    This epic does have potential in token decks, especially seeing how sticky it is. The high health is exactly what you need to take advantage of this effect. Token druid or Aggro DH might use this. Even DH can benefit coz the tokens become extra corpses.

    There's a reason for the different reveal schedule

    This can be really strong in certain decks and can easily be used as a combo piece. I wouldn't be surprised if someone figures out a really simple combo to pull off with this guy. Should be great fun experimenting and also will be hilarious when generated off of random effects.

    I actually need this card upon seeing it. It's amazing value and curves out well at 4, 7, then 10 mana (for the additional effect ofc). If you trigger every Manathirst requirement, this is 15/15 in stats across 3 bodies and 18 damage + 5 armor. That is nuts.

    Reminiscent of Pyros, but better... way better.

    Breakdown of the rune distribution for DK:

    • 0 cards with 3x Frost Rune
    • 0 cards with 2x Frost Rune
    • 1 cards with 1x Frost Rune
    • 0 cards with 3x Unholy Rune
    • 1 cards with 2x Unholy Rune
    • 2 cards with 1x Unholy Rune
    • 3 cards with 3x Blood Rune
    • 1 cards with 2x Blood Rune
    • 2 cards with 1x Blood Rune
    • 0 cards with no runes

    Summary: of all DK cards:

    • Path of Arthas set is more Frost rune focused
    • Core set is more Unholy rune focused
    • March of the Lich King is more Blood rune focused.

    Rune distribution for DK:

    • 0 cards with 3x Frost Rune
    • 4 cards with 2x Frost Rune
    • 5 cards with 1x Frost Rune
    • 3 cards with 3x Unholy Rune
    • 4 cards with 2x Unholy Rune
    • 4 cards with 1x Unholy Rune
    • 0 cards with 3x Blood Rune
    • 2 cards with 2x Blood Rune
    • 6 cards with 1x Blood Rune
    • 4 cards with no runes

    Looks like the core set will be more unholy focused with 11 cards having at least 1 unholy rune.

    Seeing as all DK cards have been revealed, here's a breakdown of the different rune distribution:

    • 3 cards with 3x Frost Rune
    • 3 cards with 2x Frost Rune
    • 4 cards with 1x Frost Rune
    • 0 cards with 3x Unholy Rune
    • 2 cards with 2x Unholy Rune
    • 4 cards with 1x Unholy Rune
    • 0 cards with 3x Blood Rune
    • 4 cards with 2x Blood Rune
    • 2 cards with 1x Blood Rune
    • 4 cards with no runes

    Summary: Seems Path of Arthas is more Frost rune focused with 10 cards alone being that of Frost.

    Hey look, Cult Master got an upgrade! This will see play as the 1x frost rune isn't that big of a restriction. There will be plenty of new (and old) undead minions to take advantage of so this draw engine will be good.

    A no minion DH? Sounds interesting, considering everyone used to joke about spell Hunter back in the Rumble days. Also DH does have Abyssal Depths which can tutor Lady S'theno for eg, so I'm fairly optimistic about this new DH archetype.

    This is actually hilarious that Blizzard decided to reveal this hunter card first when there's only Arcane Shot in standard atm. Sure more arcane spells will get revealed but I don't see a point in running this card at all. The +1 spell damage isn't that much of a benefit anyway. Least the epic gem matches the card art but I'll be bummed if I open this epic in packs.

    So if you have Renathal, you can technically get 60 health if you cast 2 of these spells. That's double the normal health. Insane in a greedy control deck

    Honestly, Soulstealer is a better card but ofc there's a difference between 2x and 3x rune restrictions. This along with all other DK cards will see experimentation. Depending how many corpses a Blood DK can generate by turn 5, this spell should clear the board.

    Token druid can use this minion but Druid would need to get a lot more undead minions for this to see play. Time will tell.

    I have a feeling that 3/2 zombie tokens will be Shaman's theme this expansion. This is 9/6 in stats across 3 bodies if the condition is met but probably won't be good in constructed

    For the ultra greedy decks, combo Lorthemar with Brann for triple the stats! Or would it be quadruple? Regardless, it's a neutral legendary so there is bound to be a class and archetype that will love this guy.

    Guess it's nice for classes that battle with AOE like Druid. Might be a tech card if there's an aggro/token meta and there's also the Reborn mechanic again where Street Sweeper could clean up the 1 health minions. Probably being too optimistic though and this will only see play through random generation or in arena.

    Might be additional stall but I see this more of an arena card than anything else. If aggro runs rampant in the next expansion, this minion may be able to help you but then again, aggro can kill you by turn 6 anyway if you're not running Renathal.

    Not sure what Shaman archetype will use this spell. Ofc there's the Multicaster benefit but you can't build your who deck around that minion. I'm assuming there will be more Shaman zombie related synergies though so I'm remaining fairly optimistic till we get the rest of the Shaman cards.

    Nice stall minion later on in the game but I don't know which class will want to use this neutral. I'm assuming the Manathirst mechanic doesn't trigger if you randomly summon from evolve or other effects. If it does, then there will be plenty of funny moments getting a crazy 3 drop.
