Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Rafaam and Galakrond notes.
- Each time Rafaam Invokes, Summon Galakrond also does the following:
- 1st Invoke: Summon 2 Imps.
- 2nd Invoke: Summon 2 Imps. Both are given a +1/+1 enchantment.
- 3rd Invoke: Summon 2 Imps. Both are given a +2/+2 enchantment.
- 4th Invoke: Summon 2 Imps. Both are given a +3/+3 enchantment.
- 5th Invoke: Summon 2 Imps. Both are given a +4/+4 enchantment.
- Those enchantments cannot be silenced.
- If the player manages to defeat Rafaam, Prime Evil before he Invokes enough (5) times, he is automatically Immune and raises Galakrond anyway.
- To defeat this boss, the player has to let him raise Galakrond.
- 2 Disciple of Galakronds are always in Rafaam's starting hand.
- Before Galakrond is raised, Rafaam always tries to play Invoke cards first, even if it can destroy his own board.
- Right after the moment Rafaam raises Galakrond, he equips Galakrond's Claw and immediately skips his turn, even if there are actions left to do (ordering minions to attack, attacking with weapons, spending remaining Mana Crystals).
- Normal
- Despite the word "random" in Gatling Magic's description, it actually has a special pool, consisting of only certain spells to cast. For more information, see Gatling Magic.
- Sir Finley the Valiant, Commander Elise and Dragonrider Brann are actually not in Reno's deck. They are automatically added and drawn immediately if certain conditions are met during the gameplay.
- Sir Finley the Valiant is drawn after player's turn 3 or 4.
- Commander Elise is drawn after player's turn 5, 6 or 7.
- Dragonrider Brann is drawn after Reno has transformed into Renogos for one turn.
- Wondrous Wisdomball is in player's deck as a Passive card.
- If The Amazing Reno takes lethal damage, Wondrous Wisdomball gives him Immune until the end of the opponent's turn.
- If Renogos' health is 20 or less and Rafaam & Galakrond attempts to attack him, Wondrous Wisdomball immediately summons Ysera, Unleashed, Kalecgos and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, and gives them Taunt.
- If you get and play Sky Gen'ral Kragg after receiving the Quest, his Battlecry will not activate, since the Quest was not played from your hand.

These dialogue lines exist in the game data, but never appear in the actual gameplay. Most of them also have sound files.
Commander Elise
- Reno / Renogos
- Yeah, I figured that out… eventually.
- So THAT'S your plan, eh?
After Renogos is transformed
- Rafaam
- My dragon will CRUSH your dragon! Yours has terrible teeth and an awful tan!
- Sir Finley
- A dragon! Well, that explains why he’d light his flatulence aflame!
- Elise
- No it doesn’t, Finley. It really doesn’t.
- Brann
- Reno! Er - Renogos! We've almost got 'im!
- It was once planned that Rafaam would try to destroy Dalaran. In the end, this idea was scrapped. However, the card still exists, but is never used.
- Rafaam
- Ram the city into something! Shake them up!
