If you are worried about the downside of battlecry dragons turning up, play this without dragons. Still a 12 12 for 10, so good stats and a way to be brought back in a nzoth deck.
I got him from a pack and I'm thinking about disenchanting him. I don't usually play priest or paladin and I need the dust to craft Twin Emperor Vek'lor. Thoughts?
Dont dust this guy. With Karazhan coming right up, dragons are probably goiing to be a thing again
Are there any competitive decks right now, that actually make use of this card?
a dragon priest rekt me with this one.
I don't know why, but in the polish version of Hearthstone, his name got changed to Neltharion
Deathwing was named Neltharion before he was called deathwing. He was once a good dragon.....once LOL
OH MY GOD. I JUST THOUGH OF SOMETHING. INNERVATE+DEATHWING DRAGONLORD TOP 2 TAVERN BRAWL. LOOOL
good card
"Puny mortals !!!"
Hearthstone is consuming your time.
36% very good 27% meta defining yep I am seeing this card everywhere!
Aldor Peacekeeper shhh deathwing the big boys are playing! *ignores*
*silences deathwing* I AM A BIG BOY!
He is honestly not super great right now. Too many dragons rely on battlecry effects to be useful and if Deathwing puts them on the board you can end up with some easily cleared minions. It's great if you can get Ysera, Deathwing 1.0, or Chromagus on the board. But his cost is just way too much for a small chance at drawing those cards to. But the day some great dragons are released that are really solid without battlecry buffs. Deathwing is going to be amazing.
he´s still a 12/12 which is pretty good
I almost want to rate this card meta-defining, but unfortunately there's isn't enough dragons that has a non-battlecry effect(only Ysera and Chromaggus) . Midnight Drake is quite a good 4-mana sentinel role minion, especially when putting behind the taunt of twilight guardian, but it's usually useless in the late game and therefore most Dragon Priest rather take the Shifting shade.
Equally Deathwing 1.0 is a card that, in a control rally you actually wanna reserve till the very end, but yet if you somehow draw it into your hand when 2.0 is on the board, it actually has a negative effect.
Despite all the aforesaid, a 10 mana 12/12 with no detrimental effect by itself is good enough, and one that can actually summons a whole army is even better.
Also in wild the combo with Duplicate with Dragonlord is totally INSANE. You killed a 12/12, and it brings back at least 2 12/12+ alpha, against Mage or any class that does not have absolute board clear it's an auto concede.
Not as good than it seems... only recomendable en dragon priest
So today I had this card out for the first time since crafting it. Got him out, opponent blew his wad trying to get it off the board, and as soon as it died out came Ysera,Chillmaw,Chromaggus, Twilight Drake, and Azure Drake. Best. Card. Ever.
Not bad, not good. But has a huge potential. For example if you're holding Malygos while this card on board, when it dies Malygos will summon for free. And if you're holding high damage spells you can kill your opponent easily. Or another dream scenario is holding Ysera. Ysera is really great thread for you opponent and think play it for free.
But this card is so slow and probably so many times you can not make them. We can see on Trolden this ones.
