Moving four powerful undead heroes in addition to taking a turn with Death Knights is pretty frightening. This could prove to be a limiting factor in the long run as we may need to avoid creating multiple powerful undead heroes for Valkrill. Change it to Undead Squad figures and I'm all for it. But for now,

to review Shaitahn
I agree, making this Squad figures (maybe Common figures--maybe both) makes the most sense.

Also, just to be clear, you intend for Undead March to not require an OM on Shaithan, so that with an OM on the Death Knights, I can first move 4 of them (4 spaces) and then move and attack with 2 of them, right?
Of course. I think the reason that this issue of heroes never came up in playtesting it that, well, Valkrill doesn't have many heroes. And the one he does have already works in sync with a common hero that moves itself. So the question would be, do I want Nicholas ,X number of Thralls, and Shaitahn, or do I want Nicholad, X number of Thralls, and 4 extra Thralls? Something of a no-brainer. And since most of the playtesting was based in Death Knights and the occasional Thrall in a filler role, I see no problem making that change, it shouldn't affect the point balance at all. I'll contact awesomeunleashed for a new card, and we'll fix the nomination post, if that's alright. I'll make it Common figures, since a couple of my own customs work into this mechanic (see my custom Skeletal Archer for the best example).
