Zerg Death Knight Is Pure Fun!

I will gladly admit I was a bit skeptical when Starcraft was announced as a crossover set. But, I am more than pleasantly surprised. Thematically, this set far exceeds the Dark Beyond main set. I have not played any Protoss or Terran yet, I need a bit more gold to buy the full miniset, but Zerg feels amazing.

After playing both Zerg Hunter and Death Knight for a bit, I like Death Knight way more. It feels far less fragile. Also, Death Knight feels like you are building a real swarm that will eventually overrun the opponent. Viper is also insane. I’ve had multiple people concede because of it.

Kerrigan is amazing. If I cared more about the game I would buy her skin. She does everything you want a mid game Hero card to do. Solid AOE, gives value, and has a great hero power. 10/10 card.

This just some initial play time, but I am impressed with how fun games have been. Even the losses.

Here is the current deck I am running and still making changes to:

Quickest D-10 to legend climb with DK Zerg that I’ve ever done, must have been about 5 hours in total.

My list’s a bit more Deathrattle heavy, the little 1 mana exploding guys are absolute beasts at breaking through big boards. Combined with Viper, hand holding removal minions gets laughed out the door.

I was debating on adding Banelings. I have just been playing during down time from work, so not a ton of matches. I just haven’t come across a match up where I think they would have helped.

I’m playing 1 mana summon 2 10/10. I know this isn’t sustainable, but for today it’s so much fun.

Kerrigan is amazing because she’s insanely busted. 3 AoE damage, summon 2 queens (board + hand refill) and a hero power that is just hilariously OP compared to the other 2. Imo her AoE should be down to 2 and her hero power start at 1 on an empty board.

It’s fun because it’s 100% broken.

Newsflash: Zerg Death Knight is OP. That’s why it’s so fun.

It’s is. I didn’t even research it and got 5 levels of diamond without knowing what I was doing.

This is not fun. This is BS and exists because people who work on HS are incompetent fools.

i dont think its op at all, i think mage protoss is op

If you have trisonomy 21 or similair handicaps, yes. It’s surely fun as it suits you. Else it’s absolute broken and as Koyen said, designed by incompetent fools (like 7/7/7 Gonzo)

I can agree zerg DK is proabably a little too good right now. But I also love stomping handbuff paladins with even more ridiculously buffed minions than they can put out lol.
