solid. the legendary buffing this is great, with 1 more cheap dragon we can see midrange dragon paladin be legit
Amber Watcher, Nozdormu the Timeless, Nozari, Bronze Herald...
Dragon-Pally is coming together Boys!

Great with buffs, like Dragonrider Talritha. Lifesteal feels kind of random, though.
Buffed Lifesteal for big healing maybe? Cute card <3
This will see play for it's "discover a Dragon" effect, and it's decently costed/ stat'ed to be good against Aggro as well. I'm sure this will see play.
This is exactly the type of dragons that Paladin needs. Cheap anti-Aggro but still amazing value. This will see play for sure (I'm even considering it for Odd Paladin)
Pretty solid card for a control dragon paladin deck that is already a theme for a paladin this expansion. Lifesteal is also a nice keyword to have on this. It's much more appreciated for paladin than example divine shield or taunt. Will definitely see play if dragon paladin is any good
Cheap heal that discovers a dragon? Why not!
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Solid cheap, lifesteal, "discover dragon" card. Buffed with lifesteal...this card is gonna be in Paladin decks. Paladin is getting good cards
compared to mage (my main)...really disappointed..
Good stats and effect. My only problems are thematic and are not specific to this card, but that’s business as usual for Paladin.
Pretty good card, just looked boring at first glance lol.
The effect is nice, still I think his stats are too low for a 3 mana minion.
What a great common. Back in the day, those often didn't have any text!
seems bad at first, but you gotta keep in mind that lifesteal is quite good. So a solid 3 star
A good early dragon that any dragon paladin deck would love to run and it doesn't seem to be exclusive to such a deck since the card looks good enough on its own.
More dragons? Yes please!
A nice low cost dragon that gives you a bit of survivilability without losing value.
Of the bunch of dragons that have this effect this one ties with the hunter one as the best ones, because they are the cheapest.
The card is not the strongest thing in the world, but if a paladin dragon deck that want to runs a lot of dragon will exist this will be played.
I'd even say that this maybe will be runned in a deck that doesn't go that heavy on dragons and play a lower number of them, which will probably be the better deck in the first place.
Not good, not bad, has it place in the right decks, i like it
Cutest leech dragon ever. And great staying power for the deck too.
Finally a playable early minion with lifesteal. It's a good card with a nice value (Wickerflame Burnbristle is bad).
Good with Crystalsmith Kangor too if this gets buffed up, or just get healed for 4.
Good card with interesting effects!
Solid, solid card that brings us closer and closer to a viable Dragon Paladin deck. Buffing this with Dragonrider Talritha and Dragon Speaker would be great. Although if you ask me, this gets 5 stars from the card art alone.
3 mana 2/3 generate a dragon is already good, add lifesteal and paladin dragon handbuffs and you’ve got a stellar tool for Dragon Paladin.
Like the other Explorers this just seems solid. Works even well with the Dragon Handbuff cards.
With so many discover dragon effects high rolls will be crazy since the class discover chance change.
I'm kinda jealous of paladin dragons now while Azure Explorer is 4 mana this cost 3, why cant mage have early game.
Will be played for sure in Dragon pala decks, but I'm not quite sure in other archetypes.
Dragon Pally is going to be EPIC! This is a nice utility, early game minion, and buffed later a beast mid /end game.
Discover dragon at a low cost and lifesteal makes this a nuisance..good card for dragon pally.
Dragon-Heal-adin ; I love where this is going
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
A cheap flexible dragon that adds a dragon to your hand! It is kinda like Bronze Herald only the dragon you get will probably be better than a 4 mana 4/4.
There may not be enough card slots in a deck to include this, but it is a pretty flexible card and a nice option for budget players if nothing else.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Yes, yes, yes! The fact this has lifesteal makes this card a huge winner in my potential Highlander dragon healadin deck. How to fit 30 cards in this type of deck is going to be an issue
For dragon decks it’ll see play, beyond that there’s not too much you’ll play it for, since it doesn’t really do much for you unlike the other explorer dragons
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
This just seems good. Reasonable cost, great upside, just exactly what you are looking for in Dragon Paladin. I wish this effect didn't seem repeated in so many of the classes to just overly force it being good though.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
2/3 + discover for 3 is already good enough for the card to be good.
Life steal is a bonus also dragon synergy, would say it's broken if they didn't disable the discover class bonus, which I think was a mistake.. I mean 400% bonus-> 0% bonus
They didn't even comment on that..
Good early game defense and replaces itself for later turns. Solid and flexible.
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
They need to make these 2/3 explorer dragons just 3/3 discover a card 2/3 is not great stats
Kenny's little poet. 😇
So, quite obviously now, Dragon Paladin is going to be Healadin as well.
The archetype still lacks a clear wincondition tho. So far, it could be sheer lategame Value.
This one is a nice little fella.
Certainly too slow for Aggro or Tempo purposes.
Decent, but I feel like Dragon Paladin has enough heal already...and still doesn't really have an actual gameplan outside of not dying for a while.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Nice addition to Dragon Paladin and Highlander variants, should be played quite a bit.
Lifesteal is nice, more ways to stay in the game with a greedier mana curve. Nice card, one of the better explorer cards we have seen so far.
A very cute dragon! I love the art! Looks very strong and solid for pally. Lifesteal, dragon discovering and 2-3 stats for 3 mana is already good and we know there are tools to buff it. And a strong arena pick again. I'm sure Bronze Explorer will fit in dragon pally deck.
interesting, i´m in with dragon pala
let´s go buff!
Dragon that discovers a dragon is 5 stars for me. On top of that it's cheap and has a good buffable effect.
Nice effects and cute art. Nothing more to say.

a dragon + lifesteal + refuel a dragon in your hand is amazing.
Dragon Paladin continue to look better and better. Very pleased!
Good support for dragon healadin or a more midrange dragon paladin deck as well.
I'm loving all the small dragons with discover a dragon battlecry
Great card - getting a little scared of Paladin
good if you get it from random effects 2/5
Solid card: nice defence tool and good value from discover. Auto-include in dragon midrange/controll paladin
Yay, cute card! Not so sure about this, paladin already have a lot of healing and this seems like a weak tempo play. B
Good card. It may heal your hero, gives you dragon of your choice... Nice
A pretty solid card overall, I don't see many reasons as to why you wouldn't want to run this card in your deck.
I think I will play this card if, for nothing else, because of the ridiculous toothy grin of the card art.
I'm giving any card with "discover a dragon" an automatic 4 stars. There are so many good dragons that will be available to choose from that you won't get many duds out of playing them. Having life steal on an early game minion will help against aggro as well. Good solid card.
Unfortunately, common sense isn't as common as it should be.
A solid 3 drop with lifesteal and a discover effect. This card is quite strong. I wouldn't say it is OP but definitely a staple i many paladin decks.
Discover tag for self replacement, decent stats, dragon, great tool for Tempo Dragon Paladin, this deck is becoming real.
So risky to play thanks to newly revealed Dragonmaw Poacher.
I hate when blizzard do this. I have thought I have finally play some great Dragon pally. He just disappointed me again and again.

This is wayyy better than Stitched Tracker as it works even when your deck runs out of minions. It has better stats and the lifesteal is a nice addition as a soft taunt. Busted, like a big portion of this set.

This card is soooooooooooooooOOOO cute! I wanna hug him! 10/10 for cuteness. But overall, meh card.
i think its the worst one of the cycle.
Not the best Explorer but still pretty good, his face is kinda cute for a Lifesteal card tho.
I mean its good but compared to the other explorers it's pretty lackluster I think it could have done with a stat boost or different effect especially since paladin doesn't have many heal synergies this expansion
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
So much healing is making me hopeful for a strong control paladin archetype.
Another good card for Dragon Paladin. The Lifesteal is not very relevant due to the low attack, but a 2/3 body and discovering another dragon are great value.
Excellent card for no Neutral Paladin
This might push paladin over the edge to have enough dragons for a full dragon deck to work.
Possibly the weakest of the explorer dragons. The statline is poor and the Lifesteal on such a low attack minion is probably too small to be relevant.
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
I like this guy a lot. With that artwork why not call him Yoshi?!
This card do a lot of things , lifesteal and discover so nice
Not impressed. Early healing is usually wasted, and this provides bad tempo. That new dragon counter might make it unplayable. Still, not bad versus tokens early and okayish handbuff target.
Discovering a dragon is just automatically great this expansion. This looks very good in arena and okay in other formats. It should deffo be played in a dragon deck though.
Also the lifesteal feels off. Dont think its gonna matter really. I would much rather have wanted it to be a 3/4 than having lifesteal tbh.
Strong arena card. A good supporting card for dragon paladin.
I love the design! A Dragon that discovers a Dragon and has lifesteal. It might even be run in decks that are not Dragon oriented.
Looks decent, the Lifesteal is usually pretty useless though. Works with Dragonrider Talritha.
Lifesteal is (for paladin) meh and stats are not good. Only upside of it is dragon generation, which can be enough to put it in dragon themed decks.
Fun and interactive game.
