This destroys any minion, not necessarily one that killed your allies. The Light feels pity for all, even for the undeserving. Of course, if they are redeemed it is better.

(Simplifying a lot, in wow, the Light is pretty much the equivalent of the cult of Christianity, with its dogmas and rules, albeit modified to fit the fantasy environment. You can watch the "Rejection of the Gift" cinematic to understand what it is. I mean. The Naaru of kinematics is the allegory of religious extremism, and in general the Naaru are creatures that, although useless for most of the time, are the manifestation of faith in the Light (we say in God and Providence) , and in fact they are also very mysterious).

Sorry for this "big explanation" but I really like the WoW lore and I like to continue it on HS, while I hate it when you take excessive liberties from that canobne, at least for what concerns the characterization of the characters (such as the skins of the baby ancient gods of BG, they are nice but they tell me nothing more or less than the originals, while cards like the DK offer a good alternative to the canon of wow - an interesting what if.

And now that I've made you regret asking me this question, probably rhetorical too, thank you! XD :qnikkoHi:

So, you only have mercy for enemies which killed your ally? :thinking:

Yeah my only thing is the minions are already dead. Healing an alive minion would be ending suffering. Dead minions are done suffering. But yeah, I get it :P

@Spacetime
As @Dustenstein explained, first I had chosen another name, then I followed Dusten's "silly advice" XD
However, in a sense, ending a minion's suffering could be understood as mercy.
But yeah, you see when I said most of the credit on this card is from @Dustenstein and @TheArcanist I wasn't kidding. TY! :)

It had a much more reasonable name before I made some goofy suggestions for that :tinyfin:

It's a reference to Mercy's "heroes never die" pre-change ult from OW haha
I guess the mercy here is reviving the minions that fell to vicious attacks form villains, granting them mercy

The name feels odd for the effect. Destroying a minion is the opposite of mercy.

"Merci for being you"
There's an ad for a kind of chocolate that uses this phrase.

A wonderful and well balanced card. I really like the effect that counts killed minions.

Redone for the fourth time, and I won't do it again, regardless of the comments. Thanks to everyone who has commented in previous versions, and I apologize to @CakeIsGood that I didn't have time to read his comment. TY all!
