Who am I? I am power incarnate, but that's none of your business.
So does anyone know how this will synergise with the original Deathwing? If you play Deathwing onto a board with Deathwing, Dragonlord, will it discard the hand before the deathrattle can go off? Or will it pull the dragons onto the board before discarding the hand? I take it that it'll be the former rather than the latter as the battlecry would have to end completely before the deathrattle can take effect...
Battlecry effect is initiated first so both hand and field are eliminated at the same time. This means that you will not have a hand for the deathrattle to affect.
If your Deathwing, Dragonlord dies, the battlecry of the Deathwing won't trigger, I assume... just like Varian Wrynn.
Deathwings battlecry throws out your hand and then you get 0 dragon from the Deathrattle.
Deathwing won't trigger, since the Battlecry only triggers when you play the card. And this card says: "Put all..." so you can play Deathwing, Dragonlord and get the vanilla Deathwing in your hand out on the board and still keep all other cards in your hand.
That's what I thought, @Dibullba. Cheers for clarifying. And @Jacua, of course, but that wasn't my question.
Nevermind, I just got what your doubt was about... Dibullba is right.
Has no immediate effect, but highly unlikely that you'll be able to kill both this and any dragons drawn from this. 10 mana so you won't be able to kill anything before using this. The value of this is going to depend on how well you've been able to control the board earlier, and what you're facing. Mind control, entomb, humility effects, silence+removal, are all huge counters to this. This'll be quite the gamble that may payoff huge.
you forgot: NEFERIAN! (8/8) Onyxia (8/8), Chromaggus(6/8 and effect) , Nozdormu(8/8 and effect), Deathwing (Bloodhoof all over again), etc.
So let me get this straight. Your intention is to play deathwing dragonlord turn 10, then play a raptor turn 11, then run the raptor into something turn 12 to get the deathrattle.
If they had a counter (silence+kill it, polymorph, hex, entomb, etc), they would've played it before you got to play your raptor.
If they don't have a counter, there is no reason to be playing the raptor. Your win condition is happily winning the game for you, and stacking his deathrattle provides no benefit to you.
It's just this set, they are trying to show the corrupted version of some cards already in the game. I doubt we get too many reprinted characters in the future. it just fit this sets story well.
However, I would love to see a playable Illidan, but that's just me.
you play deathwing, dragonlord.
"I got tha beast in mah sights"
"I AM POWER INCARNATE"
"YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE DAUGHTER OF DEATHWING!"
"paladin does the light FORSAKE YOU?"
..... well played.
The victory is yours.
yea that will...oh wait non of the battlecry's trigger, you have played a 10 mana minion that does nothing the turn it is played which in most causes will lose you the game and you have to keep all these minions in your hand instead of playing them on curve winch would be significantly better than just waiting till turn 10 were in most cases you will be dead by this point because you did not contest the board.
your telling me that having 28 attack on the board is a bad thing in one turn? yeah the battlecrys dont trigger but when you have 28 attack on board i think you would not care, IMHO
Seems interesting, but I don't really think this will be played too much. How many dragon's do you usually have in hand in turn 11 or later?
I realize how powerful Deathwing is and that he has more ties to the old gods due to his corruption, but I think Dragonlord would've been more fitting for a Galakrond card. He was the progenitor of dragon-kind.

Very good idea, it also wouldn't make them print the exactly same character twice.
Wow, 10 mana do nothing! Actual Deathwing is so much better than this trash. And why the fuck there is 2 Deathwings now? He was already corrupted, Ben Brode fucked us again.
That's actually uncorrupted version of him, just like with Ragnaros, Lightlord. And i have to disagree - huge body, powerful Deathrattle and synergy with N'Zoth the Corruptor may be insane in dragon/deathrattle priest decks. Especially considering the meta is going to slow down.
