Notes
- Malorne's Deathrattle shuffles him back into the player's deck. The location of the minion card in the deck is random.
- If Malorne is affected by Feign Death, he will still be shuffled into the player's deck, despite his not having died.[1]
- Using Reincarnate on Malorne will shuffle the existing copy into the player's deck, then summon a fresh copy on the board. [2]
- If Malorne dies while possessing additional Deathrattles such as Ancestral Spirit. Explorer's Hat or Soul of the Forest, the additional Deathrattles will not activate.[3][4][5] This is because Malorne's Deathrattle triggers first, and Deathrattles cannot trigger while the attached minion is in the deck. This may be a bug.
- Despite the visual effect, Malorne is considered to have died when killed. If Malorne dies while Kel'Thuzad is in play, Malorne will be shuffled into the deck, and a fresh Malorne will then be summoned. Resurrect also works.[6]
- A hunter can obtain Malorne through Webspinner's Deathrattle or Ram Wrangler's Battlecry.
Fixed bugs
- Until Patch 4.0.0.10833 (LoE patch), if Malorne's Deathrattle triggered while you controlled Baron Rivendare, two copies would be shuffled into the player's deck.[7][8] The technical reason why this occurred is because Malorne's Deathrattle was coded the following way:
- Move the original Malorne to the Deck Zone (this is purely for animation purposes)
- Create a new Malorne Entity and shuffle it into the Deck Zone
- Move the original Malorne to the Setaside Zone
- In Patch 4.0.0.10833, Malorne's Deathrattle was changed to move the original Malorne to the Deck Zone, not to shuffle a new copy in. So now Malorne + Baron Rivendare puts only one copy of Malorne in your Deck.[9]
Strategy
Played in Ramp Druid as early as possible to bait Silence/removal or play late for a recurring lategame threat.

- Furthermore, he was one of the first living beings in the world. By the time of his death, he had become one of Azeroth's most beloved and powerful demigods, and he was renowned for his wisdom.
