Deathrattle is an ability where the stated effect occurs when the card is removed from play. Cards with Deathrattle appear with a skull and crossbones when in play and can be silenced. Minions may benefit from multiple Deathrattles at the same time.
Notes
Deathrattle effects occur after battle damage has been calculated and minions destroyed. Additional effects caused by damaging spells such as 
Bane of Doom will also take place before any Deathrattles.
When two minions with Deathrattle die at once, both Deathrattles will take place. According to Lead Designer Eric Dodds, events such as Deathrattles that are triggered simultaneously will occur in the order in which the related cards were played.[1] For example, if a Sylvanas Windrunner attacks another Sylvanas Windrunner, destroying both minions, the Deathrattle of the Sylvanas which was summoned first will take place first, followed by the Deathrattle of the Sylvanas which was summoned second.
However, player experience often directly contradicts this rule, even when repeatedly tested.[2][3] While some have hypothesised complex rules of minion tiers and priority to predict and explain this behaviour, many reported experiences appear to directly contradict each other in the order of events. This variation may be due simply to bugs in the current build, or may reflect more complex rules underlying the game's behaviour.
