Hearthstone 23: The Evil League of EVIL

[Rynjin]

Oh geez, that's right, Rexxar and Garrosh are Orcs too. I honestly forgot about that.

Rexxar is half-Orc/half-Ogre as I recall, which is why he looks so darn weird.

...almost half of the base heroes in the game are Orcs. That seems odd. Though perhaps that's just because I'm not a Warcraft fan, so I'm used to Orcs being what they are in Tolkien and D&D. Also, the rest are four humans and only one Elf, and it's one of those weird not-dark Elves, rather than a more traditional one. Also feels odd now that I've realized it. (Not the humans being so numerous, the low count of Elves, and total lack of Dwarves.)

It's because they went with pretty much the most iconic variant to each class and slightly by story relevance to my knowledge.

So there are 3 Orcs (Gul'dan, Thrall, and Garrosh), a half-Orc (Rexxar), 3 Humans (Anduin, Uther, and Jaina), and 2 elves (Malfurion and Valeera; the former Night and the latter Blood).
