- 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.
