Deck Description

My first rendition of what the new DK leech archetype might look like in The Emerald Dream expansion! Stabilize throughout the early/mid game with leech cards. Grotesque Runeblade is a standout for early threats as a potential 3/3 weapon on turn 2 if we open turn 1 with Morbid Swarm!

Ysera enables us to reach 15 mana and potentially slam the 8 Hands from Beyond and Kil’jaeden in the same turn, if necessary. Ursoc is the replacement for Soulstealer, and while obviously not as powerful, there is potential for a blowout, especially if discovered by Xavius and given lifesteal as a Dark Gift! You should have no problem outlasting any other deck in standard with leech DK.
