Trigger Deathrattle

"Trigger Deathrattle" is an unofficial term used to refer to cards that can activate a friendly minion's Deathrattle.

While no official keyword is used to denote the ability, precisely the same text is found on five cards: Trigger a friendly minion's Deathrattle (effect)

Notes

• Activating a minion's deathrattle that involves it being shuffled into the enemy's deck, or becoming permanent will result in the minion being unusable.
