The accelerant ability is being removed and replaced with: Each time a minion is killed, you may remove and hinder a twilight condition to shuffle that minion into your draw deck. This should put it on roughly the same power level as all of the other Omens and since minions are usually killed in the Archery or Skirmish phases, it leaves the free people player with an opportunity to attack it in the maneuver phase, like all of the other Omens.
