Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Vesh, Plague Lord of Murlocs notes.

  • As a Plague Lord boss:
    • If the player loses against a Plague Lord, its current Health will be its new maximum Health should the player encounter it again.
    • The number of turns is unlimited in this encounter.
    • Plague Lord's Hero Power and deck depend on their current Health.
      • If it is between 201-300, it uses Phase 1's Hero Power and deck.
      • If it is between 101-200, it uses Phase 2's.
      • If it is below 100, it uses Phase 3's.
      • During the phase change, the Plague Lord will draw extra cards. Their deck is also completely replaced by a new one. Only  Surprise! Murlocs! stay in its deck.
      • The number of  Surprise! Murlocs! in Vesh's new deck depends on how much Plague Lord has drawn these spells in a previous phase. For example, if three  Surprise! Murlocs! were drawn at Phase 1, then the Phase 2 deck will contain 13  Surprise! Murlocs!.
      • If its Health is "set" by  Flex-plosion, its Hero Power and deck stay the same until it is damaged by any means.
      • If a phase change occurs while drawing  Corrupted Blood (from  Hakkar, the Soulflayer), then the whole deck will still be replaced in the very moment the life of the Plague Lord drops below 100/200, but for each  Corrupted Blood drawn until that point, 2 copies will be placed into the new deck. Hence any strategy of killing a Plague Lord involving  Hakkar, the Soulflayer should try to maximize the number of Corrupted Bloods the Plague Lord draws that turn. Example: If a Plague Lord has only bloods in his deck, but starts his turn with 102 health, then one blood is drawn, then the deck is replaced, the hand is refilled and finally 2 new bloods will be placed into the remaining deck. If the Plague Lord has say 16 bloods and 120 health at the start of his turn, then he will draw 7 of the 16 bloods, shift to the new phase, replace his deck, refill his hand and finally 14 new bloods are placed into the remaining deck.
  •  "Gnomebliterator" sets Vesh's health decreased instead of dealing damage if he is Immuned by  Made of Murlocs.
  • Vesh's Ashes Anew (Heroic) sometimes prefers to target his friendly Murloc even if there's a Murloc on the player's side with better stats.
  • Once used, Mur-nado (Heroic)'s base cost will be increased by 1 and reset the reduction effect

No matter. There are many more of us.
We are more than the sum of our scales.

A vulgar display of power is required.
From stone we rise.
Our stone will grind your bones.
The tide marches on...

Our powers are unbound, your end is nigh.
With wind and claw, we shall grind you to bits!
Reno Jackson
Is that... a Murloc-nado...? That is the scariest thing I have ever seen.

There are approximately 3,482 of us, if you were wondering.
Too scared to strike us?
We are ever-shifting. Ever-consuming.
We are more than a fish. We are more than a man.
We will consume all that lives.
What hope do you have against the plagues themselves?
You are fortunate we are first. We will grant you a quick demise.

With the tide, comes extinction.

Lore[edit | edit source]

Vesh is unique to Hearthstone. It is an entity with a body made entirely out of murlocs, bound together by mummy wraps. It refers to itself with the pronoun "we", as Vesh is not an individual being, but rather the minds of many different murlocs assimilated into a single, horrifying monster. This is likely as murloc decks tend to swarm the field with murlocs. Vesh is the embodiment of the  Plague of Murlocs.
