Real talk tho- do you guys have a super secret dragon decklist that you used internally in playtesting which made you think they were viable?

I played and spectated many others playing Dragon Warrior decks with 5+ Dragons in top 100 Legend. I think maybe it wasn't as polarizing as Mech Mage or Mech Shaman. It's certainly not lost on me that the perception of the vocal majority here is that Dragons aren't viable. Perception is important and we always keep our eyes open for the feedback!

Yeah. They have Realz and guys like Dean 'Iksar' Ayala on balance testing. Very skilled high legend rank players.
