People voting meta-defining for the card being the The Lich King...HYPE!
It is playable for sure but I feel like this is the one card that would benefit more if it didn't have taunt. I personally use The Black Knight in many decks(control mostly) and according to the lore The Black Knight is supposed to be an underling to Arthas. What kind of an underling gets to obliterate his "master" so easily?
Also some care is to be given in Arena,..if Paladin has The Lich King as one more great choice to choose from Stonehill Defender then it is to be expected that he will stomp over the rest of the heroes. Paladin is already in a great spot both in Arena and constructed.
For me, it is boring to be seeing nothing but Mage after 7 wins. I don't see why Mage should be replaced by Paladin(not implying that I like things the way they are right now). It would be nice to see a bit more variety in high wins.
Except he's not a better Ysera and Ironbark is complete shit in a ramp class.
I think he is, but as of yet, no one really knows. I am looking forward to putting this debate to rest though, not because I don't like to debate, I love it. Just that I really want to fucking play this xpac!!
Is it just me or Lich King's card aren't as impactful as expected ?
I mean of course if he lives to give you many cards you win the game, but if an 8 8 lives that long you would win the game anyway .
Many times when you are behind and you hope for lich to give something you need it's not usually that impactful . For a comparison Y sera's dream cards are usually better in fighting for the board .
I got 7 legendaries and a heap of dust yesterday so I crafted Lich King. Not sure if he will be any good, but you can't have the Frozen Throne without him.

Has he won a game for anyone yet?
I have won 20/20 games when my enemy has played lich King with my raza/kazakuz/anduin-dk ❤️
Hahaha! So he's OP AF then? Damn. Seems too inconsistent to be run in a competitive deck. I guess some control decks can afford to run him.
I'd love to comment on his effectiveness but after putting him in almost every deck for the last 48 hours, I've not been able to play him once, either from bad draws or from it being a bad play at the time. Pretty much what I predicted. Arfus has been far more useful, being a beast with deathrattle 4 drop, he fits into a lot more decks and actually gets used.
Trash -- dies to BGH.
But seriously, it's not a Dr. 8 by any means. It's probably best to give his DK cards some serious thought before you include him.

THis is 100% a Doctor 8. He's a better Ysera stapled onto an Ironbark Protector.
HA! You all think this is strictly better than Ironbark Protector?
You're WRONG!
Because it doesn't die to Rend Blackhand! =)
The secret origins of The Lich King
I've had loads of success keeping Ysera on board for 3+ turns, multiple times. I see no reason this card wouldn't have similar results.
Frostmourne should be a legendary.
Aren't all the cards he makes Legendary because he himself is?

biggest doubt:
8 death cards vs 5 ysera dream cards.
more Rng, more chance of not getting the best card given the game situation.
Im seeing a few decks with black knight and good old Big Game Hunter in them now, Lich king is that good it needs a tech card.
