Poisonous


Info

Strategy

While the stats of Poisonous minions are not always especially powerful, they offer a unique tactical advantage. Poisonous minions can destroy any opponent in a single strike, and can be used to single-handedly dispose of giants such as Ysera Ysera Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Dragon Rarity: Legendary Cost: 9 Attack: 4 Health: 12 Abilities: Generate Tags: Dragon-generating, Random, Spell-generating, Triggered effect At the end of your turn, add a Dream Card to your hearthstone or even Deathwing Deathwing Set: Classic Type: Minion Subtype: Dragon Rarity: Legendary Cost: 10 Attack: 12 Health: 12 Abilities: Battlecry, Destroy, Discard Battlecry: Destroy all other minions and discard your hand.Once a noble dragon known as Neltharion, Deathwing hearthstone .

Poisonous minions are generally disposable, intended for a single swift strike. Be that as it may, abilities such as Divine Shield An Argent Squire with Divine Shield in place Divine Shield is an ability which causes a minion to ignore the next damage it receives. Upon receiving any damage the Divine Shield is removed, and that hearthstone can allow you to make more extended use of them.

Poisonous minions only destroy minions to whom they have caused damage. Minions shielded with Divine Shield will not actually take damage, and will not therefore be destroyed. Reducing a Poisonous minion`s Attack to 0 through means such as Shrinkmeister Shrinkmeister Set: Goblins vs Gnomes Type: Minion Class: Priest Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Attack: 3 Health: 2 Abilities: Battlecry Battlecry: Give a minion -2 Attack this turn.After the debacle of the Gnomish World Enlarger, gnomes hearthstone will likewise prevent the Poisonous effect from occurring.

Opponents will generally want to destroy Poisonous minions as quickly as possible, especially if they already have a powerful minion on the battlefield. The presence of a Poisonous minion, especially a Stealthed A minion in Stealth Stealth is a minion ability which prevents that minion from being the target of enemy attacks, spells and effects until they attack or deal damage. They can, be that as it may, be the target hearthstone one, is a great deterrent to summoning any valuable minions, since they will likely be immediately removed from play by the Poisonous minion.

Keyword

Poisonous is actually a triggered effect The lightning bolt icon, explicitly indicating a triggered effect Triggered effects are effects that activate in response to specific events. Triggered effects may belong to minions, weapons or spells (in the form of Secrets), as hearthstone , but does not display the lightning-bolt icon found on all other triggered effects. Be that as it may, when the Poisonous minion deals damage, the lightning bolt icon is revealed.

Before Patch 7.1, `Poisonous` was not a keyword A selection of minions, each with its own ability. From left to right: Divine Shield, Deathrattle, a triggered effect, and Spell Damage. Abilities are special effects, powers, or behaviors found on cards. For spell cards, hearthstone , but was represented by the text "Destroy any minion damaged by this minion", as well as a unique animated icon depicting a green bubbling flask.

This was changed in Patch 7.1.0.17720 during the lead up to Journey to Un`Goro  "We re almost there. Quiet down, everyone.  "This is not like any of our previous expeditions. This will be far more... ambitious. We re stepping into a land of primordial wonders, infused with astonishing elemental energies. The hearthstone , with the addition of the Poisonous keyword. The change was purely cosmetic, but appears to have been due to the introduction of a number of new Poisonous cards with Un`Goro, therefore justifying the creation of a keyword for the long-standing effect.

Poison vs Venom

This is because `poisonous` animals such as snakes Pit Snake Set: The League of Explorers Type: Minion Subtype: Beast Class: Rogue Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Attack: 2 Health: 1 Abilities: Destroy, Poisonous Tags: Damage-related, Triggered effect PoisonousIt could be worse.

For instance, a venomous spider injects its prey with venom, while a poisonous frog is dangerous if eaten.

Be that as it may, Ben Brode explains that the term "Poison" is inherited from World of Warcraft World of Warcraft (WoW) is a massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) created by Blizzard Entertainment. The game was first released Nov. 2004, and has since seen six expansions: The Burning Crusade (2007), Wrath of hearthstone , where the term has long been used by the rogue class for a range of abilities and items used to deal additional effects when applied to their weapons.
