Known bugs

 * Even Totem often deals damage to the player's odd-attack minions. It can be either AoE or damaging a single target.

Strategy
Rehgar is obligated to use his ability, so he can fill up all seven slots with totems and be unable to play minions from his hand.

By causing this you can cause him to take damage from overdrawing.

You are also at risk by not being able to play minions you draw: even ones will get destroyed and odd ones will cause you to take damage.

It is possible to "prune" his totems (lower them from 7 to 6, so that it will be refilled at start of his turn: otherwise he can play minions) to get:
 * all evens (so you can play odd minions to attack him)
 * all odds (so you can play even minions to attack him)

Rehgar plays certain cards to change your cards' attack power for what is ideal for him if you do this though, such as changing them into a 0-attack toad he can destroy.

He can also temporarily give totems attack power using Bloodlust so armor should be shored up in expectation of this.

By giving him a full hand so he is forced to overdraw this might end up destroying Bloodlust so he can't play it.

Lore

 * '' is a shaman and one of Thrall's advisers. Before becoming Thrall's adviser, Rehgar was a successful slave master who "owned" Varian Wrynn while he was suffering from amnesia.


 * ''Following slaves' escape at Dire Maul, Rehgar realized that since his "heart was with them instead of the profit he could have made from their service", that he has had his fill of battle and the Crimson Ring. He has thus retired as a gladiatorial master and offering his services to Thrall, has been made the Warchief's trusted advisor. Rehgar and Garrosh Hellscream used to be in disagreement with each other: while Garrosh wanted to destroy the Alliance, who he considers the Horde's enemies, and take Azeroth for their own, Rehgar wanted to remain open to diplomacy with the Alliance and conserve their treaty of non-agression with.

Trivia

 * The artwork for this boss comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Blood of Gladiators" series, for the card Rehgar Earthfury.
