Absolutely love it; going straight into my Dragon Paladin deck. The flavor of it - Talritha jumping onto a new Dragon - is perfect. This will definitely see play if Dragon Paladin can get off the ground once more.
I knew you would like it :D

A valanyr for dragons. Pretty good in a dragon-heavy deck.
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
This opens up a new archetype. Tempo dragon paladin. I think we are going to see dragon paladin with smaller low cost dragons that can ramp up and apply pressure.
I LOVED dragon Paladin back in the day and this is such a good tempo card to revive it with! It'll make you think carefully about which dragons you want to include do that you don't get it stuck on a late game combo dragon
Gonna be a staple in any dragon deck faceless manipulator could be fun to combo with a buffed up dragon.
Not a card a deck is build around tho but a very strong addition.
Just hope paladin has enough dragon generators, or there are enough decent dragons to put into a deck, think there are some more low cost dragons needed which disadvantages Druids new Ysera card in turn.
The flavor indeed is pretty sweet but I'm afraid the card is too weak and slow for a legendary, 2/5 and won't see play.
A recurring buff for dragons could be pretty strong, I remember dragon being a decent enough tribe for Pally in wild because of the 5/5’s that reduce the cost of the next one you play, so this could work
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Could be fun!
Now we only need some decent Dragons for this. That Deathrattle one from RoS might finally see play.

I loved the Paladino's weapon with a similar effect. Should be fun!
-nod
Love its design and flavour. The power level seems really good, maybe there's hope for Dragon Paladin...
Personally I love this card because I loved that hammer. Unfortunately with most death rattles and buffs silence completely ruins it obviously not something to build a deck around but really good none the less.
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
3mana 3/3 body, Even if IT forces your oppenont to use. /waste. Silence, it’s a win (typing on a new phone isn’t
Can be really annoying if they don't have a silence or transform effect.
Looks very good, with this new dragon package coming, dragon paladin could be at least tier 2!
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Val'anyr was better, and it barely seen any play. So as cool as this card is, it is sadly dead on arrival.
This deck is cool. Play it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
A holy undead dragon rider who keeps fighting as long as there are dragons at your hand. I am very tempted to make a heavy dragon paladin deck in wild just to test it. I love this card.
Yeah, I'm looking forward to this! Bring on the Dragon Paladins! Who knows, maybe I'll even get to finally use Nozari from Rise of Shadows... :P
valanyr on a stick, there's no value lost here
Pretty good for a dragon deck
I wonder if running Faceless Manipulator with this would be worth it.
Played on curved in a mid ranged deck basically closes the game, if you opponent doesn't have a silence.
But like secret and highlander paladin, without any card draw it will probably be tier 2 at best.
Hoping for dragon pally so dragon speaker sees play :)
Ohh I´m so ready to get the polymorphs back into my mage decks, because cards like this could get out of hand very easily. Strong recurring hand-buff that needs to be either morphed or silenced to stop it.
Val'anyron a stick! Paladin already has a multitude of handbuff cards and one of the best dragon synergies so this would have no problem seeing play. This would also curve out amazingly if you have [Hearthstone Card (Nozdormu, the Timeless) Not Found] in your hand; a 4-mana 11/11 on turn 4 is nuts and the opponent most likely would have mulliganed away single target removal cards.
Well it's over
It may be good on curve, but otherwise doesn't seem too powerful. Maybe it'll work, sometimes you just need a critical mass of support for an archetype and even the weaker cards can jump on the synergy train.
maybe the final push that dragon paladin needed? It has good stats for 3 manas and an ongoing effect. If placed on a deck heavy on midrange dragons, it can potentially become a meta defining card. Now it all depends on what more dragons are going to be added, and what does the paladin dragon that discovers a dragon looks like.
I think this is only good in a deck with multiple smaller dragons. Hoping for some of those for years now, Faerie Dragon can't do it alone.
Can we also get a card that gives a minion the dragon type. Asking for a friend Immortal Prelate.
My favorite card so far.
Do you know how it feels to wait Dragon Pally since the announcement of Year of the Dragon ?
It feels like a Dragonrider truly!
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
I've got a pretty wicked Wild Dragon pally deck, and with this next set also being chock full of Dragons, I can see some love coming to the deck.
i think the card will be as good as the dragons you have in your deck. Example, you play a 4 mana dragon after this hits compared to a 9 mana dragon that you might not use until 6 turns later
This seems pretty good, but it has the potential to backfire quite easily if it hits a big 9-Drop dragon like ysera instead of a 4-drop. I think that they should have made it more consistent by making it give the buff to the lowest-cost dragon in your hand (or maybe the rightmost one) so that it wouldn't create huge random swings
Great mechanic and flavor that suits the lower-tier Paladin archetypes of late - but with big Noz incoming things may change quick.
Can only be stopped by silence (I suppose you have a lot of dragon if you're playing it), really good card.
Cheap valanyr, I like it. Dragon pala is so flavourful
You cannot skip your sadhana. N.M.
Awesome flavour and will surely see play! The value is great and could see it working in both an aggressive or control deck.
Seems strong and fun, but I think dragon paladin will quickly run out of dragons in hand to buff with no card draw. Bronze Herald helps, though.
A very interesting card for handbuff/dragon paladin. It is a fair 3 drop, a 3/3 for 3, but it will also have a continuous effect for the rest of the game. We have seen a similar effect with Val'anyr, which seems better as it gives better stats, and it can give it to more minions, and it is also a weapon. I would like to say that this card will work out very well, but seeing as to how Val'anyr hardly saw any play, I am skeptical.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
We obviously will need to see what dragons paladin has access to but it seems interesting in that you can possibly curve Cathedral Gargoyle into this to hopefully make sure you get that value going without falling awfully behind on board. Making massive dragons while playing on curve is very powerful so we'll see how this does. Silence could be an issue but that's gonna be entirely based on the meta.
Seems really fun and good addition for dragon paladin deck to use! I'm gonna try out a dragon paladin deck once the expansion release.
I can’t wait to try this. Maybe play both this and Val’anyr in wild with Rivendare...
I really like the concept. It'd be very cool to see it chain from dragon to dragon (to dragon).
" We're going infinite! "*
*Until dragon supplies last
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
This makes it seem like Dragon Paladin just is going to be a thing. Obviously the deathrattle just spirals itself out of control, and so if this is good then Silence will begin to be mandatory. Either way, it seems like a really cool card that does something really dynamic and I like that sort of card a lot.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
It's a cheaper Val'anyr and comes with a fairly statted body. It looks better than the weapon on paper, though it's vulnerable to silence. Still, it looks like the card that could make Dragon Paladin viable (at least I hope it does, because I would love to play that deck).
Dragon Paladin is decent enough already but like Dragon Warrior is best placed to benefit from a raft of new Dragon cards. This looks good to me.
Silence may become big again
-=alfi=-
Solid 3 drop for a dragon paladin deck, hopefully the deck is worth running.
In wild we have a few. Twilight guardian and such...
I will definitely try this. May be too slow though.
Valnyr was definitely harder to take care off because you needed ooze or weapon removal teched. My concern with this card is the lack of early to mid game dragons to get the benefit of the buff.
Of course, Nozdormu the Timeless could take care of that by progressing straight to the late game. Fun card
This card is crazy strong. It has to be meta definding, because there will be a lot of dragons and this buff seems superstrong.
Handbuffladin - Bronze Herald, Dragon Speaker, Glowstone Technician, this legendary. I hope this deck will be too slow, I don't want to deal with overbuffed minion each turn.
What's the most powerful card in Hearthstone?
A credit card.
Handbuff is strong when it kicks in early, AND with other board-based synergy (eg Mech).
Dragonbuff is none of that yet, and while it may still snowball really hard, i can see this as part of a meta deck only if the Dragon Handbuff deck also includes decent Tempo swings, such as taunt, or removals.
Surely Talritha is an interesting card.
Cool flavor but I doubt it will see play
It's a 3 mana 3/3 with a good to super good upside, depending on how fast your opponent can silence the deathrattle or you run out of dragons.
Got as a hidden text "if you are holding a dragon" you need to run as many dragons as you can and not just 6 for synergies like dragon warrior did.
Maybe finally we will see dragon paladin be a thing
4 stars because it's only good in dragon paladin and don't know if its good or not but a solid card in that deck
Nice nice and nice :)
I'm not online it's just your imagination
need to wait more dragons, coz handbuff doesn't working even strong one - too slow, maybe they will give a lot of taunt dragons and draw more dragons. Without it, it s weak like 4-3 leg who triggers secret twice or Kangor, they are very strong cards, but no deck for them (i know Kangor played in otk paly, but deck is not so popular).
Sounds good on paper, but in reality, if this bounced onto a big dragon (like Ysera or Alex) it'll be a while before you can make use of it again.
IT's not a bad card, but it'll only see play if Dragon paladin doesn#t have a better gameplan at the end.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Feels like valanyr but with dragons and as a minnion.
I'm just happy to see legendarys with low mana cost. It definitely looks interesting. I predict a tier 2/3 halfway competitiv Dragon Paladin deck with this and Nozdormu the Timeless. Looks like fun, will give it a try if I pull one or both out of my packs :-) still missing Brightwing though...
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
on curve is very strong, but i don´t like so much
We will have to find out what dragon support on lower mana there will be for this card. Altogether a neat waterfall effect, although completely useless in arena.
More Dragons are always nice :)
I love dragon decks and this will definitely see play in a tempo oriented Dragon deck!
The Forgotten Wilds - Druid
Gonna be a good card for sure.
really good card for dragon decks with decent stas and cost.
Seems pretty good im
Rage quitting: the best way to ensure your opponent knows they beat a giant baby.
Dragonpaladin will most definitely become a thing in the next year (especially after boomsday mechs and khandor's army go to wild) and this will be in the deck 100% of the time.

EU Legend: S52 (ZooHeal Lock); S76 (Highlander Hunter);
Very good card. If you have a cheap dragon at hand early in the game this can pretty much give you the winning condition unless your opponent has a silence.
One of the best cards revealed so far. 100% added to Dragon Paladin deck. It curves so nicely as well at 3 mana into Bronze Herald, which means you wouldn't have to worry about a dragon-less hand wasting the effect.
chain mechanic seems cool, but i guess silences will be back at it again [*]
This one could be strong (and fun) if you manage to build a Paladin deck with a lot of dragons. Otherwise, quite meh. And I never saw much of Val'anyr.
I see a lot of dragon paladin fans here! Nice!
It's a pity you can only run 1 copy, it's very good on turn 3 if you have a dragon in hand you can play on 4 (even a Twilight Drake would do, it could easily be a 7/9), but if you draw it in the late game it does not have a huge value. We will see!
The pleasure is mine.
My last standard decks: nothing special right now.
early mini Val'anyr could be really powerful pretty much free kings till the buff dies. You can draw it consistently with Call to Adventure too
HandBuff Dragon Paladin huh, seems neat. But I wonder if it will be actual played deck. The archetype hasn't been anything too spectacular so far.
Really want this one to work!
Lemushki - The one and only since the 2006 rebranding.
thats good card. Not bonkres, but for dragon decks it'll do its job - buff +3 to health is very strong in early/mid game (+3 to attack does not have so great impact)
If dragon pally is a thing this card def makes it in. I feel like it’s a less reliable Warbot that sticks around the whole game
Val'anyr was really good at 6, and this comes down right before Nozdormu the Timeless...4 mana 11/11 with a great deathrattle seems pretty sweet...
Silence meta Inc! Seriously, this is a strong card that can quickly get out of hand. My favorite deck type is a mid-range deck with beefy minions, so I'll be trying this card for sure.
Not very excited about this card. Don't believe it will se play.
Reminds me of Valanyr. Great value obviously but the card is probably way too slow to ever be played
This card has a cool flavor, but i don't think is that strong, it requires to have dragons in your hand all the time and you have to run a lot of them for this to happen. I'm not convinced for now
Love the flavour of the card; will definitely be trying to include it in a dragon paladin deck.
My only question is: will +3/+3 be a good enough buff in the upcoming meta? It seems like a lot of the new cards have good stats and some crazy effects, I wonder if Talritha will make any impact...
Started playing HS in May, 2015. The bad news: I missed the excitement of 'Naxx out?' and GvG. The good news: I never met an Undertaker.
Don't see the resemblance really a 1/3 mech with potential for a 2/2 or 2/1 vs a 3/3
I’ve heard complaints about this possibly buffing big dragons before you can play them. I’m envisioning a deck with NuZdormu to correct this problem, plus maybe Immortal Prelate, Da Undatakah, Baleful Banker, or possibly the Quest package.
I'm shocked that so many people think this is unplayable. This card is a MUST-answer threat, and the only answers are silence or transform, which are NOT super common inclusions in deck builds. This will see play, and it will be VERY good.
Death Dragon deck? Maybe Handbuff can work with it too.
While this card will pretty much only be in a dragon deck, you won't want to play the big dragons since you will want to be able to play the dragon that gets the buff as soon as possible. A deck that runs cheap dragons such as Faerie Dragon, Bronze Herald, Twilight Drake and maybe even Brightwing might work with this card.
Maybe you could go for some of the bigger dragons if you use Nozdormu the Timeless.
More dragons? Yes please!
This card is def op for it's effect. Constant snowballing the dragons one by one. GG to opponent once they run out of removals. Time to put a silencer back into the deck.
A very strong tempo card for a dragon paladin, which reminds me a Val'anyr deathrattle. So i guess we got a very strong and solid card. Need to test it out =)
Really good and a very cool idea of a dragon rider jumping from dragon to dragon after each one dies.
Great flavor, beautiful art, and amazing value card. Does not feel mandatory for a dragon deck, more like good to have. That's why I'd love to open it, so I don't have to think about crafting a class specific. :)
I made a neutral card 5 mana 4/4 that gives +3/+3 buff upon deathrattle AND shares the deathrattle to another minion on the board, this card is fine and more fair compared to mine. Glad I am NOT part of the blizzard team, I would break the game otherwise lol.
Dragon Paladin, rejoice, it would be one of the strongest Dragon dedicated deck out there....i has my hopes on. This card is just crazy, infinte buffs (unlti you get silenced)
So, very similar to Val'anyr but its faster so long as there are dragons in hand - don't need to break a weapon for the buff. Downside is you cannot always control when the deathrattle will go off.
Could be strong if a midrange minion focused Dragon Paladin is a thing.
Very strong and flavourful. Looking forward playing with this card, seems very fun
This makes me think to a more viable Val'anyr, could be cool.
dragon pally just became a midrange powerhouse
Staple in dragon paladin decks, there are so many dragons that the chances of missing the deathrattle are low.
If your deck have a decent ammount of dragon, you WANT to play this card for sure. Anyway is a 3 mana 3/3: no downside even if deathrattle don't proc...but if it's proc you have infinite value potential
I love the idea of chaining dragon after dragon with this buff.
Now i just need to open it to play dragon paladin
Finally Dragon Paladin becomes playable. The stats of this card are good for 3 mana, and you manage to always hold a dragon when the deathrattle goes off, the value of this card will be insane.
Value Value, feels bad if the dragon is Hexed afterwards
Im not so sure val'anyr was better. It costs twice as much mana for the same amount of stats, and it required you to swing twice to continue the loop. This card is limited to dragons, but its much easier to get the effect to chain.
Fantastic card assuming the Dragon Paladin is a thing. Especially scary with any of the new “Evasive” dragon cards. So long as Dragon Paladin has enough upside to play, this card should be worthwhile.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Cool effect, but on the slow side. It may be too hard for the value chain to take off.
An interesting card. You have to play a deck with lots of dragons to keep the chain going on. I hope Dragon paladin is a thing.
Gives something for dragon paladin decks to do early while also paying off in the mid and late game. Looks pretty decent.
If played turn 3, the value is immense, but it's still really good even if you play it later assuming you have some dragons.
I like the flavor of "dragonrider" - when her dragon is killed, she just jump on another. There are also many ways how to abuse her deathrattle to create gigantic dragons I look forward to.
Fun and interactive game.
