Template:Provoke strategy

At 0 mana, Provoke is a flexible board clear that can essentially grant a friendly minion Rush and unlimited attacks. Thanks to Tradeable, the relative nicheness of the effect can be alleviated by cycling Provoke into your deck when the effect either is not needed or cannot be used.

This effectively works well against boards that have problematic minions behind Taunt minions or extremely high threat minions that must be removed. Alternatively, it can be used to cheaply clear a board of small minions.

It can also be used to trigger your Deathrattles in case your opponent would have the ability to transform or silence your minion. This can be also used to safely activate Frenzy, Overkill, and Honorable Kill effects.

Using Commanding Shout before casting Provoke can effectively clear the enemy board as the minion will not be able to die.

Provoke combines extremely well with Raid Boss Onyxia, dealing 8 damage to the opponent's board and still leaving up to 20 damage worth of Rush minions in play.
