Blood Death Knight Much Better Than Frost/Unholy

Going forward, it would be nice if Blizzard managed to keep the consistency with DK cards. The first issue is that they categorized cards pretty poorly, Patchwerk shouldn’t be exclusive to Blood Rune, Corpse Explosion should’ve been an Unholy, Obliterate should have been Frost, Meat Grinder shouldn’t be exclusive to Unholy, etc.

Now as for Blood Death Knights, I get they wanted them to be control based but atleast throw Unholy a bone or two and stop showing up Frost. Blood DK’s have got it all and this is just the first round of cards for them, strategies and archetypes still haven’t even balanced out but its hard to think what more they could feed them when they already have access to crazy cards like; Soulstealer x2, Blood Boil x2, Obliterate AND Asphyxiate x2, Gnome Muncher x2, Patchwerk, Vampiric Blood x2, Corpse Explosion x2 and lets not forget the REDICULOUS search and discoverability which make these cards pretty much x3 or more in some cases.

TLDR: Blizzard needs to spread the good card idea’s/power to Frost and Unholy, feels like a dev mains Blood DK and made sure they got the best cards in Hearthstone.

Frost DK is currently the best DK deck available according to HSReplay.

Frost DK is very straightforward I will give it that but you can sorta compare the two runes to Druid and Hunter.

Hunter would be Frost, it does face damage and smorcs for quick and efficient wins.

Druid would be Blood, it has a vary specific thing it does and it does that turned up to 11.

I think there needs to be balance going foward, I think Blood DK cards do more and are better whilst Frost is good at smorcing its very 1 directional Hit your opponent face with frost spell.

Yeah, and it’s extremely good at that. By no means does Frost need any buffs at this moment. It has zero problem chewing through 30 health real quick.

I guess it kinda is really Unholy that could use some more fleshing out no pun intended

It is still weird how they separated iconic DK abilities and minions that dont correspond with its assigned rune.
