Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Wild Pyromancer notes.
- Wild Pyromancer's triggered effect is activated by the resolution of a spell effect, not the spell being cast, meaning it only activates after all other consequences of the spell have completed. For example, casting
Slam on a Wild Pyromancer will cause it to die before its effect can trigger. Likewise, a friendly area of effect spell such as Hellfire which destroys the Pyromancer will do so without triggering the Pyromancer's effect, since the Pyromancer is removed before the spell resolves.
- This also means that it activates after any related deaths and Deathrattles have resolved. For example if a priest with a Wild Pyromancer on the board uses Shadow Word: Death to destroy a Sylvanas Windrunner, and her Deathrattle takes control of the Wild Pyromancer, he will not trigger from the casting of the spell. This is because the Pyromancer only checks for activation after the spell and all its consequences have resolved; by which time he belongs to the other player.
- Wild Pyromancer's triggered effect counts as dealing damage for game purposes. This makes it impossible to grant the Pyromancer Stealth through Conceal, for example, because the Pyromancer will immediately follow the spell by dealing 1 AoE damage, thus removing its own Stealth.[1]
