Pretty much everything Unholy has but Scourge Strike, Apocalypse, Dark Command, Death Strike and Festering Strike would be right at home in a Necromancer's spellbook, however. It even has Unholy Frenzy, a WC3 Necro staple.
I dunno, we could go in circles like this forevermore, but I just don't see the design space for a Scourge-inspired Necromancer which is what the main class fantasy is in Warcraft. Not unless Unholy is pretty much rebuilt from the very ground up like Demo was in Legion, and I don't want that to happen.
