Hi! I just created I guess kinda OP card whitchone destroys every aggro decks. I was kinda pissed because of Pirate Warrior and Rogue so I created this. What do you think? Is it playable if it gets some changes?
Your lich king card is too wordy in my opinion. Just change it to "when your hero takes fatal damage, replace it with the lich king" and give him a bit less health, like 15. I think him replacing your hero from your deck is kind of op, maybe add the condition "if this is in your hand, and your hero takes fatal damage, replace your hero with the Lich King." Also, I think you need something a little more powerful than the hero power you have, but a lot less powerful then the "2nd stage" one in your original idea. Think about 9 cost Jaraxxus which gives you "summon a 6/6 for 2 mana." I think you can have something as strong, or better given all the pieces you need to get the lich king.

I really like the story being told by these sets of cards. However, as cool as they might be, having a card automatically being summoned from your deck is really overpowered. Granted that however, you do balance this out nicely by having to shuffle numerous cards into your deck. Still, this is an incredibly powerful card at 20hp. On the other hand, since you have already taken damage before replacing your hero, it will start closer to 15.
Very nice design surprisingly well balanced for its effect on the game. I still have a knee jerk reaction to say its too strong, but we live in a world where Shamans get 5 mana 10/10's and 4 mana 7/7's so anything is possible. The biggest obstacle is to actually draw the cards from your deck.
Other reactions I have to this set is that Paladin can be a rather durable class to begin with, and adding this could make him very difficult to kill if at all. I feel like it still needs more drawbacks however, so that its not simply an auto-include card in every paladin deck. Maybe not even something inherently negative, just more situational.
Maybe he only activates if he's the highest cost minion in your deck? Or as someone else suggested, only able to be activated if he's in your hand.
I really like the artwork and thought you've put into this. Looks like you've clearly given it a lot of thought.
sorry if i came off as blunt with critiquing, i just like to get across what i think should be fixed and why with cards I like. I do love your card, its dripping with a lot of flavor, and its really true to the lore of the lich king. (atrthas discovering frostmourne, leading to the lich king).

The Idea of Arthas Menethil adding a Frostmourne to your deck that then makes the Lich King is cool as hell! Fits really well with the lore.
Your Lich king is a bit too wordy though - a general rule of HS-cards is that the text is as simple as possible. (maybe replace it with something like: ''when your hero dies replace it with the Lich King'')
Also i think you should make Frostmourne a 5/3 weapon instead. :)

So Ashbringer Stats? Its interesting concept, and its honestly probably better if has fewer charges, since you only shuffle the Lich King into your deck once the weapon is destroyed. Good Suggestion

This Legedary minion has weapon
And here are hero powers

also i think you could MAYBE (get a second opinion, I am not sure at all) lower the durability of Frostmorne by 1. Again, I'm not sure on that one.

I have been praying for an Arthas Menethil hero for paladin for sooo long definitely my favorite card of these!

Wow.. I didn't expect such positive reacts, thanks!
First .. original idea takes about six hours to devise, second something about four hours.
"The Lich King takes fatal damage insteed of you." - this sentence could be there but then it will be more wordy.
I guess 4/4 weapon is fine, because enemy can spawn Ooze or paladin can replace weapon and it triggers deathrattle. And what about this Hero Power
It is maybe too overpowered.
Mine not to understand this words. Mine want yours to explain.
All cards are balanced, but some cards are more balanced than others.
