spells always create a copy on your side. When I'm in a Priest mirror, I'll sometimes cast Psyche Split on important minions like Convincing Infiltrator or Reliquary of Souls, because stats are meaningless in that matchup, and it's more about what your minions do. Plus, I've used it to put Skeletal Dragons in SW:D range and summon my own copy.

Oh, well in that case I misunderstood. I didn't know that's how these types of cards worked.

I believe you are right, judging by other cards with similar effect that are already in play.

I would assume no matter who's minion you use it on, the 1/1 copy is summoned on your own side of the board.. I am definitely open to being wrong, that's just how I read it.

There are possible interesting plays like that, for sure! Copying some prime from the opponent, is also viable, I guess!

5/5 card for midrange Pally. Redemption > Shotbot / Loot Hoarder / Murgur Murgurgle > this. A lil Vectus down the road and GG WP

You can copy all the buffs inside the minions, like librams and other spells, copy the prime murloc or a reborn minion, copy other deathrattle minion, copy a murloc warleader... As for wild, there are even more options.

Cards like Goody Two-Shields and this one make me excited for a midrange Paladin deck. The former can probably see play in aggro decks because it's just a good card, but I think this one costs a bit too much to be in aggro.

Also, sad Vivid Nightmare noises.

Greetings fellow humans.. 

If they had one Convincing Infiltrator why would you want to give them 2? The only circumstances I can see where you'd want to cast this on an opponent's minion are Unlicensed Apothecary, Venture Co. Mercenary, some jank Wrathguard combo or to heal yourself with cards like Corrupted Healbot and Hench-Clan Shadequill. So there's a few, but nobody plays these cards.

EDIT: I didn't know that playing cards that summon copies on your opponent's minions summoned them on your side of the board.

I think this can fit in a Lady Liadrin Libram deck quite nicely. Currently I try and save her for a long as possible. But perhaps with this card, maybe I can drop her down with only 3 or 4 wisdom's in the pool, since I can play those and copy them with this. Or use Gift of Luminance earlier just to start getting 2 librams back sooner. Nice way to multiply your wisdom output at any point in the game. From a current pure paladin perspective, I'm excited for this.

Is there ever a reason you may cast this on an opponents minion? Like if they have a board of just one convincing infiltrator?

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

Yes the 1/1 will have divine shield.

Not exactly sure how paladins could use it, but priests would love this...

Ah yes... Cube priest will like it... Everyone else will hate it...

Sad to see this card going to priests hands... Happy to see it going to paladins hands.

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

Deathrattle priest just got nastier!!

Pushing aggro for paladin and rez for priest.

Everyone's favorite stale playstyles for both classes for sure.

Exciting.

Well, it looks like it is time to dust off Bolvar, Fireblood  once again and give it 'the old college try' ......... I'm sorry.  I'll show myself out now.

This is a good card in my opinion. It basically always trades favorably and it leaves a big body on the board. Paladins have access to both healing and single target buffs. And the opponent needs to remove this immediately because it will easily destroy any minions they play. If they can't do that (a 3/9 isn't that easy to kill without direct removal) then this could just win the game on its own. The high cost makes it prohibitive for decks that don't intend to play a longer game and that's okay. It will fit well into Duel Paladin (probably will still be a meme) and Highlander Paladin. Libram Paladin could use it as well. I approve this.

Ugh, now DH can also card steal. Now another class can do priest BS. :(

I'm surprised they are pushing a new card disruption theme to DH. I would have preferred they added more support to Big DH or token DH.
