This card won't be "good" but it will be fun, and is an auto-add to Quest/Burgle Rogue decks. Can't wait for the RNG highlight reel where this pulls out something perfect/totally unexpected.
Calling it right now. Every one will try a big paladin deck only to realize two things: your opponent using the 10 mana first is horrible, and aggro as been killing turn 4 giants for a way long time with just 4-5 mana, imagine what they can do with 10.
Not gonna be bad, but will also not be that good as it seems.
I found the original one pretty neat, let’s see how this goes...
To quote the legendary Riosix:
It's a treasure hunt using your Hearthstone card collection. I'll start it off with a riddle, and you try to figure out what card I'm talking about. First one to answer correctly picks a new card and makes the next riddle. Make it as difficult as you want, just not impossible :)
Seems very strong, especially for allowing some huge swing turns given how many bounce/battlecry duplications Rogue has. And also has some good meme/OTK potential as well on the "cards played this turn" mechanic for Edwin VanCleef or Spectral Pillager
I think everyone is forgetting the new lackey which adds a dragon to your hand. You don't even need to run dragons beside Waxadred, with all the lackey generation cards and the Invoke mechanic, it should be easy to discover a dragon to activate this.
While I agree ads suck, and I wanted to see how long we could go without them, at the end of the day, we did not receive the financial support from the community that is required to even pay for just the server bills. People gotta eat, we gotta keep the servers on, and so ads are now a thing.
Around 6 weeks ago, the first ads on the site were enabled. They were only visible to logged-out users.
Today, logged in users who are not a "supporter" of the site will also see ads, though a reduction of them compared to logged out users.
Site supporters will never see ads.
If you want to remove ads, you can support the site with a monthly contribution via Patreon. After contributing, you can link your OOC account to your Patreon account via account connect in account management and within 10 minutes you should be recognized as a site supporter.
If you can figure out a way we can support the site and the content creators on it without ads, I'm all ears. So far though, only 41 people are supporting us on Patreon despite hundreds of thousands of visitors each month.
With all that said though, the goal is to keep the ads as sane as possible. We already have a large amount of stuff blocked that could be making us more money, but I'm not okay with people get scammed. Our page load speeds still remain several times faster than HearthPwn too, so ads haven't had a huge negative effect on that.
And if you really want to, feel free to install an adblocker. If you do go this route, we'd love it if you would participate in the community as a way of giving back to it and if you see good deck guides, show authors support by giving them upvotes!
It's good that you ramp only if you hold a dragon, which won't be that common turn 2 actually. Still, it's pretty good whenever before you already have too much mana so it's still powerful.
Out of all the dragon explorers so far showed, this is the only one I believe it will see play in high tier decks. This is essentially an azure drake for control decks. even in midrange decks this can be good, due to the high quality of mage dragons (Yes, I know class cards no longer have higher priority in discover, but mage cards still only appear in mage discovers).
How do you even deal with this turn 1? Even on turn 2 you must have a minion with more than 3 health to survive or early removal in hand. That's crazy for an aggro class like hunter to have.
Best of the Galakronds so far. Zero mana cards? Fantastic. Draw? Useful. Unending stream of Lackeys? Oh boy yes. Welcome back to Tempo Rogue people; Burgle Rogue people (like myself) had our moment in the sun, but alas it is now over.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
Pack filler :(.
New Rogue Spell - Dragon's Hoard

New Paladin Minion - Nozdormu the Timeless

Not gonna be bad, but will also not be that good as it seems.
New Rogue Hero - Galakrond, the Nightmare
Looks bonkers, once again, let's hope Control Rogue works.
Waxadred
I just love the design of this card, I think I will craft it at launch just for fun. Necrium blade and Shadow of death are both going in that deck.
New Rogue Spell - Seal Fate
I could see this being a good target for Prep, but beyond that I'm not sure the Invoke mechanic is worth the extra cost.
New Paladin Minion - Nozdormu the Timeless
Works only in Big Paladin, or at least that's what I think and man I love that deck.
Learn Draconic
Cyclone Mage doesn't spend that much mana that fast. Outside of it i think it does not worth a place in your deck.
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

I’ll start with:
Alone I’m quite fearsome,
you better watch out,
but doubled I’m more than tripled,
and my gurgle - a mighty shout.
EDIT: Added leaderboard:
New Mage Spell - Learn Draconic
This is crazy good for so many reasons:
- Obvious apprentice mana cyclone combos that end up with a big boi dragon.
- Possibility to use questing explorer in your deck, seeing as it is one of the best body/mana draw card.
- you complete this quest with normal mage plays, no need to change your deck to specifically use the quest.
- Finally, who else remember rogues doing auctioneer turns ending up in big edwins/spiders/arcane giants? well mage now can do that but with dragons.
New Rogue Minion - Umbral Skulker
Seems very strong, especially for allowing some huge swing turns given how many bounce/battlecry duplications Rogue has. And also has some good meme/OTK potential as well on the "cards played this turn" mechanic for Edwin VanCleef or Spectral Pillager
Sathrovarr
It has some potential to find a place in a really greedy control deck.
Candle Breath

Dragonbane
If it hits a minion then it's a big swing,if not you are in a bad spot. I hate these kind of randomness.

Breath of Dreams
It's good that you ramp only if you hold a dragon, which won't be that common turn 2 actually. Still, it's pretty good whenever before you already have too much mana so it's still powerful.
Dragonblight Cultist
3 mana 3/1 and two 1/1-s ,some desperate Galakrond deck might find a use for it.
New Rogue Minion - Waxadred
The memes - inject them into my veins.
There are so many ridiculous shenanigans I can think of with this - and with Silence being the only real way to stop it.
New Mage Minion - Azure Explorer
Out of all the dragon explorers so far showed, this is the only one I believe it will see play in high tier decks. This is essentially an azure drake for control decks. even in midrange decks this can be good, due to the high quality of mage dragons (Yes, I know class cards no longer have higher priority in discover, but mage cards still only appear in mage discovers).
Dwarven Sharpshooter
How do you even deal with this turn 1? Even on turn 2 you must have a minion with more than 3 health to survive or early removal in hand. That's crazy for an aggro class like hunter to have.

Dragon's Hoard
There is a lot of 1 mana discover cards and none of them are being played. I think i said enough.
New Druid Spell - Breath of Dreams
Dang.
Dragon druid will be viable because of this. I wouldn't be surprised if this card gets nerfed.
Molten Breath
Super Bash in Dragon Control Warrior. It was played back then and i don't know why it would'nt be played now. Not an op but a decent card overall.
New Rogue Minion - Waxadred
Really like it, let's hope Control Rogue becomes a thing, even without N'Zoth.
