Notes
- Whirlwind Tempest grants any minion with Windfury Mega-Windfury, not just minions that have Windfury naturally.
Strategy
Granting two additional attacks to your Windfury minions is incredibly powerful, but is very hard to pull off. Most Windfury minions are already threatening and easy to kill, making them hard to stick on the board when Whirlwind Tempest comes into play. Because of the Tempest's restrictive cost, playing Windfury minions alongside it is also difficult.
One notable use of Whirlwind Tempest is in a two turn kill with Ravenholdt Assassin. First play Ravenholdt Assassin and cast Earthen Might on it. The following turn, cast Windfury on the Ravenholdt Assassin followed by Whirlwind Tempest. This combo does a total of 36 damage.
Trivia
- This is the first collectible minion to use Mega-Windfury. It's also the first time Mega-Windfury has been used in regular play since its introduction in Goblins vs Gnomes.
