Really strong card. The problem i see with it is that it's pretty slow. But being able to Timewarden into lets say.. Raid Boss Onyxia seems like a really good play. This sets up board by keeping the whelps alive, and lets be honest as long as Raid Boss Onyxia is on board the whelps already have taunt. And turn 4 Timewarden into turn 5 Onyxian Warder also seems decent in terms of tempo.
The only ACTUAL glaring problem i see for this card is that next year most good dragons are going to rotate and out of the ones left Onyxia the Broodmother looks like one of the best cards to play with it, unless dragon paladin gets more support. (Which they probably won't get. Look at Mech Mage, Murlock, Mech Paladin, etc.)
Meh, just a tempo card i guess? 4 mana 4/4 rush is kinda meh, it's literally a class-version of Silvermoon Armorer, that gets half the stats in exchange for being a dragon. Sure Silvermoon Armorer has manathirst and might just be better when topdecked + no dragons in hand, but your only using Daring Drake in dragon paladin decks so that doesn't really count for much. However both get added in the same expansion, which is kinda funny.
Honestly this card looks quite boring, which is something i REALLY don't like to say.
Based on the video, yes: it's essentially Dormant for 2 turns, only they don't take up space on the board (which can cause issues in said future, again like in the video).
The manathirst requirement sees a bit too late to matter in most cases, i guess its mostly there so you dont feel bad about topdecking this card late into the game. However Discovering a dragon has always been a really solid thing. (Remember Draconic Lackey?) And the Dragon pool isn't that big right now. (23 total dragons so far in standard, if you only take neutrals + paladin dragons.) So i guess this might see play, as long as the dragons are good enough.
The only bad thing i can say about this card is mostly that a lot of good dragons are rotating next year, so who knows if its good enough without Raid Boss Onyxia and Kazakusan in the pool.
Jaraxustein is almost as cool as Mecha Jaraxxus and I heard that his animation is awesome too. I'm definetely tempted to get it, but I have yet to see a video showcase of that skin. Hopefully someone uploads one soon.
Edit: Found one. Sadly it isn't as cool as I hoped, so I'm probably gonna pass on that one.
Back in Season 1 of our Weekly Card Design Competitions, I came in first place with this:
Granted this was back in April 2020, but Enchanter just took Lothraxion out back and shot him lol. Half the cost, Neutral, and you can run two of them? Craziness :P
WOW, thats a insane legendary! So basically this removes a board for 2 turns, afterwards it resummons them all kinda like with Secret Passage re-adding cards back into your hand. (Probably including buffs and stuff) The best thing about this card is that it temporarely counters deathrattles, as they do not trigger with similar effects. (*ahem Life Sentence and The Amazing Reno) And on top of that, the minions return during the turn of whoever played Anachronos which is insane! (Your turn if you played Anachronos, which means more time to stall for removal)
I do wonder how the re-summoning works though if there are too many minions on board. There are 2 ways that i can think of this working: something similar to Secret Passage + too many card in hand, and mass-bouncing effects like Vanish.
Imagine if your opponent play a minion within the 2 turns, and they dont have enough board space for all their re-summoned minions. If it works like Secret Passage the right most minion(s) (pre-Anachronos) should be destroyed, while if it works similarly like Vanish, the last played/summoned minion(s) should be destroyed. (No matter where they were on the board)
In the Wronchi video i couldnt really tell which of the 2 was in effect, because you can't really tell where the minions were positioned. It did look like Vanish kinda, but without knowing the exact board positions i dunno. No matter which was in effect, it still is a extremely powerful effect. This question was just in order to prepare myself to play around it.
"If" Dragon Paladin is to be meta viable, this will be a useful tool to make sure you have a dragon in hand to trigger your battlecry effects and synergy-buffs, but the statement starts with a big "If" ..!
There isn't much inspiration here, that's for sure; a simple (4) mana 4/4 with a chance at making it a 5/5 ... Doesn't feel like enough to carry Dragon Pally ... sad
This seems okay on paper, until you realize its pretty much the waste of your turn 4, just to set up and have a slightly better turn 5 ... Dragon Paladin always gets me excited, but it rarely pays off - I want to believe
Seems a bit slow. You're rarely going to play it the same turn you summon the dragons, so you're mostly just playing low tempo for a slightly better board on the next turn. Good luck trying to establish a board while you're being drowned in imps
This just feels uninspired. We're not really in a time where just throwing out a bunch of slightly above curve stats is enough to win, but I guess it qualifies as tempo.

Dormant Minions occupy space on the field. This one does not.

Oh crap. Anachronos looks like it's gonna be an autoinclude in every control Paladin list - remove whole board for 2 turns with a 8/8 body is crazy!
