  • If Journey to Un'GoroSpiritsinger Umbra is on the battlefield and Dreadsteed is destroyed on that turn (its Deathrattle was activated), at the end of turn, Umbra will activate its Deathrattle when the Dreadsteed is resummoned, but a second Dreadsteed won't be summoned until the end of the following turn.[1]
  • Any buffs and enchantments given on Dreadsteed will not be retained once a new one is summoned.

Lore[]

"The subjugation of a Xorothian Dreadsteed is a true measure of power."
—Mor'zul Bloodbringer
Wowpedia iconThis section uses content from Wowpedia.
The dreadsteed of Xoroth is the level 40 epic warlock ground mount. Xoroth is the home planet of these fiery, horse-like demons, who serve as the mounts of the Dreadlords. The finest belong to the Nathrezim Dreadlord, Lord Hel'nurath the Stable Keeper.

Trivia[]

  • The flavor text references Reddit user Crescendo1909, a Hearthstone fan who had been fighting cancer for half a year prior to the release of The Grand Tournament.
  • Dreadsteed was originally designed for Curse of Naxxramas, as a neutral card, with the title "Relentless Geist".[2][3] However, its synergy with the design of LegacyWarsong Commander at that time (Whenever you summon a minion with 3 or less Attack, give it Charge.) allowed it to be used to "slowly machine-gun down every minion on your opponent's board", with Warsong Commander immediately granting each freshly summoned Dreadsteed Charge.[4] The developers concluded that they simply could not make the card at that time.[4] It was not until The Grand Tournament that Dreadsteed would return, now changed to a warlock minion in order to prevent its synergy with Warsong Commander.[4]
  • The artwork for this card comes from the World of Warcraft Trading Card Game "Scourgewar" series, for the card Dreadsteed.
