Envy, True Face

Envy has had a fair amount of playable allies since all the way back in Premier. Even now, with Copycat's eratta, Envy has 3 great allies, and a few more that are playable under certain conditions. The first two allies, which I believe are a bit weaker, are Envy, Doppelganger and Envy, Just a Rumor. Although they are powerful cards, they lack a certain distinct ability that True Face has.

True Face is, in my opinion, the single best ally in Sacrifice.
Although his ability isn't always useful (most notably against Scar, Life on the Run and Izumi Curtis, PO'ed), he shuts down some of the more powerful leaders in the game incredibly well, and also does something that's at least decent against many more. Combine that with his huge 5-6-0 stats for a turn 1 drop and he's a great inclusion in many decks.

In sealed and speed draft, he's a great inclusion for any deck that doesn't use Envy as a leader. He has great stats and a very damaging effect against several leaders. There's really no reason not to play a strong 1 drop like Envy.

Ratings:
Constructed: 4.5/5
Sealed: 4.5/5
Speed Draft: 4.5/5

Today's Sacrifice review is Envy, True Face. This by far has to be among the top cards released this set. Homonculus players should be all over this card for many reasons. It's 6 cost and recruitable turn one. It boasts 6 wits which is enough to play many events off the bat. And it's effect is devasting. It can singlehandly shut down many decks by denying the opponent the chance to do what their leader was designed to do. We'll have to see how it effects the meta in weeks to come to see if it THE Envy you would want to put in decks.
 
Constructed: 5/5-Homonculus gets even more control added to their bag of tricks.
