Gimmicky and boring imo. Also, who is UNK_1347?
Poor reworked Ysera, reduced to a meme card.
I can only think about some Big Spell Druid for this.
If that fails, this card does as well...
It doesn't look that bad to me. At least, random dragons are better than random demons (poor Warlock)...
"True mastery takes dedication."
Classic Ysera is better than this
Maybe you are right, but I'm still excited just for the possibility alone to have a deck containing 2x Yseras
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Just pray you don't get some Brightwings with the Dream Portals...
This is Druid's replacement for Nomi after it cycles out.
that's not how rotations in hs work...
nomi is a RoS card
To be honest, I can't really think of a place this card would fit in.
Quest Druid just seems way better then whatever Dragon synergies they will pump out. Unless Ysera somehow makes it into the Quest list, Phaoris just seems much better as a boardfill, or Nomi for that matter.
Highlander Druid also does not really benefit from this as she also messes up the singleton strategy with duplicate portals. I really have no idea what to do with this card, will have to look at the whole set for a final judgement tho.
This ain't no place for a hero
Trolden is already ready for some clips of someone getting huge dragons in a row on same turn AND the inverse which would be Faery Dragon
Might be a competitive card purely based on the strength of Breath of Dreams. But only if Druid is really starved for dragons outside of Emerald Explorer.
you can play elise before, to get an extra copy! so many dragons!
Strong card by its-self but very slow in a more slow meta this card certainly could do work combined with floop for eventual value cheating shenanigans.
But the detrition game in hearthstone is already a really long time meh.
Versus warrior it could destroy them with a few highrolls, versus an OTK deck the pressure is way to slow but hopefully the other cards in your deck can push the damage before your opponent has reached his essential cards.
Seems very meme-y. I expect you might see it discovered from Emerald Explorer but I can't see it being included in constructed.
For its cost, I don't believe it to have a good effect, especially on druid that by this point in the game has either a good board or an OTK strategy ready to deploy.
However, this is the kind of card that other classes might want to pull from random effects, especial rogue, due to its miracle nature.
weak Ysera with really bad outcomes for the portal cards... 3 stars i think
Sadly she is too slow, but i like it
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
whatever lategame strategy Druids might employ...this isn't going to be one of them
But it is going to show up from the Discover Dragon, so take that for what it's worth
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
I mean, It's a dragon. And the whole point of dragons is that you don't play them but hold them in your hand, so I don't mind having a slow, situation dragon. This might be played as a last-resort card for dragon druids, but otherwise it is just to slow to be played.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Dragon druid is going to be my first deck attempt for sure. Going to love big dragons coming out from nowhere.
Instead of 4/4 Spiders, you get a random Dragon...the vast majority of the time, you'll get something better than a 4/4. If the Druid can cycle through their deck as quickly as a Rogue can, that this could be something worth considering. That being said, it's expensive and slow, and probably too much to warrant building around :(
I honestly don´t see this one working. Comes too late, doesn´t have an immediate impact and an ocassional random dragon in later turns will not do any wonders.
Seems like a fun card to play with Augmented Elekk before the next set after this one.
She might do crazy things if you play it as the last card. It seemed a "one-last push" card for me.
Ok for empty board tho. Like her older version.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Ironically enough, the fact that this comes in a dragon centric expansion might make it even more weak, since the total pool will include a lot more small/situational minions. That coupled with it being so slow probably will mean it won’t see much play
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
I could see this being run similar to Nomi or Ellise/Zephyrs in druid decks with strong cycle.
Well .. there's a lot of strong dragons, but it's too RNG dependent, I don't think this will see much play ..
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Hard to say how good it will be we need all the dragons 1st. if there is a few high stat ones with taunt its very good.
Despite being random, I think this is overall a strong card. But it's very slow though, without any direct impact. I don't think it will see competitive play on the highest level, but it will surely give some funny Trolden videos xd
I'll give a Standard Dragon Druid deck a whirl if this comes my way; I already have an odd dragon druid deck in mind for Wild.
Maybe no meta deck possible, but I have to think that there is fun to be had in a Miracle Deck with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Of course, it will be hard to get the fun started in time...
Well, Im looking forward to try dragon druid)
I look forward to watching my Elise, Elise, Elise, Ysera, Ysera, Deathwing, Deathwing (and, sigh, Hemet, Hemet) deck fail miserably (as Elise). I think it's the most dupes you can have...
I mentioned in another thread that I thought Waxadred with Necriums was a better Chef Nomi. This is worse than that, but much more flexible, and slots easily into the dragon archetype whereas I think you need to build an entire deck around Waxadred (that probably isn't just a dragon-Rogue). Is it better than original Ysera? Who cares! Why not both?!
Its a bummer this is a 9 mana 4/12 with a weird value related effect. And most of the dragons want to Battlecry, and not just be summoned, making this effect even less good. IDK, its fine, but nothing I'm impressed by.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
i think dragon druid will become a thing, and this card would be pretty strong
As a wild player this seems terribly slow and unplayable honestly. Even in Standard this doesn't seem to make the cut.
The Forgotten Wilds - Druid
Interesting card. Could save your game or make you lose it, depending on the RNG and what dragon the portals summon.
Despite what people are saying, I don't think this will be a good card. It's a lot slower and if you're relying on this as your win condition, you're better of with the Nomi + Zephrys + Elise package, which is less RNG based. When the rotation happens or in future, slower metagames, this might have the time to shine. But for now I don't think so
I think that's very bad card on the constructed, but when you discover her or play on the arena it really can do her job.
As with OG Ysera you could get good value but you want something that will affect the board more at this mana cost. Sadly, I don't think it will see much play in constructed.
Lots of Value in a Single card
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
Firstly, I love the art of this card. Im not a big fan of druid to begin with but I would be happy to get this in golden. Trying yo make a deck with this and vanilla Ysera (also golden) would be enough to start getting some play time. Yay for dragons!
Rastakhan introduced some mediocre dragons, and it looks like the same will happen with this new Expansion, so the pool of dragons might be better in wild, but this doesn't look strong enough to make an impact. Probably won't see play, but as always, we must wait for synergies.
There's a lot of room for fun Combos (Floop, Elekk, Elise, ...)
Not sure if this Card is competitive though... 9 Mana and no Taunt or Rush is rough

I have no doubt that this is a card created purely for those who enjoy building memey decks. I also have no doubt that I will create some of those memey decks.
Thus, is it good? No. It is slow and unpredictable. But do I want it? ... Does a bear poo in the woods?
Better call Thrall!
Dragon Druid looks promising, but I bet there's gonna be lots of low-level summons.
Free minions are good..don't think there are any bad RNG dragons..feels like a druid exclusive nomi
I’ve heard this card is powerful from someone who got to play with it at BlizzCon, but of course that wasn’t in a real meta. I think it has potential.
While the effect of summoning random dragons is strong, it's really slow. Not only does she do nothing to impact the board like Ysera, unlike the original, she does not have a guaranteed immediate effect and is not a major threat. Maybe you could pull her off with enough ramp from Breath of Dreams, card draw from Overflow and support from big dragon taunts like Emerald Explorer.
More dragons? Yes please!
Unless there's a bunch of wimpy shrimp-Dragons that'll be added in DoD, most Dragons are beefy minions. The effect, if you can draw enough portals, is pretty strong. If you can draw enough portals... it's definitely a slow card.
Don't think there will be a specific deck or archetype for this card sadly, the normal Ysera would feel better. Getting consistent Laughing Sisters are better than a random Faerie Dragon.
It feels to random to rate this card higher, I really don't know about this one.
It seems too expensive as how it often happens in Hearthstone expensive cards without and inmediate effect in the board are lowly played
I think druid ramp and any upcoming cards that can stale the turns would probably enough to make this card atleast playable.
For the current set of druid, we have 4/8 big dragon with taunt, and a discover effect to handle the late game, so it cant be bad. Having 2 mana ramp spell will be the game changer because we already seen how Wild Growth works.
I see it as a fun meme with value generators for now, I think I want to get this out of my packs, but this expansion looks promising enough to have many good legendaries, hope I'm not wrong.
The new Yzera is too slow to be effective IMO. But if druid will be able to survive against aggro then we might see Yzera in a Dragon druid or some kind of ramp/big druid decks. So lets see
I don't think that a 9 mana card that does nothing the turn it comes in play is very good at all.
I think it still can be a good dragon to discover when playing against a decks that is not applying any pressure.
This new version of Ysera seems very hard to evaluate at a glance, but it could have potential in greedy decks looking to out-value their opponents and create big board swings.
The main issue I see with this card is that a lot of dragons are primarily Battlecry minions, so she'll probably be giving you stats and maybe a keyword most of the time.
I don't see it being played, the only reason you might is if Druid gets more cards like Breath of Dreams.
As it stands this card is a 9 mana do nothing. The card takes a minimum of two turns to really do anything and the body is not threatening enough to warrant your opponent answering it. Then you are also as the mercy of draw RNG for it to even be effective. There are also lots of undesirable dragons that you can summon from the portals.
I feel this card needed Taunt in order to be playable, right now without any other OP dragon synergy cards, this will not see any play.
Nice arena card. I don't think i'll see that much play on standard.
Too slow to be included in any deck. But we will see this card picked often from discover effects in long games. Generally more bad than good
If Druid wants to play Dragons to support Breath of Dreams, I think they will have better options than this. Does nothing the turn it is played and takes multiple turns to recognize the full value of the battlecry, but a fun card none the less.
For glory, honor, and gold!
This girl is so cool! Can't wait to go Dragon Druid.
Very nice that it's a battlecry and there are loads of good dragons this set. It's like Faldorei Strider with a potential to highroll, I can't wait for deckbuilders like MarkMcKz to make some impossible deck which uses this and an empty deck to get a bunch of Malygos on the board from highrolling for an 'OTK'.
This seem like a better Chef Nomi to me. Very powerful for sure.
i think it's too slow to run everywhere except a dragon druid, although not sure what wincon is there
this card isnt good and bad at all, it doesnt do anything when you play it but dragons are usually kinda big minions and they can have a big impact on a game
Druid has the draw to make this work, but too RNG to be ladder-viable. A good meme card - golden craft.
This card is fun for sure, but i don't think it's too strong. Random and too slow in my opinion
Love it, druid is also a class that can run out of cards fast, so you can have a greater chance to trigger the portals and have a big board.
It is a pretty slow card but can be really useful in long matches. Love how they are sticking to the 9-mana 4/12 theme.
I think this really shine when compared with the original Ysera, in getting 7 random shuffled in right away, compared to one random card each turn. Love it!
I actually like this card, classic Ysera is my first crafted legendary. It ruins highlander battlecries (which are useful in Druid decks), but I can imagine playing this card like Chef Nomi
Druid is great at drawing cards, so this seems like a fairly strong play. Even if you get average dragons, they're typically medium to large.
I didnt do the math but it look better than i thought it would. most dragons has good stats and i can't remember seeing one with a negative deathrattle
Spontaneous dragons seem like a great thing to get since its a cast when drawn thing (I think) It won't cut a draw and it'll give you an extra body
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
This card is strong on it's own and does not need a specific deck to work. Free random dragons are always good. Played when the deck is empty, Ysera, Unleashed has an effect similar to Chef Nomi.
very fun card to try but maybe too slow¿
Solid, but not strong enough given that it relies too much on RNG. You can imagine to survive until real late game and have massive value. However, there are other options for druid available to achieve this goal.
I don't actually expect this deck to work. Too much variation on random dragons
Classic Ysera is not better than this
I think this card could work in a gadgetzan style deck. The sidequest helps that archetype as well.
The new dragon druid deck looks really spicy with all the new dragons, the only concern is that it's really bad against aggro decks
Might have worth in Standard as a late-game value bomb. Possible cute play in Wild using Turn 9 Ysera, Unleashed into Turn 10 Ultimate Infestation to try and floor the board with big dragons. Definitely going to be suffering from “high-roll, low-roll” issues though since lots of dragons have poor stats or get value from a Battlecry that will be missed because of the Dream Portal putting them directly into play. How good it is will depend on the speed of the meta that forms, since you need time to play Ysera and to draw the Portals to make good use of her.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Perfect tech for Quest druid. Late game win condition belong with Nomi + Floop
The effect is possibly very strong, but IF, and only if it triggers. Drawing all 7 cards is slow, unless dropped late, but that is not Dragon Ramp Druid's gameplay. It focuses on cheating mana with Breath of Dreams early and overwhelming the opponent with big bodies. This is not made for that.
Put your faith in the Light!
This cost too much which makes it way too slow to run. At that stage you should be relying on something stronger that is already in effect and dont need to be drawn. Looks fun, but way too late
The Dragons overall seem like they are pretty good statwise (the weakest dragons in standard are Faerie Dragon and Brightwing). So the dragons summoned are pretty reliable. Which turns into the follow-up question: is Ysera, Unleashed herself good? Honestly, it depends: if your deck is low on cards, you can reliably summon a lot of dragons really fast. However, it's still a 9 mana card without and immediate impact on board. And aggro got some tools making greedy decks less good overall, which means, even in dragon decks, Ysera might get cut off in favor of more pro-active dragons.
Rating cards on coolness factor rather than predicting power because I like screwing up rating averages (and because I suck at predicting real power levels, but we'll ignore that LUL)
Wins per class (2/6/22): DH-197; Druid-996; Hunter-91«60; Mage-1056; Paladin-1126; Priest-746; Rogue-961; Shaman-1095; Warlock-871; Warrior-906
Fun card. And very playable too. There's lots of draw for Druid so summoning the dragons shouldn't be a problem. You survive till late game with with Starfall, Swipe, the new Taunt Dragon and then play it. Maybe you can play it with the Quest, too?
It seems very powerful, but I just think Druid can do better things with their Quest than summon random Dragons.
Not as good as actual Ysera, but certainly has potential in control decks that can survive into the late game.
I don't believe this can work. Shuffling cards into deck is too unreliable, mana cost is too high, stats are not threatening and random dragons can be good (in most cases), but in current meta its not enough.
Fun and interactive game.
