Some people are complaining about the reveals so far not being too meta-changing.
I thought it would be really cool if the Lich King legendary (Arthas presumably) would singe-handedly act like a wincon to create a big meta impact. For example if he gained a buff for every deathrattle played during the game, wether it be a stat, effect or even "battlecry: every deathrattle that has been triggered this game".
Would you like to see something like that? Does it infringe too much on Old Gods design?
Dont want him to be a card tbh just cause he'd have to be too op and would ruin my love for the character, if you get what i mean... I just think that it's not necessary to have him.
If the Lich King himself will be a card, then it should not be an auto-inclued in all decks otherwise it will just become another Dr. Boom and that will be "boring". Probably I would prefer that it will not be a card at all, too iconic for everyone.
Well let him be a legendary that somehow buffs every DK hero card. So it will fit to any class deck with DK hero card inside and everything seems logical.
And it is not insta-include in decks without DK hero cards.
He should be a card. Even Deathwing has a card and he's stronger than Arthas lore-wise. I think it is possible to make a balanced card out of Arthas. Off topic but, so many expansions and adventures but we're yet to see a card for Kil'jaeden or Archimonde. I'd like to see them as cards too.
I'd like the Lich King to be like Reno. Not mechanically, but how you had to build/play a deck around him. A character like that shouldn't just be an auto-include.

I disrespectfully disagree. A card-to-build-around should be really exceptional and original in it's design, archetype-defining even, not just a good card.
Why does everyone assume the Lich King legendary will be Arthas and not Nerzhul? Nezhul was the Lich King for the vast majority of the storyline. Yes, Arthas is the boss you face in the Icecrown Citadel, but we never get the chance in the Hearthstone storyline because all the heroes are enslaved as Deathknights instead.

Because a Lich King card is a billion times more marketable. Let's not act like lore has any place in Hearthstone.
The risk is if he's a build around and the deck doesn't work then he falls flat and never sees play. I'd rather see something like Sylvanas, a really solid legendary but not necessarily in ever deck like dr. Boom was

No, I'd just like him to be a STRONG 10 mana Legendary that can be played in several classes/decks and not just one.
I don't want it to be insta-include neither.
Has it actually been confirmed yet that we will get such a card?

For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
I'm almost guessing him as another hero card.

I wouldn't mind if it were an card that people would use to build decks around though.
Yes, and also a class card for paladin.

This is a crazy Idea that will probably not happen,
but I want the card to change depending on the hero you are Using/Facing,
Somewhat like how he silences anduin, and resurects all minions in the prolouge battle.
Crazy, but it would be very Fun!
1/1 1Mana Arthas Menethil
Charge
After you play a Deathrattle minion,
summon this minion
from your deck.
Nezhul was The Lich King. Arthas just bonded with him at the end of the storyline and took him over. Arthas was Nerzhul's slave for most of it.
I'm starting to get worried that the Lich King won't be a card.

i saw DR 7 even in face hunter
