Clefthoof has hidden Rush

Clefthoof the card you summon four times with Nagrand Slam usually doesn't have card text. They're plain 3/5 that only attack immediately because of the text on the spell, not because of any card text on the Clefthoofs. However, I just discovered that when you gain control of an opponent's Clefthoof by using Silas Darkmoon it gains Rush as card text. And yes, you can also immediately attack with it, tho I didn't because I misplayed and missed lethal as this interaction came as a total surprise to me.

Haven't tested it, but I'm assuming this works with Initiation, Mind Control, and similar cards too.

Thought I let you all know in case you ever feel the need to steal your opponent's Clefthoof.

Do you mean charge or rush? Seems like if you get it via silas you should either already have lethal. I don't think a rushing 3/5 can suddenly just win you the game.

It may be that Nagrand Slam itself gives them rush/charge, since the card itself have no text. That way if you get it via silas or any other means on board then it should still retain that buff. Maybe hearthstone's code is set so that if it didn't have rush/charge on it the program simply can't make it attack face the same turn its played, who knows?

Well, I guess I should have checked the replay before posting this. Now, I'm just making myself look stupid again. When I played that Silas I was already roping and still looking for that lethal I was sure I had somehow. And in the limited time I had left, I was too confused to make the right play. Not for a single moment did I realize that it was a Wyvern instead of a Clefthoof.

I watched the replay, you really missed that lethal tho. If you attack with wyvern instead of Malicia, then Malicia could go face for 6 damage and you would close the game there.

You still have won tho. :D

Yes, I didn't get punished. Even got to 12 wins, tho the card quality of this deck was so high I would have been ashamed of myself if I didn't make it to 12.
