SPECTACULAR card. I'm crafting this on launch day and putting it in every one of my control decks.
This and Arfus gives almost every deck a possible weapon, which makes me think weapon removal will be run even more at less of a downside. Regardless, love the card, going in every deck for the next few weeks for me.
I am really glad they made this card so strong. I always thought they avoided making the Lich King a card because if it sucked there would be SO MUCH backlash. Like, this is a character you don't fuck with. So I am glad its doing so well with the fans. I am not sure how good it is because the card pool seems absurdly large. But the taunt synergy adds alot. Overall very good treatment towards Arthas! I hope he's as good as everyone is saying!
it seems that Stonehill Defender just got a new friend for all classes now. don't know how to feel about that, i'm still a bit salty since the last time my opponent discovered a White Eyes into a The Storm Guardian 2 turns later, winning a game he would have lost otherwise. This without talking about the Tirions, Primordial drakes sunkeeper Tarim and many others. well, that's RNG stone, gotta get used to it =P
Looks like we're gonna be seeing more The Black Knights and Big Game Hunters. You're gonna be seeing a lot more of the Lich King. He works in everything just like Dr. Boom, and fills the hole Rag left behind.
Day one craft. Hands down just from looking at it this is the best card of the whole set. It fills the hole left behind when Rag was rotated out. This is gonna be the new Rag/Dr. Boom.
But why is that? Well let's see: 8 mana 8/8 neutral with an amazing effect: Gives you one of 8 random Death Knight cards (It pains me that they actually made a Deathknight card background. ;_;) The 8 card are all extremely good, and better then Ysera's Dream cards. To top it off, the Lich King has taunt, so he can protect you from something scary. He just works in nearly everything just like Ragnaros the Firelord and Dr. Boom did.
List of decks The Lich King fits in:
He just works. He's so flexible. And I for one, welcome our new undead overlord.
Why post the trailer you cringey fuckr.
I don't see why everyone is writing about stonehill ? This is not a class card so discovering without class bonus is shit. You will often be offered shitty taunts so stonehill is not an auto-include in a priest deck. Not at all.
Also, for Druid, The Lich King turn 8 into Hadronox turn 9 ?
Maybe ?
Into N'Zoth, the Corruptor turn 10. That's three The Lich Kings plus whatever other taunt and deathrattle minions you might have had. Talk about crazy value!
Looks like taunt's back on the menu, boys
Good thing I just got a Black Knight from a pack. Bring it on.
Of course they reveal THIS card right after I dust my black knight. I can never get a break with this game.
Free From Amber buff.
plz make stats 6/8 or 8/6, or no taunt
This is the Lich King not the Shit King.
now class minions are getting powercreeped by neutral ones? poor irondude treeguy, man, he's much cooler than this crappy lich dude no one knows about dude
