think of it as a hybrid of taunt + token druid decks. that’s why the savage roar is there.

the problem i often had w/ MJM’s Deathrattle Big Druid was often survivability against aggro. less of a problem w/ spreading plague, and since the deck goes infinite, it still wins control match-ups.

Thought about it some more and guessing it goes like this.

You gain Cube’s payload on Battlecry. But since Da Undatakah has no Deathrattle itself, you can’t “trigger” Da Undatakah with cards like Play Dead. Therefore, Da Undatakah actually has to die to unleash its “effects”.

Actually, idk about the last part I wrote about things coming out immediately. You may still need to trigger Da Undatakah. I just feel like they wouldn’t have overlooked Astral Tiger + Immortal Prelate if it works like everyone things.

The card text is very specific. It says Deathrattle EFFECTS.

In my thinking the effects are the “enchantments” that appear if you hover over a minion, eg. Cube’s payload.

If this is the case, Da Undatakah does NOT gain the Deathrattles of 3 friendly minions that died this game. Da Undatakah would only have the “enchantments.” This is still a powerful effect, but not as broken as currently believed. It means it won’t be infinite with Immortal Prelate/Astral Tiger since those are Deathrattles.

If this is the case, the implication is bigger. It means you don’t “trigger” Da Undatakah by killing it. All the effects activate on Battlecry. So Cube’s payload, Steeds, etc. would come out immediately when Da Undatakah is played.
