Another insane dragon-based card. But I don't know if it's quite playable or not, especially having number of cards on turn 4, it's basically Twilight Drake with aggressive stat. 5 Health is fine.
Could go great damage, but also gives a bit of information for your opponent.
looks like a filler, but could be a better yeti in the right deck.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
it's a very situational card. it will be good in a hard dragon oriented meta or crap if it's not the case.
Could get out of hand in an aggressive/tempo dragon deck.
I don't think it will see too much play just because of the sheer amount of different dragon synergy cards out there, and this one seems to be on the weaker side. It has no immediate impact on the board, could be a case of a 'win more' card.
Non-Dragon minions in a dragon deck need to have a more reliable effect than this to be worth it, imo.
Could be a buff Yeti... Or just a Yeti... Or worse...

I can see a world were this is a 8/5 most of the time.
this card could work, definitely gives an interesting twist to building dragon decks
Bit interesting that it’s a passive effect rather than a battlecry. Means it’ll just get weaker the more minions you play a lot of the time. Not that great
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
Works great in a world where you're generating and/or drawing a bunch of Dragons (like with the Explorers), but it's ultimately just a ball of stats. Do you really need this in your deck? Probably not.
can be a Chillwind Yeti at the turn 4 at best. More than a yeti maybe on late game. Good stats but not so great for ladder in my opinion.
I would say that it can be good for arena too if you can get so much dragons and this has dragon or any other tribe but I prefer 100 times Chillwind Yeti instead of this with how this is.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Need to hold 2 dragons for this to be better than yeti.. and better than yeti is not much seems like a decent arena card if you picked a lot of dragons.. and I forsee an arena rotation with a lot of dragons
Inconsistent but could be devastating with the right hand. As with Scalerider, a dragon tag would strengthen this card a lot.
So many dragon fillers, this can be potentially good in arena, and maybe a little agressive in constructed, but I think it's a little inconsistent.
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
with1 dragon it's only a vanilla minion
1 Dragon = Chillwind Yeti, 9 Dragons = 20/5 for 4 mana lol
I think this might find a slot somewhere in Dragon decks, despite not being a Dragon itself.
Big Dragon decks, possible 2 copy 4-mana 20/5?
Insane.
Must have in Dragon Decks, but also gives info to your opponent of how many dragons are in your hand.
Inconsistent and there are probably better cards to put in your dragon deck than this.
It only takes 1 Dragon to make this passable, and 2 makes it pretty scary. More than that and its a huge beatdown. That said, its not a Dragon itself and the number of non-Dragons you can run in any dragon deck is limited. So this will battle many other cards and may not find a home.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
It is a decent card, I am not sure if it is necessary though. We have gotten plenty of dragons that you can play on turns 4-6 that aren't bad. Plus that new 3/3 that deals 2 damage. So I don't think dragon decks will need this 4 drop.
Although, if you drop this right on turn 4 then it will probably stick for a turn, and all you have to do is hold 3 dragons and BAM 8 damage on your opponent.
But in the end, I don't think it will be all too reliable, and I don't think dragon decks will even need a 4 drop that bad.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
You need two dragons in hand before this is better than just running Chillwind Yeti, and its presence on board a) tells your opponent how many dragons you're holding and b) incentivizes you not to play your cards. Seems really awful.
too inconsistent and field dependent for this to work..even with all the upcoming dragon meta decks this is pretty slow..won't be included in my deck.
It might be a good option for an agressive or midrange deck based on dragons. It might get a high attack but it gives an opponent information about your hand which is not a big deal for a fast deck. A strong card and i think we'll see it on ladder.
This is potentially a strong card, and it might see play. The problem is to find a spot in your deck to fit this in. And again, this card is not a Dragon itself. It also gives information to your opponent about how many Dragons you have in hand. I think it might see play in Tempo/ Midrange Dragon decks, and Highlanders, but perhaps not in the slower Control'ish style of Dragon decks;
A tagteam with style.
I love the art - instantly reminds me of "drive me closer; I want to hit them with my sword!" which is just wonderful.
This seems like card that's either going to be OP or see no play. I could see adding to Paladin and Warrior especially given Bronze Herald & War Master Voone to help keep you hand full of dragons. While an irregular occurrence to be sure, this boy COULD have up to *22* attack. With just 2 dragons, it's a 6/5 for 4 mana - that's not too shabby.
the card itself isn't bad. To make it great you have to have 2 or 3 dragon in hand tho, which means you aren't probably in a good position to win the game.
Could be really spooky in an aggro dragon deck, but I don't expect it to be consistent enough
This card is good only if you have allways 2 or more dragon in your hand. Seem inconsistent, so probably it's just a filler card
The problem is you have to keep the dragons in your hand, but might work if midrange dragon decks find a home.
Also, turn 3 Coin + this, then turn 4 double Dragon Roar.
Arena card. You will not play this in any dragon deck. Too inconsistent and does close to nothing.
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
in a dragon deck fits very well i think, 6/5 most of times easily
Well, this is a fun card to get from rng, but to put it in a deck...mehhh
You only need 2 dragons in hand to make this into a 4 mana 6/5 and it can get even stronger. It does give your opponent information on how many dragons you have and this might make you not want to play your dragons so that you can keep its high attack. It's a nice card to play if you are running a lot of higher cost dragons.
More dragons? Yes please!
May create some snowballing if dropped on curve and remain unchecked for just a couple of turns.
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the world, and loses his own soul?"
So with the warlock, this could have +24 attack if your hand is full of dragons I'm not sure why you would do that but it could be crazy powerful. Wild quest mage might use these as some weird OTK but otherwise this seems like just a basic but still nice minion
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
Hmm, I think that even in a dragon deck this would be too inconsistent.
I'm happy that they are adding bad dragons to the discover pool this wont even see play in arena.
Meh card. If it was permanent effect it would be very good.
This card is interesting. While you give your opponent some information about your hand, this card can easily become a 6/5 for 4 mana, or even stronger. This card will most likely see play in heavy dragon decks.
A single dragon will bring this up to vanilla, Chillwind Yeti stats. Having two or more makes this a frightening bruiser. Definitely worth running in a Dragon deck.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
It doesnt really seem that great to me. You need 2 drakes just to make it a little better than a Yeti, and nobody is playing yetis anytime soon.
We had that, Midnight Drake, and it never saw play. for 4-6 mana, the attack value doesnt matter much as long as it is above 3. The health part is what matters and 5 health for no taunt, stickiness or extra effect is just not enough.
Besides, you have to avoid play dragons in order to keep its value.
Could get very scary with at least 2 dragons in hand, but I don't know if it will be good enough for constructed.
If you are already playing a dragon deck it doesn't really matter as long as you have enough stats. Yetti stats are still not bad this is better.
You have to play a deck with lots of Dragons to make this card good. I think it'll be played very little.
Can put on some early pressure. Not sure this is enough for it to see play.
It is way too situational to see any play. Four mana for this? No thanks. Next.
Elders Scrolls : Legends / Runeterra
You're right that with enough stats, it doesn't really matter, but getting to that number is hard. You need a lot of dragons to consistently have 2+ in your hand without also being stuck not playing those dragons. That's gonna mean running some of the weaker dragons and not running some of your stronger spell options. This card is just too close to vanilla too often to make it worth building around.
Very good card for dragon decks in the new expansion. The only downside I see is the fact it gives information to your opponent about the card you are holding.
I see this card only in budget dragon decks with every possible dragon in the deck.
Fun and interactive game.
Mhe, kinda boring on its own - can be good in the right build - but much more conditional. I wouldn't compare it to Twillight Drake, as don't see them belonging to the same tier at all.
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Totally agree, it makes your dragon deck worse for an effect that doesn't carry you to late game. I don't think it will be played
not good enough to see play, kinda slows down your playstyle
If it was a battlecry, would be way better. The dynamic portion is meh.
