Template:Fandral Staghelm notes

A leafy green visual effect highlights playable Choose One cards while Fandral is active

• When the controlling player activates a Choose One effect, as a rule, effects will be activated in the order stated on the card. However, often when the reverse order would be specifically more beneficial to the player, that order will be used instead:
  • Playing Cenarius will activate Shan'do's Lesson before activating Demigod's Favor.
  • Keeper of the Grove will Silence first and damage second.
  • Dark Wispers will buff a target minion and then summon the Wisps.
  • Fatespinner will buff all minions then deal damage to them.
  • A list of all Fandral Staghelm interactions can be found here, or in this video.
• Fandral Staghelm will cause Choose One cards with a choice of two damaging effects to deal two separate damage events. (As of Knights of the Frozen Throne, this applies to only two cards: Wrath and Starfall). Both damage events are handled independently, but no death processing occurs in between.
  • Example: Casting Starfall on an Infested Tauren with Fandral in play first deals 5 damage to the Infested Tauren, leaving it mortally wounded, but its death will only be processed (and its Deathrattle triggered) after the second damage phase. The summoned Slime is not hit by the second damage phase and survives.
  • Example: When casting Starfall with both Fandral and a Kobold Geomancer in play, the Spell Damage will apply to both damage events, making the spell deal 6 damage to the target and 3 damage to all enemy minions.
  • Example: When casting Wrath on a Silvermoon Guardian with Fandral in play, the first damage event will remove the Divine Shield and the second damage event will actually deal its 1 point of damage, leaving the Silvermoon Guardian at 2 Health.
  • Example: Casting Wrath on an Acolyte of Pain with Fandral in play causes the controlling player to draw two cards. The first damage event deals 3 damage and leaves the Acolyte mortally wounded, but its death is not resolved so it incurs one extra point of damage and draw one extra card from the second damage event.
  • Example: Casting Wrath on a Grim Patron that has been buffed to at least 5 Health causes two new Grim Patrons to spawn, since both damage events deal damage without killing the Patron.
    • The sole exception is Crystal Power, which fully resolves the damage before attempting to heal. This is likely so that the spell can still be used to destroy minions.
• Choose One cards with targeted effects will use the same target for both effects. For example, Wrath will deal both damage events to the same minion, as opposed to dealing 3 damage to one minion and 1 damage to another. Likewise, Keeper of the Grove will both Silence and deal 2 damage to the same minion.
• Choose One minions that transform minions use the highest Attack and Health values of all transformations while combining their effects. Unlike the above examples, which activate both effects to effectively double the value of the card, it's arguable that a card like Druid of the Flame, due to its wording, should combine the stats of both transformation creating a 7/7 as opposed to a 5/5. This is an additional wording issue to Transform cards that has been debated in the Hearthstone community since release.
• Fandral Staghelm will cause Choose One spells picked by Yogg-Saron, Hope's End to have their combined effect.
• Keeper Stalladris works normally while you control Fandral. The spell cast has both effects combined, and choices will be added after.
• Spells with target restrictions on one choice and no restrictions on the other can be cast normally, but if cast on an illegal target, the effects will not be combined.
  • Example When casting Crystal Power on a hero, it will deal no damage and still restore 5 Health. If cast on a minion, both effects will be combined as usual.
