Very expensive board clear, but it also generates corpses which Pure Blood DK can have trouble with. Additionally this really pumps up Corpse Explosion as well. This seems really good. It's kinda like a minion-Twisting Nether with a upside and a 5/5 body + tribe. Incredible minion, and you probably will need to play this after a turn 7 Alexandros Mograine. Because lets be honest, if your running full blood DK your running Alexandros Mograine, and Soulstealer really helps with stalling until you win the game.

Every control players dream card. This puts your opponent on a timer, and while their "clock" is running down you have to outlast them with lifesteal cards and removal. This is exactly how old-school control used to work: outlasting your opponent until they died to fatigue. But now instead of fatigue its at the end of your turns. Of course this requires running only blood runes, which is a big tradeoff. And this card can feel toxic at times. Additionally it's technically 7 mana do nothing, so you probably only play this when you can afford to play it. And it allows hyper aggro to probably rush you down if your unlucky with your card draw.

But honestly, Alexandros Mograine is just a really unique wincondition and i love this card already. Cant wait to finally play a control deck that actually outlasts their opponent again. It's been sooo long.

Edit: Brann Bronzebeard might be problematic with Alexandros Mograine.

Hell. Yes. All of my Yes-es. My faith in the Blood Rune has been restored! None of that handbuffing crap: put your opponent on the clock and straight-up outlast them with your Taunts and your removal and your Lifesteal. This is the kind of character I've wanted to play for ages.

Darion, your father is so strong, I hope to see you in the expansion.

Well, THAT is a way to end the game. Morgraine is every Control players dream card lol. This is like old-school control in terms of "outlasting your opponent" but now the timer is at the end of your turns instead of fatigue. Loving full Blood DK already! (Was kinda dissapointed with the 1 & 2 cost Blood Rune DK cards, but now that dissapointment is gone.)

Ok these cards have caught my attention. The 1 and 2 x blood rune cards from earlier were quite lackluster, but now my interest has peaked

For the rest of the game.....

Alexandros damages works only when he is alive or always?

Now that is worth somethin' haha. Put your opponent on the clock while you outlast them with Lifesteal and whatnot; let's do this!

Hmm. It seems Blood DK will probably be split into 2 different archetypes: Control DK and Handbuff/midrange DK. I guess this seems decent, but handbuff Blood DK might need some help with getting corpses, so maybe they slot in a unholy rune. Especially because unholy DK has Nerubian Swarmguard and Malignant Horror, which function well with handbuffs.

Honestly this Handbuff DK seems like Handbuff Warrior 2.0, which is very dissapointing. I hope the 3 rune Blood DK cards aren't handbuff cards...

Amazing value card, and getting 1 corpse isn't that difficult. This will be included in nearly every Blood DK deck because it can probably generate some removal option, and control decks often like some value cards.

Weaker Shadow Word Death?

If the 4-atk minion is the highest one he will destroy it, so at least this card can do sth. SWD can't.

Hmm could be decent. The highest attack minion can be a good thing to remove. However sometimes your in a situation where you rather kill the smaller minion instead. Just a random example: Spitelash Siren is on board + a minion with 1 more attack. In this case you preferrably kill the Spitelash instead. And in a case like that [Hearthstone Card (Aspyxiate) Not Found] is pretty bad, while if you play against some king of midrange/control deck [Hearthstone Card (Aspyxiate) Not Found] might be a lot better. This card seems really situational. Honestly i dont know how to rate this card, this seems too situational.

Didn't even commit to the 3 durability. Lame.

 

It has lifesteal tho. It's comparable to the Paladin libram weapon, but one mana cheaper and one less durability. But Pally can reduce the cost, DK don't (yet).

5 mana after Runeforging, so basically Arcanite Reaper with lifesteal. I dont know about this card honestly. You want to draw this using Runeforging, because playing this for 6 mana feels bad. This kinda reminds me of Libram of Judgment but that "costs 1 more" but can be discounted AND has 1 more swing, and that card didnt see much play, even in libram decks. I honestly dont think this will be a good card, maybe decent but not something your excited to add into your deck. Honestly i'm kinda dissapointed considering it's the Corrupted Ashbringer.

Oh god, there's gonna be a 3B handbuff card, isn't there? That's not what I was advertised, and it's bumming me out. I'll probably end up playing it anyway, but I'm not super duper excited like I was before these reveals.

imagine if 3blood legendary ends up handbuff and not controll

Didn't even commit to the 3 durability. Lame.

Weaker Shadow Word Death? For what reason, just play Obliterate, you'll heal back the damage anyways

Probably not good enough considering that Blood DK will not be able to stack Corpses that easily, but I guess he pays for himself and that might be worth something.

Well, I guess that makes the Nerubian triplet make way more sense.

I guess Blood DK is just a WArrior ripoff then

so...

red rune = warrior

blue rune = mage

green rune = hunter/druid

??

Quote From Brandon

You spend 6 corpses for this reload or board swarm card, and you get all those corpses back after the 1/2 taunts are removed.

You do not: "Risen" minions do not provide a Corpse when they die, to prevent endless recycling. They are the exception to the whole "friendly minions leave behind a Corpse."
