Hah, such a fun card to play) I love it. One more interesting tech card we got this expansion. Does it steal an active weapon from an opponent right? So we can steal Kingsbane from rigue for example? I very like the possibility to make this kind of plays.
Look at the video guys. Theres no deathrattle. Its start of turn effect. Maybe with quest its harder to clear cause its 4 eggs but seems slow for an 8 mana play. Either way turn 6 u can easily clear 2 0/3. I dont see how is this card any good
I would guess they have deathrattle. If they don't, then it's pretty unusable and this set looks like it's way too OP to let an unusable legendary class card to slip out.
Unfortunately the reveal video doesn't show if the eggs are deathrattle, my guess is they are not in which case this card isn't extremely powerful if the eggs can be traded off by your opponent.
Obviously the battlecry could be quite nice with Shudderwock, and the eggs are effectively 0/3 taunts because you definitely do not want them to hatch.
Could see play but if there is counter-play to the eggs hatching, then this card doesn't seem to be that powerful.
This card is something a lot of people are hyped for. I get it, it does seem particularly strong, but of course the problem is running dragons for rogue. I guess that if high tempo dragons get printed, maybe this card will be played in tempo dragon rogue. The legendary dragon for rogue is not the high tempo dragon rogue would need to make such an archetype viable, so I am excited to see what blizzard is going to release.
And not to mention that your opponent can 'hatch' it for you, or steal it via mind control tech. Its only on the margins, but so much stats on one card cannot be easily ignored.
Its a dragon, and that's probably the most valuable thing on this stick.
A very good removal card! Volcanic potion was strong previously and this one is even stronger. Priest got a decent early removal against aggro and I'm sure this card will see a lot of play.
I assume it's a start of turn effect. Shouldn't be too hard for your opponent to clear 2 0/3's on turn 6, considering you just spent 6 mana to make a 5/5. Seems like a pretty bad card.
Calling it now, this is a nerf candidate. Several classes can abuse it in both standard and wild, and just shut down their opponents deck, because they'll draw nothing but birds. Hunter (Dire Frenzy, Beast copys and various DR triggers), Priest (so many DR shenanigans), and Rogue (Shadows of Death and DR triggers) can all fill the opponents deck quickly.
It might not be good, but it will cause unhappy players, which will lead to an eventually nerf.
I think this card will see play in at least some of the Galakrond Rogue decks that will see the light of day this expansion, but I’m actually not so sure whether it is good on its own or not.
Dragon Mage it's going to be pretty powerful! A very good card with lots of crazy combos possible. A Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron on turn 6 or use it with Conjurer's Calling to get two more minions.
A deceptively powerful card, Soggoth the Slitherer did see fringe play and this card is simply better.
I feel this card will work best in Paladin. Dragon Speaker and Dragonrider Talritha will really love to hit this guy, and if either of them do it will be a absolute pain for so many decks to deal with.
Looks like an arena pack filler, but I genuinely see this card being played.

Its not awful, but you certainly won't put this guy in your deck. It's only good from random effects. Cards like this might appear good on paper, but their effects are simply too 'fair' to actually see competitive play.
Shaman Legendary Card Reveal - Nithogg
Not very exciting, tbh...
I mean, it's a Battlecry, so maybe Quest-Shamans will try this?

New Mage Minion - Dragoncaster
This will certainly be part of the meta at least for some time in a Big dragon mage or a dragon highlander mage deck

New Neutral Minion - Bad Luck Albatross
Wow, an anti-highlander card. Rogue can surely abuse the deathrattle and fill the opponent's deck with 1/1s

Pretty good, but slower tempo play.

Arcane Breath
dragon mage it's gonna be tier 1, if not tier 2, maybe tier 3 but will happen.
Arcane Breath
A support card for Dragon Mage. Maybe you play it in Cyclone Mage because it's a cheap spell.
New Mage Minion - Dragoncaster
turn 6: 4/4 body and Pyroblast in your face. Great card for dragon mage
New Priest Spell - Breath of the Infinite
A very good removal card! Volcanic potion was strong previously and this one is even stronger. Priest got a decent early removal against aggro and I'm sure this card will see a lot of play.
Dragoncaster
you wanna invoke 2 randon 6 cost minion for 6 mana? i have the rigth guy for you.
or you wanna open the puzzle box of yogg saron for 6 mana? be my guest.
This card is pretty strong and gonna find his way on any mage deck easily.
Shaman Legendary Card Reveal - Nithogg
No chance they have Deathrattle. Should be "At the start of your turn, hatch" (or similar)

Praise Galakrond!

Are the eggs have deathrattle or the enemy can clear them both and leave u with 6 mana 5/5?
New Neutral Minion - Bad Luck Albatross
not good enough to counter to Highlander decks.

Really solid in arena, potentially a new North Sea Kraken.
