- Notes
- The player's standard Hero Power is replaced by Rummage for this encounter.
- Once the player has used Rummage to receive each of the special cards listed below, using the Hero Power will instead generate a
Boom Bot each time. 
Justicar Trueheart's Battlecry has no effect on Rummage, since it affects only standard Hero Powers.- Spells that draw from an opponent's class (such as the Rogue spell Burgle) used against Rafaam will always draw
The Coin. Multiple copies can be drawn.

Strategy
Normal
Please add any available information to this section.The Strategy for this encounter focuses solely on the player's Hero Power Rummage. Its 0-mana cost makes it very effective with Coldarra Drake and even better, all the possible cards generated cost 0 mana. If you manage to obtain Coldarra Drake and Poisoned Blade somehow, (e.g. through an Unstable Portal), you can keep on playing your Hero Power until you get your weapon to have enough attack to kill Rafaam.
