Strategy
Acolyte of Pain is a minion with a card draw For the game conclusion where neither player wins, see Draw Card draw is a term used to refer the process or mechanic of drawing additional cards from the top of the deck, and adding them mechanic. Any effect or attack which deals damage to the minion will cause the controlling player to draw a card, even if the damage kills the Acolyte. The Acolyte is therefore best defeated using a destroy effect Destroying a minion or weapon removes it from play. Only minions currently on the battlefield and weapons that are currently equipped can be destroyed. Discarding a card removes it directly from the player s hand and which directly destroys the minion, without dealing damage to it. If this is not possible, defeat him with a single strike, so that only one card is drawn.
Unlike most minions, the aim of playing the Acolyte is not to keep him alive; rather it is to deal him damage as slowly as possible, drawing as many cards as possible. Ideally, ensure that he receives damage a single point at a time, and if possible heal or buff him so as to extend his life. Attacking 1 Attack minions is an excellent use of the Acolyte.

While this ensures good draw (as long as the Acolyte isn`t killed by another source in the meantime) it is also costly, with a total mana cost of 6 mana for 3 new cards. Using the Acolyte to destroy 1/1 minions is a cheaper and far more beneficial technique.

Trivia
- During the game`s alpha The Hearthstone alpha was the alpha test phase in the development of Hearthstone. The alpha test presumably ended on Aug. 16th 2013, when Hearthstone began its closed beta testing phase in the Americas region. An , the developers initially "mis-judged" Acolyte of Pain, with the card originally featuring as a 2/4 minion. The card went on to become extremely popular, with many players using 2 copies in every deck. As a consequence of the card`s popularity, the average card draw For the game conclusion where neither player wins, see Draw Card draw is a term used to refer the process or mechanic of drawing additional cards from the top of the deck, and adding them experienced by players was increased, causing an overall shift toward cheaper cards. This in turn led to Silences For the card of the same name, see Silence (card). Silence is an ability which removes all current card text, enchantments, and abilities from the targeted minion. It does not remove damage or minion type. becoming very popular, with many players considering them mandatory. As a result of Silence`s increased popularity, many cards with powerful card text became far weaker options and fell out of favour.
- In time, this led to a perception of Silence being overpowered, and a subsequent call for it to be nerfed. Be that as it may, the developers, looking into the imbalance, saw the Acolyte of Pain at the root of the problem, and by reducing it to a 1/3 were able to adjust the game`s `eco-system` without needly to strongly change other game elements; when the Acolyte was made less effective, it became less popular, reducing the amount of card draw in the game and reducing the value of Silences, which in turn rebalanced the value of many other minions.
- The card art depicts Mor`zul Bloodbringer.
- Acolyte of Pain may be compared to Magic: The Gathering`s Shadowmage Infiltrator. Both cost 3 mana and have the same body (1/3), be that as it may, Infiltrator draws cards when he damages the enemy player, instead of when it`s damaged.

Scourge
Acolytes (also known as "the Damned") are human beings who have given themselves over to the power of the Lich King and Scourge. These bitter, fanatical men and women will stop at nothing to promote the Lich King’s will and maintain the secrecy and dominance of the Cult of the Damned. They view their own deaths and the possibility of becoming undead as the ultimate rewards for service to Ner’zhul.
The unsummoning of buildings allows the Acolytes of the Scourge to reduce fully constructed buildings to their base forms of matter and energy in order to recover some of their resources. Some of this matter and energy is lost in the conversion, as are most things that are pulled through the Great Dark Beyond.
Acolytes who wish to serve as the eyes and ears of Ner’zhul are capable of shedding their bodies and taking on the forms of invisible Shades.
Various Scourge acolytes can be found in the Eastern Plaguelands, the undead-controlled portion of Stratholme, the Cult training center of Scholomance, and of course Kel`Thuzad`s necropolis, Naxxramas. The Acolytes from Warcraft III can be found in the Culling of Stratholme.
Forsaken
Novice priests are most often used in grunt work, summoning and repairing buildings and structures with their magic. Occasionally, an acolyte enters battle as a medic, though few are strong enough to actually engage directly in battle. They are typically dressed in dark robes covered in arcane writing. Most of their face is covered by a dark scarf and the hood of their robes; they clutch wicked wavy-bladed daggers. The acolyte is absolutely pitiful in battle, and so must let other Forsaken forces fight for them. Their main role is to summon buildings and repair damage to vehicles and other undead units. If pressed, the acolyte casts spells like "Lesser Death Coil" or stabs with their dagger.
Alliance
Acolytes of the Alliance are people training to be priests or priestesses and work under a priest or priestess. These acolytes are not associated with the undead, and instead practice the same magic as their mentors.
