    Wow, this looks like such a interesting way to fill your board. This seems very good for Unholy DK for creating corpses, and maybe decent for Blood DK as well considering you need to run only 1 blood rune. 

    The only problem i see with this card is that you need to have some way to clear the board afterwards, because otherwise this is 3 mana do nothing. On top of that you need to be behind on board to play this, which might be akward for Unholy DK, as it's supposed to be the "board swarm"y DK archetype.

    RNG is only fun as long as there is a 50/50 chance of getting something really good or trash level of bad. If RNG always results in something good, then it's not fun.

    I would love Beast DK

    Maybe Nerubian DK?

    Not sure about a card that requires your opponent to be ahead to be useful, but he looks funny and I like him

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Now this is a unique mind trick of an effect. You just better hope you have a taunt up for your opponent to ram their minions into so they can spawn more taunts for you 😅.... It'll happen...

    That's an interesting design. Unfortunately, all I can see - or hear - is the Trollden's saxophone starting to play as your opponents gets to win-more!

    Its potentially Spreading Plague, except a little slower and weaker. But cheaper as well.

    But I dont like its chances. Very rarely are cards like these, that depend on your opponent's board, be good. Even worse still when it needs a follow up to do anything at all.

    With Dk's Freeze effects this might stand a chance. It may give you enough time to freeze and infect enemies to give you enough time to the get the deathrattles with some AOE or big taunt.  Might be too slow still but I think it has a chance.

    I mean the opponent is likely to be ahead some point in the match

    and DK has a lot of cards that summon minions so it would be a good card against other deathknights.

    This seems good. You play this, then if you clear their board, you get a board of your own. Hopefully with some buff opportunities because 2/2s are kind of weak.

    Blightfang into Blood Boil on a board of small stuff would be a sick swing turn.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Who knows what will happen on the release, but this looks like a wonderful way to deal with the plague of Druid tokens before they vampire you with Sire

    If you're any board-focused deck like Token Druid or Implock, you are praying this card never shows up, because it just turns your strengths against you. At only One Unholy, it's not unlikely that Frost or Blood DKs might dip their fingers to pair with their own board clears.

    Could be a nice tool against aggro!
