Strategy
A very situational card because of its high mana cost and the fact that it destroys all minions on the board, including your own. Ideally played when destroying your opponent's minions outweighs the loss of your own. Losses can also be offset by having Deathrattle minions on your side of the battlefield, such as Piloted Shredder or Harvest Golem, allowing you to recover quickly from the wipe, or even better to intentionally activate your own Nerubian Egg.
Also an excellent card to play when your opponent has a small or empty hand, immediately before playing Lord Jaraxxus. This can serve very well for buying the warlock time to build their new offensive, strongly increasing their chances of victory.
Lore
- The Twisting Nether is a dimension separate from, but intertwined with, parts of the primary material dimension. It is not to be confused with the Great Dark, though there seems to be some overlap.
- It is an ethereal dimension of chaotic magics that connected the myriad worlds of the universe, and home to an infinite number of malefic, demonic beings who sought only to destroy life and devour the energies of the living universe.
Trivia
- Twisting Nether is known for its dramatic audiovisual animation when cast.
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Wrathgate" series, for the card Void Pact.
