Choose One cards

Notes

• As shown above, despite the card's ambiguous wording, both Choose One options are limited to targeting minions.
• Wrath's second option has two steps, carried out in the following order:
  • First, it deals 1 damage, queuing and resolving triggers.
  • Then, it draws a card, queuing and resolving triggers.
• When combined by Fandral Staghelm, Wrath has three steps that are carried out in the following order:
  • First, it deals 3 damage, queuing and resolving triggers;
  • Then it deals 1 damage, queuing and resolving triggers;
  • Then, it draws a card, queuing and resolving triggers.

Fixed bugs

Prior to Patch 7.1, Wrath drew a card before dealing 1 damage, in contradiction to the card text.

Strategy

Wrath is a versatile removal spell. For 2 mana, dealing a flat 3 damage is already useful on par with several other class-specific cards. But the Druid can also choose to deal only 1 damage in exchange for drawing a card. This can allow the player to cycle through the deck faster, and makes Wrath a good draw even in the late-game.

Lore

Wrath is a druid spell from World of Warcraft. It is a simple single-target cast-time damage spell, and is the first spell learned by druids. At higher levels it is mostly used by Balance druids, who can use it to generate Astral Power.

Trivia

• The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Crown of the Heavens" series, for the card Muln Earthfury.
• Despite the card being a Druid spell, the card art depicts Muln Earthfury, a Shaman of the Earthen Ring.
