This guy is going to be SUPER powerful. You can trigger your deathrattles or sweepers right off the bat every game! It makes it a lot easier to execute your strategy the way you want to every game. Plus, unlike some heroes, he isn't limited to a specific tribe which makes him way more flexible.

Thanks! I hadn't seen all those yet.
Always going first seems like an awesome hero power! Now it simply comes down to luck on whether the Illidan player can assemble a strong enough board to take advantage of this.
This portrait looks mo cooler than the one in Standard that Kibler was playing. Not sure why they insist on the "hunched over" look that several portraits have.
Maybe it's the 1000 win one
Probably not - it's the zoomed-in art from the current Illidan Stormrage card. though since nobody plays the card I doubt many would recognize it haha
