    Im fairly convinced that most if not all DK cards are adjusted so they are better than average and this card is just it. 3 mana spidertank that must be removed, and since most of what DK does will generate undead boards this card will more often than not draw at least 2 cards. And even if it doesn't, youre still curving out with a spidertank.

    Frost unholy for both the big undead boards and this card seems a very nice combo.

    Must-kill spider tank, and from what we have seen so far DK loves ressing minions which makes this a mass-card draw option. Honestly i feel like the unholy DKs will slot their last rune into frost just so they can run this card.

    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.

    With the hero power and this, DK essentially has Life Tap without the self-damage.

    That is for sure a DK's staple minion

    Could be good, but judging from experience, cards that require your minions to die while they are on the board are rarely as strong as the look.

    Feast of Souls never saw play and that thing only cost 1-mana.

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Hey look, Cult Master got an upgrade! This will see play as the 1x frost rune isn't that big of a restriction. There will be plenty of new (and old) undead minions to take advantage of so this draw engine will be good.

    Seems solid enough, given the hero power!

    Kinda puzzled why it's Frost and not Unholy. Spider Tank stats helps, but I'm not entirely sure if DK wants a Cult Master type minion.
