Do you mean you rate him as playable and not meta defining or he is meta defning but he still isn't as good as people think. Personally I think the latter. I think he is meta defining but not some god card people think him to be.
I think he is good, but not as good as people think. I rated it as playable. Its a slightly worse ysera that costs less than ysera herself.
Death knight cards are slightly worse than dream cards and there is the possibility of a "dead draw" between the DK cards (you cant "dead draw" on dream cards), also the stats distribution is far worse, but then its an 8-mana card which makes it a lot more playable than ysera because she costs 9 mana. Overall its playable, but only a few decks will want it and those decks have other "finishers" to choose from so they don't necessarily need to run this card (I'd rather play the class DK Hero Cards on most classes as the value is guaranteed)
Edit: Another thing to note is that for some reason people end up always thinking grindy "clunky" control decks will be the next thing on the meta and it usually never is, I cant help but think everyone is overlooking the big aggro tools added this expansion yet again.
Thinking about a way I'd want to play The Lich King, I came up with the likelihood of wanting to play him together with YShaarj and Barnes, so maybe this is a cool place to start(If Fighting too much aggro, swap Glimeroot for Tar creeper):
Be patient in using them though. If they have 2 5/5's on board, take that 10 damage like a man. Next turn they usually develop a full board for you to kill over and over.
When you pass the turn and the quest rogue already has 2x 5/5s on board:
With experience I can tell that this tip is wrong. if you pass the turn you're super likely to take at least 15 damage from hand with charges. You're always better off clearing.
Maybe it's because i come from MtG but i love in depth strategy articles. I've found very very few Hearthstone in depth strategy articles period, so I would love more of that.
I think this happened because of the number of randomess applied to the game, that constantly diminished the amount of skill to determine the outcome of a game. I remember back at classic I used to count cards a lot and there were a lot of mind games behind, nowadays I basically just hope to "get lucky" with my rolls.
I used to write a lot of deck guides back in the day, but the demand for them diminished greatly so the focus shifted into simply showing people the lists and telling them why its good. Nonetheless, its still very good to know that this kind of demand, despite smaller than the others, still exists! Makes me happy!
Not sure this really fit anywhere, but I really feel like tournament breakdowns aren't really an article topic I see a lot of... but we have an ever-increasing amount of tournaments, including Wild. I stumbled on Gloudas' "Hearthstone Happenings" on YouTube from forever ago, and I think more of that would be great.
I had the option for "meta breakdown" on the poll but decided to remove it because "theorycrafting" could also be part of analyzing the metagame (even if its tournament meta), maybe I was wrong
To the one person posting multiple times he doesn't like Wild because he doesn't have the cards (making it seem like there are many idiotic complains about it):
This is a card game, people have collections, they have cards and want to play with those cards. Wild is a format just as much as Standard, and the game isn't standard-only, Blizzard said it themselves they want people to play Wild more often than they do.
The whole QQ about collection: are you even serious? There are two many reasons for this QQ, and both are SUPER idiotic:
"I don't have the cards" - Then buy them if you want them.
"I don't want to spend money on the cards" - Then don't play the game.
A full collection (Wild included!) of playable cards in Hearthstone costs less than 1/4 of a single Modern deck in Magic. Real card game players want to have cards and want to play with them, going against players being able to play with their cards is an attitude of a person who shouldn't even be playing a card game in the first place.
all I could read from this gigantic wall of ultra-QQ is "I'm a noob, and I don't even know what legacy format is for card games, lulz I wouldn't even be playing card games if it wasn't for blizzard"

Do yourself a favor and uninstall hearthstone.

Remind me again which part of Hearthstone is truthfully fair
