Template:Shadowflame notes

• This spell has two steps:
  • First, it deals its area of effect damage to all enemy minions, queuing and resolving triggers in order of play;
  • Then, it marks the targeted minion as pending destroy.
• The steps should be the other way around according to the card text, so this is a bug.
• Shadowflame can target any friendly minion. In particular:
  • You can target a minion that has already attacked and is exhausted, a minion that just entered the battlefield, a minion with the "can't attack" ability (such as Ancient Watcher) or any other minion whether or not it is able to attack.
  • This spell can be used on a minion with 0 Attack, usually dealing no damage unless you have some Spell Damage bonus.
• Damage dealt by Shadowflame is considered to be dealt by the spell and not by the targeted minion. In particular:
  • Any triggered effects on the targeted minion that activate from dealing damage (such as Water Elemental or Queen of Pain) will not trigger.
  • Shadowflame's damage is increased by bonuses from Spell Damage and Prophet Velen. Notice that if a minion with Spell Damage is the target of Shadowflame, it will still contribute to the total Spell Damage bonus used to calculate Shadowflame's damage.
• Minions that will be damaged by Shadowflame are decided based on the casting player, not on the targeted minion: for example, if a Shadowflame you cast triggers an opponent's Spellbender, despite it targeting (and destroying) one of your opponent's minions, it will still deal damage to your opponent's minions, not to your minions.
