Yeah, I genuinely don't like how this powercreeps on Consecration. You'd think that extra draw would at least cost a corpse or two. It's unclear to me how much the Frost archetype interacts with the corpse mechanic.

I'm getting really skeptical of the Death Knight design. It seems like they decided to come up with all OP cards and think they can balance it by not having them all played in the same deck. So they're sort of creating 3 different OP archetypes in one class instead of 1 (like with the release of Demon Hunter).

Could be good, but judging from experience, cards that require your minions to die while they are on the board are rarely as strong as the look.

Feast of Souls never saw play and that thing only cost 1-mana.

If triple Blood is viable this will be the core reason to run it. 50 total health combined with all the healing they're probably getting access too could make it king at outlasting just about every damage based strategy. The real question is if it has a win condition of its own.

well according to wowpedia, the Ymirjar are undead Vrykull,  or atleast some of them.

Bunch of frost ones (that look like this) are undead, bunch are classes as humanoid and both look exactly the same

Probably rather strong in practice given that it needs two Blood runes. Ultimately it comes down to how easily DK can rack up corpses.

Well, Frost is clearly the aggro/burn Rune. Would make sense to have a card that prevents your opponent from just outhealing you, especially since DK seems to be all about Chip damage instead of burst combos.

Comparable to Cold Case could be a good aggro card, but perhaps it's too slow. Good Corpse generator at least

It's a vrykul. The Ymirjar are a vrykul clan that serve the Scourge.

Depending on the meta this could be straight up broken. In most situations it's just a vanilla minion though.

And let me tell you about Swipe!

Seems weak. IT's just Man the Cannons, but more expensive and with a Freeze on the enemy you deal the most damage to (which makes the Freeze effect less relevant early on)

I guess Frost aggro is a thing. Seems a bit too weak though, on average it'S only going to be a 2/2 and even if you highroll and get like a 4/2 it's probably dead before it connects face. 2-health just isn't enough for something like this.

I believe it's a frost giant, and not actually undead.

Shouldnt the 1drop be classed as a undead?

Considering all of the apparent face damage in the Frost Rune repertoire, I guess he's there as a "haha, you can't heal while I prepare for lethal" roadblock. Your opponent would have to waste time/resources killing him before they can focus on healing, keeping them on the backfoot. The *real* question is if this denies Sire Denathrius's healing before it dies from the effect. That would be huge.

Is that worth a card in your deck? Not necessarily, but I can understand the point of it. If anything, it might be "in-house" check against other Death Knights, specifically of the Blood variety. Class tech cards really shouldn't exist, in my opinion - that should be a Neutral's job - but at least it has a respectable stat-line.

Very solid aggro card and might even be good enough for other decks if they value chip damage

Frost deathknight actually looks to be pretty solid.

ymirjar frostbreaker -

It’s a really powerful one drop if you’re running frost spells, having just one in hand makes it a blazing battlemage, a card that saw play the entire time it was in standard

Howling Blast - 

It’s a 3 mana swipe/frostbolt, it looks to just be a good burn spell

Remorseless winter - 

Consecreation has been feeling awfully sad lately and this doesn’t help, this is like if mass dispell was a board clear, will probably be a strong option mainly for frost/blood hybrids, pure frost might have better spells for its game plan at this rate though

Bonebreaker - 

a nice aggressive weapon akin to dh’s  deadprison glaive, I think aggressive death knights will really like this

Rime sculptor - 

actually surprisingly efficient if you were to compare it to cold case in mage, it still looks alittle unimpressive for a 5 drop though since it lacks rush and doesn’t necessarily build a wincon like mage’s kt, so it might be mostly for frost+unholy builds.

Repulsive gargantuan -

Considering frost’s bursty nature and atleast the current prevalence of big denathrius heals(this might not work against it if it dies but I think it does) it might actually see some play as a tech, don’t expect to see too much of it though as 4 mana is still an unappealing investment for a card can easily just be a vanilla 3/6
