Very interesting that this can go face. Makes it better since flexibility is always good, but I feel like you'd use this for removal most of the time anyway. Solidly good card!

Faster Amethyst Spellstone seems very good, even if it is conditional. Although it won't make or break the card, being able to go face could help a midrange or control Dragon Warlock find the damage to close out games.
Member Lesser Amethyst Spellstone ? This one is 2 mana cheaper and requires a dragon in hand instead of hurting yourself. Considering we got draconic lackey zoo may easily get a dragon in hand and then this becomes incredibly overpowered. Zoo may come back after weak period in SoU meta.
Lack of healing is what is keeping Neferset Thrasher and Diseased Vulture back at the moment. But I don't know how many dragons you'd be able to fit into a deck with those cards. Crowd Roaster would fit into a tempo deck. Perhaps Twilight Drake is good enough as a tribal Yeti, but to get Yeti stats you have to draw or at least skip on some of your early turns if you go first. Dragonmaw Scorcher is a good card in more defensive decks, but maybe not if you're a tempo deck that wants to go wide. So I guess it depends on what new dragons we'll see. I don't think Crazed Netherwing would fit, since it would be a bad play if you're ahead and in a tempo deck you probably don't have the ability to draw a lot of cards early to allow for situational cards.
Lifesteal is the main reason why this is good, since warlock tends to lose more health than other classes. Since we still don't know the two legendaries from warlock yet, there little support for dragonlock for this to be truly too good.
Clearly a very powerful card that goes in a Dragon Warlock deck alongside Crazed Netherwing.
Best comparison card I can think of is Lesser Amethyst Spellstone. Doesn't get as high in damage but is much cheaper and is on average better when topdecked, assuming a Dragon is in hand. Hard to see how the whole Dragon Warlock deck will look with so few cards revealed, but the two shown so far for Warlock seem very powerful for a mid to late game control deck.

Seems like the tempo version of Lesser Amethyst Spellstone . If dragon warlock is a thing this will most certainly be included I'd wager.

This is Shadow Bolt on steroids, sooo nutty :D
It can go face, keep that in mind. In other aspects, it's a worse darkbomb without synergy but an excellent small removal/healing with dragon
Yeah the "can go face" is what makes this card a little stronger than Amethyst spellstone, since it's extra reach if you need it.
if you have a dragon it's stupid strong, if you don't. MEH!

we just got our first warlock dragon so its kinda hard to rate but if it get some more good dragon/synergy its really good
agreed. Hopefully we can use these dragon-synergy cards. They seem op.
this card looks so promesing,that lifesteal is very op
