Great flavor, beautiful art, and amazing value card. Does not feel mandatory for a dragon deck, more like good to have. That's why I'd love to open it, so I don't have to think about crafting a class specific. :)
Card is pretty high up there in terms of powerlevel. But I say it's fine.
This card however, reminds me a nostalgic card Guardian of Kings. I always bring tons of healing cards back in the old days of hearthstone just to beat up mages, mages was everywhere.
Paladin definitely needs an upgrade card like this, but just having +1/+3 healbot with dragon tag doesn't seem to be threatening since the powercreep has already taken over hearthstone by the new expansion (Still, I definitely do not support powercreeps).
Does the dragon paladin ever exists? Don't think it's even good, they all have now is just a handbuff strategy. But the +3/+3 handbuffer might not be a joke anymore, because paladin is obviously going to get more dragon cards.
EDIT: The +3/+3 Handbuffer I was talking about was the Dragon Speaker. That card is actually much better than the new legendary one... feels so wrong.
Very hard to predict where this would be good and how good exactly. I guess it will be a crucial card for some deck, the effect is very unique and dramatic and that usually gets exploited hard. Important thing to note is that this is at least a late game Sea Giant, which meanwhile could serve as Dragon activator. Not bad.
Reminds me of Gral, the Shark. Great value, although Combo part does it make it tricky to squeeze its full tempo potential. With all deathrattle synergy available and Waxadred, this is likely to be featured in meta decks.
A must-craft for the majority of players. Galakrond decks will likely succeed, this will add necessary consistency which C'thun decks lacked, and has no downside. I sense hard times for classes that don't have access to Galakrond.
I already think it's a top tier card, just the only downside is it has bigger health and needs to meet combo requirement, making it slower.
But the upside from being tutor card and has already a quick access to big deathrattle effects just already outweighs it. No rogue players should care about the big health since they already have so many tools to trigger its deathrattle, and can also trade with amount of small minions in the long way.
If this card is gonna be broken, then more cards like these are going to be too as well. Where are my shaman cards anyways? Bet the class set is gonna be as powerful as the new quest shaman.
I like this one - beautiful artwork and good removal effect, on aggressive body. Tackles one of Hunter's weaknesses, which is big minions. Would be happy to open this, highlander will find a place for it.
Too bad nzoth is leaving when this comes around. Besides that it's a draw and deathrattle effect and with the extra health can be more useful with Necrium Blade.

Crazed Netherwing
Two turns earlier Abyssal Enforcer? Sign me up on this one...
Although probably unnecessary for zoolock, which could become dominant Warlock deck with Galakrond.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
Reminds me of Gral, the Shark. Great value, although Combo part does it make it tricky to squeeze its full tempo potential. With all deathrattle synergy available and Waxadred, this is likely to be featured in meta decks.
New Hunter Minion - Veranus
This is just insane with cards like Unleash the Hounds, Springpaw and Explosive trap. I wish Dreadscale was still in standard.
New Paladin Minion - Amber Watcher
Good control card overall, dragon pala or not, will surely see play. In arena it's bonkers, crazy strong.
New Neutral Minion - Hot Air Balloon
Its like a baby Gruul that could snowball. I like it.
New Neutral Minion - Kronx Dragonhoof
A must-craft for the majority of players. Galakrond decks will likely succeed, this will add necessary consistency which C'thun decks lacked, and has no downside. I sense hard times for classes that don't have access to Galakrond.
New Neutral Minion - Camouflaged Dirigible
The cost makes this effect not appealing, but stealth is still a pretty scary mechanic sometimes.

New Neutral Minion - Kronx Dragonhoof
So this is the Twin Emperor 2.0 for Galakrond, but even more insane because of the tempo swing AND can tutor otherwise.
Kronx Dragonhoof
Staple in Galakron Decks, really strong.
Camouflaged Dirigible
It has good stats but I don't see it in any kind of current decks, and the new card don't seem to make mechs more powerful.
Hot Air Balloon
I wonder if this could find a place in Inner fire priest decks.
New Rogue Minion - Necrium Apothecary
A nice little tutor with an upside, seems fun with Waxadred.
Veranus
Unleash may be the best card to play with this, you could also use a pyromancer but I think that's not worth it.
New Paladin Minion - Amber Watcher
Trump's body is not ready for this kind of Value......and powercreep.
Amber Watcher
Incredible fit in thet palladin dragon deck.
New Hunter Minion - Veranus
I like this one - beautiful artwork and good removal effect, on aggressive body. Tackles one of Hunter's weaknesses, which is big minions. Would be happy to open this, highlander will find a place for it.
