From the Dungeon Journal:

Amid the Scourge's invasion of Azjol-Nerub, many of the kingdom's denizens tunneled underground to escape the Lich King's minions. Yet some of them dug too deep, exposing the tendrils of Yogg-Saron. Roused by this disturbance, the entity has sent one of its most ancient warriors - Herald Volazj - to cull the beleaguered nerubians and annihilate anyone foolish enough to threaten the Old God.

Trivia[]

The original design for this card was "Become a copy of your opponent." The opponent's hero, minions and cards (including both hand and deck) were copied.^[1]
This card's final effect may have its origins as a Hero Power for the original Y'Shaarj, which saw any hero whose deck included Y'Shaarj replaced at the very start of the match by Y'Shaarj itself, with 15 Health and a "crazy new Hero Power".^[2] Several different designs were tried for the Hero Power, including "Draw a card. If it’s a minion, put it into play as a 1/1."^[3]
