The Lich King is similar to [[Ysera]], as it's a large card that generates special, powerful cards at the end of your turn. Notably, this minion is identical to [[Ironbark Protector]], but with a massive upside. This minion has much higher attack than Ysera, making it more offensively powerful, but the lower health makes it far easier to trade into. [[Taunt]] is both a benefit and a downside, as the Taunt can be used to protect your hero and valuable minions, but The Lich King himself cannot be hidden behind other Taunts, making it easier for your opponent to destroy.

The largest downside of The Lich King is the randomness of his effect and the extreme difference between cards. Cards such as [[Death Grip]] and [[Anti-Magic Shell]] are far better when ahead on the board, whereas [[Doom Pact]] and [[Army of the Dead]] are far better when behind.

This is a fairly simple spell that should be played as soon as possible. It can potentially steal an important minion from your opponent, such as [[Archmage Antonidas]] or [[Lord Jaraxxus]], but even if it lands on a fairly weak minion, it will still create card advantage.

Strategy

The Lich King is similar to LegacyYsera, as it's a large card that generates special, powerful cards at the end of your turn. Notably, this minion is identical to LegacyIronbark Protector, but with a massive upside. This minion has much higher attack than Ysera, making it more offensively powerful, but the lower health makes it far easier to trade into. Taunt is both a benefit and a downside, as the Taunt can be used to protect your hero and valuable minions, but The Lich King himself cannot be hidden behind other Taunts, making it easier for your opponent to destroy.

The largest downside of The Lich King is the randomness of his effect and the extreme difference between cards. Cards such as Knights of the Frozen ThroneDeath Grip and CoreAnti-Magic Shell are far better when ahead on the board, whereas Knights of the Frozen ThroneDoom Pact and CoreArmy of the Dead are far better when behind.

Lore

Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
The Lich King is the master and lord of the Scourge, which he rules telepathically from Icecrown Glacier atop the Frozen Throne.
Kil'jaeden the Deceiver created the Lich King from the spirit of the orc shaman Ner'zhul to raise an undead army to weaken Azeroth in preperation of the Burning Legion's invasion. Initially trapped within the Frozen Throne with Path of ArthasFrostmourne, the Lich King eventually betrayed Kil'jaeden and merged with the human Hero SkinsArthas Menethil. At the climax of the war for Northrend, the Lich King was defeated by Highlord LegacyTirion Fordring and his champions. With the destruction of Frostmourne and the death of Arthas, Goblins vs GnomesBolvar Fordragon took up the mantle of the Lich King in order to keep the undead Scourge in check.
The Lich King Arthas was the titular antagonist of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
