Starcraft (and Diablo II) work great on Intel-based Macs. They are not universal binaries (at least, Diablo II isn't... I haven't checked in to Starcraft but I doubt it is, either) but any Intel-based Mac has more than enough horsepower to deal with the non-native code.
Warcraft II was never released in a MacOS X version. Therefore, your computer must either be able to boot into MacOS 9 or you must be able to run the Classic Environment on your computer. No late-model Mac can boot into MacOS 9 and Intel-based Macs cannot run the Classic Environment, either. Therefore, Warcraft II cannot be run on an Intel-based Mac at all. (For what it's worth, it works great in the Classic environment on any PPC-based Mac running MacOS X.)
