Shifter Zerus Detalailed Explanation

Most things that happen in battlegrounds take from a shared pool of minions that everyone has access to. When the pool has less minions in it then it is harder to find.

For example Tavern tier 6 minions have only 6 copies each in the shared pool.

Shifter Zerus is the exception to this. When you play him from your hand you are effectively adding 1 more minion to the pool. So if you played him as Mama Bear there would now be 7 copies of Mama bear total available. (after you die that Mama Bear goes back to the shared pool of 7).

Shifter Zerus has an equal chance of transforming into any minion, without regard to the current pool or tavern tier of that minion.

I answered this question wrong once in the past so wanted to clarify.

edit: oops spelled the title wrong, :)

    Actually I'd appreciate it if you could clarify this a little further. Are you saying that discovering cards does indeed pull them from the shared pool, or that discovered cards are unique copies like Zerus that will increase the number of that specific minion in the pool once sold?

    Discover uses the pool to determine what it shows you.

    Discover pulls from the pool.

    Only shifter adds to the pool and breaks the pool rules.

    Untelated but I hope you might still answer this as I dont use Twitter:

    Is it random which player attacks first if both players have the same amount of minions or is there a rule like the first spot minion with higher attack goes first?

    It random.

    Does discover pull from the shared pool or is it unique copies like zerus? Hypothetically if all players started hoarding the murlocs could primal fin have less than three discover options?

    Yes
