Based on Shockwave. SERIES:

The thing with Shockwave + Freeze is that they are of differing elements; if Improved Plague (2 ) + Reap (1 ) isn't fast enough, the addition of 3 free per kill due to Soul Catcher just makes it blistering. There is just way too much synergy here, aside from the taboo topic of insta-kills within the forums (unless ther has been a mindset shift lately that I haven't caught on to?). With Plauge, Virus, Aflatoxin, Purple Nymph, and the recent Bone Shield, Death already has its fair share of killing creatures on its own without resorting to such an auto-kill.

Plague, Virus, Aflatoxin, Grey Nymph and Soul Catcher are seldom used (not sure about Skull Shield). Is a simultaneous buff for all of them really such a bad idea? Besides, the 4 damage alone is enough to kill many creatures.

Wrong. Viruses and Plagues are still pretty popular, particularly after Soul Catcher. okay, Afla doesn't have much <3, but this won't help it.

also, Poison + Reap on the enemy PLAYER? hm?

This is a very similar card to my "Frailty | Enervation" card currently in the Forge.  This has direct damage, while my card doesn't, and this requires poison to kill, while my card only requires damage of any kind.

I don't think the direct damage really fits Death.
