Positional effects are effects which are partly determined by the position of minions on the battlefield.

Notes[]

The vast majority of effects are not affected by minion position. They may affect only the targeted minion(s), or affect an area of effect. Positional effects are the exception, and serve to make minion placement a strategically significant choice.

Players can choose where to place a minion when summoning it. However, once the minion has been summoned it cannot be moved, potentially making this initial placement an important choice. Players can plan for positional effects by placing their minions in an ideal formation. For example, when playing against a rogue, it may be wise to place a high attack minion on the end of the row, rather than between other minions, to minimise the impact of Ashes of OutlandBasicBlackrock MountainClassicHero SkinsNaxxramasDemon Hunter InitiateDescent of DragonsFestival of LegendsForged in the BarrensFractured in Alterac ValleyGalakrond's AwakeningGoblins vs GnomesLegacyLegacyJourney to Un'GoroKnights of the Frozen ThroneKobolds & CatacombsThe League of ExplorersMadness at the Darkmoon FaireMarch of the Lich KingMean Streets of GadgetzanMercenariesMurder at Castle NathriaOne Night in KarazhanPath of ArthasRastakhan's RumblePromoRise of ShadowsSaviors of UldumScholomance AcademyThe Boomsday ProjectThe Grand TournamentThe WitchwoodTITANSUnited in StormwindVoyage to the Sunken CityWhispers of the Old GodsCoreBetrayal.
