    Elemental cards have similar battlecry to that, but the cards based on dragons are being well supported than many other tribes.

    It's gonna see play, no doubt.

    SI:7 is pretty strong, although most of its strength comes from coining it at 2 or comboing with Backstab.

    This is a decent card for dragon decks that need to tempo

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    The upside here isn't outrageous, and the downside isn't that bad. This card might see a lot of play if the non-Dragon card count is in the right place.

    To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

    SI:7 Agent for dragon decks.

    Looks really good honestly, even in Rogue when you can't combo the 3/3 body is often still 'fine'. Whether or not this sees any play is dependant on how crowded dragon decks are going to be, there are SO MANY cards to choose from and this might not make the cut.

    Little Blackwing Corruptor,

    I think this is better statted for its cost and better option for aggro/tempo decks.

    There was an elemental that costed 1 more and saw play, so this definitely should see some play. The dragon requirement isn’t even really that restricting unless you’re running the bare minimum

    Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

    [Hearthstone Card (SI: agent) Not Found] is a good card.. not too much to say about this card, solid.. maybe battlecry dragon shaman? a lot of dragons are battlecries and this is easier to do than have a lackey in play.. it's another direction for sure.. (like BC shaman didn't had enough builds)

    As Kripp (and others) have noted, it's SI:7 Agent but requires a Dragon in-hand instead of Combo. I've always found Combo to be a pain, whereas this is much more reliable on turn-3. Good card.

    Good 3-drop and tempo play for dragon decks. This card suffers from the lack of the dragon tag and could be scrapped therefor.

    It's ok for arena, maybe even in constructed if some dragon decks lacks good 3 mana drops.

    I'm sorry for my bad english :)

    Good 3-drop, si:7 without the combo, also just compare it to fire plume phoenix, it's a good tempo card.

    SI:7 Agent is a strong staple for Tempo Rogue, so this will probably be good in at least one class's dragon archetype.

    blackwing corruptor with weaker stats..may see some use but for now I don't see how this can be effective enough to be included.

    Most Dragon decks in the past were rather slow, and this card deals with early aggression just fine. SI:7 Agent sees play so I don't see a reason this wouldn't. Even without getting the effect of, a 3/3 for 3 isn't that bad, and can still be slammed on the board for Tempo. The only downside I see is that this card is not a Dragon itself. Tempo/ Midrange Dragon decks seems to be quite an effective deck in my opinion, lets see how they turn out :)

    This card is just amazing. It is cheap, and it helps you control the board. This card will probably be a crucial part in dragon deck success. A lot of the dragons are big late-game stompers, so it is nice to have something to do throughout the earlier turns.

    A good tempo tool for dragon decks, which they surely need. If a dragon deck will have this active reliably on turn 3 it will see play

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    More dragons? Yes please!

    It looks ok but its missing dragon tag there are so many good dragons. Druid, mage, priest, paladin, warrior, warlock will never play this card.

    A little far fetched, but considering that there are murloc related cards with dragon synergy meant to be played early game, whats stopping us from using them with this to make an agressive murloc dragon deck?

    Food for though.

    Simple, yet crazy strong card for tempo oriented decks. Fireplume Phoenix is amazing for board swing, and this is 1 mana cheaper, feels like auto include.

    I think this will be low impact against most of the decks that will appear since those will be midrange-lategame.

    3/3 deals 2 for 3 mana is actually pretty decent. It might not fit in any deck, but could find a place in tempo based one. maybe in some king kind of midrange paladin deck?
