I really like this card. Getting 3 large bodies for 9 mana is not bad, and there are plenty of highlander decks that could benefit from being able to generate an extra board from 1 card.
Wow I didn't expect a highlander support. That is a great card. And if you manage to get a good dragon it can be copied with Dragon Breeder or even Sathrovarr for a great value burst.
Could be quite a lot of variance from this card, but the average roll is likely going to be very powerful. Once the new set launches highlander decks also have the highest number of cards available, so the restriction is less of an issue.
I think all highlander decks will play it just for that big late game push, she should help quite a lot.
The card in a vacuum is very strong, 2 mana wild growht + card draw is insane.
to do that you have to have a dragon in hand. Now, people are claiming that in a dedicated dragon deck the condition is always met (it's not even true, but let's say that it is) so the card is broken.
In reality this is not, because being a dedicated dragon deck is already the handicap in itself! that much in fact, that they created a card with this effect without probems.
For now i don't see this dragon druid working at all. If the deck will work this card will be the principal reason for sure.

Well look...The Waxadred says "resummon". Take a look at the candle "Summon Waxadred". If it was ressurect it wont summon him again. But you are building strong board by shuffling candles then drawing them.
If you only get one 5/5, then you still got a 5/5 and a 2/5 for 3 mana. That is a pretty good deal. Keep in mind that you can only generate one 5/5 each turn, and this will only happen on at least turn 6, and you will probably have to end up getting less than ideal value for your spells.
Is that true? That's NOT how Dragon Soul worked (see the Disguised Toast vid below - he plays 6 spells on turn 5 and gets 2 dragons) so it would be weird for this to play differently...
While it feels like a good arena card at most, it also feels like hand buff archetypes would enjoy it, since you could theoretically lock down your opponent with it
But then again, I might be giving it too much credit. I guess I will keep my decision of "good arena card and decent discover"
Looks good to me, though I haven't been playing very much lately. It has solid stats so when you play it as a late game board populating engine, it's got a few 5/5s alongside it to deal with. Elemental synergy and a pretty good late game wincon in a cyclone style deck.
most of the time you wont play this on curve, and if you are casting 3 spells, then you will need at least 3 mana (unless you happen to have a [Hearthstone Card (sorcerers apprentice) Not Found] on the field). So most of the time this will only come out on at least turn 6. At that point in the game a 2/5 probably won't survive more than a turn, especially when your opponent has so much incentive to kill it.
If you only get one 5/5, then you still got a 5/5 and a 2/5 for 3 mana. That is a pretty good deal. Keep in mind that you can only generate one 5/5 each turn (nevermind, I was mistaken), and this will only happen on at least turn 6, and you will probably have to end up getting less than ideal value for your spells.
Overall, this is a 3 mana 7/10 that requires a lot of cards and setup. It isn't bad, or game breaking, it is interesting, and I am curious to see if we will end up getting a good miracle mage that this can fit in. We already have mana cyclone mage, but that isn't the best deck right now.
This card has potential, but there ha to be just the right deck for it.
I like this card better than the 4/5 taunt invoke minion, but rated both of them 2/5 stars.
The card will see play just because you need invoke to make Galakrond stronger, at least this card remove something small and comes one turn earlier than the 4/5.
I'd actually vote the 4/5 1 star and this 2 stars now that i reflected a bit about it, oh well.

thanks for improving wild blizzard, again... Good job lol
Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Wow, that is some hell of tempo play for 9 mana.
Very strong if you have no duplicates at turn 9.
Even smaller minions is fine too for it's cost.
Will definitely be a Dragonic Play.
Chenvaala
oh yeah spell mage sorceres aprentice turn 2 this turn 3 with low cost spells gonna be fun as hell to play, and a hell to play against.
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
What the hell. This is crazy. Took the spot as my favorite card of the expansion
Legendary Card Reveal - Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Instant craft for my wild highlanders
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
Expensive but a very nice tempo swing.

Knowing my luck, I'm getting two Faerie Dragons guaranteed.
New Mage Minion - Chenvaala
Looks good... And sadly, it's just another tool for cyclone mage. Three expansions in a row there is support for one archetype...

Galakrond, the Nightmare
A powerful galakrond, but makes you wonder where he can fit to make full use of his battlecry
You surely wont play this on decks with low cost cards (i.e miracle), but I am an inexperienced miracle player, so I cant say much there
I personally might put it in some sort of steal rogue, just for the heck of it!
Does galakrond even show up in arena though?

New Druid Minion - Ysera, Unleashed
I don't think that a 9 mana card that does nothing the turn it comes in play is very good at all.
I think it still can be a good dragon to discover when playing against a decks that is not applying any pressure.

should not be underestimated, dont forget it also generates a card and empowers your best card. Mass hysteria cost but comes with a later rewqard.
