Template:The Lich King (boss) notes

• The player gets the first turn, so it's possible to steal / counter some Challenge cards.
• The Lich King can be "silenced" with Shut up, Priest, if Mind Vision copied it. The challenge card is an allusion to the "silence priest" deck utilizing many silence options.
• The Lich King has an invisible trigger responsible for creating Frostmourne at the start of turn seven. Its behavior can be interpreted as thus: "At the start of the turn when you have 7 or more mana, if your hand is not full, create Frostmourne on top of the deck and disable this trigger. Otherwise, transform the rightmost card in your hand into Frostmourne." Consequently, it is not possible to have him overdraw Frostmourne through conventional means.
• Due to a flaw in the above trigger, if it has to transform a card, the trigger will not be deactivated. If his hand was full turn 7, on turn 8 he will once again attempt to generate and draw Frostmourne properly, leading to him having two.
• Because the Frostmourne trigger is a normal start of turn effect, it is possible to prevent him from drawing the weapon if his deck is shuffled in the window between the trigger and the card draw. For example, a combination of Doomsayer, Treachery, and Weasel Tunneler can be used to shuffle a Weasel into his deck at the start of his turn, which also shuffles the sword.
• Contrary to the description, the Lich King's second Hero Power Harvest of Souls does not actually interact with the Trapped Souls on his board. Instead, Frostmourne has a trigger tied to it that destroys the weapon and replaces its controller's hero power with Remorseless Winter once all Trapped Souls are gone. This can be seen if Frostmourne is stolen with Kobold Stickyfinger; once all Trapped Souls are destroyed, Frostmourne destroys itself and gives the player Remorseless Winter while the Lich King will be stuck in his second phase, unable to play cards or take damage. This can allow you to drag the game and finish him off with Mecha'thun.
