History
Xavius was added to the Classic set in Patch 17.0.0.44222, replacing the original Illidan Stormrage card, with Illidan becoming the base hero of the Demon Hunter class. Notably, the card received some minor mechanical changes as well: it now summons 2/1 Demons instead of 2/1 Elementals, and it summons them after a card is played instead of whenever a card is played, removing a number buggy interactions that can occur with it.
Lore
Xavius, the Nightmare Lord, is the first of the satyrs.
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Lord Xavius was one of the Highborne's most powerful sorcerers and the high councilor to Queen Azshara during the time of the War of the Ancients. Since Azshara concealed her magical prowess, Xavius was considered the most powerful Highborne to whom the rest measured their skills. He was later transformed into the first satyr by Sargeras, before ultimately being transformed into the dreaded Nightmare Lord.
- He makes his first appearance in World of Warcraft as an antagonist in World of Warcraft: Legion, where he once again helps the Burning Legion—while remaining first and foremost a loyal servant of the Old Gods. Xavius serves as the main antagonist of the Val'sharah storyline, corrupting the Shaladrassil and battling his old nemesis, Malfurion, and his allies. He also serves as the final boss of the Emerald Nightmare raid, where the Nightmare Lord ultimately meets his end for the time being.
Trivia
- The initial artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Timewalkers" series, for the card Xavius.
