Vanndar Stormpike not functioning

I had only Vanndar Stormpike, (cost 4), Savannah Hymane, (cost 6), and Alexstrasser the life binder, (cost 9) minions in my hand, plus a single hunter secret spell card.

I played Vanndar, but neither of my minions in hand became 3 mana cheaper, what, according to the card’s description, should have happened.

Only has effect on Minions on deck, also their cost is reduced by 3, no become 3

Ok, it reduces the cost of all over 4 mana cost minions by 3, I knew that, sorry if I expressed myself inaccurately.

But if as you say, the card affects only minions already on board, and not those in my hand, then what’s the actual use of it?

I mean, where is the sense of reducing the costs of those minions, which are already on board, so have already been played?

The description of the card says the following:

“If this costs less than every minion in your hand, reduce their cost by 3”

This quite evidently applies to minions in my hand, and not those already played on board.

If this conclusion is still incorrect, please change the description of the card accordingly, or else it’s confusing like hell.

That’s not what he said. It affects the minions in the DECK.

it only affect minions from your deck. minions in your hand do not get mana discounted

Unless your language has a mistranslation, that’s not what it says at all…

Legendary · Minion · Fractured in Alterac Valley · Battlecry: If this costs less than every minion in your deck, reduce their Cost by (3).

Battlecry : If this costs less than every minion in your deck, reduce their Cost by (3).

The card clearly references your deck. Your deck is the sleeve of cards on the right that you draw from at the start of your turn.

  • Your hand is not your deck
  • The field is not your deck
  • Cards discarded are not in your deck
  • Cards destroyed are not in your deck.

It doesn’t care about what’s in your hand. Either your language has a mistranslation or you’re illiterate.

Err…so let’s see if I got this right:

You say that if I play Vandarr, and none of my minions in hand cost 4 or less mana, then all 5+ cost minions in my deck, (so not in my hand), will cost 3 mana less?

A bit complicated, but if so, someone please confirm it.

And also, please make it clear in the card’s description, that while its triggering depends on the cards in my hand, its effect, aka the buff it grants, counts for minions in my deck, without those in my hand, for without this being specified, many players, especially newer ones, will get confused like hell for sure.

No, it does NOT depend on the cards in your hand. When the MINIONS in your DECK cost more then this card, the minions in your DECK get discounted by three.

It does NOT depend on the cards in your hand.

Illiterate it is then…

Learn to read then read the card. I already went over this in detail.

I don’t know of a single person who has trouble with this card other than you. Drek’thar is confusing, but Vandar is obvious.

Ok, no need for insults, I am using a screen reader, and I remembered wrong how I heard the card’s description, just double checked it again, it really says “deck”, not hand.

So I appologize for that, but then the question still remains: how can the card actually be utilized, how can I know for sure which cards I still have remained in my deck when I intend to play it?

You mean besides the obvious?

  • make a deck with no minions of 4 mana or less
  • make a deck with very few minions of 4 mana or less but make sure they are drawn out before playing Vanndar.

I have this problem also. I have a hunter quest deck. I only have 4 cards that cost 4 or more: Vanndar, Deathstalker Rexarr, Unleash the Beast, and Swarm of Locusts.

Do heroes count as minions?

Hero cards are a type of their own, and are not spells, minion, or weapons.

If you want vannadar to go off, every minion in your deck needs to cost more than 4 (not less)
