Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Medivh, the Guardian notes.

Example: If you have 10 mana and cast Whispers of the Old GodsForbidden Healing with Atiesh equipped, a 0-Cost minion will be summoned: despite the spell's text consumed 10 mana to boost the healing effect, the spell's mana cost was actually 0.
  • In particular, if Cho'Gall's effect is used to play a spell spending Health instead of mana, Atiesh will still summon a minion matching the spell's cost.[1]
Example: Suppose you have The League of ExplorersSummoning Stone in play, One Night in KarazhanAtiesh equipped, and a LegacyShadowflame in hand with mana cost reduced to 1 by Blackrock MountainEmperor Thaurissan. If you play Whispers of the Old GodsCho'gall and use its effect to play the Shadowflame for 1 Health, you will spend no mana but both Summoning Stone and Atiesh will summon a 1-Cost minion.[2]
  • If there is no minion matching the final mana cost of the triggering spell (for example, a 15-mana Whispers of the Old GodsDOOM! due to NaxxramasLoatheb's effect played through Whispers of the Old GodsCho'gall), no minions will be summoned but Atiesh will still lose Durability.[3]
  • If the triggering spell is countered by LegacyCounterspell, no minion will be summoned and Atiesh will not lose Durability.
  • If minions can't be summoned due to the board being full, Atiesh will not lose Durability.[4]

Lore[]

This card represents a reimagined, younger version of the archmage, when he was not only the guardian of Azeroth, but also its most eligible bachelor.

Trivia[]

  • This card marks the first time in Hearthstone's history where a character is available both as a collectible hero and a collectible minion.
  • Atiesh is notable as the first neutral weapon in Hearthstone. Medivh, the Guardian is also only the second neutral card to equip weapons, the first being Goblins vs GnomesBlingtron 3000.
  • This card's text refers to the weapon as "Atiesh, Greatstaff of the Guardian", despite the weapon card's name being simply "Atiesh". However, this may be due to a translated error.
  • The music that plays when this card is summoned is from the ending cinematic in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos when Medivh departs for the last time.
