Wilted Shadow Mechanics

Why does Wilted Shadow attack enemies that are at full health before being healed? The card reads “Whenever you heal an enemy, this attacks it.” If I remember correctly, “heal” usually means that they have to be damaged first for card text to work. Northshire Cleric won’t draw a card if you heal a minion that’s already at full health. Wilted Shadow not working the same way completely removes a form of counterplay that could be available to stop your opponent from otk’ing you.

Upvote, doesn’t make sense for the minion to attack before the character gets healed.

There are a bunch of cards in the last few years that don’t work like you’d expect based on long ago precedents. That doesn’t mean they aren’t working as designed.

Maybe there should be detailed documentation to explain mechanics, but it isn’t going to change the intent.

Bummer dude if you really read the text of northshire Cleric
It says “whenever a minion is HEALED draw a card”
Wilted shadow says “whenever you HEAL an enemy this attacks it”

Grammer is very important here, these say two different things
