Envoy Rustwix

Envoy Rustwix is a legendary warlock minion card, from the Darkmoon Races mini-set.

Strategy
While Envoy Rustwix has fairly low impact on the battlefield with a very average stat line for his cost, he makes up for it with his powerful Deathrattle of shuffling 3 random Prime legendaries from the Ashes of Outland set into your deck. As with all powerful deathrattle effects, be wary of any potential Silence effects or effects that change the minion (such as Polymorph or Hex). Cards that can instantly remove Rustwix on your turn such as Plague of Flames or Sacrificial Pact can serve well to play around these effects if you suspect your opponent has one in hand.

Because Rustwix’s effect is relatively slow tempo, he is best used in a control style deck with lots of sustain through means such as Soul Fragments or Aranasi Broodmother so you can stay alive long enough to play a powerful Prime such as Solarian or Kargath. Because Envoy Rustwix is a Demon, it’s generally a good idea to run him with Felosophy and Kanrethad Ebonlocke to generate additional copies of Rustwix. Rustwix can also generate additional copies of Kanrethad Prime into your deck and create a loop where each minion creates more copies of the other. Playing a Quest as well as this potentially infinite loop can create a situation where you can draw many 0-cost Prime minions with your Hero Power.

Lore
Envoy Rustwix is unique to Hearthstone. He first appeared in the cinematic for Trial by Felfire, as one of Mecha-Jaraxxus' minions.
