Lore[edit | edit source]

The orcs are one of the most prolific races on Azeroth. Originally hailing from the harsh, alien world of Draenor, the orcs were once a noble shamanistic people cultivating a mighty tribal society that was centered around survival, regulating themselves through ritualized combat and personal honor. Tragically betrayed by one of their spiritual leaders and delivered into the hands of the Burning Legion, the orc clans fell deep into demonic enslavement and were led into Azeroth as an unholy vanguard of the Legion meant to destroy everything in their path.

Yet, the shamanistic tradition of the orcs managed to rekindle from the ashes, and a young shaman by the name of Thrall arose to become a living symbol of his people's true identity in their darkest hour, causing many of the orcs to rise up against their demon masters and break free from their control. Several of the orcish clans that had existed on Draenor since ancient times reemerged and were united under Thrall's guidance, and the shaman warchief led the orcs out of the Eastern Kingdoms they had been forced to invade and into the continent of Kalimdor, in order to begin a new existence for themselves and their newfound allies. There, they founded the nation of Durotar and the great city of Orgrimmar.

Today, Thrall's orcs are a redeemed people who have reclaimed their destiny from dark influences, fighting no longer for the sake of destruction but for their very right of survival in their adopted world.

Frostwolf Warlord	Free	Minion	General	Any	5	4	4	Battlecry: Gain +1/+1 for each other friendly minion on the battlefield. The Frostwolves are locked in combat with the Stormpike Expedition over control of Alterac Valley. Every attempt at peace-talks has ended with Captain Galvangar killing the mediator.
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.

Warsong Commander	Free	Minion	General	Warrior	3	2	3	Your Charge minions have +1 Attack. The Warsong clan is such drama. It's really not worth it to become a commander.
Wolfrider	Free	Minion	General	Any	3	3	1	Charge Orcish raiders ride wolves because they are well adapted to harsh environments, and because they are soft and cuddly.

Hired Gun	Common	Minion	General	Any	3	4	3	Taunt He loves his job and would do it for free! (But don't tell his boss!)
Lance Carrier	Common	Minion	General	Any	2	1	2	Battlecry: Give a friendly minion +2 Attack. Lance Carrier is an obscure entry level position in orcish armies. A mystery, since orcs don't generally use lances.
Orgrimmar Aspirant	Common	Minion	General	Warrior	3	3	3	Inspire: Give your weapon +1 Attack. "Four out of three orcs struggle with math." - Angry Zurge
Pit Fighter	Common	Minion	General	Any	5	5	6	What did the pits ever do to you?

Twilight Geomancer	Common	Minion	General	Any	2	1	4	Taunt. Battlecry: Give your C'Thun Taunt (wherever it is). "Ok C'Thun, repeat after me: 'Your mother was a hamster.'"
Alley Armorsmith	Rare	Minion	General	Warrior	5	2	7	Taunt Whenever this minion deal damage, gain that much Armor. The rent is cheap and she passes the savings onto YOU!
Bloodsail Corsair	Rare	Minion	Pirate	Any	1	1	2	Battlecry: Remove 1 Durability from your opponent's weapon. Every pirate uses the same four digits to access Automated Gold Dispensers. It's called the "Pirate's Code".

Grimestreet Informant	Rare	Minion	General		2	1	1	Battlecry: Discover a Hunter, Paladin or Warrior card. "Naw, naw. You're talkin' about Grime BOULEVARD. I ain't know nuthin' 'bout that."
Injured Blademaster	Rare	Minion	General	Any	3	4	7	Battlecry: Deal 4 damage to HIMSELF. He claims it is an old war wound, but we think he just cut himself shaving.
Dragonhatcher	Epic	Minion	General	Any	9	2	4	At the end of your turn, Recruit a Dragon. Which came first? The dragon or the dragonhatcher?
Fel Orc Soulfiend	Epic	Minion	General	Any	3	3	7	At the start of your turn, deal 2 damage to this minion. "Doc says the persistent burning sensation in my soul is probably just an ulcer."
Fight Promoter	Epic	Minion	General	Any	6	4	4	Battlecry: If you control a minion with 6 or more Health, draw two cards. "Yeah, I can get you Knuckles. No, no, he's been clean for weeks."

Grommash Hellscream	Legendary	Minion	General	Warrior	8	4	9	Charge Has +6 Attack while damaged. Grommash drank the tainted blood of Mannoroth, dooming the orcs to green skin and red eyes! Maybe not his best decision.
Hagatha the Witch	Legendary	Hero card		Shaman	8			Battlecry: Deal 3 damage to all minions. Curse-bringer, tree-twister, mother of wretched things…Hanzo main.
Malkorok	Legendary	Minion	General	Warrior	7	6	5	Battlecry: Equip a random weapon. Garrosh's best buddy. It's true. Look it up.
Rend Blackhand	Legendary	Minion	General	Any	7	8	4	Battlecry: If you're holding a Dragon, destroy a Legendary minion. Rend believes he is the True Warchief of the Horde and he keeps editing the wikipedia page for "Warchief of the Horde" to include his picture.
Scourgelord Garrosh	Legendary	Hero card		Warrior	8			Battlecry: Equip a 4/3 Shadowmourne that also damages adjacent minions. "You dare to challenge me? Come! Draw your last breath - and then, you are mine."
Skycap'n Kragg	Legendary	Minion	Pirate	Any	7	4	6	Charrrrrge Costs (1) less for each friendly Pirate. What's more boss than riding a parrot with a jawbone for a shoulderpad while wielding a giant hook-lance-thing and wearing a pirate hat? NOTHING.
Swampqueen Hagatha	Legendary	Minion	General	Shaman	7	5	5	Battlecry: Add a 5/5 Horror to your hand. Teach it two Shaman spells. Rafaam mainly enjoys working with Hagatha because she never laughs at Dr. Boom's jokes.

More Arms!	None	Spell		Priest	3			Give a minion +2/+2.
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.
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.

Crackling Doom	Free	Spell		Shaman	0			Deal 12 damage to all minions. Overload: (10)
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.
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."
Execute	Free	Spell		Warrior	2			Destroy a damaged enemy minion. It's okay, he deserved it.

Vanish	Free	Spell		Rogue	6			Return all minions to their owner's hand.
Bash	Common	Spell		Warrior	3			Deal 3 damage. Gain 3 Armor. You might think bashing doesn't take a lot of practice. It doesn't.

Defias Ringleader	Common	Minion	General	Rogue	2	2	2	Combo: Summon a 2/1 Defias Bandit. He stole the deed to town years ago, so technically the town is his. He just calls people Scrub to be mean.
Earth Shock	Common	Spell		Shaman	1			Silence a minion, then deal 1 damage to it. Earth Shock? Shouldn't it be "Azeroth Shock"?
Naturalize	Common	Spell		Druid	1			Destroy a minion. Your opponent draws 2 cards. Another one bites the dust.
Power of the Horde	Common	Spell		Any	4			Summon a random Horde Warrior.
Quick Shot	Common	Spell		Hunter	2			Deal 3 damage. If your hand is empty, draw a card. Han shot first.

Hagatha's Scheme	Rare	Spell		Shaman	5			Deal 1 damage to all minion. (Upgrades each turn!) "All shall suffer!" "But Hagatha, those are your minions..." "I said ALL!!!"
Powershot	Rare	Spell		Hunter	3			Deal 2 damage to a minion and the minions next to it. pow POW pow
Bestial Wrath	Epic	Spell		Hunter	1			Give a friendly Beast +2 Attack and Immune this turn. The seething wrath is just beneath the surface. Beneath that is wild abandon, followed by slight annoyance.
Blood Warriors	Epic	Spell		Warrior	3			Add a copy of each damaged friendly minion to your hand. They have an uneasy rivalry with the Blood Paladins.
Brawl	Epic	Spell		Warrior	5			Destroy all minions except one. (chosen randomly) Do you know the first rule of Brawl Club?
Call to Arms	Epic	Spell		Paladin	5			Recruit 3 minions that cost (2) or less. More personal than a text to arms.
Crowd Roaster	Epic	Minion	Dragon	Any	7	7	4	Battlecry: If you're holding a Dragon, deal 7 damage to an enemy minion. Every major show has an opening act to warm up the crowd.
Enter the Coliseum	Epic	Spell		Paladin	6			Destroy all minions except each player's highest Attack minion. You have to get past the vendors first. So many are lost to shopping...

Fel Reaver	Epic	Minion	Mech	Any	5	8	8	Whenever your opponent plays a card, remove the top 3 cards of your deck. So reaver. Much fel. Wow.
Goblin Prank	Epic	Spell		Hunter	2			Give a friendly minion +3/+3 and Rush. It dies at end of turn. "Ha ha! Glork looks ridiculous! ...Glork? Glork?"
Gorehowl	Epic	Weapon		Warrior	7	7	1	Attacking a minion costs 1 Attack instead of 1 Durability. Grommash Hellscream's famous axe. Somehow this ended up in Prince Malchezaar's possession. Quite the mystery!
Icicle	Epic	Spell		Mage	2			Deal 2 damage to a minion. If it's Frozen, draw a card. This may appear weak at frost glance, but it's actually a very ice spell.
To My Side!	Epic	Spell		Hunter	6			Summon an Animal Companion, or 2 if your deck has no minions. I hunt alone. Well, me and Misha. And Huffer. And Leokk.
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.
Oblivitron	Legendary	Minion	Mech	Hunter	6	3	4	Deathrattle: Summon a Mech from your hand and trigger its Deathrattle. Reduce, reuse, re-rattle!
The Caverns Below	Legendary	Spell		Rogue	1			Quest: Play five minions with the same name. Reward: Crystal Core. Why can't it ever be The Taverns Below?
