Solemn Vigil is a common paladin spell card, from the Blackrock Mountain set.
How to get
Two copies of regular Solemn Vigil are obtained by completing the paladin Class Challenge in Blackrock Mountain, unlocked upon completing the Hidden Laboratory wing.
As a Wild-format card, both regular and golden versions of Solemn Vigil can also be crafted for the following amounts:
| Card | Crafting cost | Disenchanting |
|---|---|---|
| Solemn Vigil | 40 | 5 |
| Golden Solemn Vigil | 400 | 50 |
Notes
- The mana cost of this card is reduced by 1 for each minion that has already died during the current turn (including minions killed during the 'start of turn' phase by effects such as
Doomsayer). - The mana cost of this card cannot be reduced below 0. However, further cost-reductions can help in countering cost-increasing effects like
Loatheb. - This card has an in-hand effect: it modifies its own mana cost only while in the player's hand, and not while the card is anywhere else.
Strategy
With 2 minions having died the same turn, this is equal to a mage's Arcane Intellect. Especially good after using the popular Equality + Consecration combo, or any other board clear.
Trivia
- This card's flavor text refers to a common practice of griefing in Blackrock Mountain in World of Warcraft. Priests would cause other players to commit suicide by using
Mind Control to make them jump into the lava. - The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "The Hunt for Illidan" series, for the card Divine Plea.
