Introduction

Prince Malchezaar
Where's my invite?
Medivh
Ugh, you again?

Turn 1

Prince Malchezaar
You did not invite me?! I am a prince of the Eredar!
Medivh
After last time? We're still fixing the hole in the roof!

Hero Power (Legion)

Prince Malchezaar
All dimensions, all realities are open to me!

Except this party!

 Moroes, check on the chess set. The real guests will be arriving soon.

Turn 3

Moroes
Sir, the Medivas are set up.  Barnes is rehearsing with them now.

Moroes
Have you looked outside, sir? There are raid bosses scrambling for an invitation.

Turn 5

Medivh
Balloons! Moroes, we forgot the balloons!
Moroes
Sir, balloons terrify murlocs. Remember last week?

Turn 6

Prince Malchezaar
You invited Jaraxxus? The weakling?
Medivh
Have you heard his karaoke? He's amazing!
Moroes
*Ahem* And he didn't torch the library...

Emote Response

Prince Malchezaar
Simple fool!

Victory

Medivh
Back to your home, demon!
Prince Malchezaar
I'm taking you with me!
Moroes
Well, this isn't good. This isn't good at all.

Medivh's emotes

Greetings

What are you doing here?

Well Played

A good try, demon.

Thanks

You are too kind.

Wow

Oh ho ho! That was awesome!

Oops

That was your plan?

Threaten

You never had a chance!

Sorry (unused)

Aw, that didn't work out...

Lore[edit | edit source]

Prince Malchezaar is a corrupted eredar and prince of the Burning Legion. He is encountered by Medivh during the adventure's first wing, The Prologue.

In World of Warcraft

"You face not Malchezaar alone, but the legions I command!"
Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
Prince Malchezaar is a raid boss located at the very top of Karazhan. He can be encountered after the Chess event and controls all of the trash between the Game Room and Netherspace.
Little is known about Malchezaar, except that he is a man'ari eredar, he claims to be a prince, and he is a member of the Burning Legion. It is unknown how or when he arrived at Karazhan or what his purpose there is. He apparently arrived while some agents of the Violet Eye were still alive inside Karazhan, notably Keanna. It was likely shortly before Karazhan was sealed, as the Violet Eye were aware of Keanna's death.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • During the fight, Medivh mentions that he invited  Lord Jaraxxus to Karazhan due to Jaraxxus's karaoke being "amazing". This may be a reference to MrVoletron's popular remix "You FACE Jaraxxus", which consists of many of Jaraxxus's soundbites from World of Warcraft.
  • Incidentally, Malchezaar's Hero Power works stat-identically to Jaraxxus's  INFERNO!, summoning a 6/6 Demon for 2 mana.
  • Aside from the fairly non-descript Mine Cart from The League of Explorers'  Temple Escape, this is the first adventure mission to feature a playable hero that is not available in any other game mode or adventure encounter in Hearthstone.
  • When asked whether the  Archmage's Apprentice card featured in this encounter represented a young  Khadgar, Ben Brode replied "perhaps".[1]
  • If Astral Portal summons  Wilfred Fizzlebang, his ability will work with Medivh's Hero Power. This was likely explicitly designed, as his ability doesn't work with any Tavern Brawl-exclusive Hero Powers that draw cards.
  •  Brilliance can be upgraded by  Justicar Trueheart, but the resulting Hero Power is identical. This may be an intentional workaround since the Hero Power is technically Medivh's "starting Hero Power".
