Frozen Throne Mage, Paladin, and Warlock Legendary Death Knight Leaks!
Disclaimer: Please keep in mind that these cards have not officially been unveiled by Blizzard and thus may not be accurate.
In a video sourced from @Jejedge on Twitter thanks to this reddit post, we've got a lead on where the wonderful Jaina Proudmore is headed as a Death Knight. The video which was displayed came from a french mobile ad campaign which appears to have gone live early.
We've verified that the card text matches up with how French text is normally written on Hearthstone cards. No Hero Power has yet been spotted.
Warlock and Paladin Legendaries
Although we don't know the names or effects of these two, it looks like Uther and Gul'dan will be 9 and 10 mana respectively.
What kind of effects do you think they might have? So far we've seen beast synergy through Deathstalker Rexxar and now Elemental synergy through Frost Lich Jaina.
Video Screenshots
We've saved some stills from the video in case it gets taken down.

As described by Blizzard, Lifesteal affects all damage dealt by the entity it's attached to. It would work.
take a look at this Spirit Lash
It's the same text.
so it will gain lifesteal
This looks absolutely shit.
We don't know the hero power yet, if it is create an elemental or something, it would be cool.
Regarding the artwork i totally agree. Looks like a halloween illustration from 1976.
The art looks like a fan-remake of Death Prophet from Dota 2.
If it was summon 3/6 water elemental, it would be still good. As it can freeze and lifesteal.
It is for sure for very heavy control deck... you probably want more elementals in your field before you play this.
You could still do the 8 turn Doomsayer and Frost Nova combination and play this on turn 9 or in any turn later on Like you do with Alexstrasza
It is a very good healing mechanic but then you need Elementals.
I think it has potential in the future for Control mages
9 mana "summon a 3/6 water ele with lifesteal and gain 5 armor". alex is a better healing sorce. the heropower needs to be ether really aggressiv or defensive otherwise this card is dead. if it become "summon a 3/6 water ele" it will be to slow
Yeah I think this card is situational one that needs elemental minions more than any other cards we've seen on play to make it happen.
But if you manage to pull it off it will be an amazing healing mechanic.
healing has to be cheap or huge otherwise its useless. this card is 9 mana summon a 3/6 and heal for 5.... to slow for pretty much every deck. if you control the board you are allready winning
Yeah, i agree. Most of slowest cards (like Piros, Medivh) are playeble in mage. im sure this one is good too. Also mage is really need healing in standart, and a bit in wild.
Too slow with no immediate impact.
It has immediate impact if you have elementals on board already. Also Mage has ice block so they can get extra turn or two to make use of the effect.
If the Heor Power summons a Water Elemetal than the card is 100% better than Lord Jaraxus, because you don't cap your HP to 15 and start with a minion in play. I mean get an Emperor Thaurissan tick, play this and get two Water Elementals with life link, that's pretty absurd.
a) You are comparing cards for 2 different heroes
b) Jaraxxus has a weapon
c) Jaraxxus heals you (up to 14 hp healed)
d) Thaurissan is not in standart
e) you have not seen warlock cards. It is entirely possible there will be something that would give demons Lifesteal
I have about 1,700 wins on Warlock, trust me it's not the heal or the weapon that makes Lord Jaraxus good, if her HP spawns elementals then having an endless amount of value with life link in a control mirror it's amazing and keeping your health +5 armor lets you stay above the burst cap all the while. These cards are going to dramatically shift the balance in the control mirror away from Warlock because they no longer have a monopoly on an unlimited amount of value mechanic that lets them face roll those match ups.
Standard is for weebs.
