Flavor Text
After Illidan's downfall, Kanrethad formed the Council of the Black Harvest to study Illidan's fel magic. Some say he was... green with envy.
Well Maiev, Illadan and Lady Liandrin are also heroes and it doesn't stop them from being cards.
*Basic* Hero
Illidan is being changed to Xavius. The other two aren't basic heroes.
Illidan is no longer a card. And Maiev and Liadrin are not basic heroes.
Where is the prime version ?
Don't get me wrong I adore this card but... why in the hell isn't this gul'dan instead of a third rate warlock that's in like a handful of lore pieces
Kanrethad is essentially a superboss that all warlocks have to challenge and defeat solo in order to unlock the green felfire cosmetic for their spells, and is the former leader of the warlock class order. He has amplified versions of all the warlock player abilities, simultaneously using abilities from all three specializations (affliction, destruction, demonology).
He is one of the most powerful warlocks in the lore. Frankly this card doesn't even do him justice.
well then pardon me cause that felfire line does NOT do him justice either if that's the case cause i've done that line and really you get the idea of the foundations of the council of the black harvest with it but he does not feel like an important character when you fight him if anything he only seems like something slightly more than your typical warlock insert character
Did you do it when it was new content, or only later when you overleveled it? At the time of release it was arguably one of the most challenging pieces of content in the game, awarding a major cosmetic and feat of strength title that is no longer available.
I think it left a strong impression on people and was in fact probably an impetus for Artifact Weapons, Order Halls, and Mage Tower challenges in Legion.
At the very least he's a solid candidate for a Warlock legendary, considering how few notable named Warlocks there actually are in Warcraft outside of the leaders of the Burning Legion.
