  • New Death Knight Minion - Meat Grinder

    No idea if this is any good but man I love the flavor.

    I guess it's an interesting take to have a self-mill card that encourages you to run disposable minions and not too many win conditions.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Possessifier

    Wow well here is a 5/5 star card. This is a 5 mana 7/7 worth of stats, has immidiate impact on the board and on top of that it will generate a total of 5 corpses after it dies. Oh and even on top of that it only costs 1 unholy rune, which means that 2x blood/frost rune decks can include this as a corpse generator and removal option. This is a very good minion and even if you play this on a empty board it will probably be annoying to remove unless your opponent plays neutral-defile.

    yay dead by turn 3

  • New Death Knight Minion - Bonedigger Geist

    2 mana 3/4 seems good. Just costs a single corpse for the buff which is easy during mid/late game, but i do wonder if you can trigger it on turn 2, which is the dream. So far it seems like thats only possible if you play Body Bagger on turn 1. Yeah i think this might see experimentation but i'm not sure if it makes the cut in most refined deck lists.

    Edit: just saw the 1 mana gain 4 corpses card that costs 3 unholy runes, yeah this might slot into pure unholy decks because it might be reliable enough to trigger the battlecry on turn 2 a bit more consistantly.

    Grave Strength is like Bloodlust but straight up better if you have the corpses.

    Big fan.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Ymirjar Deathbringer

    Hmmm this doesnt really seem that good to me. Its just a 3 mana 3/3 and do you really want to spend 3 corpses in order to summon another 3/3 with taunt? Sure it seems sticky but honestly out of all the unholy DK cards i've seen so far this seems like the weakest one. And it costs 2 unholy runes as well, which makes it even worse i.m.o.

    You are allowed to Discover outside your given Rune loadout - there are no restrictions unless stated otherwise on the card (like the aforementioned Necrotic Mortician, or Frost Strike). So something like Venomous Scorpid or Pandaren Importer could be used to skirt around the Rune requirements.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Stitched Giant

    Auto include 5/5 star. Incredible minion and with all the corpse consuming cards we have seen this seems super easy to reduce to 0 mana. Additionally it says "this game", which means you can top-deck a 0 mana Stitched Giant. And it seems pretty good with cards like Corpse Bride in a aggro Unholy DK deck, if you got plenty of corpses and slam this down alongside the Corpse Bride on turn 5... Just wow the overwhelming amount of stats.

  • 4 New Unholy Death Knight Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King & Associated Sets

    Mortician makes me wonder...what happens if you end up discovering a card with a rune that your deck normally wouldnt be able to run? is that even possible or does the discovery pool exclude those cards?

  • New Death Knight Spell - Dark Transformation

    Seems interesting. You can transform some random low statted undead into a big rush, which is nice. This can be seen as a buff, that also had immediate impact on the board thanks to the rush effect. Imagine trading a random undead minion in and it has a summon a undead deathrattle or it has reborn, and you cast Dark Transformation on the token to buff it and remove something on the other side of the board. This looks like a pretty good tempo-swing. And Unholy DK has plenty of undead minions, so that doesn't really limit the amount of minions you can target with this. Yeah i think this will be a solid card in Unholy DK.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Blightfang

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

  • New Death Knight Minion - Nerubian Swarmguard

    Insane card. This seems like a better "how long will this go on?", and its in unholy DK so you also have Anti-Magic Shell in case some of these survive. For 4 mana you also get 3 corpses and their taunts that protect your other minions. This also looks very good for 2x Blood + 1x Unholy DK as it helps with protecting FACE and creating corpses. Just overall a super solid minion that is very sticky and can lead to some strong follow-up.

  • New Death Knight Spell - Tomb Guardians

    Ooh a very sticky card, and if you use 4 corpses to get the reborn the card will technically pay itself back in terms of corpse total. This seems pretty good for protecting your other minions, and might help setup a Anti-Magic Shell turn. This seems pretty good.

  • New Death Knight Spell - Tomb Guardians

    It pays for itself!

  • New Death Knight Minion - Necrotic Mortician

    Nice and probably pretty consistant discover card. But it does cost 2 unholy runes, which is kinda bad considering Unholy DK seems to be this Aggro SMOrc archetype. So unless there will be a more midrangey Unholy DK deck, this probably will see fringe play. But hey maybe im wrong and this card completely blows my expectations.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Blightfang

    I would love Beast DK

    Maybe Nerubian DK?

  • New Death Knight Minion - Meat Grinder

    Hmm, this seems kinda akward because you have no say in which minion gets shredded... BUT this obviously will see play in DK decks that want to SMOrc, and have many corpses. So having a way to get a bunch of corpses instantly will probably be appreciated, additionally this thins out your deck which has always been strong. And shredding a minion is often not bad in a more "vomit out minions and damage" kinda deck.

    This also synergises really well with cards like Corpse Bride. So i think this will see play.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Blightfang

    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.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Meat Grinder

    I don't like how this select at random, from your deck ... seems like quite the sacrifice.
    You may sometimes get lucky, and sometimes it might ruins your late game ..

  • 4 New Unholy Death Knight Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King & Associated Sets

    Unholy decks are building board so often you'd think these are paladin cards. Such a shame that old pally himself have so much trouble sticking boards only for the new guy to get all the fun stuff.

    I can see Stitched Giant being a problem. Fortunately, its double rune requirement. But in a deck that runs plenty of board this thing coming out for free might be backbreaking, especially since there's so many taunts being generated.

  • New Death Knight Minion - Necrotic Mortician

    Discovering from a restricted pool of cards should be fairly consistent, and the condition seems easy enough for playability

  • 6 New Unholy Death Knight Cards Revealed for Hearthstone's March of the Lich King & Associated Sets

    As expected, unholy tends to make up tons of tokens so plenty of corpses.

    - Blightfang is just insane shit. Massive punish for having lots of minions. If this thing has a high win rate they might have to nerf it because no one likes to be punished for playing hearthstone.

    - Nerubian Swarmguard probably signals there being some kind of handbuff card in the works. On its own its fairly weak, which is surprising given that DK cards are going to be obviously better than average

    - Meat Grinder is interesting, but likely its an option for decks that want extra corpses but dont want to commit fully to unholy cards. Because why would anyone whos going full unholy want this at all?

  • New Death Knight Minion - Stitched Giant

    Auto-include?

  • New Death Knight Minion - Nerubian Swarmguard

    Handbuff Unholy DK?

    Some oozes might also help
