    Not too happy about this. It's the only new card that spends corpses, and it sucks. Rainbow DK will need support.

    @Pezman - It's not for Rainbow DK, but for the Blood/Unholy Handbuff package. 2-Mana to summon two 5/4s or better - with Taunt - would be worth it in the mid-game; or at least, that's the hope.

    This new card is disappointing—it's the only one that utilizes corpses, and it's underwhelming. Rainbow DK definitely needs some additional support to shine.

    I can see it finding a place in some sort of midrange handbuff deck, but I doubt that's going to be a thing.

    I do not think I will be playing this card as I want to try other stuff out, but this with the garden gnomes in the same deck, could be pretty annoying actually.

    Yeah, I have to agree with the above that this is weak. Except that I am really into Undead buff decks, and this should be one of the perfect targets for it - you're already wanting to gain Corpses to level up the SPellstone, then you play the spellstone and spend those corpses to get two fairly big Taunt minions for 2. I'll try it out.

    I don't want to cure cancer; I want to turn people into dinosaurs.

    I think it's weak. The Corpse cost is fairly steep and the payoff feels pretty lackluster. You'd need to land a lot of handbuffs on it to make it worthwhile.

    Skibidi toilet meets Hearthstone and now you can't unsee it :D

    Seriously though, I've played a bit of Even BBU DK in Wild and it was much fun and on an okay power level. Maybe Standard can get something going here, especially with the Rune adjustments. Summoning copies is a good idea in general, but it's probably worse than Nerubian Swarmguard because it summons one less copy and you can't pay the 5 corpses early anyway.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Meme references out the wazoo with the art but seems meh, unlikely you'd get the extra body on turn 2 but could be strong in the right handbuff DK deck, we'll see

    Very powerful card for handbuff DK, pretty much playable in this deck

    2 mana 3/2 taunt has never felt good for tempo

    And you're paying a large premium to double that?

    No thanks, only worth if handbuffed AND corpse'd

    Weak on its own, but very good card once buffed. Sadly it might make the Discover pool weaker for non-buff decks.

    A strong handbuff payoff, but I don't think its strong enough to push the deck into viability.

    Seem okay. I'm unsure if bringing this back will be worth that many corpses. Probably isn't unless you can buff it a bit. You'll also need to be able to generate a lot of corpses, but I believe that is unholy's specialty.

    Even with it being cheaper than Swarmguard, I think that the corpse cost to get copies of this is way too high to replace those
