Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Cobalt Guardian notes.
- Cobalt Guardian does not have Divine Shield when summoned: it gains Divine Shield only if and when another friendly Mech is subsequently summoned. In particular:
- This minion's triggered effect gives Divine Shield to the Cobalt Guardian, not to other minions.
- Cobalt Guardian triggers whenever a friendly Mech is summoned by any means, including being played from the hand or summoned by summon effects such as
Harvest Golem's Deathrattle.[1]
- Cobalt Guardian triggers immediately after the minion is summoned, prior to other triggers like Questing Adventurer or
Undertaker.[2]

Lore
The only known Cobalt Guardian in Warcraft history is one of the four Stone Guard, enchanted stone quilen beasts that guard the entrance to the Mogu'shan Vaults. However, this is clearly a very different guardian to the one depicted in this card.
Trivia
- The death quote of this minion references Error 37, a common launch day error in Diablo III. This error meant that the servers were busy. Due to Diablo III requiring a connection to the servers in order to play either Singleplayer or Multiplayer, the error became a meme among players.
