Hope fishing this with call to adventure does not make too polarized of a meta. I don´t think its that great of a card, but has potential to huge highrolling.
This card in a vacuum is very strong, healing a good amount and put a reasonable body on the field is good, it can even help with other card that have dragon synergy.
its a grear addition to some kind of decks, because it alone improves the aggro matchups.
As i already said in regard of the warlock's cards revealed earlier, one of the problems of these kind of decks is to apply pressure to midrange, control and combo decks. If there won't be many cards good versus those types of decks then this card will be included only in anti-aggro decks.
Hunter hasn´t received much dragon support historically, but this year it seems different. This is a solid 3 mana car for a midrange deck, which could exist in standard. For wild, its just too fair of a card to see play.
Duskbreaker was a ani-aggro card, it is true that one mana / one turn can make a difference, but this is still a very strong card in my opinion. Also, another slap in the face to our poor Arcanosaur, what were they even thinking with that card smh
Arcanosaur was fine IMO. Don't forget that Frost Lich Jaina was in standard at the time. Honestly the real problem for control elemental mage was Bloodreaver Gul'dan, which was incredibly difficult to defeat with Wellies. Otherwise Mage would've been the lategame deck of choice.
I think all the dragons that discover dragons will see some amount of play. This is on the weaker side of that, but its still a 2/3 dragon with spell damage.
Blizzard follows the policy of rare changes to make the game accessible to players that don’t Check the latest HS News every day and know all meta Decks by hearth.
Should they remove evolve from the meta? Probably. (Some people think, infinite quest druid would become unstoppable then)
Do they prefere to keep their game boring so that people earn less gold and buy more packs? Never ever! This makes no sense by any means.
Pre expansion meta is - and has allways been - less exciting. But this time we got back Some cool cards from the past and Battlegrounds to pass the time. I would think that‘s great...?
Also from all the unbalanced metas we had, this one is quit fair tbh. Yes there are lots of shamans but the decks are different. And for my part, i have still 4-5 decks from other classes that are good enough to climb above rank 5. Just think back to Odd Paladin, pirate warrior or jade druid times. THOSE were opressive decks..
Gimmicky epic which I don´t see being used. There may be some things you can do in wild with inspire, but I think the heropower deck in wild will be evenhunter, so there´s no room for our gnome friends...
Had a very amusing & cathartic "when BMing goes wrong" game:
Me playing Dark Pharaoh Tekahn Lackey Warlock; them playing netdecked Evolve Quest Shaman. Were we in Casual? Of course we were - why would the deck that's SSS Tier & 30% of the meta stay on the Ladder? But I digress.
The back and forth went on for most of the game, with my opponent both randomly roping for no apparent reason while also emoting after virtually every sizable play (I don't really Squelch because I find it amusing). By about turn 9 I only had 3 HP left - they had about 10. Despite having lethal on the board, they chose to fully trade wiping out my board, BM emote, and not finish me off. The next turn I emptied my hand and threw some face dmg at them but still they had lethal and 2 HP. They once again cleared the board, BM emoted, and didn't finish me off for a second turn in a row. The final turn, I topdeck Sinister Deal so I'm hoping for a Kobold Lackey but alas it wasn't offered. So I choose Ethereal Lackey instead looking for some kind of face dmg spell. The only one offered? Hellfire.
So I happily took the draw denying them the win. See you in hell(fire) you netdecking, BMing degenerate.
Oh and as a sign from RNGesus that this person was a blight upon humanity: Part of the reason I was able to stick it out to that end was (which I have now seen with my very own eyes) Mutate on a turn 5 Mogu Fleshshaper gave them Hir'eek, the Bat. Lovely.
I am looking forward to all the combos in wild with the other priest mana reduction dragon. This is a necessary evil in the control Galakrond priest, even if its not the most efficient removal ever.

Molten Breath
Very strong for control warrior. Its a discount on the best version of unidentified shield.
Dragon's Hoard
Quest rogue just got a HUGE buff with this card. Its cheap, it lets you discover and any legendary you choose can be replayed with Tess.
Candle Breath
The new lackey will play a huge part in granting you dragons in hand in rogue.
3 mana draw 3 is crazy!
Sand Breath
This might allow some 2-for-1 or even 3-for-1 in a midrange battle. Lets see if we have a midrange meta.

Corrosive Breath
My main concern over this card is how well dragon and face hunters will go along. For wild, I think it won´t take quickshot's spot.
Amber Watcher
yeah, I wouldn't put it in my dick either.
Waxadred
If rogue can survive enough, this will be a nice value tool. The total impact will depend on how silence-prone is the meta.
Deathwing, Mad Aspect
First, the art: its cool and all with fire, but the dragonest dragon to ever dragon in Azeroth now looks like a horse?
For the card, I think is pretty ok, will be a board clear for control warrior.
Malygos, Aspect of Magic
Control mage always sneaks into the meta and this will be part of it. I think we will see a lot of Malygoses "created by" other dragons as well.

Paladin Card Reveal - Amber Watcher
Fantastic card - will see if dragon paladin is a thing.
Azure Explorer
I think all the dragons that discover dragons will see some amount of play. This is on the weaker side of that, but its still a 2/3 dragon with spell damage.

Fate Weaver
on turn four i believe it's rare when you get to invoke twice, so i don't think it's gonna be so bunkers like it seens.
Time Rip
I am looking forward to all the combos in wild with the other priest mana reduction dragon. This is a necessary evil in the control Galakrond priest, even if its not the most efficient removal ever.
Time Rip
it's an assasinate with a plus, priests have better removals, but in the galakrond decks will fit for the invoke tag
Toxic Reinforcements
face hunter here we go!!!!
Fate Weaver
We will see dragon combo priests in wild for sure. Up to 3 ticks in 7 cards with two of this guys and emperor!
Crazed Netherwing
you're right. the cards they released today hopefully mean the legendary class card will be a doooooozy
Azure Explorer
i fell like blizzard really have some fear about spell damage tags, that card it's not bad, but it's not good so it will never see play.
