Notes

To edit these notes, go to Template:Lord Jaraxxus (Classic) notes.

Lord Jaraxxus, when played, transforms your hero into Lord Jaraxxus. Your current and maximum Health are set to 15, your Armor is set to 0,^[1] your Hero Power is replaced by INFERNO! (which allows you to summon a 6/6 Infernal every turn for 2 mana), your class is set to warlock, and you equip Blood Fury (a weapon with 3 Attack and 8 Durability). Note that Jaraxxus won't be able to attack immediately using Blood Fury, if the hero he replaced already attacked that turn.^[2]
The Lord Jaraxxus hero counts as a Demon for the purpose of Sacrificial Pact.
Playing Lord Jaraxxus initially summons him as a minion, before his Battlecry transforms him into a hero who then takes over from the playing hero.
- Because of this, some effects that trigger when you summon a minion will affect him, such as Mirror Entity, which will summon a 3/15 Lord Jaraxxus minion for the opponent, albeit without any special abilities.
  - However, Sword of Justice and Knife Juggler will not activate from playing Lord Jaraxxus.^[3]^[4] This is likely because both of these effects activate from the resolution of Jaraxxus' summoning, which does not occur properly due to his becoming a hero partway through the process; similar to how Counterspell will prevent a Wild Pyromancer from activating.^[5]
  - Note that any effects which are triggered will activate in the normal sequence. In most cases, this means that they will activate after Jaraxxus becomes a hero, despite being designed to affect minions. For example, a Repentance will not reduce the Health of the Jaraxxus minion, but will activate once the hero has been turned into Jaraxxus, at which point the hero's maximum Health will be reduced to 1.^[6]^[7]
- As a minion, Lord Jaraxxus cannot be played when the player's side of the battlefield is full (7 minions).^[8]
- Once Jaraxxus has successfully become a hero, he no longer counts as a minion, and cannot be targeted with effects such as Demonfire.^[9]
The Lord Jaraxxus minion can be put into play without activating its Battlecry through put into battlefield effects such as Mindgames.
Playing Lord Jaraxxus will not destroy any of the hero's own Secrets.^[10]
When Lord Jaraxxus becomes a hero, he is considered to replace the previous hero. As a result, any modifiers affecting the previous hero will not be transferred. This includes Armor and the Frozen state.^[11] However, less specific effects such as Millhouse Manastorm affect the enemy player regardless of their current hero, and will not be cancelled by playing Jaraxxus.^[12]^[13]
Any changes to Lord Jaraxxus' stats will change neither the amount of Health your hero is set to nor the weapon's stats, such as if Lord Jaraxxus was affected by hand-buff effects.
