Is Sun-Bacon Relaxer as nonsensical a name to WoW players as it is to non-WoW players?

Nah, it fits a couple of the Quillboar tribe names in WoW (Razormane, Thornback, Briarback, Death's Head) and then has a class/job (Necromancer, Warrior, Spearchucker). It just so happens to be using a joke tribe and joke job/class.

It's literally a Relaxer from the Sun-Bacon tribe of Quillboar, who presumably are some sort of tropical island based tribe.

Like, it's just a joke about Death's Head Necromancers and Razormane Warriors and so on and so forth with a much funnier idea for a tribe and name.

Like how one of the Orc Tribes is the Flowerpickers (in contrast to the Burning Blade and the Frostwolves and the Windsong and the Shattered Hand tribes).

Also there's a card explicitly designed to draw the Old Gods in wild that draws a 10 mana monster, you got them for free with Whispers if I remember correctly?

Beast Hunter should be best Hunter tbh, it's my favourite midrange synergy decklist.

Outside of however good the game mode actually will be, that art for Tyrande is real bad at telling like, anything about her character?

Also the Lich King art being paladin Arthas is incredibly goofy.

If the mercs are on your team whichever ability you choose will go off first, which is why it seems like the left one goes first all the time.

That’s interesting and probably could have been helpfully explained in some sort of tutorial.

In Mercenaries can someone explain Natalie Seline to me? What is Anathema and Benediction and how do I get them?

They’re her level 15 ability, they swap between the two modes every time you cast it.

Also, this is going to be a really stupid question, but which of the free legendaries is Alliance and which is Horde?

I ask because, well, I play Hearthstone but I never played WoW. Ever. I bought a copy and a 30 day time card, then gave the activation code(s) away to someone in Goonswarm who decided to win EVE.

I mean, Vanndar's battlecry seems to be the most valuable and impactful. If Drek'Thar's battlecry was "Discover and Summon 2 of them," that'd be different.

The Orc Drek'thar is Horde, the Dwarf Vanndar is Alliance.

It's funny how everything is on a 2 year cycle lol.. Everything comes back around again, the problem is the Hearthstone balance team doesn't seem to have any institutional or long term memory.

I would suggest it’s because they don’t actually have an institutional or long term team, as a possible explanation.
