Notes
To edit these notes, go to Template:Vilefin Inquisitor notes.
- As with most other cards that change your Hero Power, playing this a second time does not change your Hero Power, but does refresh it. So if you have sufficient mana, you can summon a
Silver Hand Murloc, play Vilefin Inquisitor, and then summon a second Silver Hand Murloc in the same turn.

Lore[edit | edit source]
This murloc appears to have been corrupted by the Old Gods, with tentacles in place of legs. However, unlike other corrupted minions, this minion's original form does not feature in Hearthstone. It is possible that the Vilefin Inquisitor is an abnormal murloc or was warped prior to the reawakening of the Old Gods, but this does not match the appearance of Vilefin murlocs in general in World of Warcraft.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- The Vile Fin tribe is a tribe of murlocs found in both the Tirisfal Glades and Silverpine Forest.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- This card was initially speculated to be an April Fools, due to its being revealed on March 31.[1]
- Silver Hand Murloc's name is a reference to the Silver Hand Recruits summoned by the paladin basic Hero Power
Reinforce (as well as other effects). However, they are different minions: for example, Silver Hand Murlocs do not benefit from effects like 
Warhorse Trainer. - Vilefin Inquisitor's flavor text is a reference to the principal catchphrase "Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!" from the Spanish Inquisition sketch in the British comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus.
- This catchphrase is also referenced by the flavor text of
Archbishop Benedictus.
