Just meh. 20 is a lot even if enemy minions count too.
I also don’t see the combination of frost and unholy work atm.
It looks like they want to make rainbow death knight playable through a bunch of risen/ Maw and Paw synergy. Rainbow had the issue of fighting to get enough corpses spent. Maw and Paw can generate and spend but this incentivizes boneguard commander / blightfang to be added for a stall/taunt. Crop rotation and corpse farm would support such a playstyle but I don’t know if it will be enough. Rainbow misses out on a lot of the good blood control/healing.
