Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Repentance notes.

  • Like the other Secrets that trigger when your opponent plays a minion from their hand (LegacyMirror Entity, LegacySnipe, The League of ExplorersSacred Trial), Repentance triggers in the After Play Phase following the Battlecry Phase. This means that all effects and death processing related to the minion's Battlecry resolve before the game queues and resolves Secrets such as Repentance. For example, if your opponent plays Twilight Drake into your Repentance, it will end with 1 Health.
    • Repentance, The League of ExplorersSacred Trial, LegacyMirror Entity, LegacySnipe and Mean Streets of GadgetzanPotion of Polymorph all trigger in order of play.
    • Repentance does not trigger if Sacred Trial set the minion pending destroy before it.[1] (Before Patch 7.1, it would triggere even though the minion will die anyway.)[2]
    • Repentance still triggers if Snipe mortally wounds the minion before it.[3][4] (This is probably a bug, as it saves the enemy minion from dying.)
    • Repentance still triggers if the minion is already at 1 Health, including if it is at 1 Health because it got transformed first by Mean Streets of GadgetzanPotion of Polymorph.[5]


Lore

Repentance is a paladin ability from World of Warcraft that places the enemy target in a state of meditation, incapacitating them for up to 1 min (8 seconds against players). However, any damage taken by the target will awaken them. It is an extremely useful crowd control tool, allowing the paladin to temporarily put a secondary target out of play while they focus on another. It can also be used as an interrupt, or to buy the paladin time to self-heal.

Trivia

  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Icecrown" series, for the card Conqueror Nairi.
