Crossovers, references, and nods between games is something of a staple at Blizzard. Hearthstone, set in the World of Warcraft universe (as in-game fiction, an alternative afterlife, or just a bad trip?), hardly needs any excuse to feature a crossover event. Currently Hearthstone is offering a
Shadowlands bundle
featuring Covenant inspired hero skins for Uther, Malfurion, Gul'dan, and Illidan. They aren't all dead yet, but this seems to take the guesswork about where 3 of these 4 end up. Of course we already know that Uther went to the Kyrians. We don't usually dive in to Hearthstone additions, but in this case the art was just too pretty to pass up.
Ascended Uther
Winter Fury Malfurion
House of Rituals Gul'dan
Ember Court Illidan

Winter King Malfurion is funny, but just genderswapping the Winter Queen feels kind of lazy compared to the others. Ignoring Purple Uther since he's actually canon, Gul'dan and Illidan don't resemble any of the established characters in Shadowlands, which makes them unique in design. Even if it's just giving Illidan a shirt, it still makes him stand out much more than his blue brother. Now, if they made Malfurion into a Drust variant, that would've been absurdly cool.
It's Winter Fury Malfurion, so he is not replacing the Winter Queen, just representing the Covenant.
