Trivia
- Dreadsteed was original destined for the Naxxramas Adventure as a Neutral Minion but due to an infinite combo with Warsong Commander, it was not included. (Source)
Deathrattle: At the end
of the turn, summon a Dreadsteed.
Crescendo himself summoned this steed, riding it to victory in the Grand Tournament. Wherever he rides, an army of riders ride behind him, supporting the legendary champion.

And here i thought it was the Knightmare.
I'd prefer the name, dreadsteed is so hard to say...or type
dafuq they couldve atleast made it a 2/1 like that would still be perfectly balanced
"Perfectly balanced"? Are you nuts? 2 damages that you cannot get rid of, maybe 4 damages, you call that balanced? Dude, the difference between 1/1 and 2/1 is huge! Especially in warlocks decks (even more so since it's a demon, which means you can buff it up in many MANY ways too)
Man... Mass Dispel just became the most valuable silence in this game. TGT brought so many silenceble targets that you literally can't waste single target silences on minions like Dreadsteed.
no joke, priest hype anyone?
Free patrons :D
Man Trump will have a seizure when he sees this card
I want to see him open a pack with dreadsteed and 4 demonfuse.
Dream combo: Dreadsteed and Warsong Commander
That's if you get Dreadstead via Piloted Sky Golem or other ways.
dream combo: wait for your opponent to play this card. you play warsong and patron. limitless patrons. this card is a buff for patron warrior in disguise.
But seriously, a 4 mana cost for unlimited 1/1 ?
Not worth the tempo if you'd ask me.
And don't start on Baron Rivendare shenanigans because that's just a gimmick play, won't see an actual play in competitive/laddering.
I'd say it's an average card for an Arena, because you have endless supplies of minions, but then again, you can use Paladin for this matter.
If it's a 2 Mana 1/1, I'd take it any day.
Or a 5 Mana 2/2.
On T4, playing this card will make you so late in the tempo, thus, can lose you the game.
Even if this thing survives the tempo stage, it cannot contribute much as its stats is pretty garbage, might consider to see the play if it's a 2/2 (does not dies to ping).
I guess it works on Zoo pretty much, provided that you MUST provide buffs/bonuses to this minion, else, it is pretty weak.
Good against Divine Shield minions, though.
On the other hand, Priest would run Mass Dispel/Silence IF this card enters the meta.
I think priest would simply shadow madness Dreadsteed or cabal shadow priest it...free 11 sure
I dunno, I could see it. It would be the best Baron target possible.
If it sees play, we'll see a lot more silence.
Grim Horse
This and Baron Rivendare to fill you broad full of silly 1/1s that keeps coming back.
So the idea is you always have a target for abusive sergeant, PO, dire wolf, even void terror, and the minion doesn't actually die (Sac Pact too, I suppose...). Moreover, you don't have to lose an important minion with PO. Once you invest in the card it's like you have a free paladin hero power for the rest of the game. Until it gets silenced. Many decks run 1 silence, some run 0, Druid has 2, Shaman just earth shocks it, but there are a lot of silence targets in zoo, so it's decent silence bait. You lose tempo playing it, but it's good for board control, which is what zoo is for. Despite all of these possibilities, this card is suicide against Patron, so I can't get too excited about it.
A lot of people might silence the voidcallers and nerubian eggs before this comes into play in a zoo deck, so it could give permanent board presence; but you're right, it isn't a very exciting mid to late game play.
Demonwrath? Just hellfire them!
I've imagined cards like this.
If a warlock somehow gets a Warsong Commander, then it's a board wipe. If you can keep up with the animations, that is.
I could see this card being extremely irritating if you lack silence, but extremely punishing if you do get silenced.
This play is countered by Target Dummy. xD
