Template:Tainted Zealot strategy
Tainted Zealot joins Bloodmage Thalnos and Kobold Geomancer in the 2-mana Spell Damage slot. Because it has Divine Shield, Tainted Zealot must be damaged twice before it dies, as compared to the other 2-drop Spell Damage cards which only need to be hit once. This improves the chances that it survives over several turns, so its effect can be used for longer.
Tainted Zealot can be played with Defile with a 1- or 2-health minion on the board for a devastating board clear dealing at least 5 damage to all minions.
