    With the Shaman's ability to flood the board, this is a no-brainer card for certain decks. The Overload keeps it in check a little...except you can also find synergy with the Overload, so the right deck will abuse both aspects of the card.

    I was down on the card until I read the comments; combining him with Earthen Might or an early Overload is a solid play, I think.

    Effectively a 5 mana 7/5 across three bodies, 4/2 of which has rush. If Galakrond Shaman is good, this is an auto-include.

    Basically what I want to say; nailed it in one. I wondered if someone would get an automatic "Invoke twice" ability, and here it is. Solid card.

    Needed to be a Warrior card so you could combo with Skybarge. But still, it's a Fire Fly for Pirates; I'm sure it will see play.

    Works great in a world where you're generating and/or drawing a bunch of Dragons (like with the Explorers), but it's ultimately just a ball of stats. Do you really need this in your deck? Probably not.

    Works well with Embiggen, but outside of that I don't feel it. You want to Recruit with a purpose; otherwise you're rolling the dice every time you use this Sidequest, hoping that it's not going to pull out a Battlecry.

    As Kripp (and others) have noted, it's SI:7 Agent but requires a Dragon in-hand instead of Combo. I've always found Combo to be a pain, whereas this is much more reliable on turn-3. Good card.

    6-mana Deal 5 damage + leave a better Bearshark on the table. Looks good to me; glad we're getting a number of solid Common Dragons.

    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.

    You need to be lucky in-that you drew a Dragon worth putting on the field without a Battlecry, and you need to not summon a minion for your opponent. Seems like a hard sell.

    It seems fine, a fairly simple early Dragon. For a Common, that's about all you can expect.

    It's okay. Tech against [Hearthstone Card (Quest Shaman) Not Found], but they can press the button whenever they would float 1-mana to get rid of the downside. At least the stats are vanilla.

    Yet another disappointing Neutral Epic.

    What the fuck is this? "Have fun playing your new Dragons; I'm just gonna play my Mountain Giant with Rush MUHAHAHAHA!!" Pretty salty because this seems super busted against early- and mid-game Dragons, which is something we need more of.

    Obviously it's not as good as Defile; Defile is arguably busted lol. It will however find a home in a Standard Warlock deck that needs another board clear. It functions like a cheaper Volcano, which ain't bad at all.

    Seems like a good card. Transform a lesser or damaged minion after it attacks, get another attack. The comparisons to Oasis Surger seem apt, in a good way.

    This seems really bad. Spells will have random targeting, and minions will come without Battlecries. Big minions means you won't get a lot of cards, and small cards means you have minimal impact. I just don't see why you would want to play this, which means I will obviously pull it.

    The other minion is Floating Watcher.

    "Dame" Hazelbark implies it's a she. Like saying "Madam".

    I'm happy with Lunara, so I think I'm going to pass on this one.

    I don't know if it's going to go in a Quest Druid deck; do they have the space for this? That being said, it's a Titanic Lackey for Druids: being a 1-Mana spell means it's pretty flexible, and the 2/2 body is perfectly fine.
