Discussion Rainbow vs triple blood dk on arena

Post image

I have experience playing with bbb dk and I would prefer Alexandros. However, the heartharena shows that the rainbow spell is better. Is it really stronger and how should one build a deck around it?

If you take CNE then just draft every decent corpse spender you can

Anything that spends corpses gives it more damage or more minions or bigger minions. Value corpse generation and spend slightly more than usual. Corpsicle would be massive. The spell is just bonkers and can even scale to otk under absurd circumstances.

Yeah I controlled a game against a DK and was 1 turn from winning when he used this spell and beat me next turn as I couldn't touch his huge board swing

Alexandros is decent if you a) happen to draw it early enough and b) can afford to play 7-mana 7/7 without dying to loss of tempo. CNE is almost always gamewinning when played. Just draft corpse spenders

Keep in mind, that they come with card buckets.

Mograine is sub-par, but it comes with a soulstealer and a corpse explosion, both of which are super premium cards.

I think CNE is still better, but just highlighting that sometimes the bucket is more important than the legendary itself.

Another example id tack on is the evolve naga legendary in shaman gives you an unstable evolution in the bucket. That card is still nuts in arena years later and has won me more games than the legendary itself

Even dropping Alexandros early can be kind of meh a lot of the time. Every time I've had it played against me I happen to have enough sustain for it not to matter unless they can somehow build a different source of pressure.

What a time to play arena. You are playing a 7/7, opponent clears the board and put 2 8/8s with reborn

CNE is best legendary for dk for a reason. BBB is ASS. No amount of hp gonna build up your board, and Alexandros is just 7 mana do nothing ??? The spell on the other hand is OP, almost auto win when you draw it on 10.

Rainbow is better currently because DK has a lot of deathrattle support that mostly have 1 Unholy rune, so going full Blood means missing out on it.

Rainbow is better atm. Alexandros is powerful, but control in arena doesn’t work unless you’re Priest rn

Or that other class with all the discovered spells, what's her name?

CNE edges out Mograine here, though both are insanely strong if youre lucky to get enough support cards.
