In Wild at least, I think I would rather play Netherspite Historian. You can play her on turn two, and don't need a Dragon already out. Dragon Breeder, to get the maximum value, would require you to sit on him until after a mega-Dragon has already hit the table, which is a pain.
Still, it's a good card. Just...not as good as the Historian, in my opinion.
Looks like Handlock could potentially make a return, especially if we see more supporting cards like Abyssal Summoner. Of course, it will depend on how strong the mechanic is as well. After all, sometimes overpriced cards still don't justify the effect.
Nerf to evolve mechanics in wild. Other than that, I'm initially not as excited about this as I'd like to be, at least until we see what the pool of dragons looks like after this set is released.
Dont really like this one. No use for the spell power in a highlander deck, tempo mage hasnt been good in a while. The other dragon explorers seem better
Love highlander support but seeing the rest of expansion, the effect just seems dull to me. Random dragons could be really anything with the updated dragon roster, so I expect it to be just okay most of the times when played.
Jokes aside, the battlecry is fine, you clear either your whole opponents board or a big chunk of it, but if they have nothing on board, its just a sad battlecry with no one to hear it. And if theres no one around to hear when galakrond battlecries, did the battlecry really happen?
Ok, enough with the bad jokes
I am a little excite for the HP of this one, I love some of those random stuffs, but is there enough decent priest minions to justify it?
Even with Talanji I still look at it with doubts. Even then, its a decent Galakrond, I would put it in 3rd place amongst the galakronds
Wont see play in wild, I think
The pool is too large and a lot of bad minions in it
I expect existing Highlander decks will run this - nice big minion and some hand refill that may or may not be garbage. Given that Paladin both 1) seems like the current front-runner for "best dragon deck", and 2) also already has a viable Highlander deck, I would expect Highlander Dragon Paladin to run alongside "regular" Dragon Paladin and we'll see if a clear winner emerges.
Dragons tend to be average to large, so even with only okay rolls on the random stuff, you're easily getting 15 mana's worth of stats on 9 mana. And getting two means you'll always be able to trigger at least one Dragon battlecry if your random Dragons feature them.
This needs to be hand buffed for real value, but that makes it a late game play, which doesn't synergize with an aggro deck. Will be interesting to see if this works or not.

Highlander!!!

I dig it! Solid stats and a potentially great effect. So, we're just waiting on a new Onyxia for Hunter, I assume?
New Neutral Minion - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
That's great. The more win cons for the highlander decks, the better. Especially for something like Highlander mage, who wasn't doing much anymore.
New Neutral Minion - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Im glad we get more highlander support. This card is nuts. Can give herself for free :-)

Awesome card... tho mage is lacking a finisher strategy is always good to see this in the card pool

Sindragosa was mage before. Also sindragosa isn’t a dragon aspect I’m pretty sure so she won’t be brought bac
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
alliestrasza didnt do that she got that clip from blizzard and the clips almost always do the worst plays

Meme dream would be that you play Arch-Villain Rafaam and you get a number of Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, or even when finished Supreme Archaeology and tap into it for 0 mana
New Neutral Minion - Dragon Breeder
Combo this with Dragonqueen Alexstrasza for more infinite value XD
Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
VERY good card will be played in dragon theme decks regardless of highlander or not as late game value
New Neutral Minion - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Perfect for highlander decks. A bit RNG on the random dragon..but imagine getting a random of the same card..infinite value?
