Regarding Heroes...

Alright so you're getting me on board for this whole Hearthstone game...but I have one question that's been bugging me. Lets say I want to build a Warrior deck...reasonable since I play a Warrior in WoW. Do I *HAVE* to be portrayed as Garrosh using horde cards...or is there the possibility of an Alliance counterpart to choose from? Having made something of a career putting little Hordelings to the sword and EAGERLY looking forward to the day I sheathe my blade in Garrosh...seems kind of unappealing to be using him and his cronies as any kind of an avatar. If not straight away, would opposite-faction counterparts (Varian for Warrior...Hamuul for Horde Druid...etc) be a feature that could come later down the road? In the meantime I can always build a deck around Uther because he's a boss...but my heart will always be in the Warrior.

And while we're on the subject, any consideration to someday having a "blank" hero card with default stats we can impose our WoW characters onto? So I can be Tay in both games? Food for thought I suppose.

We're working on really fleshing out and making the game extremely polished. To do that, we need to concentrate on our first 9 heroes and then expand upon the game after launch.
