“Ragnaros, Lightlord” is a hilarious “anti-corruption” version of the classic Ragnaros card.
Blizzard still continues its (painfully) slow reveal of cards for it’s upcoming Hearthstone expansion pack: Whispers of The Old Gods, this time giving us a glimpse at two more class legendaries that are quite unique.
