Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Eye for an Eye notes.

  • Eye for an Eye triggers when your hero takes damage from any source (including spells, triggered effects, Hero Powers, Battlecries and combat damage). It will not trigger if the hero does not take damage, for example if the damage is prevented by LegacyIce Block, The Grand TournamentBolf Ramshield or Immune effects.
  • Eye for an Eye, like all other Secrets that directly deal damage, is affected by Spell Damage and LegacyProphet Velen, allowing it to deal more damage than the attack which triggered it.


Lore

In World of Warcraft, Eye for an Eye is a talent available to paladins who specialize in Retribution. Similar to the spell in Hearthstone, this talent causes enemy magic attacks against the paladin to have a chance of dealing damage back.

Trivia

  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Blood of Gladiators" series, for the card Thoros the Savior.
  • Prior to the changes to LegacyAlexstrasza in Patch 1.0.0.4217 and to secrets in Patch 1.0.0.4944, it was possible for the paladin to use the two cards in combination to directly deal 15 damage to the opponent, by directing Alexstrasza's Battlecry at themselves while Eye for an Eye was active. While this still dealt 15 damage to the paladin, the resulting burst damage was formidable, and extremely effective in closing games.
