Death's Bite is a common Naxxramas warrior weapon card.

How to get

Two copies of regular Death's Bite are obtained by completing the warrior Class Challenge in Curse of Naxxramas.

As a Wild-format card, both regular and golden versions of Death's Bite can also be crafted for the following amounts:

Card Crafting cost Disenchanting
Death's Bite 40 5
Golden Death's Bite 400 50

Notes

  • Note that the Deathrattle will be triggered whenever the weapon is destroyed, whether this is from running out of Durability, being replaced by another weapon, or being destroyed by effects like LegacyAcidic Swamp Ooze or LegacyHarrison Jones.
  • This is the first weapon in the game to feature a Deathrattle, and also the first to deal AoE damage.

Strategy

Offering two powerful attacks and a highly versatile Deathrattle at a decent manacost, Death's Bite is a cornerstone in many Warrior decks. 4 damage is enough to destroy most early to mid-game minions outright. As a bonus the second strike is effectively 5 damage, thanks to the Deathrattle.

Death's Bite's Deathrattle can be used in the same way as LegacyWhirlwind, triggering Enrage effects and on-damage effects such as LegacyArmorsmith and LegacyFrothing Berserker. A very powerful combo is to summon LegacyGrommash Hellscream on the same turn you use up Death's Bite, allowing it to deal massive damage without warning.

Trivia

The card art depicts Troggbane, Axe of the Frostborne King.
