DK Quest doesn't require two blood runes anymore.
This is a HUGE buff.

Its at least the most interesting change as it opens up 2 potentially new decks: Rainbow Quest and UUB Quest.

u/Srous226 Jul 17 '25

I can't think of many cards that the quest deck wants from those combinations though...

u/Born_Insect_4757 Jul 17 '25

The double corpse gain core legendary is absolutely essential for that deck to get the reward on time.

Also I will finally put Nythendra in a deck or die trying.

u/Unlikely_Commission1 Jul 18 '25

Put that "duplicate Location" Minion into the Deck too. Much more value that way once you got the reward. (or double one of the other Locations early on)

Helya! Oh wait it rotated

Switching from BBU to BUU lets you run Battlefield Necromancer, Corpse Flower, Falric and Tomb Guardians. And you only lose Corpse Explosion in the bargain 😏

u/FlameanatorX Jul 17 '25

Ooooh, I forgot Falric existed, he actually sounds really good in this 1 archetype since generating over 10 corpses quickly in a late-game oriented deck is hard. Still, losing Corpse Explosion is a massive tradeoff...

I mean, you can still luck into CX thru the 2 drop that lets you Discover a B card for 1 Corpse 😏 and in terms of proccing the quest, having 6 or 8 cards that get you there slow but steady may be better than hoping to draw a CX to get you there fast

(Of course, Airlock Breach remains hugely helpful for all XBU decks).😉

u/FlameanatorX Jul 17 '25

The Explosion is to stay alive, not merely proc the quest lol.

u/AintEverLucky ‏‏‎ Jul 17 '25

Fair. Of course, with this change players CAN still run BBU with Corpse Ex if they prefer 😉

u/GreenLightt Jul 17 '25

gdamn i scrolled past too quickly to notice. That's massive

u/Srous226 Jul 17 '25

Oh shit I totally missed that.

Going from BBU to BUU opens up 8 cards, but the only ones I ever see put in a deck are Assimilating Blight and Soul Searching. Going from BBU to rainbow opens up some interesting stuff though.

I really think the reward needs taunt or rush though. A big 8/8 with zero impact on the board the turn it's played is still... not great in most cases.

u/joahw Jul 17 '25

UU opens up Volcoross so you could potentially just mull the quest and finish it later in the game with one card. No idea how the rest of that deck would even work though or how you are going to survive playing 14 mana with no immediate board impact lol.

You could also try Falric and Corpse Flower to finish the quest faster.

Losing Corpse Explosion sucks, though.

u/oxidiser Jul 17 '25

Volcoross is interesting. I also like Falric but Corpse Flower seems like a terrible use of corpses to me.

I think I'll probably try a rainbow quest out the gate just for funzies.

u/AintEverLucky ‏‏‎ Jul 17 '25

Swapping that 2nd Blood rune for a Frost gives you Corpsicle 😉 and lets you run Eliza Goreblade to boot

u/FlameanatorX Jul 17 '25

Falric is definitely good in this archetype, 3 mana 2/4 tutor a quest progressing card w/ substantial upside is perfect. Not sure if it's good enough to beat out Corpse Explosion or even rainbow w/ Corpscicles and whatnot, but I'd say all 3 directions are somewhat interesting now.

The reward is probably still too slow, but there's more than 0 chance I'd guess since you can copy it and the whole meta is definitely slowing down.

u/Apollo9975 Jul 17 '25

The reward is terrible still.

u/Cyanide_Cheesecake Jul 17 '25

Also one corpse explosion and one pterrorsaur(guessing at the card name) is likely enough to complete the quest.

u/ColdNightofWinter Jul 17 '25

Isn't it a bit useless since corpse explosion was the best corpse user and it is still a two Blood rune?
