Also he'S somewhat playable as a solid midrange dragon for decks that need the synergy (I would consider it in Warlock, if only for consistency's sake)
Yeah this is a very nice midrange tool, helps you to keep your hand full, gives dragon tribe synergy and places a decently statted minion on the board. Should see quite a lot of play.
The cost to effect ratio here is great, its a dragon, IDK what is bad about this card. It is a slow, so its not going to be part of many aggro decks, but Azure Drake used to be one of the best cards in the game as just a 5 mana 4/4 draw a card, the spell damage wasn't even always important. Spell damage was generally great and this is more of a vanilla minion, but its got a great statline for a cantrip.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
wonder if azure drake would see play as of today's meta in standard..
This expansion is a huge power creep btw.. [Hearthstone Card (bonefire elemental) Not Found] had a condition for this effect this.. has none.. it's just a card you just throw in your deck if you want to cycle faster..(probably post rotation, on this stage of the game the decks have a lot of synergy to have random cards).
But I agree with the post above or I should say @DoubleSummon's post because someone can comment before me. :D
Azure Drake should be moved to HoF in the time it moved but that's not valid for now. I also don't think that it will see play in this meta. I meant the metas of this year especially. It probably would shine again in this expansion tho. They might think about put it back to the classic in my opinion. It is not that broken anymore and we past the Jade Druid, Jade Shaman times.
And powercreeps are everywhere in this expansion. Should we be worried about this situation which team 5 out of ideas, i really don't know because some cards are really creative but most of them feels like they "borrow" those ideas from fan creations. I will be observing next years designs. It feels like there are some shakes in Hearthstone teams, not just in team 5. The stream also felt like that.

An Azure Drake with +1/+1 instead of the Spell Damage, or a Bonfire Elemental without the condition. Seems like a great card either-way. Azure Drake was a staple even in classes that didn't care about the Spell Damage; this could be that replacement.
A new Common Neutral Minion, Big Ol' Whelp, has been revealed!

Cool flavor, will help with draw in my only dragon deck
Azure Drake is back! Maybe be even better.
Might be better than Azure Drake for the deck that has no spell damage, 5/5 draw a card with dragon tag... playable at best.
Decent card, but will probably be played more in arena than constructed.
wow very good stats and a draw! yes guys big blue is back
uhuhuhuhu, he's a chunky boi
I love him already
Also he'S somewhat playable as a solid midrange dragon for decks that need the synergy (I would consider it in Warlock, if only for consistency's sake)
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Azure Drake lives again!

Azure Drake, but generally more useful. That said, facing this might be less frightening because Spell Damage makes a minion a high priority target.

That's definetly gonna see play!
Most Decks that use Azure Drake usually don't care much about the spelldamage.

Cool art and great midrange card for dragons decks, but bad thing, just draw a card can be not enough vs aggro and maybe only for midrange dragon deck
Why didn't they unHoFed Azure Drake???
literally azure drake. 5 stars, played in every dragon deck? ez
Who doesn’t love having even more card draw with the only downside being losing 1 stat point?
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?

Solid card thanks to its battlecry. It will see play in dragon deck and maybe in other decks where drawing is essencial
Best pack filler so far.

Good stats with an upside, good card
