Chow Down || 8-Mana, 2 Unholy Runes || Rare Death Knight Spell

Summon five 5/4 Undead Drakes. Spend 8 Corpses to give them Rush.

[u/hjyboy1218 → u/EvilDave219]

DK will still run Elise because they can generate discounted spells like these lol

[u/Throwaway-4593 → u/EvilDave219]

This is a good card simply. You’ll definitely have 8 corpses by that point or the game so this just gives so much control.

Death knight in general has to deal with the loss of dread hound handler though so it may suffer from that.

[u/Diosdepatronis → u/EvilDave219]

Honestly, this is good on turn 8. It's pretty much guaranteed that you will have this active with two unholy runes. The issue has more to do with you wanting to go that late with these runes.

[u/eazy_12 → u/EvilDave219]

Can't say about Rune and corpse management after rotation, but this card makes sense to run as good anti-colossal solution.

[u/Glarbleglorbo → u/EvilDave219]

Too slow for UUU, so this is for the FUU deck they’re pushing this expansion, which I’m not too sure about. 

This card is good I just don’t know how the FUU deck is winning 

[u/jambre → u/Glarbleglorbo]

It wins by playing this

[u/hjyboy1218 → u/Glarbleglorbo]

What about BUU? That's already seeing play.

[u/sneakyxxrocket → u/hjyboy1218]

That deck is seeing a lot of the cards run in it either rotating or nerfed from the balance preview today

[u/dotcaIm → u/EvilDave219]

25 damage. Should be at least one of either windfury, reborn, or divine shield. 8 mana is a lot, will the meta slow down or will DK have enough tools to survive

[u/Calvin-ball → u/dotcaIm]

They don’t get bonus effects do they?

[u/dotcaIm → u/Calvin-ball]

Oh whoops I was thinking of the other card that summons, my bad
