I've been arguing about which are better: Ysera's Dream Cards or The Lich King's Death Knight Cards
Their stats are quite different and, while having taunt and being an 8/8 makes The Lich King more powerful, it's also easier to kill, while Ysera tends to last longer on the board. But the idea is to focus on the cards they give you.
Let's see Dream: Nightmare, Dream, Ysera Awakens, Laughing Sister and Emerald Drake.
And Death Knight: Death Grip, Death Coil, Obliterate, Death and Decay, Anti-Magic Shell, Doom Pact, Army of the Dead and Frostmourne.
I like more DK because I feel they adapt better different situations, and a couple are really powerful, but some of them are quite bad and you just keep having them on your hand. Dream are more powerful on a common level, probably being Laughing Sister the worst, but nothing really stands out.
Which ones do you think are better?
In all honesty I see them as equal.
It's also worth to note that The Lich King is more versatile, but Ysera is a dragon.
I feel dream cards are better most of the time. They are immediate and powerful effects that can be played the following turn without much drawback.
Deathknight cards are entirely situational and depending on the deck and matchups could be either game winning or useless.
Overall, DK cards are less consistent than dream cards. So I would pick dream cards.
Army of the dead? I've never seen that card before?!
Be grateful...
It's this one btw:
The Lich King has more dud cards in its pool. But Lich king being 8 mana means you can hero power with it on turn 10, whereas Ysera usually leaves you floating 1 mana. And of course, Lich has taunt which makes it way better defensively.
Lich King cards are more powerful but situational.
lol, so the problem is with my Lich King. It looks like more "at the end of your turn, put an Army of the dead on your hand"
Ysera seems to have more well rounded cards. LK is more hit or miss. Getting an anti magic shell with minions on board is huge....Death Grip.. not so much.
It is also worth noting that DK cards are considered a different Class and work in Tess Rogue decks. Dream cards are considered neutrals and do not.
I find the lich king's cards to be very dependant on the deck you're playing. He's become more useful since I started playing even shaman, for instance, as army of the dead can be a powerful card, as well as shell. Ysera's cards are always useful.
Dream Cards are mostly way stronger then Death Knight cards since most of them are terrible in certain decks. I would always go for Ysera but The Lich King is a 8 Mana 8/8 with taunt... which is way better than Ysera in terms of stats.
There's definitely a relationship the between Ysera and The Lich King that's worth exploring...
The fact is, the Lich King is one of the most played legendaries, where as Ysera is not.
Well the meta is full of cancerous aggro decks and The Lich King is a 8 Mana 8/8 taunt minion with good value.
Ysera with taunt would be insane.
Ysera has a bigger body that deploys big minions and powerful swing or disruptive spells, it's a card that wins you a game if it stays longer, has greater survivability than Lich King.
While Lich King just maintains board control well with his taunt and has aggressive tools to control the board. It becomes online faster than Ysera.
Ysera is a win more card with nice power in late game, while Lich King is looking to maintain his board control.
I personally like Ysera, but Lich King can do a big job especially if you're lucky to get what you needed.
I like elementals and totems.
Plus, 8 manas vs 9 manas is the line between victory or lose in many matchs.
Lich King for 9 manas will see very litlle play, Ysera for 8 will be a must have in any non-aggro deck.
Death Grip stealing Hadronox is huge
