Is Azuki’s [When Destroyed] like Deathrattle in Hearthstone?

MostlyMostly. Both trigger when the unit dies to damage or a destroy effect, and both are switched off by Silence or Killing Mist’s disable. The difference is sacrifice: Hearthstone has none, while the Azuki TCG keeps it separate and [When Destroyed] doesn’t trigger.

When Destroyed in the Azuki TCG

[When Destroyed] triggers when the entity is destroyed: by combat damage, by damage from a card effect, or by a destroy effect. Sacrificing it is not destroying it (that is [When Sacrificed]), and neither is replacing it in a full row, returning it to hand or putting it on the bottom of the deck.

The same

  • Damage or a destroy effect triggers both.
  • Turning off the card’s text stops both: Silence for a Deathrattle, Killing Mist for [When Destroyed].

Different

  • Destroying your own minion in Hearthstone triggers its Deathrattle. Sacrificing an Azuki entity triggers [When Sacrificed], not [When Destroyed].
  • An Azuki entity that’s replaced in a full row is not destroyed, so nothing triggers.

Hearthstone: checked against the Hearthstone Wiki: Deathrattle. Azuki TCG: printed card text and the rules.
