Trivia

 * If the player attempts to Polymorph their own hero, the "Save that for the enemy!" dialogue box pops up, rather than the "That's not a valid target" error message.
 * Illidan's Warglaive of Azzinoth is totally different then The Demon Hunter weapon. Also noteworthy is that he and his cards are not Demon Hunter cards, but Boss cards, Mage cards, and Neutral cards.
