Strategy

Lore
Ironbark Protectors are a type of ancient protector, giant leafy defenders of Darnassus, the night elves and the druids. In World of Warcraft, the name "Ironbark Protector" refers to a group of corrupted ancients found in Dire Maul. However, given this minion's flavor text, this card may not specifically refer to those particular ancients, but to a general type of ancient protector who also share the epiphet "Ironbark".
