Death Knights are arguably one of the most recognizable classes in World of Warcraft. It also is very unique in flavor and gameplay. What if it was transferred to Hearthstone? Well, here's my concept!
The Alternate Hero, Koltira Deathweaver, is unlocked through a special Achievement! These, which would be added whenever, would be viewable by clicking on a tab off of the side of the Quests button. I'll have a list of achievements at the BOTTOM of the thread, and potentially in an entirely new thread at some point.
Death Knights have a specific playstyle, revolving around VALUE. Not only are the cards packed with it, but even though most are late-game cards, the early-game ones are still strong.
EMOTES + EXTRAS:
Opening: Bow before the armies of the Scourge!
Opening (Mirror): The honor may be yours.
Opening (VS Uther):
Opening (VS Jaina):
Opening (VS Prince Arthas):
Response to The Lich King being played:
Response to Kel'Thuzad being played:
Response to Frost Lich Jaina/Uther of the Ebon Blade being played:
All other responses to cards are the same as in the Adventure boss.
Greetings: You dare challenge me? Come, then.
Wow: Truly amazing.
Thanks: I thank you, from the bottom of my- oh, forget that.
Sorry: My mistake, I suppose.
Threaten: Frostmourne hungers.
Well Played: A remarkable maneuver.
Oops: Alas, an error.
Attacking: Die!
Thinking:
Out of Time: The clock ticks.
Arena Selection: You've made a grave mistake.
Concede: You... Have... Already... Lost...
ACQUISITION:
As you likely know, each Class requires you to beat a mediocre at best boss to unlock. However, with Arthas, it's slightly more In-Depth. In fact, you have to do four whole encounters to unlock him, BUT there is an additional prize at the end.
For the first Three encounters, you fight as:
His Deck is:
Boss 1: Kel'Thuzad
Kel'Thuzad's Deck:
Special Cards:
Emotes:
Boss 2: Stratholme
Stratholme doesn't have a deck, but it doesn't fatigue either. The way the fight works is you simply have to beat down the Citizens and damage Stratholme.
Emotes
Boss 3: Mal'Ganis
When the fight starts, Arthas equips Frostmourne (see the Classic Set) and starts with a four 2/2 Silver Hand Recruits. To combat this, Mal'ganis starts at a hefty 10 Mana and 9 Cards. Ouch!
Mal'Ganis' Deck:
His Starting Hand:
Emotes:
Boss 4: Terenas Menethil
Against Terenas Menethil, your hero becomes fully corrupt. You are now cursed by Frostmourne, and have become the greatest Death Knight ever created. This means your deck changes, too! You become the NEW Arthas Menethil, with his Hero Power too. You also start with Frostmourne (see the Classic Set). To combat this, much like the last fight, Terenas starts at (3) Mana. To combat THIS, and as a testament of Strength, Arthas' cards cost (2) less.
Arthas' Deck (60 Cards):
Terenas' Deck (60 Cards):
At the start of their turns, both players ALSO draws an extra card! When the game starts, Terenas' board consists of:
Special Cards:
Emotes:
Completing Terenas' fight will reward you with:
Release Schedule:
Basic Set:
Classic Set:
Naxxramas Set:
Goblins vs Gnomes Set:
I feel the need to clarify with Recycl-o-Tron 9000:
When a friendly minion dies, if it isn't a Mech, you gain a Mech. However, if it was a Mech that died, you add a Spare Part to your hand. This means this card can fit into a NON-Mech deck, since its effect is already really strong.
Blackrock Mountain Set:
The Grand Tournament Set:
League of Explorers Set:
Whispers of the Old Gods Set:
I'm going to reword Frost Strike soon - the way it's written, it doesn't make much sense. It should be "Deal 3 damage, then cast a random Plague from your hand." That way, you can not only deal 3 damage, but get a free Plague cast.
One Night in Karazhan Set:
Mean Streets of Gadgetzan Set:
Journey to Un'Goro Set:
Cards for my custom sets will be released eventually - Including Class Compendiums, The Fate of Azeroth, Legacy of the Warlords, Secrets of Ulduar, Venture into the Mists, and The Empire of the Hakkari (I realized Servitors of the Loa was already used - I'm a dumbass, and I might scrap this entirely). Speaking of which.... Expect Class Compendiums to receive the Death Knight by 9/10/2017!
Achievements:
Not every achievement would be listed in this, these are just some ideas.
The so-called Collector Card Back is simply a version of the Classic Card Back, with more animation to it. It's also more flashy in general.
You might be wondering, "What the fuck are Enchanted Hero Portraits?" Well, they're even cooler Golden Hero Portraits. They have special effects, but can be toggled:
Really nice emotes :D
Firstly I'd like to congratulate you on an excellently thought out idea, I had a fun half an hour thinking of potential synergies or decks. This leads me to certain hiccups, especially for aggro, though you suggest some good solutions the fundamental lack of vanilla or synergistic class draw would be a major problem (discounting the insane synergy with Cult Master), therefore might I suggest, 3 Mana Spell 'Draw a card for each ghoul in play.' or something like that.
Control on the other hand feels better rounded as there are more supportive neutral cards, like Doomsayer and Stonehill Defender (high chance to get Lich King) amongst others, in combination with the life drain and control tools (freezes and clears). However due to the fact that this means the late game could be (relatively) easily reached, I had hoped that there would be some C'Thun synergy cards, that being said, I took the opportunity to brainstorm and I came up with 8 Mana 5/9 'Taunt. Deathrattle: For each Ghoul that has died this game, add +1/+1 to C'thun (wherever it is). And a possible reward 5 Mana 4/5 'Battlecry: If your C'thun has more than 10 Attack, Cast Festering Wound on all enemy minions.'
One question though, would the '3/3 Abomination' have the same DR as the Abomination all-ready in the game?
Finally I would like to apologise for rambling and reiterate my congratulations on a well though out (reasonably) balanced nicely flavoured class idea. Good job!
