An insane legendary that will almost always return value. It will be serious competition for Dr. Boom, and it's a lot better than Cairne, but since it's a class card and costs one more I feel like it's balanced (although it would be ok if it's an 8 mana like Tirion). It's obviously made for control paladin, which nowadays isn't very dominant as it is very reactive and often struggles to pile up pressure early on when given tempo, so really bad against combo otk decks like patron. This poses a much faster, greater threat than Cairne and sticks around. Vulnerable to Polymorphs like most other legendaries, but is immune to BGH. Will make control paladin top tier again.
Arthas represents the defensive/control version of this card, while The Lich King is more aggressive as you can basically deal free damage off of the Undeads. One of the biggest advantage this card has over Cairne is it's flexibility, as you can switch between two minions using your hero power. You would want to keep both alive as long as possible. If either Arthas or Lich dies, you would basically end up with a flat 4/5 (or damaged) with no abilities.
I wanted to make a spell based on the paladin lore on Helm of Domination, where Bolvar sacrifices himself to imprison all the undead's soul inside his body, so this is what I came up with. I had a pretty hard time balancing this since the effect is obviously devastating. Again, this would be another control paladin card, which will help it deal with aggro and possibly giants like handlock. Debating whether or not if the Jailer should have taunt, though that seems a little too weak for the cost. As it stands, this card is a huge tempo swing card that could win you the game if it's followed up by belcher, even though it is completely fine to play this when your side of the board is empty (since the enemy won't have any minions the following turn anyways). MIGHT need to be nine or ten mana since you still hero power or 2-drop afterwards, which seems way too OP. Again, I had a really bad time balancing this, but I thought the mechanic was pretty cool so just went with it.
What do you guys think? (btw this is my first time creating cards so the cards might well end up either way too strong or way to weak)
I think you should take another crack at these. Arthas has so much text on his card I want to read it in bed by a lamp, maybe a chapter a night comfortably.

Here's my ideas for some new paladin cards, based on the lich king theme
Arthas Menethil

Fixed!
