Gaining corpses with unholy DK is easy and this attack buff is a great finisher. This is kinda like a Bloodlust, so i think this will make a aggro SMOrc unholy DK viable. The only downside i can see is that you cant run a frost rune for more draw, but i feel like no-rune DK cards like Acolyte of Death will suffice.
The Acolyte has a Frost Rune :P Perhaps you were thinking of Chillfallen Baron?
You might be right for some, might not be for another but if you really think bringing a political opinion about Twitter on how you associate this stuff with Elon Musk's acquisition is a good idea, you are wrong. It is worse than what you think is worse which is the joke that blizzard made in this case. Reading that comment as an opener even spoils the enjoyment completely from beginning. It gives a bitter taste from the get-go.
We saw from Avalon's comment how revealed cards are a red line for your team but it seems it wasn't for blizzard (which obviously was a joke, even for a new comer.) so you can't get angry for a company for not having same red lines as your business model.
I mean, I know everything is connected to each other; games, politics, etc. but it is not a good move when you politically judge something in a website which isn't the topic here. I don't care about Twitter and I don't want to learn your political arguments about twitter and how you relate it with Hearthstone here. If i wanted some political approach, it wouldn't be this site to visit. I guess you understand what i meant here.
And also, it doesn't prove that blizzard also thinks that they were wrong by deleting those tweets tbh. That move proves anything at all. Even if they got bad feedback and deleted tweets, it wouldn't prove anything again.
I got your frustration and even sympathize with you as how this topic is a red-line for you but it doesn't have to be red-line for others as well. Tbh, i liked the joke at first glance and would be happier if they didn't delete them.
I was hoping unholy becomes that class that floods board consistently but no outright finishers
That does describe token DH pretty well. Sure, the archetype never really was meta, but there were and are a bunch of cards for that archetype that reward you for summoning and destroying your own tokens.
and of course they would print full on aggro cards so the fun of DK ends on the first hours as ppl will grind the aggro version until they nerfed it like they did with Demon Hunter
This leads me to believe that stacking and spending corpses will be a lot harder in practice than it is in theory....either that or we're in for a rough firsts two weeks...
Grave Strength might get nerfed week 1. Its Bloodlust at 4 mana and 4 attack, and for some reason its not for just for a turn. I was hoping unholy becomes that class that floods board consistently but no outright finishers, so for once we can have a game play that isn't just build board and cross fingers turn 5.
Plagued Grain however is weak. Unholy already gains plenty of corpses and this one adds another 4 instantly for a yet to be determined payoff. I guess so Battlefield Necromancer have immediate use on turn 2? There might be something here, but for the moment it doesn't look like unholy can draw very well so this card is hardly helpful for an archetype that want to flood board.
summons minions, gains corpses instantly yeah this will be a BIG reason for running pure Unholy DK. Additionally this helps you setup a Grave Strength turn. Incredible 5/5 star card.

Could be really powerful in the right circumstances, but experience taught me that those circumstances are rarely happening consistently enough to actually put this in your deck.

Pirates and other tokens shall be added to the corpse pile!
Despite contradicting the mechanics, I'll get them in there somehow!
Battle of Tol Barad
Aggressive pirate rogue is working pretty well for me. People don't tech against weapons and play very few taunts.

Grave Strength says "instead", so it's not 4 Attack, just 3.

New Death Knight Spell - Plagued Grain
Just based on how powerful the Corpse cards are this should be good even if it has no immediate impact.
Also it costs only 1-mana so an instant keep in the opening.
Why does Warlock pay 2-mana for a way worse effect?
New Death Knight Spell - Grave Strength
There'S our Savage Roar. I guess Swarm DH is just going to be a thing.
Keep in mind that this is just straight up a better Bloodlust as long as you can activate it and Bloodlust was very much playable for quite a while.
New Death Knight Minion - Ymirjar Deathbringer
Seems a tad iffy to me. 3 Corpses is a lot just for another body. MAybe the taunt wall is just needed for some decks.
New Death Knight Minion - Stitched Giant
This leads me to believe that stacking and spending corpses will be a lot harder in practice than it is in theory....either that or we're in for a rough firsts two weeks...
New Death Knight Spell - Tomb Guardians
This refunds its cost, right?
I guess it depends on how consistently you can proc this on curve, otherwise it's just sorta pointless

I heard a wise old man yell from a very far distance, his voice was ever so faint, but just audible enough for me to hear it.
He said: "Face is the placeeee!"
New Death Knight Minion - Possessifier
That's pretty good for generating corpses, Might actually be too strong at just one rune.

New Death Knight Minion - Bonedigger Geist
Totem Golem if you curve with Bodybagger, should be good.

New Death Knight Minion - Nerubian Swarmguard
Mini Spreading Plague.
I doubt they'll give DK consistent handbuffing or else this would be broken beyond belief.
