Vision of Darkness - replacement for Lyra the Sunshard but better. Because it's spell, it has discover and it discovers shadow spells only.
Vision of darkness looks fun with radiant elemental still in core, I don’t know if there’s a good way to clone them right now though. The one drop also seem good but I’m pretty sure aggressive shadow priests haven’t been a thing in standard since the illucia change and I don’t think an above average one drop is gonna make it a thing again
Renanthal has murdered Shadow Priest. It could gasp out a win or two back when people were still perfecting 40-card decks, but now it's just Bad Hunter or Slow Aggro Demon Hunter. It can win games, but the numbers aren't on its side. I don't think the Frozen Throne set makes this any better; quite the opposite since armor-granting heroes and the Lich King and other fan favorites tend to slow the game down.
Isn't the Sister too slow? She is a 6-mana "do nothing" with an overhead for each Shadow spell generated that costs you 3 apiece. They're not even cast; you still need to pay for them too! That seems very expensive... you could waste a whole turn prepping for the next one and be dead by then.
Of course Sister Svalna isn't meant to be played in an aggressive meta: what you're looking for is an attrition environment, in which value wins games.
What if vision of darkness gets stolen? Does opponent's copy stay in hand permanently as well or they can use it only once? Does another copy of it generate itself in your hand after it is stolen or the effect is stolen as well?
From what I’ve heard, it is mechanically similar to an “infinte twinspell” in which it is added back to the hand of whoever played it. So if it gets stolen, then tough luck to that player!
This is purely a speculation of mine, but I guess that Vision of Darkness will stay in the hand of whoever casts it.
The permanent effect is engraved on the spell itself, so you don't need Svalna's Battlecry to go off for you first.
Therefore, if you're a Warrior playing Asvedon, the Grandshield you'll get a Vision of Darkness yourself!
Is there any shadow spells in warrior anyway? even if you get it via asvedon its just a dead card in hand.
Nope, you'll Discover Priest Shadow spells. There is a tweet somewhere confirming it, but I cannot find it at the moment.
However, I am 1000% confident in the answer I gave you.
I can confirm this with another in-game action;
When you acquire and play Secret Plan with Priest, you always discover a hunter secret. It should work like this interaction, I assume.
Not sure about that one: the card text says it stays in your hand, not that a new copy is added to your hand. Of course not all Hearthstone cards are implemented exactly as worded, but when taking the card text literally, re-casting wouldn't give you a fresh copy.
Recasting does give you a fresh copy (Source).
Ayooo what is that Vision of Darkness? Nuts in a vacuum.
Ouch. I hope you got them out of there.
I played right into this one, didn't I?
