Lore[edit | edit source]

"We must put this misery behind us. We must enter a new chapter! And so I say to you that, as of this day, we are no longer high elves! In honor of the blood that was shed throughout this kingdom, in honor of the sacrifices of our brothers and sisters, our parents, and our children, in honor of Anasterian... as of this day we will take the name of our royal lineage! As of this day, we are sin'dorei! For Quel'Thalas!"

— Kael'thas Sunstrider proclaims the rise of the blood elves

From Wowpedia:

The high elves, or quel'dorei ("children of noble birth" in Darnassian and "high elves" in Thalassian), are a race descended from the Highborne night elves who left Kalimdor and settled in the Eastern Kingdoms, founding Quel'Thalas.

The high elves were once a significant force on the continent, but in recent times their numbers have been dramatically reduced: almost 90% of their population was slaughtered during the Third War. Following this, 90% of the surviving high elves changed their name to "blood elves" or sin'dorei (children of the blood in Thalassian) in remembrance of their fallen brethren, and no longer consider themselves high elven.

Infamous for their magical abilities and longstanding magic addiction, the blood elves are often considered cruel and superior. Like their capital of Silvermoon City, blood elves often sport the characteristic colours of red and gold. Their eyes burn a neon green, a reminder of the demonic nature of their former power source. After the vast majority of their people were slain during the war with the Scourge, the nascent blood elves formed a bond with the Forsaken undead, lead by their own former ranger-general of Silvermoon City, Sylvanas Windrunner, and were later inducted into the Horde.

While most of the elves of Quel'Thalas took up the banner of the sin'dorei, a small portion did not. These few quel'dorei are the last of their kind, and many have since joined with the Alliance.

Grand Crusader	Epic	Minion	General	Any	6	5	5	Battlecry: Add a random Paladin card to your hand. A veteran of a number of crusades, she is a force for light and goodness. Her latest crusade is against goblin telemarketers.
Manic Soulcaster	Epic	Minion	General	Mage	3	3	4	Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Shuffle a copy into your deck. When casting a tournament, you really have to put your soul into it!

Sandbinder	Epic	Minion	General	Any	4	2	4	Battlecry: Draw an Elemental from your deck. The secret is glue.
Shadowcaster	Epic	Minion	General	Rogue	5	4	4	Battlecry: Choose a friendly minion. Add a 1/1 copy to your hand that costs (1). I mean, it's not creepy if you ASK before you steal their shadow to make a small replica of them to keep on your shelf.
Spectral Pillager	Epic	Minion	General	Rogue	6	5	5	Combo: Deal damage equal to the number of other cards you've played this turn. It turns out you CAN take it with you.
Spellbender	Epic	Minion	General	Mage	1	1	3
Validated Doomsayer	Epic	Minion	General	Any	5		7	At the start of your turn, set this minion's Attack to 7. Really feels good about himself and is in a much better place now. But… he sure does miss piloting those shredders.
Blood-Queen Lana'thel	Legendary	Minion	General	Warlock	5	1	6	Lifesteal Has +1 Attack for each card you've discarded this game. As a young blood-princess she learned the proper way for a lady to curtsy, how to address fellow members of royalty, and how to bite them.
Dollmaster Dorian	Legendary	Minion	General	Any	5	2	6	Whenever you draw a minion, summon a 1/1 copy of it. The children were puzzled by the scratches covering the insides of their toy-boxes.
Dragoncaller Alanna	Legendary	Minion	General	Mage	9	3	3	Battlecry: Summon a 5/5 Dragon for each spell you cast this game that costs (5) or more. Her secret is using a gentle voice and carrying a baggie of hotdogs.
Inkmaster Solia	Legendary	Minion	General	Mage	7	5	5	Battlecry: If your deck has no duplicates, the next spell you cast this turn costs (0). Solia marks the Kabal with intricate tattoos that grant immense power. Also it makes it harder for other gangs to recruit from their numbers. BACK OFF, GOONS.
Lynessa Sunsorrow	Legendary	Minion	General	Paladin	7	1	1	Battlecry: Cast each spell you cast on your minions this game on this one. A diet of pure magic is great for the complexion but wreaks havoc on one's mood.

Kill Command	Free	Spell		Hunter	3			Deal 3 damage. If you have a Beast, deal 5 damage instead. "Kill!", he commanded.
Mind Control	Free	Spell		Priest	10			Take control of an enemy minion. Nominated as "Spell Most Likely to Make Your Opponent Punch the Wall."
Sap	Free	Spell		Rogue	2			Return an enemy minion to your opponent's hand. Rogues love sappy movies.
Shiv	Free	Spell		Rogue	2			Deal 1 damage. Draw a card. Rogues are experts at SHIV-al-ry.
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.
Blessing of Wisdom	Common	Spell		Paladin	1			Choose a minion. Whenever it attacks, draw a card. Apparently with wisdom comes the knowledge that you should probably be attacking every turn.
Duplicate	Common	Spell		Mage	3			Secret: When a friendly minion dies, put 2 copies of it into your hand. The one time when duping cards won't get your account banned!
Eye for an Eye	Common	Spell		Paladin	1			Secret: When your hero takes damage, deal that much damage to the enemy hero. Justice sometimes takes the form of a closed fist into a soft cheek.
Repentance	Common	Spell		Paladin	1			Secret: After your opponent plays a minion, reduce its Health to 1. Repentance often comes in the moment before obliteration. Curious.
Seal of Light	Common	Spell		Paladin	2			Restore 4 Health to your hero and gain +2 Attack this turn. The walrus of Light restores EIGHT Health.
Thoughtsteal	Common	Spell		Priest	3			Copy 2 cards from your opponent's deck and put them into your hand. "What do you get when you cast Thoughtsteal on an Orc? Nothing!" - Tauren joke
Convert	Rare	Spell		Priest	2			Put a copy of an enemy minion into your hand. "Are you interested in... HEALTH benefits?!"
Counterspell	Rare	Spell		Mage	3			Secret: When your opponent casts a spell, Counter it. What's the difference between a mage playing with Counterspell and a mage who isn't? The mage who isn't is getting Pyroblasted in the face.
Headcrack	Rare	Spell		Rogue	3			Deal 2 damage to the enemy hero. Combo: Return this to your hand next turn. When all else fails, nothing beats a swift whack upside the head.
Lava Burst	Rare	Spell		Shaman	3			Deal 5 damage. Overload: (2) It's like an ocean of liquid magma in your mouth!
Resurrect	Rare	Spell		Priest	2			Summon a random friendly minion that died this game. I walked into the dungeon and noticed a slain adventurer. In his final moments, he had scrawled out a message in the dust on the wall beside him. Two words: "rez plz"
Revenge	Rare	Spell		Warrior	2			Deal 1 damage to all minions. If you have 12 or less Health, deal 3 damage instead. This is better than Arcane Explosion, so I guess warriors are finally getting revenge on mages for Mortal Strike being worse than Fireball.
Shadow Madness	Rare	Spell		Priest	4			Gain control of an enemy minion with 3 or less Attack until end of turn. You can rationalize it all you want, it's still a mean thing to do.
Crushing Walls	Epic	Spell		Hunter	7			Destroy your opponent's left and right-most minions. "It could be worse!" "It's worse."
Feign Death	Epic	Spell		Hunter	2			Trigger all Deathrattles on your minions. The hardest part about doing a "Feign Death" convincingly is learning how to make the right smell. It takes a lot of commitment.
Lay on Hands	Epic	Spell		Paladin	8			Restore 8 Health. Draw 3 cards. A grammatically awkward life saver.
Spellbender	Epic	Spell		Mage	3			Secret: When an enemy casts a spell on a minion, summon a 1/3 as the new target. While it's fun to intercept enemy lightning bolts, a spellbender much prefers to intercept opposing Marks of the Wild. It just feels meaner. And blood elves... well, they're a little mean.
Sword of Justice	Epic	Weapon		Paladin	3	1	5	After you summon a minion, give it +1/+1 and this loses 1 Durability. I dub you Sir Loin of Beef!
Fire Plume's Heart	Legendary	Spell		Warrior	1			Quest: Play 7 Taunt Minions. Reward: Sulfuras. Why does an active volcano need to be defended? To save its ash.
Gral, the Shark	Legendary	Minion	Beast	Rogue	5	2	2	Battlecry: Eat a minion in your deck and gain its stats. Deathrattle: Add it to your hand. “… We’re gonna need a bigger board.”
