Strategy
Sylvanas Windrunner is a card that can easily change a game, quickly. With her Deathrattle A Loot Hoarder displaying the Deathrattle icon Deathrattle is an ability where the stated effect occurs when the minion or weapon is destroyed. Cards with Deathrattle appear with a skull and crossbones when in play. it is very easy to make yourself very powerful and crush your opponent with their few remaining forces after Sylvanas Windrunner is dead. Furthermore, it may force your opponent to play around Sylvanas, in fear that one of their powerful minions may be taken from them. But beware, she can be useless if you are in a bad situation, as she will be targeted as soon as possible and you will probably get nothing of value for 6 mana. Without a minion to steal, she is a mere 5/5 for 6 mana.
Destroying a Sylvanas of your own is sometimes a strategy to consider. For instance, if your opponent only has one powerful minion on the board and you play Sylvanas followed by Power Overwhelming Power Overwhelming Set: Hall of Fame Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Common Cost: 1 Abilities: Destroy Tags: Triggered effect Give a friendly minion +4/+4 until end of turn. Then, it dies. Horribly.We cannot even describe on her, this is effectively a seven-mana, two-card Mind Control Mind Control Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Priest Cost: 10 Abilities: Take control Take control of an enemy minion.Nominated as "Spell Most Likely to Make Your Opponent Punch the Wall."See this card on Hearthpwn data
. This is of course usually most desirable when the opponent possesses a single highly powerful minion which the player is otherwise unable to counter. Shamans are also able to utilize her deathrattle effectively with use of cards like Ancestral Spirit Ancestral Spirit Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Rare Cost: 2 Abilities: Copy, Deathrattle, Summon Tags: Resurrection effect Give a minion "Deathrattle: Resummon this minion."It was just a flesh wound.See this card on Hearthpwn
and Reincarnate Reincarnate Set: Naxxramas Type: Spell Class: Shaman Rarity: Common Cost: 2 Abilities: Copy, Destroy, Summon Tags: Resurrection effect Destroy a minion, then return it to life with full Health.It s like birth, except you re an adult
. Another strategy involves destroying her with Shadowflame Shadowflame Set: Classic Type: Spell Class: Warlock Rarity: Rare Cost: 4 Abilities: Deal damage, Destroy Tags: Area of effect, Attack-related Destroy a friendly minion and deal its Attack damage to all enemy minions.Start with a

while with a Sylvanas on the field, this way ensuring the surviving minion will be on your side.
A less extreme (and more card efficient) alternative is to run Sylvanas into a target with the express intention of destroying her. This play usually sacrifices Sylvanas` long-term trading efficiency in exchange for immediate control of a valuable minion. It may provide the additional benefit of dealing damage to an enemy minion, but in many cases that is also the minion that will be stolen, making this more of a drawback. The ideal implementation of this strategy is to use Sylvanas to trade A trade is the loss of one or more cards in exchange for the elimination of one or more enemy cards. Most often, trading refers to minions dying in combat, but the term may be with a valuable enemy minion, before allowing her Deathrattle to gain control of another, hopefully even more valuable minion. In some cases, such as if playing against a lone Ragnaros the Firelord Ragnaros the Firelord Set: Hall of Fame Type: Minion Subtype: Elemental Rarity: Legendary Cost: 8 Attack: 8 Health: 8 Abilities: Deal damage Tags: Random, Triggered effect Can t attack. At the end of your turn, deal , it is necessary to directly trade Sylvanas for control of the enemy minion, even if that means damaging it in the process. In this case, Sylvanas can be traded for an 8/3 damaged Ragnaros.
Sylvanas is a strong addition to decks that can create 1/1 copies of her such as Shadowcaster Shadowcaster Set: Whispers of the Old Gods Type: Minion Class: Rogue Rarity: Epic Cost: 5 Attack: 4 Health: 4 Abilities: Battlecry, Copy, Generate, Modify cost Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Add a 1/1 copy to , Herald Volazj Herald Volazj Set: Whispers of the Old Gods Type: Minion Class: Priest Rarity: Legendary Cost: 6 Attack: 5 Health: 5 Abilities: Battlecry, Copy, Summon Battlecry: Summon a 1/1 copy of each of your other minions.His

, as these 1/1 copies can be destroyed easily via trading, and for some classes the user can destroy Sylvanas themselves to control an enemy minion unharmed.
Counteracting Sylvanas`s Deathrattle can be tricky, especially if your opponent plays her against you to catch you out with only one or a few good minions that her Deathrattle can hijack. Mages and Shamans can handle Sylvanas efficiently with Polymorph Polymorph Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Mage Cost: 4 Abilities: Transform Tags: Beast-generating Transform a minion into a 1/1 Sheep.There was going to be a pun in this flavor text, but it just came out or Hex Hex Set: Basic Type: Spell Class: Shaman Cost: 3 Abilities: Transform Tags: Beast-generating, Taunt-generating Transform a minion into a 0/1 Frog with Taunt.If you Hex a Murloc... it really isn t much of a change, is

makes the situation more manageable, but still leaves a substantial 5/5 on the board; in either case such cards may not always be at your disposal. In the event that Sylvanas is played and you have no ways of countering her Deathrattle, a risky but possible solution is to introduce several low-cost or low-value minions to the battlefield; since her Deathrattle targets a random minion, having more minions on your side of the board will lessen the chance that one of your stronger minions will be taken from you when Sylvanas dies.
Notes
- Sylvanas Windrunner cannot take control of a mortally wounded While most rules in Hearthstone are fairly easy to ascertain, when several effects, each with their own behaviours, are brought into conflict, things can get a little more complicated. The advanced rulebook offers a comprehensive
(0 or less Health) minion.
- If two opposing Sylvanas minions die simultaneously, their Deathrattles trigger in the order they were summoned. Thus, it it possible that one Sylvanas will steal a minion, and then the opposing Sylvanas will steal it right back.
