Strategy

So long as your deck contains a reasonable amount of health-restoring cards (such as Crystal Power), it shouldn't be too difficult to activate Crystal Stag's Battlecry. This card synergizes well with Lucentbark decks, thanks to the shared requirement of restoring 5 health. Being a Beast, Crystal Stag also synergizes with Beast-related cards.

The copy summoned by Crystal Stag's Battlecry is identical, so any effects that buff it in your hand or deck (such as Predatory Instincts) will be copied over as well.

Notes

• In-game, Crystal Stag's card text includes a counter informing the player how much more Health they need to restore before its Battlecry effect can trigger; for example, if the player has yet to restore any Health, "(5 left!)" will be displayed at the end of the card text.

Lore

Crystal Stag is unique to Hearthstone. Its partially crystalline appearance suggests that it hails from Crystalsong Forest, similar to Keeper Stalladris.
