Lore
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Malygos was the Leader King and Aspect of the blue dragonflight One of the five Dragon Aspects Aspect of Magic and one of the most ancient creatures living on Azeroth and the eldest of the Aspects. Norgannon, the titan master-magician and keeper of lore, granted Malygos a portion of his vast power. From then on, Malygos would be known as the Spell-weaver, the guardian of arcane magic and hidden arcanum.
- Malygos, the Aspect of Magic and leader king and aspect of the blue dragonflight, began a terrible war to purge the world of "rogue" magic users, including the Kirin Tor of Dalaran. Realizing the situation had grown out of hand,
Alexstrasza rallied the remaining dragonflights in the Wyrmrest Accord to combat Malygos' genocidal crusade. After much conflict around the Nexus, heroes entered Malygos' inner sanctum with the aid of the red dragonflight and defeated him, ending the war and depriving magic of its appointed guardian at a crucial turning point.
Malygos reappears in Descent of Dragons as 
Malygos, Aspect of Magic.
Trivia
- The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Battle of the Aspects Chaos Heroes" series, for the card Kalecgos the Spell-Weaver.
- This card's art actually depicts
Kalecgos. Due to the lack of Malygos art available at the time, the developers chose to use the image of Kalecgos to represent Malygos despite its technical inaccuracy.[1][2]
