Decent card, but you can get unlucky and summon a dragon you want to battlecry.
nice card. good mechanic in this expansion theme and fair stats
yeah no, unless your deck is 90% dragons and you know your opponent'S isn't this is Russian Roulette with dragons
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Decent, but you have to be running so many dragons to ensure this pays off in your favour.
Could have a huge tempo swing, if you are playing big dragons without battlecry. Probably see some experimentation but I feel it won't make the cut.
Even if you miss out on the battlecry from a dragon it can still be nice for the big body. That alone might not be enough though, even if you could reliably draw a dragon
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Reminds me of Wrathion, but potentially worse.
The value here is very dependent on the deck you're playing and playing against, so very meta dependent, but its a cool card that could be very fun. Again, its a Dragon related card that isn't a dragon so the number of these that fit into any dragon deck is small, and this probably isn't good enough to make the cut most of the time.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
Maybe we'll see some Big Dragon Decks?

Too random, benefits your opponent too, Wrathion was similar and also wasn't even close to being good, this card is just bad.
with big dragons this is okay i guess? does it also summon dragons for the opponent?
Well, i can see the wrathion mentions but there wwere not too much dragons in that time, I'm sure of that if Wrathion is in standard with this expansion, it would see more play than before.
To this card, whenever i see a card that makes your oppenent draw cards, I can only think mill archetypes even they can't be part of one.
I know i can't use this in a mill deck but still want to try and observe it.

- Opponent: Battlecry summon Deathwing
- Me: Draw a spell
Concede
You need to be lucky in-that you drew a Dragon worth putting on the field without a Battlecry, and you need to not summon a minion for your opponent. Seems like a hard sell.
Inconsistent. Potentially devastating. I don’t think i will use it much, but i will hate to encounter it.
I agree to say that this card is dependent on the deck you're playing and playing against. If you are sure that your opponent hasn't dragon and you can summon most of the time some big dragon, this card can be worthy
A must in dragon decks? Or double edged sword if the meta is too much dragon decks?

Drawing cards for the opponent is still bad, even if you can get an upside. I don't think this will see play.
I didn't liked, it's so rng, high cost card, and giving draw for your opponent sucks.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
its super high roll but at worse it also summons it for you OP
Inconsistent, but giving your opponent cards is always a no unless you're trying to mill him.
If you play against a dragon deck its a problematic card. If not, good for you. 3 stars for this.
Oh boy, Warrior Deathwing here we go.
If you are playing a deck with enough dragons that this triggers more often than it doesn't, it is worth it to have this in your deck. A 6 mana 5/5 both players draw is kinda wonky, but when you are able to get another body on the board it is worth it. And even if you don't this isn't the worst effect in the world when played at the right time. You either play this when you are out of options and you just really need a taunt or rush dragon to survive, but most of the time you play this on a relatively small board so that even if you don't get a dragon it works out alright, but then if you do get a dragon it is amazing.
We got enough cheap dragons in this set that I could see someone playing a deck with 20 dragons in it, and it you are doing that, why wouldn't you want this?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
pretty insane considering the possibility of ruining someone's dragon combos but on a chance of ruining your own as well..might see some play in this..
Utgarde Grapplesniper looks bad. I'm reminded of Wrathion and Roll the Bones here - two cards whose value only came from loading up on tons of a specific type of card. Neither was good because it was so impractical to load your deck full of valid targets - there just isn't enough room in your deck. Even if you can find enough decent dragons to make this work frequently, you have the downside of drawing your opponent a card, and maybe even summoning a minion for your opponent.
It might work for a heavy dragon deck but i suppose it is not worth to this card on ladder. But in a specific meta thic card could see some play since it's a decent body and potentially a very strong battlecry.
Another card this expansion that draws a card for both players. "Gifting" your opponent a free draw is something that has never seen play in the past and it will not see play now. Sure there is a chance to highroll, but if your opponent has a Dragon deck the drawback of this card is game-losing. It won't be used in the metagame, not now or ever, I rate it 1 star. The only combo you can pull of is against a Dragon deck and combo'ing it with something like Dragonmaw Poacher, which is still too inconsistent. The stats aren't too great either, so it's a no for me.
Quite in interesting card- may be the centerpiece of some meme deck, maybe big dragon warrior?
This card is just awful. You have to play a deck full of dragons, and big dragons at that (because all this effort to pulling out a faerie dragon sucks) to make it maybe worth it. I don't think a deck like that would make it to turn 6; even if it does, putting a big dragon on the board has no immediate impact, unless it has taunt, rush or something like that.
If this card didn't draw your opponent a card i'd still vote this 1/5, because it does i'd vote this a negative number if it was possible.
I doubt this sees much play given the high cost and that it helps your opponent too for the *chance* to summon a dragon, many of which have very good battlecries that you would not want wasted.
i like it in a dragon deck, but also as tech against dragon deck
Mana cheating is always fairly spooky, we'll see if it's consistent enough
I hate this card. Can backfire soooooo high.
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
Mechanic is very cool! Still could be trouble if played in a dragon mirror match.
Too inconsistent, too weak for reward and too awkward. Even big dragon decks would run this as a high-risk high-reward that would mostly hold them back.
I wish I could give this 5 but the fact that you might pull nothing while your foe summons Deathwing doesn't seem that dandy without some spy tech you don't know if this will backfire and kill you horrendously or summon a big boi for you
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Dragons have good stats so this card is pretty good, it will see play in control for sure.
A cool card to use in a heavy dragon deck, but the potentail of summoning a dragon for your opponent makes it so it shouldn't see much competitive play.
More dragons? Yes please!
None dragon in a heavy dragon deck and giving card draw to aggro decks. Its not even a cheap card, no just no.
In a heavy dragon deck this card might work. However, most dragons have strong battlecries that won't trigger if the dragon gets summoned.
This card is so weak! You may lose game because of this. Strongly don't recommend to play it!
Yea this card looks like a super risky one to play. If ur opponent gets a free 8+ mana card that can attack right away youre in trouble.
Does too little for its cost just as a draw. Needs to hit a Dragon to be worthwhile. Doubt it will see play.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Rule of thumbs: If you're giving card draw to your opponent and you're not milling him, then you are helping him, and that's not good.
Interesting and terrible. You better have the ability to remove a big boy if you play this one
Very random, you might get screwed if you are playing against a dragon deck.
This card could be really good. Unless you are facing another dragon deck, then it could become a problem depending the dragons it summons.
Nice card that can high roll a lot, but also simply give a card to your opponent.
May be better in wild, standard will be full of dragon decks.
Not so great as it gives your opponent resources and depends too much on RNG or restricts your deck building too much.
It won't see any play. There are a lot of dragons that have a good battle cry and you want to play them. Also your opponent draws a card. That's no good.
Besides de fact that you could possibly get screwed on board, you're basically advancing your opponent deck. What a weird design. It will never see play in any serious deck. That's why I need to try it! :p

Super high roll card. Against dragon deck (and there will be plenty of them) potentially suicidal, so definitevely not worth playing.
Fun and interactive game.
Flavor is on point then : '' Note: The dragon may be a little cranky upon arrival. ''
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Maybe but not convinced. Give it only 2 stars since it can easily backfire. The less dragons in the meta the better this card is. Interesting design.
Do we really know it summons dragons for opponent too ? Is there a confirmation or a video about it ?
I mean card text says "Both players draw a card. If it's a dragon, summon it." instead of "Both players draw a card. If they are dragon, summon them."
That makes me think and evaluate the value again.

Because your opponent gets to attack first, I would see no reason to play this.
