Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Explosive Trap notes.
- Explosive Trap triggers on attack declaration, and will deal damage before the attack connects. If the minion is destroyed by Explosive Trap, it will not complete the attack.
- Explosive Trap triggers on the same step in the attack sequence as
Snake Trap, Freezing Trap, Misdirection, Forgetful effects, and several other Secrets. Therefore, all such effects occur in order of play.
- For example, an Explosive Trap played before Misdirection that kills the attacker would cancel Misdirection's activation. An Explosive Trap played after Misdirection would only kill the attacker (or possibly the new defender) after Misdirection had already activated, wasting the Misdirection effect.
- Unlike Misdirection and Freezing Trap, Explosive Trap will activate normally even if the attacker is neutralized by another effect before it can activate. It will deal damage to all enemies still present, which may or may not include the attacker itself.[1]
- Explosive Trap, like all other Secrets that directly deal damage, is affected by Spell Damage and Prophet Velen.
- Explosive Trap only triggers from attacks - physical combat from a minion or hero. Direct damage from sources such as Battlecries, spells and Hero Powers will not trigger this Secret.
Lore

Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Servants of the Betrayer" series, for the card Death Trap.
