Conceal

Conceal is a common rogue spell card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Classic set.

Strategy
Conceal is most commonly used as a way to protect your minions by preventing your opponent from trading for them. Conceal's stealth effect disables any taunt on the selected minions, and does not protect your minions from area of effect (AoE) spells.

Try dropping a strong passive effect minion on to the field before casting Conceal to get the most out of the card, such as a Spell Damage granting minion or Pint-Sized Summoner.

Conceal has great synergy with Doomsayer, together they make for a very cheap board wipe.

Conceal's Stealth effect is removed by attacking. This has two major consequences:
 * If you want to attack with certain minions, but still have them stealthed through your opponent's next turn, you need to attack with them first, then use Conceal.
 * If you want to stealth all of your minions except for certain ones (such as taunt minions, which you wish to continue taunting), use Conceal to stealth them first, then attack with them, removing the stealth effect and allowing to act as taunts next turn.

Lore
This card is named for the WoW rogue ability Shroud of Concealment, which is used to stealth nearby party members.

Trivia

 * The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "The Hunt for Illidan" series, for the card Fight or Blight.

Patch changes

 * Moved from Hall of Fame to Legacy set.
 * Moved from Classic to Hall of Fame set.
 * ''Commentary: Stealth is a very powerful mechanic, and can also be very frustrating to play against—more for some classes than others. Hearthstone should ultimately be a game of plays and counter plays, and Conceal makes it increasingly more difficult for other classes to interact with Rogue minions as time goes on. We considered promoting Gadgetzan Auctioneer to Wild instead, but in the end we decided to move Conceal because Auctioneer has proven to be one of the most skill testing cards in the game. We think the power level of Auctioneer decreases with this change, and games where Auctioneer is played will be a bit more interactive.
