Hammer of Wrath

Hammer of Wrath is a paladin spell card, inducted into the Legacy set, formerly from the Basic set.

Strategy
Hammer of Wrath is one of few single-target removal spells available to this class. It's similar to the druid's Starfire or the rogue's Shiv in that all three deal some amount of damage to a minion or hero while drawing the user a card. As such, its most efficient use is the removal of an enemy minion with exactly 3 health or the removal of a problematic minion when one is incapable of attacking it directly (such as when an enemy controls a minion with Taunt).

Lore
