At 4/12, Ysera is harder to remove; it'll soak up more damage and is in that sweet spot between power words pain and death.
Taunt is a double-edged sword here. Yes, it protects your face and other minions. It also means that it can't hide behind other taunts.
Ysera has more low-cost, easy to play effects. Ysera Wakens is also a bigger immediate swing than, on first glance, these seem to be.
Don't get me wrong ,this is still a really neat card.
he's still better than ysera, because Ysera also has a really low roll potential with laughing sister, while all of the 8 DK cards are completely busted, now THIS IS A CONTROL CARD.
Well, The Lich King certainly seems to be a card that lives up to the hype. 8 mana 8/8 Taunt is a solid statline and you're guaranteed 1 draw. Regardless of how the meta shapes up, it will be an auto-craft for me personally. I love Ysera and I'm going to love The Lich King.
Dr. 8 that will be played in everything except fast aggro decks, pbbly best card of expansion, yes, that's what Lich King deserves when he is printed as card.
They didn't put the flavour of this being a 6 HP minion instead they made him more power huh.. it should be a 6 HP minion to die to tirion and tirion surviving :/
Tirion is better most of the time :)
paladin will probably not run this but priests and warriors will, paladin will get it from stonehills.
Except priest cant deal with 4 attack ysera. This is easily removed with Shadow word and BGH. Lich would have been better with 4 attack and a beefy body.
Already a classic.
Taunt with the that effect
Actually good
Just getting that steal card and stealing a combo piece from their deck is good enough or stealing a tirion....
G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
G: Goblins V Gnomes , Old Gods, unguro
B: TGT, gadgetzan, Knights (Unreleased so MAYBE)

Ysera on steroids.

So this is why paladin got the Stonehill Defender nerf with that 1/1 divine shield taunt.
I've got the beast in my sight
This Lich King is insane! Will be played in every control and midrangedeck.
All Skill, No Luck
Better than Ysera in almost every single scenario.
Also huge buff to Stonehill Defender, I Know a Guy, Forbidden Shaping and Free From Amber.

good thing I didn't dust The Black Knight :P
BTW, I thought they dumped rag because it was impossible to make decent 8 drops?
Stone hill defender hype!
