- Easy Rider - Achieving 100 wins in Ranked Play mode or Tavern Brawl mode will grant the player a special Hearthstone card mount in Heroes of the Storm

- Other
- Orsis Guard (Heroic) references Heroes of the Storm in its attack quote.
- Captain Blackheart - this ghostly pirate appears to be the inspiration for the Captain Blackheart's Treasure Tavern Brawl. If so, he represents the first migration of a Heroes of Storm character to another Blizzard game, and certainly the first such inclusion in Hearthstone.
- Johanna - Has a skin based off Warsong Commander, featuring custom voicelines and references to the card's former popularity.
- Aldor Peacekeeper and Velen's Chosen are both referenced in Yrel's talents.
- Lightbomb is one of Anduin's Heroic abilities.
- Murky's Battle Horn is a reference to the character Murky, and is based on his "March of the Murlocs" ability which summons waves of murlocs with a conch horn.
- Chromie's Chronoecho hero power and Echo of Me in Galakrond's Awakening are based on the Echo she creates when using her "Sand Blast" ability.
