Blizzard’s card game HearthStone uses many graphics that were already seen in the WoW Trading Card Game. However, some card images are cropped at the edges – and some funny details remain hidden.
Of the fearful Yeti and the caught Swamp Crocolisk
Many images from the card game HearthStone actually tell a completely different story than what is suggested in the game. To understand what is really happening in the pictures, it is necessary to know the full graphics. Corey_T from 2p.com has made the effort to search through Blizzard’s art gallery to uncover the 10 most interesting secrets. We have a small selection here, along with some other images that are also worth mentioning.
Everyone knows and loves the Chillwind Yeti, the all-rounder with 4/5 for only 4 mana. But who would have thought that our furry friend is actually on the run and thus looks significantly less heroic?
Another card is the Swamp Crocolisk, a solid spotter with 3/6 for 5 mana. But very few know about the small detail that is hidden on the card. On its head sits a small gnome who is unknowingly reeling it in. In the game, this is hard to recognize because the resolution is too low to really see all the details. From now on, the rule for you is: What has been seen cannot be unseen! In such moments, one wishes that the cards had long animations. The green giant would surely make a nice mount…
The cheap Paladin weapon Justice of Light is probably known to every player. But wait – in the full image, a dwarf is holding the weapon. And he is not a Paladin, but a Priest.
The Squire, a summoned card of the Silver Hand Knight, is actually not such a brave hero. In the original version, he is cooking a soup, after which his original graphic is named.
Lastly, we have the Terror Corsair, who looks really threatening on his card. The truth is different: The old man is walking bent with pain and is about to be beaten up by a small gnome.
All the images shown can be viewed in the Blizzard Gallery, which contains many truly successful artworks.
