- An equipped
Poisoned Blade specifically modifies this Hero Power, preventing it from equipping a Wicked Knife: instead, Poisoned Blade will trigger in the subsequent Inspire Phase granting +1 Attack to itself. - If a player has this Hero Power, Justicar Trueheart's Battlecry will replace it with Poisoned Daggers, which equips a 2/2 Poisoned Dagger instead of a 1/2 Wicked Knife.
Trivia
- Until mid-2013, players with a weapon already equipped could choose to instead use Dagger Mastery to give the weapon +1 Attack - permanently. It became a common strategy to equip a Wicked Knife or other weapon, then use Dagger Mastery to slowly increase its damage turn by turn. Once an Attack of 7 or so was reached, the player could use the since removed card Envenom to increase it to 14 Attack, then a second Envenom to increase it to 28, by which point the rogue could simply one-shot the enemy hero. Ben Brode describes this version as "the most powerful Hero Power in the game by a wide margin" and "the most frustrating thing possible",[1] on one occasion causing a team member to rip their mouse from their computer and throw it against the wall.[2]
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Scourgewar" series, for the card Putrefying Poison.
