Trivia[edit | edit source]
- Transfer Student is the first card to directly interact with the otherwise cosmetic Battlefield.
- This is one of the few non-Legendary minions to feature entrance music, the others being
Lowly Squire and Lance Carrier. However, Transfer Student's music is sampled from an in-game song and has a unique entry animation, akin to Legendary minions.
- Its theme is the Vulpera theme from the Battle for Azeroth expansion of World of Warcraft.
- Transfer Student has icons from other Blizzard Games on his bag: a Scholomance Academy icon, the World of Warcraft logo, a hearthstone, and a Raven Crest High School crest from Heroes of the Storm's Burning Courts skins.
- Transfer Student is the sixth card available in Play mode before the release of the expansion it belonged to.
- Transfer Student's flavor text references Oh, the Places You'll Go! by Dr. Seuss.
- Transfer Student got new unique effects for each set that came out while it was in Standard (December 2020, and all of 2021). After it rotated into Wild, all new effects will simply be "Discover a card from [the set which the battlefield came from]" for battlefields and expansions to be released.[5][6]
- Transfer Student's Darkmoon Faire effect is the only one that changes the art of the Student.
