I mean, It's a dragon. And the whole point of dragons is that you don't play them but hold them in your hand, so I don't mind having a slow, situation dragon. This might be played as a last-resort card for dragon druids, but otherwise it is just to slow to be played.

Instead of 4/4 Spiders, you get a random Dragon...the vast majority of the time, you'll get something better than a 4/4. If the Druid can cycle through their deck as quickly as a Rogue can, that this could be something worth considering. That being said, it's expensive and slow, and probably too much to warrant building around :(
I honestly don´t see this one working. Comes too late, doesn´t have an immediate impact and an ocassional random dragon in later turns will not do any wonders.
Ironically enough, the fact that this comes in a dragon centric expansion might make it even more weak, since the total pool will include a lot more small/situational minions. That coupled with it being so slow probably will mean it won’t see much play

Despite being random, I think this is overall a strong card. But it's very slow though, without any direct impact. I don't think it will see competitive play on the highest level, but it will surely give some funny Trolden videos xd
Maybe no meta deck possible, but I have to think that there is fun to be had in a Miracle Deck with Gadgetzan Auctioneer. Of course, it will be hard to get the fun started in time...
I look forward to watching my Elise, Elise, Elise, Ysera, Ysera, Deathwing, Deathwing (and, sigh, Hemet, Hemet) deck fail miserably (as Elise). I think it's the most dupes you can have...
I mentioned in another thread that I thought Waxadred with Necriums was a better Chef Nomi. This is worse than that, but much more flexible, and slots easily into the dragon archetype whereas I think you need to build an entire deck around Waxadred (that probably isn't just a dragon-Rogue). Is it better than original Ysera? Who cares! Why not both?!
Its a bummer this is a 9 mana 4/12 with a weird value related effect. And most of the dragons want to Battlecry, and not just be summoned, making this effect even less good. IDK, its fine, but nothing I'm impressed by.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.

Carrion, my wayward grub.
Dragon druid is going to be my first deck attempt for sure. Going to love big dragons coming out from nowhere.

If you have the time, you should totally check out our weekly Hearthstone card design competitions! :D

Seems like a fun card to play with Augmented Elekk before the next set after this one.
She might do crazy things if you play it as the last card. It seemed a "one-last push" card for me.
Ok for empty board tho. Like her older version.

Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
I could see this being run similar to Nomi or Ellise/Zephyrs in druid decks with strong cycle.
Well .. there's a lot of strong dragons, but it's too RNG dependent, I don't think this will see much play ..
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Hard to say how good it will be we need all the dragons 1st. if there is a few high stat ones with taunt its very good.

I'll give a Standard Dragon Druid deck a whirl if this comes my way; I already have an odd dragon druid deck in mind for Wild.

i think dragon druid will become a thing, and this card would be pretty strong
As a wild player this seems terribly slow and unplayable honestly. Even in Standard this doesn't seem to make the cut.
The Forgotten Wilds - Druid
Interesting card. Could save your game or make you lose it, depending on the RNG and what dragon the portals summon.
