Yes, I’m new to BG so be gentle. Deathrattle makes sense but the way battlecry only executes once and then is done, I have a tough time understanding why. If deathrattle can trigger each combat why can’t battlecry??
Deathrattles trigger upon death.
Battlecries trigger if the minion is played from the hand onto the field.
There are ways to trigger the battlecry of a minion which is already on the field so battlecries do not become useless once played.
You want a few higher tier cards to really make use of battlecries.
Brann Bronzebeard (tier 5) to double them, Rylak Metalhead (tier 4 beast) to trigger them in battle, Young Murk-eye (tier 6 murloc) to trigger them at the end of turn, and Dreamer’s Embrace (tier 5 tavern spell) to trigger them again
@Joachim Ty for the time to guide me into where to go get my battlecry fix. LOL Why tier 4 or 5?? Why not 2 or 3 ??
Battlecries are some of the strongest things in the game, especially if you know what you’re doing. They can create almost unlimited value. That’s why they’re so high tier
Here is a list of the Battleground minions with battlecries. There you also see the minions which interact with them.
