This issue is not yet unbearable for me personally because I do not need that XP right now. Also, I have grown accustomed to the fact that every patch Team5 puts out will introduce new bugs, which is a real shame.
I wonder if this is truly a bug or a not-well-thought-out consequence of their new way of doing the tracks. Both the Hallow's End event and the Battlegrounds pass stop letting you complete quests once you've maxed out the respective track; did they do that for the main track as well? It seems harmless, but then again you won't have any quests going into the expansion for that initial surge of XP, which is unfortunate.
I could be off-base with that (cynical) interpretation, but that is where my brain went when I read your comment.
Plus he's from the Core set, so it's not like you pulled something uninteresting. Everyone is given the card for free! :)
Frost requires Corpses from somewhere for Marrow Manipulator, Defrost, etc., so on some level you need a card like this for the bodies if nothing else. He can be awkward for your opponent to deal with, as well, because it could snipe a minion or two on the way out or chip away at their face. Thassarian is just an all-around solid Frost Rune card that - while not flashy - will get the job done.
This bug has already been reported by several people on Reddit and the official Hearthstone US forum. It seems to only have affected players who have finished the entire Rewards Track which further supports the current low report count of this bug because I am part of the minority group in this particular case.

Deathchiller - Not sure how this works because the description is distinctly different from Flamewaker. I think if theres no minions then this only fires once at face. Maybe Im wrong.
You are correct: it requires two (or more) different enemies to fire both projectiles, otherwise it's just hitting face once per spell. Duels has other cards with this phrasing, for reference as-to its functionality.
So...yeah. Not exactly mini-Flamewaker, but could still be fine for chip damage whilst you whittle down their board.
Rimefang Sword and Deathchiller combo naturally with one another, giving you functionality like that of Wild Pyromancer when the enemy board is full and face damage when it's not.
"Better Paladin" seems to be a reoccuring theme with Death Knight.
There's also potential here with Queen Azshara as she can generate another cheap spell to help spam Deathchiller damage. A potential problem could be weenie druid decks that can get boardwide health buffs; outside of that, you should be able to poke the enemy board out of existence and spam leftover damage into face.
These cards, Marrow Manipulator, and Brann Bronzebeard all seem to synergize well with a Sire Denathrius finisher because you're constantly poking down the health of enemy minions. I think you end up with possibly fewer bodies on the board than, say, Spooky Mage trying the same thing, but Corpses give more utility along the way.
The only other deck strong against this is . . . another Death Knight deck. Anti-Magic Shell is a boardwide buff that makes this strategy harder.
Frost DK is going to be vicious against control. Killing your minions (generating corpses) just helps you do damage to their face.
It's a 3/3 with a 3/1 inside of it that deals a Fireball's worth of damage. It can ping minions or pressure face. It's not the most exciting design, but it's pretty strong. Buffing it is a terrible idea.
[Quests] Some Daily and Weekly Quests will now include an arrow at the bottom. Press this arrow to be taken directly to the part of the client where that Quest can be completed.
Off-topic, the unfortunate thing for me is that I am no longer receiving daily nor weekly quests since this patch, but that is a totally different issue.
Uhh, how is that even possible, they've managed to break something in very specific cases? I haven't seen it reported yet.
The entire Path of Arthas is included in the March of the Lich King Pre-Purchase Mega Bundle. Once the expansion goes live, the Path of Arthas will also be available for standalone purchase in either normal (2000 Gold or 1500 Runestones) or Golden offerings (money or 7000 Runestones). The Golden version includes Golden copies of all the cards in the Path of Arthas and a bonus Diamond copy of the Lady Deathwhisper Diamond Legendary card.** Path of Arthas cards can’t be opened from packs, they can only be purchased as part of the pre-purchase Mega Bundle, purchased as a standalone purchase, or crafted.
** Lady Deathwhisper Diamond Legendary card will also be available for purchase as a standalone product.
Just a decent card that'll be included if you're going remotely anywhere near frost. Considering that you have to kill it twice, with 3 attack, and it does 2 extra damage, that's rather alot for a 4 mana card.
All these reborn minions making me wonder whether we'll start just jamming starfish into every deck again.
Personally I’m not sure what 2+ frost rune’s win condition looks like without the 3 rune stuff right now so I think it’d take something ridiculous to give this up
Lady Deathwhisper is just good since nearly all the frost spells are good. But it does feature a problem in that you need to save up on certain spells until you draw this card to gain value. Depending on how well frost DK can generate or draw spells, this can be either very powerful or just a tech against control decks.
Marrow Manipulator is just a casual Pyroblast to the face because frost DK is basically racing to see how much more overpowered they can get. The only problem being the corpse requirement, but when the pay off is good people will find a way to meet it. Its like Avenging Wrath for comparison, but not only better you also somehow get an additional 5/5 stats - might as well roll over now, Uther. First Remorseless Winter and now this? Can we see a power creeping of Tirion Fordring at some point?
OK, unless I'm mistaken, here's a way to save £13.74 on the Mega Bundle if you live in the UK or another region where Blizzard have messed up (and failed to correct) the Runestones pricing (N.B. needs Amazon Coins).
Because the mega bundle costs 8000 Runestones, you can buy 16 x 500 @ £3.99 for a total of £63.84.
Then, becauseyou can use coins to purchase Runestones, you need 6384 for £63.84 worth of them so...
Not sure where this is covered, but can anyone explain the "spend up to X corpses" mechanic? Specifically, does it just spend them all if you have them, or do you get to choose how many you spend?
Deathchiller - Not sure how this works because the description is distinctly different from Flamewaker. I think if theres no minions then this only fires once at face. Maybe Im wrong.
Rimefang Sword - Frost DK already features very power spells like Frostwyrm's Fury and can already cheat mana with cards like Horn of Winter. And suddenly here's a card that makes them even better and can be tutored out with Runeforging. That's so much tempo it reminds me distinctly of tempo dhunter on launch.
Might of Menethil - Two good weapons to choose from. Rimefang would probably be favored against faster decks while this is better against midrange and above. Its really all about what you want to accomplish. But if I had to choose between the two I'd just go for rimefang while only does 2 less net damage and is infinitely better. Its not like frost DK is lacking freeze effects anyway.
But to put in perspective, this is still a good weapon that'll find a home in any other class.

Ice Revenant was (preemptively) nerfed for this!!

4 mana is kind of expensive. Should be a 4/4.
One of the most boring legendaries I've ever seen.
IS IT NOT BORING?
A legendary 4 mana 3/3 deathrattle deal 2 to a random enemy?
That's legendary worthy?

So potentially a 6 mana pyroblast on an empty board and a value card.
Pretty underwhelming legendary honestly.

If you're in the UK and buying the Mega Bundle, save some dough!
OK, unless I'm mistaken, here's a way to save £13.74 on the Mega Bundle if you live in the UK or another region where Blizzard have messed up (and failed to correct) the Runestones pricing (N.B. needs Amazon Coins).
Because the mega bundle costs 8000 Runestones, you can buy 16 x 500 @ £3.99 for a total of £63.84.
Then, because you can use coins to purchase Runestones, you need 6384 for £63.84 worth of them so...
5000 coins @ £42.50
1000 coins @ £9.00
500 coins @ £4.75
= 6500 coins for a total of £56.25 saving you £13.74 and banking 115/116 coins.
Right?
