Scarlet Purifier

Scarlet Purifier is a rare paladin minion card, from the Goblins vs Gnomes set.

Strategy
This card's effect will hit your own Deathrattle minions too. This is generally a drawback to playing this card, but it can be very useful in combination with cards like Nerubian Egg and Runic Egg, to activate their Deathrattles. While this card's Battlecry only affects Deathrattle minions, by destroying a minion such as Explosive Sheep, Unstable Ghoul or Boom Bot, it can be used to deal damage to other minions as well. Care must be considered when using the Purifier against enemy minions, for it could prove a hindrance rather than a benefit.

Scarlet Purifier has an interesting combination with Desperate Stand. You can use the Deathrattle from the spell to atract the damage from Purifier's Battlecry. This can be used to finish the minion and then using Reinforce or Rush minions to destroy the revived version.

His effect can be used alongside Baron Rivendare and Hakkar, the Soulflayer to launch 2 blood cards for your opponent.

You can intentionally destroy Silver Vanguard for an 8 cost Recruit (Charged Devilsaur, The Lich King, Ragnaros the Firelord, Tirion Fordring). Or intentionally destroy Chromatic Egg for a surprise dragon.

 * ''As they wander the blasted wastes, the undead creatures who call the home have learned to scan the horizon continually for the crimson garb of the Scarlet Crusade. Scarlet Crusaders come from many vocations — warrior, priest, wizard, scout — but all have one obsession: the complete and utter destruction of the plagueborn creatures who have conquered and occupied their ancestral homelands. Whether a red robe, a red tabard or red lacquered armor, a Scarlet Crusader wears the bright color as a brazen declaration that the red blood of the living still flows in her veins and a beacon calling her undead foes to battles. Though often seen traveling in squads, even a lone Crusader will charge into battle with a zealous rage to destroy both the undead and any she fears may be "plagued".
