Lore[]

Glinda is unique to Hearthstone. She is one of the witches that are cursing and twisting the forest, transforming the forest's creatures into creepy monsters.[1]

The ancient forest surrounding Gilneas was never entirely safe, even before it was cursed and transformed into the Witchwood, and entities like Glinda Crowskin are the reason why. For as long as anyone in Gilneas can recall, there have been tales of a sinister crone in the woods who can grant one’s fondest desire—for the modest price of a human heart.
It’s very likely that Glinda Crowskin is the mastermind behind the “Crowskin cult” that has sunk its claws into the city’s underbelly. Her deluded followers believe that Hagatha will grant them power in exchange for devotion. They break Greymane’s curfew, sneaking into the forest in the dead of night to drink strange concoctions and perform mysterious rites. More disturbing still: somehow, more of the cultists return to the city after these nightly sojourns than had snuck into the woods in the first place.[2]

Trivia[]

  • In Patch 16.0.0.37060, the Echo mechanic was changed; although it was not a card change, Glinda Crowskin was eligible for full-disenchanting refund for two weeks due to its popularity and being one of the core cards of SN1P-SN4P Warlock.
  • Glinda Crowskin is an example of "top down" card design, as the developers had a specific fantasy they wanted to capture and then expressed that through the card design. They started with the legend of Baba Yaga, a supernatural witch-like being from Slavic folklore. An earlier version of the card shuffled Glinda's heart into the player's deck when she died, allowing the player to resummon her when they drew her heart, expressing the story of an immortal witch in the woods. While it was cool to have an "infinite minion", this version of Glinda was not particularly fun from the gameplay side, and so she later shifted into being a card that makes the player's cheap minions really powerful.[1] This ability would later be introduced with Descent of DragonsWaxadred in Descent of Dragons.
