Independent Futurist. Contrarian (titled, X votes where X is the number of votes as the acting minion.) Target Vitals is always the better combat card.

"Deja Vu"
Remove a reaction card in your ash heap from the game. Play this card as if it has the text, costs and requirements of the removed card.
What this card does:
It provides flexibility. Have an untapper, some intercept, or a bounce card in your ash heap? Well with one "Deja Vu" you have any of those in your hand as well.
It lets you play a "second" copy of a card. Play a Spirit's Touch, and then play "Deja Vu" with the card text of Spirit's Touch.
I think it can be a powerful card, but you really can't put a lot in a deck. It doesn't work well with things like Ashur's Tablets (which IMO is a good thing.)
You could argue that thematically this card could work for Temporis or Dementation or even Dominate (but Dominate doesn't need this!)

Reminds me of
Faster than Light
.
I guess the card should be written as:
"[aus] This minion plays a reaction card from your ash heap. When that card would be burned, remove it from the game instead."
For balance, I think you have to choose between:
- copying a card played *during this action*
and - being able to play a card from your ash heap a second time.
But not both.
I would also make it require [AUS] with an average inferior effect such as
"[aus] Reduce a bleed against you by 1."

It gives some flexibility to the cost of some deckbuilding challenge (and sometimes it won't be useful, but that's also a tradeoff)Fun. But why do you think it´s needed? (Is it in line with the design teams current philosophy?) What decks will profit?

Maybe for you, but not for the other players.A good way to make Ashur Tablet a bit less powerful.
