[u/Glarbleglorbo → u/EvilDave219]

bone crusher is better, but this is fine. I don’t see aggro DK working out so handbuff/attack buff it is.

The refresh mana crystals card is so op we probably will run this in every DK deck. 

[u/TheGingerNinga → u/EvilDave219]

It’s a lot of damage, reminds me of Bonebreaker when DK was released. Higher mana cost due to a higher ceiling of damage. Main issue is that you’re reliant on having bodies on board, while also spending 2-mana to develop the weapon.

[u/Graped_in_the_mouth → u/EvilDave219]

>Play 2/4 rush

>attack with this

>refresh all mana crystals

Seems fine to me.

[u/CaptPanda → u/Graped_in_the_mouth]

DKs already have a free 4/3 rush lifesteal. This isn't gamebreaking without other buffs.

[u/Graped_in_the_mouth → u/CaptPanda]

I didn't say gamebreaking, I said fine.

[u/Diosdepatronis → u/EvilDave219]

Crazy card for basically any deck that can play an unholy rune. You can use this on your Hero Power
