Triggered effects include named abilities such as Battlecry and Deathrattle, also as unnamed effects such as those of Cult Main , Sword of Justice and Ragnaros the Firelord . All Secrets are triggered furnishings. Many triggered effects must kickoff be put into play in club to become active - such every bit by playing the minion, equipping the weapon, or casting the Hush-hush - while others activate when the carte itself is drawn, discarded or put into play. Unlike types of triggered effect frequently share common rules for their activation.

Since the virtually mutual types of triggers are represented past keywords such every bit Battlecry, the term triggered upshot is sometimes used more specifically to refer to those non indicated past a keyword, but instead described explicitly in their card text. Such effects are usually - but not ever - denoted when in play by a small lightning bolt icon, a flask with venom (Poisonous), or a broken heart (Lifesteal) at the bottom of the bill of fare's portrait or icon, and tin unremarkably be activated any number of times, but but while in play. Any power that states "at the end of your turn" or "at the start of your turn" is a triggered issue, as are virtually that state "when" or "whenever".

Notes [ ]

Chief commodity: Advanced rulebook

The interactions and timing of multiple triggered effects are some of the most complex rules in the game. This section is merely a summary:

• When multiple triggered furnishings actuate at in one case, such every bit at the end of a actor'south plough, the effects volition actuate in the order in which the minions were summoned, with the minions summoned beginning activating their triggered effects first. Any deaths resulting from the triggers then resolve at once, followed by consequences from those deaths. Nevertheless, there are exceptions to this rule.

• Triggered effects which trigger from playing cards or casting spells may have place before or afterwards the card takes effect, depending on the trigger. For example, activating Leader of the Pack with a Violet Teacher active volition cause her to summon a fresh Violet Apprentice , who will so do good from the Leader of the Pack buff,^[i] while playing Inner Rage on a 3/ane Wild Pyromancer will destroy the minion earlier it tin can actuate its effect.

• For notes on individual types of triggered effects, see the appropriate sections.

Advanced [ ]

• Triggered effects require the menu not to have been destroyed. However, the game but checks to destroy minions with 0 or negative Health when an event phase ends. This means that a minion tin be triggered during the same phase in which it is destroyed, regardless of the order in which the events take place. For instance, if 3 enemy Explosive Sheep are killed by your Flamestrike while you have an Acolyte of Pain on the board, the Acolyte will trigger three times (despite his Wellness reaching 0 after the get-go Exploding Sheep'south Deathrattle) since he cannot completely die while the Sheep Deathrattles are nevertheless beingness handled. One time all simultaneous effects take resolved, the game will and then check for any minions at 0 or lower Health, notice the Acolyte and destroy it. Conversely, Cult Main cannot trigger from the decease of a friendly minion killed at the same time as the Cult Principal itself, since by the time the game checks for triggers from the deaths, the Cult Master has also been destroyed.
