Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Finja, the Flying Star notes.

  • Despite its ambiguous wording, this card's triggered effect puts 2 random Murloc minions from the player's deck directly into the battlefield.
  • Finja's effect will trigger once it reduces an enemy minion to 0 or less Health, even if it takes lethal damage in the combat. This takes place before the Death Creation Step for that combat.

Lore[edit | edit source]

"Members of the Jade Lotus family excel in the ancient arts of stealth, assassination, and turning murlocs into finjas. Yeah, I said finjas. Don’t give me that look. I didn’t come up with that name."[1]

Finja is unique to Hearthstone. He is the deadliest assassin in Gadgetzan, and "the guy you hire when you need the job done right with no witnesses left behind". The goods news is that he will work for fish. He is a master in the ancient art of "finjitsu", and his ability represents him picking two murlocs from the player's deck that he deems worthy of training in finjitsu.[2]

The Gadgetzan Gazette Volume 32 #9 features an advertisement for "Finjitsu International" ("For murlocs. By murlocs.") offering to teach MMA (Murloc Martial Arts) in a "judgement free and suitably moist dojo". Finja himself is not mentioned by name, though the advert instead notes that "Our instructors are experienced warleaders who teach proven real world techniques".
