I already didn't say that the card is bad etc. I just said that the card is not broken as you thought.
Ok, It is frustrating to see coin + Frizz Kindleroost but not frustrating enough to be Prince Keleseth tier of frustrating. Prince Keleseth is a 2-cost card. Can be played on turn 1 twice with Shadowstep but that's not possible for Frizz Kindleroost. It is turn 3 at best. If you want to play it twice like Prince Keleseth in a turn, you need to wait for 6 mana and then you need to draw all of those dragons in turn 7 and you don't build dragon decks with only dragon minions. You need other guys to support your deck. So, you don't draw dragons in every turn. With Prince Keleseth, You always draw minions which are affected by Prince Keleseth's battlecry because it effects ALL minions, unlike Frizz Kindleroost.
I am saying that card is good enough to be a part of tier 1-4 decks but not broken af. That's all.
5 mana 5/5 deal 5 damage NOT random? Broken card on paper. If in the future an overload shaman or an aggressive shaman will rise...we will hate this card
This card has no downside and has a very Strong effect. Every dragon deck Will run it. The stats are good, there is absolutely no reason not to play it with some dragons in the deck. Its just so lame... There Will be no decisions in making a dragon deck? Just put in the autoincludes and voila? I love theorycrafting decks but these type of cards just crushes peoples imagination and creativity.
I think this card is being slightly overestimated.
It dies against 3x 4/4, which is not an exceedingly big board.
In other words, it really shines when the board to clear is just fair - because DW would clear and survive, generating an enormous Tempo swing.
But if you need a full-blown board clear (against a serious board), this DW may whiff harder than its original iteration, while Warrior has safer options.
I really like your articles about runeterra @neonangel. They are great for showcases about the upcoming game and includes useful information about mechanics of the game etc. I am looking forward to other region-themed articles.
By the way, thanks for mentioning my deck in the article. I had some connection issues and couldn't write in time. I really did not think that one of my decks can be a part of article of first page tho. :)
The deck that I've made needs some tinkering in my opinion but represents some core mechanics of Shadow Isles. I've built that because I saw a lot of Shadow of Isles decks but didn't see a deck like this. Almost all first/second preview players used the region for Zed/hecarim aggro/midrange, Some kind of Sacrifice deck and She Who Wanders decks. I wanted to show people that they can build a token deck with Elise + Demacia and without Noxus. It acted well but needs some tinkering tbh. I will update all of my decks when the beta begins because of some bad parts of the deck and I think that they will bring some changes with the closed beta release.
That was great for me to see the deck in the article really. Thanks for that again. :)
i see this card more like Prince Keleseth or Luna's Pocket Galaxy. If you can make good deck with card like this, you can still play your game, but drawing it early makes you almost insta-win. We have been there, and seeing cards like this being coined by your opponent is one of worst hearthstone experience. In my opinion it is just bad for the game.

New Rogue Minion - Stowaway
A card that supports fun great decks!
Neat.
EDIT: It also draws the specific cards?!? This card is going to be a top-tier carry in the game.

Bandersmosh
Rng card. In the right spot can be so strong, but you can't build a deck around this card.
So...funny but probably not competitive
New Neutral Minion - Frizz Kindleroost
So glad that it didn't reduce the cost in the hand, but still insane.
Bet there are some more good cards hiding around like this one.
New Neutral Minion - Frizz Kindleroost
holy shit, there's zero drawback . insane card 5/5

Stowaway
This card enable some combo (Shadow of Death, Baleful Banker, Togwaggle's Scheme, Lab Recruiter, Academic Espionage, Fal'dorei Strider ). In the right deck can be a strong tutor
Frizz Kindleroost
GG EZ
Praise Galakrond!
This card will see play only if Rouge need desperately an invoke card
Candle Breath
Draw 3 card for 3 mana it's huge (or 1 with Preparation). In a deck with some dragon is a really strong card
New Neutral Minion - Frizz Kindleroost
Great in a Murloc deck. Even better in a Dragon deck.
Dragon's Hoard
A card is based only on RNG: good leggendary -> op card that enable unpredictable combo; bad leggendary -> you are playing with 28 card

Seal Fate
I don't like the 3 mana cost...to high for me.
New Warrior Minion - Deathwing, Mad Aspect
Seems super cool. You can use commanding shout with this and it desteoys all minons and summons a 12 1
New Warlock Spell - Fiendish Rites
Two 1 1s and give minion plus 1 attack seems pretty good.will see play in zoo galakrondd
Umbral Skulker
Obtain 3 or 6 coin in Rouge can be really interesting, but this car need a deck that ensure a double invoke in the mid game
Dinosaur Wishes
So many secrets and no Emerald Spellstone? No Unleash the Beast either? Do you not like them for some reason?
New Warlock Minion - Abyssal Summoner
Seems pretty op.pushes handlock with the new legendary.will try it ou
Necrium Apothecary
This card can be scarry... if any op deathrattle will be released in this set or in next one, this card can tutor and mimic it's effect
Breath of the Infinite
In a dragon prist it's a consacration for 3 mana...so for me it's a good card and will be played for sure
Arcane Breath
Value plus ealry control board. Can be played in the right deck
