Card imagery
- Frightened Flunky = Shaggy Rogers from Scooby-Doo
- Right Hand Man emulates the clasped-hand greeting shared between Dutch and Dillon in the film 1987 film predator, seen here
Hero dialogue
- Moon Priestess Nici shouting "moon priestess power!" at the start of battle, like how Sailor Moon shouted "moon princess power!" in her battles
Missions
- Kobolds & Catacombs is a parody of the name of the "Dungeons and Dragons" RPG, much like "Bunnies and Burrows"
Packs
- the "Cult of C'Thun" pack of cards gained during Kobolds and Catacombs is based on the "Cult of Cthulhu" RPG, just as Cthun (the primary card in the pack) is based on Cthulhu
Powers
- It's Raining Fin seems based on the song "it's raining men"
- the tavern It's Raining Mana! as well
