It seems a generally good card, that is just overall effective enough to see play at least in Highlander mage. Of course it’s good in a dragon mage and of course it’s bad in tempo mage.
Can mess up opponent's draw and highlander value but I feel it's not that good of a card since it does nothing on it's own and you give your opponent two extra cards ahead of fatigue.
I’m sorry but this card is not very kosher. You only have a 1/3 chance of getting the one you want, so this card is probably too inconsistent to be good.
Those are wrong as well. A hint: the last line doesn’t refer to any specific mechanic ingame, but rather to the minion’s flavor. The second to last line refers to Taunt
Nice tech card. I think it is even better than the weazel, because it's a straight up counter to the highlander decks and if you manage to activate it's deathrattle multiple times like priest and rogue can do = so many useless cards in your opponent's deck. I like it.
Decent tech card against highlander decks, OTK paladin, and quest druid.
But its going to be quite a hard call to see two of this being in pro decks. Maybe it will find a way into face beast hunter, 4 attack is still quite okay. Other than that, its a card that quite mediocre.
The first thing people will notice with Cumulo-Maximus is its synergy with quest, but i also see this as a nice tool for Control Shaman as well. The Warlock dragon seems strong, but slow. That means they are pushing Dragon Warlock in a slow Control direction. Fine by me.
Such a strong arena card. I can't believe it's average rating is at 3 stars. It's a well stated 3 drop (already three stars right there) with the potential to win you the top deck war late game.
Seems to me like a bad card for constructed. At turn 8+ you usually have already lost a lot of hp at the point were you can't afford to loose anymore. Similar to the Warlock quest where it enables you to draw cards too late in the game this gives you value and tempo at the cost of hp when you don't have enough to loose.
Deny 2 draws for any deck is painful and as stated before it ruins "if you have no duplicates" clause as well for a decent body for 3 mana and a sometimes relevant beast tag.
This card is quite good tbh, you can play it as a tech vs highlander or just as a good aggressive minion in a deck that wants an aggressive stated 3 drop with an upside or maybe the beast hunter deck.
Since I dismissed the 3/4 raven as bad and while saying this is good: this card is stand alone good while the raven asks you to go though hoops for little reward (+3 attack per duplicated raven and works ONLY for other ravens)
Also it should be noted that most 2 drops being played as far as I know are 2/2s or 2/3s rather than 3/2s so the stat line is OK for a 3 drop.
You can also go overboard on this and try to trigger the deathrattle enough times or duplicate the card (incoming Bad luck rogue?) to make your opponent draw NOTHING but 1/1 for 1 beasts if your opponent can't play actual cards.. they lose..
It's much better than Weasel Tunneler since it can't backfire and ruins the deck faster.
Will give another claim to this card's effect being relevant.. Impbalming turns out to not be a playable card although it looks good turns out thrashing your deck is actually relevant while playing control as well as also in warlock.. also this is REALLY good vs combo decks that want an empty deck (currently druid and paladin) since it delays them by 2 draws.
I don't know if it is a better weasel because the little rascal only costed 1 mana. But it's definitely an addition to the old weasel priest deck and for the memes i give it 5/5. It's actually not bad for standard. 3 mana 4/3 are prime aggro stats, not good for control decks thoough.

I mean considering this is a rare rather than a legendary, apparently holding a dragon is more difficult

Did someone order a bomb?
Nozdormu the Timeless
Good card definitely. I think we will hate highlander paladin and this card when expansion launches

Learn Draconic
Cool card but the fact that it doesnt start on your hand troubles me and it May not be that much of a tempo spike

Chenvaala
Priest had Dragon Soul as a 3 mana weapon with the same effect and that card saw no play whatsoever.
I’m pretty sure this card will go through similar fate… Yes, mage can cast tons of spells as of now but ehhh I just don’t see it.
2/5. Has potential but unlikely.

Nice! Tech against highlander decks is highly appreciated, but i'd rather just play Bomb Warrior if i want to counter those decks more efficiently.
New Shaman Minion - Cumulo-Maximus
Lava burst with a body that should not be overestimated. Quest shaman will be probably strong for another few months.
New Warlock Minion - Zzeraku the Warped
I already can't wait to try some sort of control-dragon warlock. This seems like really OP card that requires immediate attention from the opponent.
I guess the meta will be hyper aggro vs super value control vs broken combo - nothing in the middle.
Card Reveals - Cumulo-Maximus & Zzeraku the Warped
I'm not entirely sure if it's worth deactivating genn for, seeing as it's a 5 mana card
