We are coming down to the final days of the death knights. All but one of the DKs have had their time in the sun:
Warlock - just about every deck since KoFT release
Priest - strong enough to cause a nerf
Shaman - it was short, but evolve Shaman had its heyday
Mage - the DK is in every non-aggro mage deck out there
Rogue - a staple in Kingsbane when it was good, a staple in any non-aggro deck
Hunter - a must include in every Hunter deck
Paladin - after so much failure, we finally found a way to make OTK work
Druid - auto include in pretty much every deck
And that brings us to Scourgelord Garrosh, the only DK to never take off. The challenge: build the best DK Garrosh deck possible before the rotation! The Dk must be an integral part of the deck! 1-2-3 Go!
Actually Garrosh is one of the best DKs right now due to the fact that its hero power counters Odd Paladin and aggro in general...
Well, that makes sense, but HSreplay says it's only in 0.8% of decks right now. Others:
Jaina: 5.8%
Uther: 4.7%
Anduin: 9.6%
Gul'dan: 8.0%
Valeera: 2.0%
Thrall: 0.2%
Rexxar: 22%
Malf: 1.6%
Yeah, but you have to put those datas into the context of today's meta: Warrior is one of the least played classes, so it's obvious that Garrosh won't appear in a lot of decks overall.
You should consider instead the playrate of each DK in its own class

I wish you could look at card play rates over time on HSreplay. You would see a bump for DK Thrall during the evolve deck days. You would see the crash of Malf with the recent nerf. But, most of all, you would see a lack of DK Garrosh. It's just never been a popular card. It's the only DK that has never been in a major deck.
Hence the challenge: make DK Garrosh great one time before it's gone to wild forever! Beppe, you should submit a Pally stomping deck.
What's better, a hero power that adds a 2-mana whirlwind to your hand every turn....at a certain point in the game, or a hero power that gains 4 armor every turn, starting on turn 2?

Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey before destination.

I think the latter? That's why this challenge is challenging!
