Ladies and Gentleorcs, Taurens and Gnomes, I present to you... my Undead Expansion!
The biggest new feature of this expansion is the introduction of a new race: the terrible (smelling) undead! Not only will certain old cards be modified to have the Undead tag, but this expansion brings many, many new undead to the scene! These cards have many new synergies, and more than a few of them are from the terrible Scourge! Here's a few samples of the Scourge's legion:
The average, dime-a-dozen Scourge grunt. Feed and water daily, bathe on weekends.
Both the Scourge and the living alike tremble, when they hear the quaking footsteps of this monstrosity approaching.
All he wants to do is pick flowers. He never signed up for this.
"We're baaa-aaack!"
Please do not flirt with the Val'kyr. Trust me - you don't want to see what's under the armor.
Oh, but it's not just skeletons and abominations, folks! The scourge have recruited a powerful ally: the Nerubians! These powerful, insectoid undead come in many shapes and sizes, to fit anyone's needs!
D'awww he's adora- OH GOD I'M CHOKING TO DEATH
The Nerubians feed by wrapping up their prey in tight cocoons of webbing, then suck the juices out of the webbed victim. Like a jelly donut - only way grosser.
The Nerubians are the only beings on Azeroth who can craft with their own poison - mainly because it burns anything without an exoskeleton.
In the name of the matriarch, the larvae, and the holy mosquito...
Relax, he's like fifty yards away... there's no way he could - OH GOD MY EYES
with token:
If you manage to take this guy down, don't forget to pick up a complimentary chitin sword on your way to the next raid boss!
And it's not just the Undead, folks! This expansion promises many new cards, as well as the undead cards! Here's a couple of these brand new cards:
Yes. Even a totem. How does THAT work?!
Druids took a leaf out of the Warlocks' tome with this minion.
Ow! Hey! Quit it! Those lightning bolts hurt!
And finally, a powerful legendary, whom you'll probably recognize...
The Lich King's favorite Frostwyrm. There's still a food bowl in Icecrown Citadel with her name on it...
Want more? Give it an upvote, and I'll show you more cards - including a certain king I'm sure you'll love!
BALANCE CHANGES LIST:
11/18: Nerubian Juggernaut's Mana upped from 6 to 7. Nerubian Webspinner is now a 4/3 instead of a 4/4. Plagued Bear modified to a 4 mana 3/4.
11/23: Restore Balance Mana upped from 0 to 1. Scourge Harvester's effect is now a Deathrattle instead of a Battlecry.
And now we get to the interesting stuff! Here is part 1 of the neutral cards! Yes, part 1. I sort of went overboard with the Neutrals, so I separated them into two parts. We'll get to part 2 later, don't fret, but for now, here's part 1!
Common:
Spooky scary skeletal serpents send shivers down your spine.
6751 Undead... 6752 Undead... 6753 Undead...
You ever wonder where all those dragon mounts come from? Well now you know.
No, that is in fact NOT Ghaz'rilla.
What is that?! WHAT THE HECK IS THAT?!
"Thestral" is just a fancy name for "Zombie-Bat-Horse".
Dun-unt... Dun-unt...
Pocket sand!
These creatures are infamous for lurking just below the icy water's surface and attacking unsuspecting fishers.
With Token:
I wonder if the fish are biting today?
Go green, or he'll get pissed.
Those are actually giant fangs, not carrots.
Worst. Internship. Ever.
With token:
Is it cold in here, or is it just him?
Do you have ANY idea how hard it is to find an intact dragon skeleton to reanimate?!
Even the Undead hate getting Booster shots...
Bubble, bubble, toil and trouble...
She sings Scandinavian death metal on her weekends off.
Rare:
See that little thing out of the corner of your eye? That's this minion.
Flying laser whales do battle with giant robot bears and mutant space gorillas.
Gnome mages are squishy, but also nutritious!
Why would you need to guard totems? Thrall buys them a dime a dozen.
This is what Azure drakes look like when they don't put their makeup on in the morning.
"You think you can boss me around, just because you have +1/+1 over me?!"
One fish, two fish, red fish - OH GOD A SHARK
Necromancers get a bad rap. Just because they raise the dead doesn't mean they can't be stand-up members of society!
Nope nope nope nope NOOOOOOPE
Epics:
If you even have a splinter, he deems you guilty.
Leeet's dooo the tiiime waaarp agaaaaaaain!
"Paladin" is really just another word for "jack-of-all-trades".
He does lunges at the gym all the time!
Ohhh, your other minions are gonna HATE you for this...
"Charge forward!" Ahh, brings back memories, don't it?
And a Legendary to tide you over:
Darion was one of the first among the Scourge to realize, "hey - maybe slaughtering everything isn't very nice..."
Part two coming soon, and maybe even part 3 if necessary!
Gotcha, thanks for feedback, I will take them into consideration. (Though the bit about Nerubians not being Undead kind of throws a wrench into my plans...)
cool concept but costs are unbalanced, 8 mana for a 1/7 dagger? maybe 4 mana....
It looks weak at first glance, but think about it: Rogue has multiple ways to increase her weapon's damage. If she splashes even a Deadly Poison onto this dagger when its at full durability, that's a total of 21 damage, split in increments of 3. Imagine if she got multiple buffs on it! Honestly, I should have made it even more expensive.
Mkay well I never read wowpedia that much and In Arthas book there was nothing about killing and ressurecting nerubians (or I dont remember anything :D ) but ok its your expansion and I hope that you will nerf that shaman spell just to keep balance in universe and keep shaman dead aswell :D
Either you don't remember, or you've never played WoW ;3
Cool cards, but most are way too low cost for great effects with no drawback.
"Nerubians are an ancient race of highly intelligent arachnoids." from wowpedia to be 100% sure. ;)
Nerubians are a race of insects that pretty much ruled Northrend since it's been created after the world...Well...Split apart. Then, when the Lich King came, there was the War of the Spider(s ? I don't remember ) which was a 10 years war between the Lich King and them, the LK's main problem being the Nerubians' minds were utterly impenetrable to his powers ( Unlike less evolved creatures of Northrend like trolls and wildlife ) and he had to kill them before he could raise them as his minions. From there the Nerubians dug tunnels all over ( Or rather under ) Northrend and attacked him from everywhere, never facing his armies of undead head-on.
The LK then managed to locate their cities and attacked them en masse, finally putting an end to their guerilla warfare ; It still took time for them to progress through the immense underground kingdoms, but as the Nerubians dugged deeper, they awakaned servitors of an Old God and got attacked from 2 fronts, eventually losing the war against the LK. Then they were almost all raised into undeath to Ner'Zhul's service, and in testament to their might and once great empire, he adopted their architecture ( The whole Naxxrammas look ).
So yeah, Nerubians technically aren't all undead, but an immense majority are.
All right, Neutrals part 2! Time for a crapton of legendaries! First, though, a few more non-legends:
Common:
The average, dime-a-dozen Scourge grunt. Feed and water daily, bathe on weekends.
All he wants to do is pick flowers. He never signed up for this.
D'awww he's adora- OH GOD I'M CHOKING TO DEATH
The Nerubians feed by wrapping up their prey in tight cocoons of webbing, then suck the juices out of the webbed victim. Like a jelly donut - only way grosser.
with token:
If you manage to take this guy down, don't forget to pick up a complimentary chitin sword on your way to the next raid boss!
"Medic! My arm fell off again!"
Give her her personal space.
Who's an adorable spirit of death and vengeance? You are! You are!
Poor guy's been out of the job since Blackrock Spire fell.
Rare:
Relax, he's like fifty yards away... there's no way he could - OH GOD MY EYES
Don't underestimate the power of camouflage.
Run for your lives!
Who knew blood elves were such good mechanists?
Epics:
Both the Scourge and the living alike tremble, when they hear the quaking footsteps of this monstrosity approaching.
"We're baaa-aaack!"
Please do not flirt with the Val'kyr. Trust me - you don't want to see what's under the armor.
Yes. Even a totem. How does THAT work?!
Pay him enough, and he'll kill ANYONE.
Now THAT is a face only a mother could love.
Good day sir. Can you spare a moment to talk about our lord and savior Ysera?
And finally, the Legendaries, complete with summoning animations and quotes!
The "Citadel Courier" gossips that she's going out with Blood Prince Taldaram.
Animation: Red tendrils connect to all enemy minions from Lana'thel. They dissapear, and Lanathel appears to briefly enrage as she gains their lost health.
Opener: "Oh... you smell... delicious..."
Attack: "More blood, for the blood queen!"
King of the Vy'krul, and three-time winner of the "Northrend's best beard" competition.

Opener: "Feeling a little... cold?"
Attack: "Freeze."
Death: "Winter... is over..."
This guy brings new meaning to the term, "plague doctor".
Animation: Nathanos emits a green version of Loatheb's smoke, and all other minion portraits gain a sickly green hue.
Opener: "Do you feel it? Crawling in your veins..."
Attack: "This will only hurt... a lot."
Death: "My work... lives on..."
With token:
Teron is very generous, loaning out his weapon like that!
Animation: A modified version of the Dreadsteed's respawn animation - this one black, and with a visible rider.
Opener: "The cavalry arrives!"
Attack: "Draw and quarter the lot of them!"
In life, Godfrey hated the Undead. In death, he hates them even more.

Opener: "You undead filth will find no mercy from me!"
Attack: "Another target!"
Death: "Damn... you..."
Arthas' insurmountable steed, and one of the hardest mounts to get in World of Warcraft.
Animation: A combination of Icehowl's animation, and Ammenar's Snowstorm Animation.
Opener: *Spectral Neigh*
Attack: *Charging hooves*
Death: *Despairing whinny*
With Token:
No one remembers this guy, so he's really bitter.

Opener: "You will die in crippling agony, mortal!"
Attack: "Cursed Wretch!"
Death: "It is too late..."
Does this ship EVER run out of fuel?
Animation: Basically the same as Aviana's, only with a massive propeller under the minion instead of a trail of feathers. Spears shoot out of the minion while it's flying, and strike the Taunted minions, destroying them.
Opener: (human voice) "Targets broadside! Fire weapons!"
Attack: "Full speed ahead!"
Death: "Mayday, mayday! GOING DOWN!"
Death animation: The Skybreaker explodes in a blast of flame and smoke.
"Do you think it has enough guns?" - an average goblin.
Animation: Same as the Skybreaker's. Triggered effect is the same as Ragnaros', only with the Ship's Cannon's sound effect.
Opener: (orc's voice) "Fire all weapons! Fire, FIRE!"
Attack: "RAMMING SPEEEED!"
Death: "Bail out, BAIL OUT!"
Death animation: The same explosion as the Skybreaker's death animation.
She's a real Ice Queen.
Animation: Ice Lances appear from all corners of the screen, converging on a single point and exploding to reveal Lady Deathwhisper.
Opener: "You shall go no further!"
Attack: "Freeze them where they stand!"
Death: "My power lives on..."
The Lich King's favorite Frostwyrm. There's still a food bowl in Icecrown Citadel with her name on it...
Animation: Nefarian's flying animation swoops over the board, and Sindragosa falls from the sky like King Krush. As she impacts, the enemy minions freeze.
Opener: *Screeching roar*
Attack: *Bellow*
Death Animation: A frost nova emits from Sindragosa's place of death, and all frozen minions are destroyed.
The poor guy's only remembered for one line of dialogue.
Animation: A skull appears and chatters, before disappearing to reveal Marrowgar.
Opener: "This is the beginning, AND the end!"
Attack: "Cut your bones!"
Death: "BOOONE STOOOOOORM!"
Death animation: Bones circle around the board, damaging enemy characters.
And finally, the king himself! Give it up for The Lich King, everybody!
Entry Animation: Snowstorm flows across screen, Frostmourne falls and slams into the board Thaurissan-style, and the drop of "Arthas, My Son" plays: "Karanir Thanagor!" With each syllable of this last chant, a minion crawls up from under the board, Kel'thuzad-style.
Entry quote: "You have been a thorn in my side for far... too... long."
Entry quote versus Jaina: "Jaina... You had your chance to join me."
Entry quote versus Uther: "Uther... How's your retirement going? (chuckle)"
Attack quote: "APOCALYPSE!"
Death quote: "I see... only darkness... before me..."
And that's all, folks! Thank you for taking the time to review my expansion! I had a lot of fun making it and -
...What's this? It appears I've left a spare card in my back pocket! ...well, it surely isn't that important...
HOLY SHIT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
Looks like Bolvar didn't win the Loot Roll after all.
Animation: Frost covers your hero portrait. The helm rises into the air, and slams down onto your hero - there is a white flash, and your hero is replaced with...
Your hero power is replaced, and you gain a new weapon. The new hero power is:
Which causes two of these guys to crawl up:
And if that wasn't enough, you also equip the infamous...
Can't be destroyed, can't be replaced, infinite durability, one-hit kill and lifesteal. I think that's worth the price of your soul, don't you think?
And, best of all, the Lich King comes with his own set of custom emotes!
When Helm is first played: (Your original hero) "Witness the power of the Scourge!"
Greetings: "The end has come."
Well Played: "Amusing."
Thanks: "Appreciated."
Sorry: "Oh, too bad..."
Oops: "That was intentional."
Threaten: "You will scream for all eternity."
Running out of cards: "My legion is nearly depleted."
Out of cards: "If you want a job done right..."
Out of cards with The Lich King at the bottom of your deck: "Just as planned."
Attacking without a weapon: "Frostmourne... WHERE IS FROSTMOURNE?!"
Invalid option: "Impossible."
Taunt Minion in the way: "A snowflake challenges the Blizzard."
In addition, several cards respond to the Lich King hero, like Cairne and Vol'jin respond to Garrosh.
Tirion Fordring: "Champion! I must purge you once and for all!"
Bolvar Fordragon: "Come out, coward, and ANSWER for your crimes!"
Lich King (minion): "That's unusual."
Nozdormu: "This is not your destiny, hero!"
Darion Mograine: "You LIED to me!"
Also, most Undead Legendaries will shout "Glory to the Scourge!" when played against the Lich King.
the helm of domination is retardedly OP, especially frostmourne, it would be a bit more balanced if it didnt summon frostmourne and instead it gives you the weapon as a card or if it would at least freeze your hero
Ladies and Gentleorcs, Taurens and Gnomes, I present to you... my Undead Expansion!
The biggest new feature of this expansion is the introduction of a new race: the terrible (smelling) undead! Not only will certain old cards be modified to have the Undead tag, but this expansion brings many, many new undead to the scene! These cards have many new synergies, and more than a few of them are from the terrible Scourge! Here's a few samples of the Scourge's legion:
The average, dime-a-dozen Scourge grunt. Feed and water daily, bathe on weekends.
Both the Scourge and the living alike tremble, when they hear the quaking footsteps of this monstrosity approaching.
All he wants to do is pick flowers. He never signed up for this.
"We're baaa-aaack!"
Please do not flirt with the Val'kyr. Trust me - you don't want to see what's under the armor.
Oh, but it's not just skeletons and abominations, folks! The scourge have recruited a powerful ally: the Nerubians! These powerful, insectoid undead come in many shapes and sizes, to fit anyone's needs!
D'awww he's adora- OH GOD I'M CHOKING TO DEATH
The Nerubians feed by wrapping up their prey in tight cocoons of webbing, then suck the juices out of the webbed victim. Like a jelly donut - only way grosser.
The Nerubians are the only beings on Azeroth who can craft with their own poison - mainly because it burns anything without an exoskeleton.
In the name of the matriarch, the larvae, and the holy mosquito...
Relax, he's like fifty yards away... there's no way he could - OH GOD MY EYES
with token:
If you manage to take this guy down, don't forget to pick up a complimentary chitin sword on your way to the next raid boss!
And it's not just the Undead, folks! This expansion promises many new cards, as well as the undead cards! Here's a couple of these brand new cards:
Yes. Even a totem. How does THAT work?!
Druids took a leaf out of the Warlocks' tome with this minion.
Ow! Hey! Quit it! Those lightning bolts hurt!
And finally, a powerful legendary, whom you'll probably recognize...

In any case, Shaman cards here, emphasis on spell power and overload:
Common:
Hey! Gimme those crystals back!
This'll only hurt for a second.
Don't cast this alongside Feral Spirit. Trust me.
Elemental Shamans can't summon lightning or raise volcanoes - they can only enhance their weapons. They're kinda dumb like that.

The Nerubians are the only beings on Azeroth who can craft with their own poison - mainly because it burns anything without an exoskeleton.

She does good work, but she demands a HUGE salary.

Epics:
He's VERY good at his job.
They can take our lives, but they can never take... OUR BUFFS THAT PERSIST THROUGH DEATH!

Warlock cards: Emphasis on Demons and the Undead.

...Or my Custom Elemental Expansion!
All right, final two classes! Let's see 'em!
Priest cards! Emphasis on healing and dealing (damage)!

And now we get to the interesting stuff! Here is part 1 of the neutral cards! Yes, part 1. I sort of went overboard with the Neutrals, so I separated them into two parts. We'll get to part 2 later, don't fret, but for now, here's part 1!
Common:
Spooky scary skeletal serpents send shivers down your spine.
6751 Undead... 6752 Undead... 6753 Undead...

Those are actually giant fangs, not carrots.

Gotcha, thanks for feedback, I will take them into consideration. (Though the bit about Nerubians not being Undead kind of throws a wrench into my plans...)
Check out my Custom Undead Expansion!
...Or my Custom Elemental Expansion!
Yeah, well, I read further down Wowpedia and found, "All the spiderlords, and the last king of the Nerubians, Anub'arak, were killed and later resurrected by the Lich King after the War of the Spider, and they became Crypt lords of the Scourge." In addition, "Undead nerubians are usually under control of the Scourge and are known as crypt fiends (in the case of most nerubians) and crypt lords (undead spiderlords)."
I'll probably just keep them listed as Undead, if only because it would be a pain in the ass to change them all.
Check out my Custom Undead Expansion!
...Or my Custom Elemental Expansion!
cool concept but costs are unbalanced, 8 mana for a 1/7 dagger? maybe 4 mana....
It looks weak at first glance, but think about it: Rogue has multiple ways to increase her weapon's damage. If she splashes even a Deadly Poison onto this dagger when its at full durability, that's a total of 21 damage, split in increments of 3. Imagine if she got multiple buffs on it! Honestly, I should have made it even more expensive.

All right, Neutrals part 2! Time for a crapton of legendaries! First, though, a few more non-legends:
Common:
The average, dime-a-dozen Scourge grunt. Feed and water daily, bathe on weekends.
All he wants to do is pick flowers. He never signed up for this.
D'awww he's adora- OH GOD I'M CHOKING TO DEATH
The Nerubians feed by wrapping up their prey in tight cocoons of webbing, then suck the juices out of the webbed victim. Like a jelly donut - only way grosser.
with token:
If you manage to take this guy down, don't forget to pick up a complimentary chitin sword on your way to the next raid boss!
"Medic! My arm fell off again!"
Give her her personal space.
Who's an adorable spirit of death and vengeance? You are! You are!
Poor guy's been out of the job since Blackrock Spire fell.
Rare:
Relax, he's like fifty yards away... there's no way he could - OH GOD MY EYES
Don't underestimate the power of camouflage.
Run for your lives!
Who knew blood elves were such good mechanists?
Epics:
Both the Scourge and the living alike tremble, when they hear the quaking footsteps of this monstrosity approaching.
"We're baaa-aaack!"
Please do not flirt with the Val'kyr. Trust me - you don't want to see what's under the armor.
Yes. Even a totem. How does THAT work?!
Pay him enough, and he'll kill ANYONE.
Now THAT is a face only a mother could love.
Good day sir. Can you spare a moment to talk about our lord and savior Ysera?
And finally, the Legendaries, complete with summoning animations and quotes!
The "Citadel Courier" gossips that she's going out with Blood Prince Taldaram.
Animation: Red tendrils connect to all enemy minions from Lana'thel. They dissapear, and Lanathel appears to briefly enrage as she gains their lost health.
Opener: "Oh... you smell... delicious..."
Attack: "More blood, for the blood queen!"
King of the Vy'krul, and three-time winner of the "Northrend's best beard" competition.
Animation: The "Taunt" sound effect plays, as a ram-horned helmet briefly appears over Ymiron and your hero.
Opener: "They vy'krul will NEVER yield to ANYONE!"
Attack: "Bleed and die!"
Kel'thuzad's penniless cousin, he has to live in the Razorfen Downs with the quillboar.
Animation: Snow flies across the field, and all minions are frozen.
Opener: "Feeling a little... cold?"
Attack: "Freeze."
Death: "Winter... is over..."
This guy brings new meaning to the term, "plague doctor".
Animation: Nathanos emits a green version of Loatheb's smoke, and all other minion portraits gain a sickly green hue.
Opener: "Do you feel it? Crawling in your veins..."
Attack: "This will only hurt... a lot."
Death: "My work... lives on..."
With token:
Teron is very generous, loaning out his weapon like that!
Animation: A modified version of the Dreadsteed's respawn animation - this one black, and with a visible rider.
Opener: "The cavalry arrives!"
Attack: "Draw and quarter the lot of them!"
In life, Godfrey hated the Undead. In death, he hates them even more.
Animation: A combination of the Rogue's Fan of Knives animation, and the Warlock's Darkbomb animation, where black orbs strike all enemy Undead on the field and destroy them.
Opener: "You undead filth will find no mercy from me!"
Attack: "Another target!"
Death: "Damn... you..."
Arthas' insurmountable steed, and one of the hardest mounts to get in World of Warcraft.
Animation: A combination of Icehowl's animation, and Ammenar's Snowstorm Animation.
Opener: *Spectral Neigh*
Attack: *Charging hooves*
Death: *Despairing whinny*
With Token:
No one remembers this guy, so he's really bitter.
Animation: Arrives from above the screen like the ejected drop from a piloted shredder, only he appears on black wings instead of a parachute.
Opener: "You will die in crippling agony, mortal!"
Attack: "Cursed Wretch!"
Death: "It is too late..."
Does this ship EVER run out of fuel?
Animation: Basically the same as Aviana's, only with a massive propeller under the minion instead of a trail of feathers. Spears shoot out of the minion while it's flying, and strike the Taunted minions, destroying them.
Opener: (human voice) "Targets broadside! Fire weapons!"
Attack: "Full speed ahead!"
Death: "Mayday, mayday! GOING DOWN!"
Death animation: The Skybreaker explodes in a blast of flame and smoke.
"Do you think it has enough guns?" - an average goblin.
Animation: Same as the Skybreaker's. Triggered effect is the same as Ragnaros', only with the Ship's Cannon's sound effect.
Opener: (orc's voice) "Fire all weapons! Fire, FIRE!"
Attack: "RAMMING SPEEEED!"
Death: "Bail out, BAIL OUT!"
Death animation: The same explosion as the Skybreaker's death animation.
She's a real Ice Queen.
Animation: Ice Lances appear from all corners of the screen, converging on a single point and exploding to reveal Lady Deathwhisper.
Opener: "You shall go no further!"
Attack: "Freeze them where they stand!"
Death: "My power lives on..."
The Lich King's favorite Frostwyrm. There's still a food bowl in Icecrown Citadel with her name on it...
Animation: Nefarian's flying animation swoops over the board, and Sindragosa falls from the sky like King Krush. As she impacts, the enemy minions freeze.
Opener: *Screeching roar*
Attack: *Bellow*
Death Animation: A frost nova emits from Sindragosa's place of death, and all frozen minions are destroyed.
The poor guy's only remembered for one line of dialogue.
Animation: A skull appears and chatters, before disappearing to reveal Marrowgar.
Opener: "This is the beginning, AND the end!"
Attack: "Cut your bones!"
Death: "BOOONE STOOOOOORM!"
Death animation: Bones circle around the board, damaging enemy characters.
And finally, the king himself! Give it up for The Lich King, everybody!
Entry Animation: Snowstorm flows across screen, Frostmourne falls and slams into the board Thaurissan-style, and the drop of "Arthas, My Son" plays: "Karanir Thanagor!" With each syllable of this last chant, a minion crawls up from under the board, Kel'thuzad-style.
Entry quote: "You have been a thorn in my side for far... too... long."
Entry quote versus Jaina: "Jaina... You had your chance to join me."
Entry quote versus Uther: "Uther... How's your retirement going? (chuckle)"
Attack quote: "APOCALYPSE!"
Death quote: "I see... only darkness... before me..."
And that's all, folks! Thank you for taking the time to review my expansion! I had a lot of fun making it and -
...What's this? It appears I've left a spare card in my back pocket! ...well, it surely isn't that important...
HOLY SHIT IT IS VERY IMPORTANT
Looks like Bolvar didn't win the Loot Roll after all.
Animation: Frost covers your hero portrait. The helm rises into the air, and slams down onto your hero - there is a white flash, and your hero is replaced with...
Your hero power is replaced, and you gain a new weapon. The new hero power is:
Which causes two of these guys to crawl up:
And if that wasn't enough, you also equip the infamous...
Can't be destroyed, can't be replaced, infinite durability, one-hit kill and lifesteal. I think that's worth the price of your soul, don't you think?
And, best of all, the Lich King comes with his own set of custom emotes!
When Helm is first played: (Your original hero) "Witness the power of the Scourge!"
Greetings: "The end has come."
Well Played: "Amusing."
Thanks: "Appreciated."
Sorry: "Oh, too bad..."
Oops: "That was intentional."
Threaten: "You will scream for all eternity."
Running out of cards: "My legion is nearly depleted."
Out of cards: "If you want a job done right..."
Out of cards with The Lich King at the bottom of your deck: "Just as planned."
Attacking without a weapon: "Frostmourne... WHERE IS FROSTMOURNE?!"
Invalid option: "Impossible."
Taunt Minion in the way: "A snowflake challenges the Blizzard."
In addition, several cards respond to the Lich King hero, like Cairne and Vol'jin respond to Garrosh.
Tirion Fordring: "Champion! I must purge you once and for all!"
Bolvar Fordragon: "Come out, coward, and ANSWER for your crimes!"
Lich King (minion): "That's unusual."
Nozdormu: "This is not your destiny, hero!"
Darion Mograine: "You LIED to me!"
Also, most Undead Legendaries will shout "Glory to the Scourge!" when played against the Lich King.
Thanks again for checking out my expansion!

the helm of domination is retardedly OP, especially frostmourne, it would be a bit more balanced if it didnt summon frostmourne and instead it gives you the weapon as a card or if it would at least freeze your hero
The necromancer's flavor text should be:
Why all the hate on necromancers? Can't a guy just raise a family in peace?
