Collectible[edit | edit source]

Name / Desc	Rarity	Type	Subtype	Class	Cost	Atk	HP	Description
Ancestral Healing	Free	Spell		Shaman	0			Restore a minion to full Health and give it Taunt. I personally prefer some non-ancestral right-the-heck-now healing, but maybe that is just me.
Backstab	Free	Spell		Rogue	0			Deal 2 damage to an undamaged minion. It's funny how often yelling "Look over there!" gets your opponent to turn around.
Innervate	Free	Spell		Druid	0			Gain 1 Mana Crystal this turn only. Some druids still have flashbacks from strangers yelling "Innervate me!!" at them.
Moonfire	Free	Spell		Druid	0			Deal 1 damage. "Cast Moonfire, and never stop." - How to Be a Druid, Chapter 5, Section 3
Sacrificial Pact	Free	Spell		Warlock	0			Destroy a Demon. Restore 5 Health to your hero. This is the reason that Demons never really become friends with Warlocks.
Totemic Might	Free	Spell		Shaman	0			Give your Totems +2 Health. Totem-stomping is no longer recommended.
Arcane Missiles	Free	Spell		Mage	1			Deal 3 damage randomly split among all enemies. You'd think you'd be able to control your missiles a little better since you're a powerful mage and all.
Arcane Shot	Free	Spell		Hunter	1			Deal 2 damage. Magi conjured arcane arrows to sell to hunters, until hunters learned just enough magic to do it themselves. The resulting loss of jobs sent Stormwind into a minor recession.
Blessing of Might	Free	Spell		Paladin	1			Give a minion +3 Attack. "As in, you MIGHT want to get out of my way." - Toad Mackle, recently buffed.
Charge	Free	Spell		Warrior	1			Give a friendly minion Charge. It can't attack heroes this turn. "Guys! Guys! Slow down!" - some kind of non-warrior minion
Claw	Free	Spell		Druid	1			Give your hero +2 Attack this turn and 2 Armor. The claw decides who will stay and who will go.
Corruption	Free	Spell		Warlock	1			Choose an enemy minion. At the start of your turn, destroy it. It starts with stealing a pen from work, and before you know it, BOOM! Corrupted!
Deadly Poison	Free	Spell		Rogue	1			Give your weapon +2 Attack. Rogues guard the secrets to poison-making carefully, lest magi start incorporating poison into their spells. Poisonbolt? Rain of Poison? Poison Elemental? Nobody wants that.
Elven Archer	Free	Minion	General	Any	1	1	1	Battlecry: Deal 1 damage. Don't bother asking her out on a date. She'll shoot you down.
Frost Shock	Free	Spell		Shaman	1			Deal 1 damage to an enemy character and Freeze it. FROST SHOCK!
Goldshire Footman	Free	Minion	General	Any	1	1	2	Taunt If 1/2 minions are all that is defending Goldshire, you would think it would have been overrun years ago.
Grimscale Oracle	Free	Minion	Murloc	Any	1	1	1	Your other Murlocs have +1 Attack. These are the brainy murlocs. It turns out that doesn’t mean much.
Hand of Protection	Free	Spell		Paladin	1			Give a minion Divine Shield. This spell has been renamed so many times, even paladins don’t know what it should be called anymore.
Holy Smite	Free	Spell		Priest	1			Deal 2 damage. It doesn't matter how pious you are. Everyone needs a good smiting now and again.
Humility	Free	Spell		Paladin	1			Change a minion's Attack to 1. This card makes something really damp. Oh wait. That's "Humidity."
Light's Justice	Free	Weapon		Paladin	1	1	4	Prince Malchezaar was a collector of rare weapons. He'd animate them and have them dance for him.
Mind Vision	Free	Spell		Priest	1			Put a copy of a random card in your opponent's hand into your hand. I see what you did there.
Mirror Image	Free	Spell		Mage	1			Summon two 0/2 minions with Taunt. Oh hey it's Mirror Image! !egamI rorriM s'ti yeh hO
Mortal Coil	Free	Spell		Warlock	1			Deal 1 damage to a minion. If that kills it, draw a card. If your spells look like horrifying skulls, let's be honest, you should get to draw some cards.
Murloc Raider	Free	Minion	Murloc	Any	1	2	1	Mrrraggglhlhghghlgh, mrgaaag blarrghlgaahahl mrgggg glhalhah a bghhll graggmgmg Garrosh mglhlhlh mrghlhlhl!!
Northshire Cleric	Free	Minion	General	Priest	1	1	3	Whenever a minion is healed, draw a card. They help the downtrodden and distressed. Also they sell cookies.
Power Word: Shield	Free	Spell		Priest	1			Give a minion +2 Health. Draw a card. Sure the extra protection is nice, but the shield really reduces visibility.
Radiance	Free	Spell		Priest	1			Restore 5 Health to your hero. Because you're worth it!
Sinister Strike	Free	Spell		Rogue	1			Deal 3 damage to the enemy hero. There's something about this strike that just feels off. Sinister, even.
Soulfire	Free	Spell		Warlock	1			Deal 4 damage. Discard a random card. Are you lighting a soul on fire? Or burning someone with your OWN soul? This seems like an important distinction.
Stonetusk Boar	Free	Minion	Beast	Any	1	1	1	Charge This card is boaring.
Timber Wolf	Free	Minion	Beast	Hunter	1	1	1	Your other Beasts have +1 Attack. Other beasts totally dig hanging out with timber wolves.
Tracking	Free	Spell		Hunter	1			Look at the top three cards of your deck. Draw one and discard the others. For the person who just cannot decide what card to put in their deck!
Voidwalker	Free	Minion	Demon	Warlock	1	1	3	Taunt No relation to "The Voidsteppers", the popular Void-based dance troupe.
Voodoo Doctor	Free	Minion	General	Any	1	2	1	Battlecry: Restore 2 Health. Voodoo is an oft-misunderstood art. But it is art.
Whirlwind	Free	Spell		Warrior	1			Deal 1 damage to ALL minions. The way to tell seasoned warriors from novice ones: the novices yell "wheeeee" while whirlwinding.
Acidic Swamp Ooze	Free	Minion	General	Any	2	3	2	Battlecry: Destroy your opponent's weapon. Oozes love Flamenco. Don't ask.
Arcane Explosion	Free	Spell		Mage	2			Deal 1 damage to all enemy minions. This spell is much better than Arcane Implosion.
Bloodfen Raptor	Free	Minion	Beast	Any	2	3	2	"Kill 30 raptors." - Hemet Nesingwary
Bluegill Warrior	Free	Minion	Murloc	Any	2	2	1	Charge He just wants a hug. A sloppy... slimy... hug.
Cleave	Free	Spell		Warrior	2			Deal 2 damage to two random enemy minions. Hey you two…could you stand next to each other for a second…
Divine Spirit	Free	Spell		Priest	2			Double a minion's Health. Double the trouble. Double the fun!
Execute	Free	Spell		Warrior	2			Destroy a damaged enemy minion. It's okay, he deserved it.
Felstalker	Free	Minion	Demon	Warlock	2	4	3	Battlecry: Discard a random card. This puppy chews up cards instead of shoes.
Frostbolt	Free	Spell		Mage	2			Deal 3 damage to a character and Freeze it. It is customary to yell "Chill out!" or "Freeze!" or "Ice ice, baby!" when you play this card.
Frostwolf Grunt	Free	Minion	General	Any	2	2	2	Taunt Grunting is what his father did and his father before that. It's more than just a job.
Heroic Strike	Free	Spell		Warrior	2			Give your hero +4 Attack this turn. Really, if you're a hero, this is every* strike.*
Holy Light	Free	Spell		Paladin	2			Restore 6 Health. If you are often bathed in Holy Light, you should consider wearing sunscreen.
Hunter's Mark	Free	Spell		Hunter	2			Change a minion's Health to 1. Never play 'Hide and Go Seek' with a Hunter.
Kobold Geomancer	Free	Minion	General	Any	2	2	2	Spell Damage +1 In the old days, Kobolds were the finest candle merchants in the land. Then they got pushed too far...
Mark of the Wild	Free	Spell		Druid	2			Give a minion Taunt and +2/+2. (+2 Attack/+2 Health) Not to be confused with Jim of the Wild.
Murloc Tidehunter	Free	Minion	Murloc	Any	2	2	1	Battlecry: Summon a 1/1 Murloc Scout. "Death will rise, from the tides!"
Novice Engineer	Free	Minion	General	Any	2	1	1	Battlecry: Draw a card. "Half of this class will not graduate… since they'll have been turned to chickens." - Tinkmaster Overspark, teaching Gizmos 101.
River Crocolisk	Free	Minion	Beast	Any	2	2	3	Edward "Lefty" Smith tried to make luggage out of a river crocolisk once.
Rockbiter Weapon	Free	Spell		Shaman	2			Give a friendly character +3 Attack this turn. This would be real handy if your enemy is made of rock.
Sap	Free	Spell		Rogue	2			Return an enemy minion to your opponent's hand. Rogues love sappy movies.
Shadow Word: Pain	Free	Spell		Priest	2			Destroy a minion with 3 or less Attack. A step up from a spell cast by many beginning acolytes: "Shadow Word: Annoy".
Shiv	Free	Spell		Rogue	2			Deal 1 damage. Draw a card. Rogues are experts at SHIV-al-ry.
Windfury	Free	Spell		Shaman	2			Give a minion Windfury. Windfury is like Earthfury and Firefury, but more light and airy.
Animal Companion	Free	Spell		Hunter	3			Summon a random Beast Companion. You could summon Misha, Leokk, or Huffer! Huffer is more trouble than he's worth.
Arcane Intellect	Free	Spell		Mage	3			Draw 2 cards. Playing this card makes you SMARTER. And let's face it: we could all stand to be a little smarter.
Dalaran Mage	Free	Minion	General	Any	3	1	4	Spell Damage +1 You don't see a lot of Dalaran warriors.
Drain Life	Free	Spell		Warlock	3			Deal 2 damage. Restore 2 Health to your hero. "I've just sucked one year of your life away."
Fan of Knives	Free	Spell		Rogue	3			Deal 1 damage to all enemy minions. Draw a card. I wouldn't say I LOVE knives, but I'm definitely a fan.
Fiery War Axe	Free	Weapon		Warrior	3	3	2	During times of tranquility and harmony, this weapon was called by its less popular name, Chilly Peace Axe.
Flametongue Totem	Free	Minion	Totem	Shaman	3	0	3	Adjacent minions have +2 Attack. Totemsmiths like to use the rarest woods for their totems. There are even rumors of totems made of Ironbark Protectors.
Frost Nova	Free	Spell		Mage	3			Freeze all enemy minions. Hey man, that's cold. Literally and metaphorically.
Healing Touch	Free	Spell		Druid	3			Restore 8 Health. 8 Health, no waiting.

Razorfen Hunter	Free	Minion	General	Any	3	2	3	Battlecry: Summon a 1/1 Boar. Someone did mess with Tuskerr once. ONCE.
Savage Roar	Free	Spell		Druid	3			Give your characters +2 Attack this turn. What do they roar? Nobody can quite tell, but it sounds like "Elephant Macho Breeze". It's probably not that, though.
Shadow Bolt	Free	Spell		Warlock	3			Deal 4 damage to a minion. It’s a Bolt. Its made out of Shadow. What more do you need to know!
Shadow Word: Death	Free	Spell		Priest	3			Destroy a minion with an Attack of 5 or more. If you miss, it leaves a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on your target.

Hammer of Wrath	Free	Spell		Paladin	4			Deal 3 damage. Draw a card. A good paladin has many tools. Hammer of Wrath, Pliers of Vengeance, Hacksaw of Justice, etc.
Hellfire	Free	Spell		Warlock	4			Deal 3 damage to ALL characters. It's spells like these that make it hard for Warlocks to get decent help.
Hex	Free	Spell		Shaman	4			Transform a minion into a 0/1 Frog with Taunt. If you Hex a Murloc... it really isn't much of a change, is it?
Houndmaster	Free	Minion	General	Hunter	4	4	3	Battlecry: Give a friendly Beast +2/+2 and Taunt. "Who let the dogs out?" he asks. It's rhetorical.
Kor'kron Elite	Free	Minion	General	Warrior	4	4	3	Charge The Kor'kron are the elite forces of Garrosh Hellscream. Let's just say you don't want to run into these guys while wearing a blue tabard.
