Description

Rebirth
After this minion attacks or counterattacks, turn it into an Egg.

Interactions

Raptyr has some very quirky (bugged?) interactions:

• When destroyed outside of combat, Raptyr behaves like a normal Rebirth minion.
• When Raptyr is the one attacking, then it never dies (even if the counterattack would be for a lethal amount of damage!) and instead always transforms into an egg. In particular, any kind of on-death effect will not trigger. This makes it a good choice for a Keeper of the Vale deck because most of the time Raptyr won't pollute Keeper's card pool.
• The tricky case: If Raptyr is attacked for a lethal amount of damage and successfully counterattacks, then it appears as though it first dies, but then transforms into an egg.
  • So on-death effects will occur, for example:

1. Deathwatch effects trigger
2. Capricious Marauder will change control
3. Oblivion Sickle counts it as being destroyed
4. Infest triggers
5. Wraithlings summoned by Necrotic Sphere or Dark Transformation

• • However, since the egg comes from transformation, on-summon effects won't occur:

1. The Raptyr egg will always appear and won't be overwritten by Spinecleaver, Gibbet, Rage Reactor, White Asp etc.
2. Dreadnought will not buff the egg
3. Venom Toth and Crimson Oculus will not trigger
