Notes[edit | edit source]
- Envoy of Lazul attempts to show three cards: one card in the opponent's hand, and two cards that are in the opponent's current deck but not in the opponent's hand.[1][2]
- For the two cards not in the opponent's hand:
- If the opponent's current deck is empty, two cards that had started in the opponent's deck will be picked instead.[2]
- If the opponent's current deck has only one card left, the same thing happens; two cards that had started in the opponent's deck will be picked instead.
- For the one card in the opponent's hand:
- The card being shown in the opponent's hand does not have to be a card that started in the opponent's deck.[3]
- For the two cards not in the opponent's hand:
- If the opponent has no cards in hand, Envoy of Lazul's Battlecry does nothing.
- If the player guesses incorrectly, the correct card will be revealed to the player. The two incorrect cards will fade out, and the correct card will fade out last.
Strategy[edit | edit source]
Envoy of Lazul is similar to Curious Glimmerroot, only this time you are guessing which card is currently in their hand, as opposed to a card that started in their deck. It is a bit tougher to use, however, as there is almost no way to tell which card is correct, and it mostly boils down to luck.
Even if your guess is not correct, you can gain some knowledge about your opponent's deck, and learn one of the cards that is currently in their hand, allowing you to plan ahead.
Quotes[edit | edit source]

- Your head isn't as empty as it looks.
- Attack
- Not the face!
Lore[edit | edit source]
Envoy of Lazul is a Merciless one currently possessing a host.
From Wowpedia:
- Merciless ones, also called zoatroids, are octopus-like cyclopean parasitic aberrations related to the Old Gods, primarily found alongside the naga forces in Vashj'ir. They are capable of attaching themselves to (and/or devouring) the heads of sapient beings in order to enslave them.
Trivia[edit | edit source]
- The host being possessed appears very similar to Erunak Stonespeaker, who was controlled by Mindbender Ghur'sha in the Throne of the Tides. However, the art doesn't actually depict Ghur'sha since it's an orange and purple merciless one while Ghur'sha is green.
