Harrison Ford + Indiana Jones? Never thought much about it until I looked at the art and realized he looks an aweful lot like him. Another way for Blizzard to avoid copyright infringement but in quite a clever way. Anyone else notice that?
Almost every name, character, flavor text, expanion, area, etc. is a reference to some pop culture icon, whether it be a movie, book, play, real person, history, or anything. Blizzard has always done this with their games, and it's one of the reasons their lore is the best.

Nature is the Day. Man is the Sun. Woman is the Moon. The Stone is the Sky. The Art is the Way.
But if you didn't get Harrison Jones, I don't expect you to understand any of these ones without looking them up
Looked them up in the Hearthstone wiki, I only knew about 2 of those. Some gems in there! There are more, right?
I think that's about it for cards named after/similar to existing characters (there's C'Thun too technically). A lot of Hearthstone's pop culture references are found in the flavour texts instead.

Hearthstone names are more often a play on words rather than pop culture references. It's just the flavour text and minion quotes that you find those.

It’s possible that everyone except you has noticed that.
Thanks! Ha, I don’t have the card so I never really looked at it.
What other cards follow this naming convention (or something similar)?
Took you 5 years lol

World Of Warcraft is full of them.
World of Warcraft is full with pop culture references and a lot of them are found also in Hearthstone
you can check the wowwiki for a full list of references
Can you give us a link with all that?

C'thun is obvious ode to Cthulhu, since WoW lore is heavily based on H.P. Lovecraft stories.

lmgtfy links should be proper cause for lifetime bans from any forum. that search isn't even what the person was asking for.
