Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Millhouse Manastorm notes.

This card's Battlecry creates a cost-modification enchantment attached to the enemy player: this means that it will not be cancelled if the enemy's hero is replaced by Ragnaros (as a result of Majordomo Executus's Deathrattle) or Lord Jaraxxus.^[1] This enchantment sets the mana cost of spell cards in the opponents's hand to 0, and wears off at the end the opponent's turn.
This card's effect follows the general rule that multiple cost modifications take effect in order of play: for additional details, see Mana cost.

Example: If Loatheb and Millhouse Manastorm are both played in a turn, their effects will happen in order: if Loatheb is played followed by Millhouse Manastorm, all enemy spells will cost 0 mana; if Millhouse Manastorm is played followed by Loatheb, all enemy spells will cost 5 mana.^[2]^[3]

Lore

"Aaalllriiiight!! Who ordered up an extra large can of whoop-ass?" Millhouse Manastorm is a gnome mage who was first encountered imprisoned in the Arcatraz wing of the Burning Crusade instance Tempest Keep. Originally, players had to ensure Millhouse's survival during the Harbinger Skyriss fight, who would then grant them the key to The Eye wing of the Keep. Years later, Millhouse was encountered as a convert to the Twilight's Hammer, and more recently he has been seen as a combatant in the Brawler's Guild.

Trivia

The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Servants of the Betrayer" series, for the card Millhouse Manastorm.

During the game's alpha, Millhouse was a 2/2 with a Battlecry that generated a MEGA-BLAST!!! card for the player; a 10 mana legendary spell which dealt 5 damage to all enemies. This is referenced by the Millhouse Manastorm boss in the tutorial, when he states "Just you wait until I have 10 mana!".

The final version of Millhouse was designed as "a card that had a lot of possibilities, a lot of open-endedness".^[4] It was not until it was released for testing that players began recounting tales of Millhouse's Battlecry leading to catastrophic defeat; Eric Dodds cited an example of a turn-1 Millhouse leading to a turn-2 Ragnaros for the opposing player, which the designers never "had any clue was going to happen".^[4]

Millhouse Manastorm's entrance music is taken from Battle for Gnomeregan.
