This in Pirate Rogue with all that charge!

All of the DK hero cards will grant 5 armor, have a battlecry and change the hero power.  This was disclosed in the Eliose interview last week.  The casting cost will vary though.

What if DK Anduin just gives you a permanent Auchenai effect (hero power, spells, battlecries, everything)? That would be pretty nuts.

It's really hard to gauge the balance between this and something like Deathstalker Rexxar.

An interview confirmed that all the hero cards will grant 5 armor and have a battle cry.  The cost will vary though.

Priest in wild is going to out-value everyone.  Reno + Kazakus + Raza + Amara + N'Zoth + whatever this deathknight hero will be.  Hell, throw in the dragon package if you want.  As someone who mainly plays wild and also loves control (and has all those cards), I'm pretty excited for this.

FYI, one way they could avoid the Raza issue is making the hero power a passive power that you see on a bunch of the adventure bosses.  Would be a first and open up some new possibilities (there's only so much you can do with a hero power, and Blizz needs 9 new ones).  Just a thought.

So is anyone else the most excited to find out what the Priest Deathknight spell does????  It really feels like this card will have the most potential without even seeing it!  Think of all the potential and synergy to be had.

Raza the Chained

Comes to mind first.  Zero cost hero power with the new Deathknight power has me drooling already...  The only reason NOT to play this is if going Highlander build would water down the deck too much... I think it could work quite nicely though.

Auctionmaster Beardo

Once Raza is cast the dream would then be Beardo and some cheep casting spells... 

Shadow Visions

Is the the finial piece of the puzzle that has me rocking back and forth in my chair like a junky... waiting for mid August...  Imagine casting Shadow Visions to get a copy of the Priest Deathknight card and triggering the battlecry on the card two or even three times?!?!

What type of Battlecry are you hopping the priest Deathknight card will have?  I'm dreaming for a summon a friendly minion that died type effect.

What type of new hero power are you hopping for?  Don't think too hard on this one blizzard, just give us shadow form :)

Post what you hope the new priest legendary Deathknight card will battlecry and heropower will be.

need to add a Faceless Manipulator or two.  Think of them copying the murloc fully buffed... or ever better the quest card fully buffed... /shiver

most likely discover a paly secret.

Only reno is phasing out.  You can still totally play a singleton deck in standard.  I would trust the HS team more that they will add even more singleton type cards to the set.  So you are losing a full heal card, tough beans.  You are about to get a TON of taunts and other anti agro cards.  Buck up buddy, the sky isnt falling.

Also, I'm getting more and more interested in playing Wild.  Miss Reno?  Play wild!

The answer to your issue is to run lots of card draw and not rely only on Malchezaar's Imp.  I could see Cold Light Oracles ran with The Curator to snag the murlocs and Clutchmother Zavas.  I'd even consider running cantrip gnomes in the discard deck, if they get discarded oh well, but if you play them you get an early body and a draw, win win. 

Now's his time to shine.
