This... looks to be pretty good. On average, it can give you a very good pile of stats when played, which is always welcome. There are definitely some weaker ones, but the medium is good enough to probably warrant running this card. But it feels a little win-more for me, because very few Dragons have Taunt. If you are behind, this Alex may help, but it's not an instant win if you opponent has been holding you on a leash.
Also very good with Shudderwock for card generation and additional bodies, tho it can clump your hand and board space pretty fast with Alex. But I'll definitely like it, especially with Hagatha the Witch.
this card looks really good. there certainly are better comparisons but its an assassinate for 1 more mana with a 4/4 body attached and if this doesn't sound good enough it also removes another copy of the card from the opponents deck or hand. looks insane to me in basically any deck
looks like a good card that can punish slow starts from aggro as well as quest druids and other slower decks. enemies will have to hit face just not to proc it so it causes potentially inferior play. probably it will find value sometime in the game anyways and a 2 mana 3/6 taunt is quite a good card even when it is delayed.
Good support for quest and Mana Cyclone shenanigans. Unlike Dragon Soul, which was a weapon that did nothing on its own and could be removed very easily before you could make good use of it, this is a minion with a solid body for contesting early boards and has an elemental tag attached to it which is good with Elemental Evocation. It slots in those decks perfectly. Will it be successful? Maybe, but it seems too fair for an expansion with such a power level. It may end up being overlooked just because everything else is crazy stronger.
This is insane value and tempo! I’m just disappointed that they didn’t make it so that EVIL classes couldn’t/wouldn’t play her. Zephrys was already good enough for them.
Speaking of Wild, sadly, the large pool make every effect that generate minions far worst than on Standard. I'm a bit sad that this was an Highlander support card, since I love that kind of decks.
this does not look too strong to me tbh. the statline is alright but the effect sounds better than it will be in actual gameplay. there are not too many cheap spells to make this worthwile. maybe it could be used in cyclone mage with cheap spells in combination with antonidas but tempo mage is not even good with flamewaker which is an insane card compared to this. occasionally the 5/5 might happen and win a game, yes
Crazy powerful. It's like Dragon Roar, but neutral, with an 8/8 body and the dragons are free. It costs much more and has a highlander requirement but that's not a big deal considering how powerful this can be. There's always the possibility of getting bad/weak cards for the late game but on average the results should mostly be great. Instacraft!
New Neutral Minion - Chromatic Egg
I doubt this will see play, a lot of Dragon are good but there are some stinkers as well. Randomness tend to be avoided in Deckbuilding.
New Neutral Minion - Kronx Dragonhoof
Derp, well, it would have been fun if it were a verb.

Forget card reveal, Allies hot.

Cyclone Mage gets another win condition. Nice.

Thank god I love legendaries that help me run cheap spells.
and even better because of the synergy with my favorite card from the Year of the Raven - Banana Buffoon
Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
I thought it was just 2 random cards but since it is 2 dragons the powerlevel is pretty good.
If u land that 7-7 taunt that can't be targeted RNG really is on your side.
But many other dragons do great work aswell the new Ysera for druid.
Malygos maybe just hold it a turn and burn the opponent away.
But its RNG could also get the worst of the worst.

This thing has a lot of synergy in the new expansion. Rogue loves drawing cards or just milling with Myra's
Random free packs?
Wasn't that 300 gold (in case you're talking about the Brawliseum)
Random free packs?
Also packs for the tavern brawl being borked a few weeks ago.

It kinda looks like Rafaam is riding Onyxia on the trailer video..

Mana cyclone + sorcerers apprentice was already really good.
With the amount of spell generating mage can do it shouldn't be to hard to get a good turn with this card.
Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
More Highlander support: yes.
More random: nope.

Yes: in the example video, Thrall pulled Azure Explorer and Ysera, Unleashed, neither of which are normally available to Shamans.
Warrior Card Reveal - Scion of Ruin
I bet this looks great as a gold card. Amazing art.
Deathwing, Mad Aspect
more removal for warrior? cant see this not being played AT ALL, best scenario you kill a couple of waeklings and have an 8 mana monster
