!United in Stormwind
* Elwynn Boar is a unique case in that it's technically both a ShoutOut ''and'' a MythologyGag, since it's a reference to the iconic ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' episode [[Recap/SouthParkS10E8MakeLoveNotWarcraft "Make Love, Not Warcraft"]], which Blizzard helped create. The minion itself is what the boys continually killed to grind for XP, and having 7 copies of Elwynn Boar die, thereby successfully activating its Deathrattle, rewards you with the one and only Sword of a Thousand Truths. The requirement is, ''mercifully'', significantly lower than Cartman's grinding estimates, as the card's flavor text notes:
--> Be thankful we lowered the requirement from 65,340,285.
