They are uncraftable and cannot be crafted or disenchanted.

Previous availability

Prior Year of the Gryphon's rotation on March 30, 2021:

• Two copies of Shiv were a reward for raising a rogue to level 6.
• Two Golden copies of Shiv were a reward for raising a rogue to levels 45 and 46.

Notes

• This spell has two steps:
  • First, it damages its target, queuing and resolving triggers;
  • Then, it draws a card, queuing and resolving triggers.

Strategy

Shiv is an excellent tool for building card advantage by allowing you to draw a card when you play it, while also allowing you to remove a minion with 1 remaining Health. Due to its low mana cost, it can also be used to activate another card's Combo effect.

Trivia

• The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Servants of the Betrayer" series, for the card Gut Shot.
