That's just because of the phrase of the word "after you summon a minion" which means something very non-intuitive in Hearthstone's game engine. The same thing applies to Pyromancer being stolen by Mindgames, because Pyromancer's ability should really read "after a spell resolves" not "after it's cast".
In this case I believe that there's no such strangeness with deathrattle and the activation of an on-death secret because they're both talking about the same event in the game whereas mind control tech and knife juggler are both talking about different events.
Awesome, thanks for clearing that up :)
I am frequently thrown by the finer details of Hearthstone
I still mess up the "what health does the creature have after it loses a buff" part sometimes myself. It would be nice if the game could show you the game state after a potential action.
I suppose it depends on the situation. But sound theory crafting says: Pally plays Redemption with a Mad Scientist on the battlefield. Opponent kills Mad Scientist with another minion. Scientist dies and comes back to the battlefield with 1 health and DR procs a secret. Now if the only secret you are running is Redemption x2, he's gonna play the other Redemption. If the Pally plays a Mad Scientist w/o Redemption (and again hypothetically Redemption is the only secret), then the Mad Scientist would die, proc a Redemption summon, and the NEXT creature the pally controls that dies will trigger the Redemption. If I'm not mistaken (please feel free to correct if I am) You can't simply run a minion into another to proc the secret summon. The deathrattle yeah (which makes the new Nerubian egg so fun, with a BoK or BoM buff), but not a Redemption trigger. Hope this helps!
By Secret they mean...?
