These seem like decent to good cards, but i'm not certain if it will be worth running full frost-DK. Really depends on the 1 rune cost Unholy/Blood rune cards. But if those 1 cost blood/unholy rune cards will anywhere near as good as the 1 cost frost cards, then it will be quite difficult to choose between the full frost package or 2x frost + 1 unholy or blood rune.
6 mana Pyroblast in the right scenario. However there are cons to this card. First of all if your opponent has a bunch of minions on board it isn't that great. It's not great as a Reno the Relicologist kinda board clear, considering hitting a 1/1 minion would waste same damage. The best role it can have i.m.o. is clearing the board, even if it can waste damage on a 1/1, and then going for the OTK combo the turn after. But it does require you to actually have corpses saved up, which might be troublesome for a pure Frost DK.
But is this worth running 3 frost runes? That is the biggest question, and i'm not certain. It seems decent, but the 2 other rune types might really contest that 3th rune slot.
The only interesting cards here is Bone Breaker and Howling Blast, nearly all others are fairly mundane stuff, aside from Remorseless Winter obviously powercreeping Consecration, in case anyone needs more evidence of DK having just better stuff at launch.
Bone Breaker is a better weapon than Frostmourne and is immediately playable at 0 mana with Runeforging. While DK has yet to show any synergies with weapons and attacks, having a card that tutors a weapon that's immediately playable is a good tempo tool that will be appreciated by any deck
Howling Blast is just good old swipe. The freezing effect is the real winner here.
Seems very slow, but for some kind of frost DK OTK deck it might have a chance. Additionally it COPIES the frost spells, which means any frost spells that are discounted get their discounts copied as well, which can lead to a ton of mana cheating.
The only real problem for this card is the fact that it might be better to run a blood or unholy rune instead of the 3th frost rune. My guess is that we will need to experiment with this card first before we can really judge how good it is.
Harbinger of Winter - The Deathrattle might be a little slow, but they didn't give this card 2 Frost Runes with no reason: will be a 2 of in every DK deck that can afford running it.
Might of Menethil - Now the Freeze effects are starting to gain remarkable traction. I like the fact that this effect is capped at 3 targets, but that doesn't mean the card won't be good: in fact, this is going to be pretty much a Frost Nova that Freezes less and pushes more damage.
And finally the big payoffs for pure frost, and they both look pretty impressive
Lady deathwisper -
A war master voone for frost spells something that unlike dragons are cards you can easily leverage a large number of. Looks to be an incredibly powerful way of generating alot of resources and just incentivizing pure frost in general
Marrow manipulator -
A powerful way to leverage corpses in a deck that appeared to have been lacking compelling ways to do so, might not make the cut though unless there is a really nice means of generating corpses introduced though as you probably care more about having the corpses for defrost, even so since there isn’t anything else you care about there might be just enough minions for it to work out.
I've been using a Sunken City era title because I didn't seem to get one last expansion. Thankfully that looks to be fixed this time. Did we miss a Tavern Crawl?

Yee-ikes, @biegasu, that absolutely sucks! I hope that you've reported a bug report on that problem. It's one thing to have account synchronization issues (or whatever it is that is the cause of our woes), but to also lose credits in the deal too is just unacceptable.
Very good.. for a rager. I dont think this sees any play though, not even in arena.
Actually, considering Priest might get *ugh + deep sigh*.... ress priest back this might see play, as long as the ress priest stuff is cheap enough to be used aggresively.
That being said, i love the fact it just says "Battlecry: Die." lol
Amazing weapon. Freezing and stalling untill the combo turn is what frost DK seems to really like, and this helps a lot with it. It seems also very good alongside a unholy rune so Frost DK gets some more corpses.

4 New Death Knight Cards Revealed by Blizzard for Hearthstone's Core & Path of Arthas Sets
Deathchiller - As YourPrivateNightmare already pointed out Flamewanker for DK. In order to gauge this card's viability, we'll need to take a look at the cards' spell pool; however, Horn of Winter and Icy Touch are a very good start.
Harbinger of Winter - The Deathrattle might be a little slow, but they didn't give this card 2 Frost Runes with no reason: will be a 2 of in every DK deck that can afford running it.
Rimefang Sword - OTK enabler? Maybe. Aggro DK already wants to run Bone Breaker, but with Runeforging you can afford playing multiple weapons.
Might of Menethil - Now the Freeze effects are starting to gain remarkable traction. I like the fact that this effect is capped at 3 targets, but that doesn't mean the card won't be good: in fact, this is going to be pretty much a Frost Nova that Freezes less and pushes more damage.
New Death Knight Minion - Lady Deathwhisper
Seems too slow for what Frost DK attempts to be in my opinion.
Frostwanker is a good card, but it doesn't have the OTK potential necessary to just spend 5 turns doing nothing of relevance and then popping off.
But at least I now understand why they nerfed Revenant preemptively.

New Death Knight Minion - Marrow Manipulator
At first I thought this was bad, then I realized it's basically Pyroblast ona stick for 6-mana.
That's a finisher if I've ever seen one.

Kind of thorn between Blood and Frost since Overseer Frigidara looks bussin', but Blood has sooo many cool cards.
Unholy cries in a corner lol

Team Blood where ya at?
4 New Death Knight Cards Revealed by Blizzard for Hearthstone's Core & Path of Arthas Sets
Me too!
New Death Knight Minion - Corpse Bride
If you can stack corpses fast this is incredibly. If not, it's still decent.
New Death Knight Minion - Malignant Horror
Sounds too gimmicky to work. IT's just a small goon that eats all your corpses. Unless spamming Undeads leads to victory I doubt this makes sense.
New Death Knight Minion - Chillfallen Baron
How do you not put this into every DK deck? It's literally Arcane Intellect (a card that still sees play to this day) on a body
Query: issues with Collection Level Rewards?
I'm having the exactly same problem, and not just my cards are losing the upgrade, but I'm losing my credit spended on that upgrade
New Death Knight Spell - Runeforging
Weapon tutors are good. We've seen some of the weapons already and I'd want to tutor most of them. This'll see play.

I will be one of them :)
New Neutral Minion - Scourge Rager
Very good.. for a rager. I dont think this sees any play though, not even in arena.
Actually, considering Priest might get *ugh + deep sigh*.... ress priest back this might see play, as long as the ress priest stuff is cheap enough to be used aggresively.
That being said, i love the fact it just says "Battlecry: Die." lol
New Death Knight Minion - Body Bagger
Good if getting Corpses on curve is important.
New Warrior Spell - Embers of Strength
And it left me sitting here, wondering what "Fire Warrior" might bring to the table ... strange
New Death Knight Weapon - Might of Menethil
Amazing weapon. Freezing and stalling untill the combo turn is what frost DK seems to really like, and this helps a lot with it. It seems also very good alongside a unholy rune so Frost DK gets some more corpses.
