Cho'gall

Cho'gall is a legendary warlock minion card, from the Whispers of the Old Gods set.

Strategy
While Cho'gall's Battlecry is powerful on paper, he's held back by the limited selection of synergistic Warlock spells. Their single-target removal is rather low-powered and their board clear will damage your side of the board as well. Not to mention it will put a dent to the Warlock's Health pool, which they need to conserve.

The most useful Warlock spells to use with Cho'gall are Shadowflame for a devastating board clear that doesn't hurt your own board, Dark Bargain, Siphon Soul, or Blastcrystal Potion for hard removal, or Kara Kazham! to build your own board.

With Mean Streets of Gadgetzan, Cho'gall has more opportunities to be useful. Getting a good Mage spell out of a Kabal Courier can be game changer and even the few potions from a Kabal Chemist can be situationally effective: for example, using Dragonfire Potion instead of Felfire Potion if you want to wipe the board but also conserve your Health. Kazakus Potions are also very powerful, and while the 10-Mana potions will bring you a third of the way to death, it doesn't matter if you can play Reno Jackson the next turn.

Cho is the name of the ogre's two-eyed right head (shown on the left), while Gall is the name of the one-eyed left head (shown on the right). Each speaks with its own voice and indeed has its own personality, the two at times even clashing over the actions to be taken by their one, shared body. Cho is generally held to be the primary personality, with Gall's in-game quotes often displayed in parentheses following Cho's lines; Gall often responds to Cho's quotes rather than speaking for himself. While Cho's voice is deep and powerful, Gall's is higher-pitched and more maniacal.

In Heroes of the Storm Cho has control over the ogre's massive body, while Gall is powerless but to be carried wherever Cho goes. While Cho therefore controls the body's brutish strength, Gall commands the majority of the pair's warlock powers.

Trivia

 * While in Hearthstone, Cho is the one to say "To his will all flesh succumbs" and "Infinite night!" with Gall saying "What he said", this is actually a reversed version of the way the lines were spoken in the ; during the WoW encounter, Gall is the one to utter "To His will all flesh succumbs. From His kingdom, chaos comes!" as well as "Gone is the dawn! Come shades of Twilight. Come madness. Come havoc! Come Infinite Night!!", while Cho is the one to parrot the former line with "Yes - what he said."

Patch changes

 * If your hero is Immune you can now cast a spell using Cho'gall's effect regardless of your Health+Armor total. Previously, even if you were Immune, you had to have a combined Health and Armor total greater than the final mana cost of a spell in order to be allowed to cast it using Cho'gall's effect.
