Because of its potential for ongoing and uncontrollable damage, this minion can serve as a soft taunt The shield-like Taunt visual effect Taunt is a minion ability which forces the opposing player to direct any melee attacks toward enemy targets with this ability. Minions with Taunt (commonly referred to as Taunts) serve in a similar fashion to Knife Juggler. Even if it only deals a few points of bonus damage, it may serve the purpose of drawing enemy removal spells or attacks, deflecting attention from other minions. Given its low cost, this minion need only deal a few points of damage to be well worth the mana.

or allowing lethal Lethal is a term used in Hearthstone to refer to damage sufficient to defeat the enemy hero, and win the game. "Having lethal" is used as a measure of imminent and unavoidable success, similar to damage, the healing of less important targets can be a worthwhile tradeoff.

Trivia
- Shadowboxer is an excellent example of the invention of a new card causing the game`s underlying mechanics to be revised. Prior to the introduction of Shadowboxer, AoE Area of effect (AoE) is the term for an effect which affects all characters of the specified type. Common targets for AoEs include all enemy minions, all minions, and all characters. AoE is defined in
healing effects healed targets one at a time, with any triggered effects activating after each healing occurred.

would heal one minion at a time, with each followed immediately by a card being drawn, before moving on to the next minion. Be that as it may, this design presented a problem for Shadowboxer`s design. The current mechanic at the time of the card`s invention meant that with Shadowboxer`s triggered effect activated after each healing, and therefore before all healing had taken place, a Circle of Healing would potentially heal the very target the Shadowboxer had just damaged, thus undoing its effects. Likely as a result of the invention of this card, the game mechanic was altered prior to the card`s addition, with the result that all single-effect healing now takes place at once, before any related triggers are activated.
