- Power Overwhelming
- Mortal Coil
- Demonfire/Demonfuze/Demonheart
- Void Terror
- Void Crusher
- Anima Golem
- Mal'ganis
So basically every turn after you play Dreadsteed you get 1 free damage, plus an enabler for a lot of other stuff. You still spend too much tempo for the cost, especially in a world where Patron Warrior is still a thing, but it has the potential to be a fairly critical card in future decks.
TidesofTime was playing it on stream and beat Patron 3/3 times.
Not saying it's a counter deck, but hey, there's that.

Here's a question. If there was a spell that created a persistent effect of dealing 1 damage each turn to an enemy, subject to taunts, would you pay 4 mana for that? If not, what would you cost it at?

Which is why the card isn't good. It's underrated, not good.
But it's definitely a card which does a lot more than you'd expect when left uncountered.

imo, still decent. Yeah it sucks now, but if they silence it and not Mal'Ganis, Sludge Belcher, Sylvanas, KT, Rivendare, etc - that's not entirely bad.

Demonlock as a shell can win games. The question is whether Dreadsteed actually adds enough to the deck in its synergistic cases to make up for the fact that as a vanilla draw it's awful. I.e. is it better than whatever other 2 cards would go into its slot in the Demonlock shell.

If you run all of that in your Warlock deck... 
Na, man, you mean an hobgoblin dreadsteed deck, shitting 3/3s every turn! Throw spare parts for good measure to keep the hobgoblin stealthed!
Gazlowe's so fun in Heroes. Too bad you can't play the game without it dumping on your RAM for no reason, and they botched his lines in HS so much (they translated "Oh no you didn't!" literally, and I mean literally literally).
I have no idea how he really is, don't play WoW.

Hobgoblin wouldn't buff it once it died I think. Only buffs if you play from hand. Unless I'm wrong.

I had a similar question on my mind: "Would Dreadsteed be overpowered at 3 mana?"
The answer is probably no, but I think Blizzard was looking ahead when they put the cost at 4. Dreadsteed is similar to Unleash the Hounds in that it has the potential to completely break other cards. There are already plenty of interesting, if not entirely practical, shenanigans you can pull with the card. It becoming a critical component of a deck is essentially one decent card away from happening.

That's true of a lot of cards though due to the nature of the game.
Tracking for example is only really a fair card due to how Blizzard only really allows the Hunter class to play aggro decks which fundamentally benefit less from sifting for specific cards than control or combo decks.

Once you play it, you'll have trouble believing it was intended to be played any other way.
Rules vary by version, but essentially it goes: Blue Space, give a drink. ? Space, give two drinks. Red Space, take a drink. Bowser space, take two drinks. Someone passes you on the board, take a drink. Win a minigame (every winner), give a drink. Get a star, everyone else finishes their drink.
Alternate rule: Any time coins are won/lost in great quantity (Boo, battle games, chance time, etc.) whoever loses coins takes a drink for each increment of 10 coins lost, and whoever gains coins gives a drink for each increment of 10 coins.
This game is great because while the drinking rules aren't too outlandish, they happen so regularly that it definitely gets the job done. It is not for the faint of heart/liver.
Just saw this, would play.
I used to play this with my friends but it was actually insane and we never got further than a few turns due to just being paralytic already:

Anyways, got muh golden priest. 7 more classes to go, lel.
I guess I work on Druid next? Hrm.

Ugh. Rerolled into 5 Rogue/Warrior victories, hate both classes but 60g is not bad.
Time to be dirty and play Patron for free wins.
