| (1/2) This card represents Dranosh Saurfang, fierce warrior of the Horde, after being captured by the Lich King and converted into a Death Knight. While writing these, I thought to rewatch the WoW cinematic featuring Varok Saurfang, Dranosh’s father.

| I just want to point out that the name of the Undead Chicken summoned by this card is “Foul Fowl”, and I think that’s just wonderful.

| (1/2) We knew there would be a question of when exactly you get a Corpse from a minion timing, whether it’s before or after a Deathrattle triggers.

| While not part of a particular deck archetype, we wanted to make a big defensive spell that could just save you in a pinch, especially through Discover or random generation. It’s important to have cards like this to ‘hope for’, to get you out of tricky situations.

| (1/2) When brainstorming flavor ideas for cards that represented Silvermoon City, the most memorable thing to me from whenever I visited there was the magical brooms sweeping the streets. Had to include them as a card.

| We had to get Arthas’ steed involved here, and took heavy design inspiration from the last notorious undead horse that graced a Hearthstone card, Bonemare.

| (1/2) In WoW, Death Knights have a ton of gameplay related to diseases, various plagues that they would infect enemies with, that had their own effects and activated other abilities.

| (1/2) Each class has their own affinities for different minion types. We knew Death Knights would love Undead, but wanted to find something else they could dabble in as well, so they didn’t feel too one-note.

| (1/2) This card was called Mindtwister for much of development. Meanwhile, we had been trying to find a way to reference last year’s World Champion, Posesi, in a card name, and having a tough time with that.

| This card uses art from a WoW TCG card, Ghoulish Epidemic, but recolored to be primarily green, fitting Unholy, instead of its original bright red, which would have looked like a Blood card.

| This was one of the earliest art pieces we had done for the set, and provided a touchstone for us, for how posing could help imply Undeadiness, even through armor. Love it. https://t.co/YpON1QsDAC |
