Trivia[edit | edit source]

  • This card's art depicts the "Elwynn Burglar" from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game, who in turn is a reference to the Hamburglar, a McDonald's mascot known for stealing hamburgers.
  • The word burgle is an alternative to burglarize, chiefly used in Britain, Australia and New Zealand.[4] Its use in Hearthstone in place of the term normally used in North America is likely intended to provide a more unusual character to the spell.[5][6]
