It is hard to evaluate when we don't yet know the full pool of dragons it can offer, but while there are a few really good picks such as Deathwing, Ysera and Kalecgos, you also run the risk of being offered a choice between Faerie Dragon, Brightwing and Twilight Drake. Overall, I think a card this expensive and slow has to be more reliable to be worth it.
Regardless of how good or bad this card is, I love the “secretly discover a deathrattle” mechanic. I think it’s only been seen as a Druid mechanic on a choose one card that didn’t see much play. But I think it’s pretty cool and should be used more
Love the flavour and looks like it might be best in rogue
would be interesting to see the odds of getting a good dragon via the discover mechanic. Might give it a go. “Ok” stats would have to be 8/8 to be equivalent to the same mana cost Pally Egg.
wont be able to make a judgement on how good it could be until we see all dragons in this set
Small note, the wording is kinda weird, the discover effect is not worded consistently with Fatespinners choose one effect. A more clear way of phrasing this would be "Battlecry: Discover a dragon (secretly), Deathrattle: summon it". Maybe this also isn't correct because then it would imply that the dragon you discovered will go into your hand. my point is, this could be worded a lot cleaner.
About the actual card itself, this is bad. The entire point of eggs is that you can get large bodies out early, or in the case with mechano-egg, you buff it and then just have a sticky minion. but mechano egg isn't a very good card either. At five mana, you want to be doing a lot more then just setting up to summon a (semi)-random dragon on a later turn. This is too slow, and there is very little pay-off.
Flik Skyshiv - 5 - Remove a minion and develop your board. Great card. It's unlikely you'll worry too much about losing your own copy(s) because the threat on the board is always the more pressing issue.
Valdris Felgorge - 5 - Incredible value. Massive powercreep on Sprint that brings a fun new element to constructed. Cool card.
Veranus - 5 - Insanely powerful in a class that tends to have decent swarm capability to take down the now-1-health minions.
Necrium Apothecary - 4 - Draft dependent so it can't get a 5. Decent stats for a card that draws and gains an ability.
Sanctuary - 2 - It looks lousy but the reward is really high value for the cost and there's no stopping a quest. It'll have to be alongside some bad cards to draft it but there are ways to protect your face and get the value.
Crazed Netherwing - 5 - The dev team is really piling on the outrageously high value dragons in this set. Thank Yogg the Abyssal Enforcer rotates out!
Nether Breath - 4 - Ah, hot dragon breath to the face. What could be better? Oh, right, lifestealing from said face. We know the dragon synergy is going to be there (at least for this rotation) so this has a good chance of being an 8 point flip for 2 mana.
Zul'Drak Ritualist - 4 - Sleeper alert! Unless DoD brings a 1 mana poisonous minion, this card is looking pretty strong. Very cheap for the stats and the list of 1 drops isn't a group that will take out a 9 health minion. Great for those lame AF big priests in wild, too.
Abyssal Summoner - 3 - It'll have its moments, no doubt. But arena is not a place where you can lifetap with impunity. Too much time drawing while not developing a board is a fast track to an early arena exit.
Amber Watcher - 5 - This feels like Anyfin/Everyfin... Shaman will get some total shitbird dragon. Heavy sigh. I long for a time where Shaman gets the good stuff and doesn't suck in arena. At least I'm not bitter.
Camouflaged Dirigible - 3 - Has the making of a seriously strong card... in constructed. Guess how many mechs are currently in the draft pool for the next rotation. I'll take the under. :D
Hot Air Balloon - 3 - There are worse 1 drop minions. They get worse scores than a 3.
'' No New HS Discount '' I have read just enough. I don't mean no offense to anyone that enjoys their action figurines from the game they play and their assorted towels and mugs, but who buys those derivative Blizzard merch?
Interesting concept. It can find it's place in a lot of decks, the obvious choice being Deathrattle Rogue. But there are better choices. Maybe for Warlock?
It might be fun to toy around with in a Deathrattle Hunter/Rogue, and it might even occasionally catch the opponent off-guard, but I don't anticipate it doing much better than Mechano-Egg, where Mech synergy was quite prevalent.
It could work with classes with Deathrattle synergy like Rogue and Hunter. Probably could also work with Pally with Shrink Ray, Call To Adventure, Aldor Peacekeeper, maybe even Glowstone Technician
Drawing 4 cards, that's OP! Plus I like how this card pushes the limits within the game. Increasing your HAND SIZE PERMANENTLY TO 12!!! Geeeeesh, a Warlock can only can so erected ^^
And OMG, the flavor text killed me : "I don't mean to pry, but you don't by chance happen to have six fingers on both of your hands?"
Abyssal Summoner

Flik Skyshiv
all for 6 mana

I lolled hard at this, that card was hilarious

New Neutral Minion - Chromatic Egg
The price is steep, but the ability to cheat out a big dragon like Ysera could make this a viable card in a Deathrattle deck.

At best it's gonna make it in some Meme-Egg-Deck.
And even then I doubt it'll be good.

Appears in Battlegrounds as a hero character (Kel is not a playable character in Battlegrounds, but sometimes shows up as a fight anyway).

can you hear those mystical voices crying out below the moonlight saying in a rather sheepish tone Hand buff
Chromatic Egg
This card's NEAT and I like the flavor but it just seems so SLOW
I guess you could use it in a sacrifice warlock deck or something?

Is it just me or this looks like a submission on the Community Creation thread that did not made the cut?

I guess most dragons are really high in value and cost but most of them also have strong battlecries you wanna utilize, too
