New Paladin card revealed: Avenge

A new Paladin secret card has been revealed. "Avenge" is coming with Curse of Naxxramas this summer.

As every Paladin secret, Avenge costs one mana and reads that "When one of your minion dies, give a friendly minion +3/+2".

The wording leaves some room for interpretation as to how the secret will be triggered. Since your secrets can no longer be activated in your turn, i.e. it will be impossible to kill your own minion, buff another and then attack, this might be the first ever Hearthstone card to allow action in the opponent's turn (i.e. it triggers, you allocate the buff, the opponent continues playing after that).

An alternative, of course, is that Avenge buffs a friendly minion at random (which would make more sense considering how Hearthstone is built), but the wording of other cards with similar effect (e.g. [card]Sylvanas Windrunner[/card]) specifically state the volatility of the card.
