Shadow Word: Death

__NOTOC__
Shadow Word: Death is a priest class talent. It is automatically learned for Shadow priests.
It is a Shadow Word - a Shadow-based direct damage spell that deals instant damage, and an "execute" ability, dealing greatly increased damage on targets below 20% health. It has a drawback of dealing its full damage to the caster if it doesn't kill the enemy.
==Tips and tactics==
* Shadow Word: Death (SW:D) should only be used if one is sure the enemy will die to it, otherwise it will backfire on the caster.
* Properly timed usage of Shadow Word: Death allows one to break certain crowd control effects (such as Polymorph) with backfire damage.
==Trivia==
* Shadow Word: Death is a basic Priest spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: "If you miss, it leaves a on your target."
