Bandersmosh (5/5): Stats are good for the cost and gettin a random legendary in the process is pretty good. Can get access to something you should not have and on T5 no less. This card could easilly snowball.
Nithogg (3/5): Can provide nice value, but you need to be in a winning position, since the eggs can be killed off for no benefit by your opponent.
Zzeraku the Warped (4/5): Big dragon that can become a win condition. Basically giving your Hero Power the Jaraxxus HP on top. It is a very slow play and you need to have Health to spare, but even just as a body with a dragon tag should be decent. You can obviously play it for 10 mana to get one drake right away.
Cumulo-Maximus (5/5): Superb card, if you can get the effect off. Can help you get a lot of done for 5 mana on turns, where you are overloaded. Obviously draft dependent, but even if you need to play it just for tempo, it is still good. Elemental synergy on top of all that. Amazing card.
Arcane Breath (3/5): Heavilly dependant on the draft, without dragons, it sucks. With them, its amazing.
Bad Luck Albatross (5/5): This card is actually sick for arena. Good aggresive stats for a 3-drop and an effect that can basically negate two draws from your opponent. Sure, it will be RNG if your opponent draws the 1/1s, but it is an ability that can help you win the game. Were it a worse statline, i wouldnt be as excited about it, but since you dont sacrifice any tempo for the effect, just amazing.
Dragoncaster (2/5): Obviously if you can get some nice value out of the battlecry, it can be a very powerful card. But you need to have a spell you want to play and a dragon in hand. Might be too much to ask for it to provide consistent value in arena, but if you get draft for it, it can swing games hard.
Ancharrr (2/5): Great if you have Pirates, not so much without. Not much else to say, still a weapon i guess, so that is always something.
Dread Raven (4/5): With each 3/4 3-drop we grow more and more accustomed to it being the baseline we strive for. But it is still rare enough to get such a minion, especially with random sets getting in each rotation, so the statline is still quite premium. And it has a positive, albeit rare, effect too. Pretty good card overall.
Kobold Stickyfinger (1/5): While i like the card, i dont think it is a good arena card, not to pick it during draft anyway. How many times you actually snipe a weapon with Ooze? Not that often, but it is at least a decent tempo play. This is subpar 5-drop, hell even subpar 4-drop, for the body alone. I would probably pick Nightblade over this if offered. Pirate tag might matter in some drafts to save this.
Transmogrifier (5/5): Random legendary is a gamble, but chances are, it will be better than the card you would have drawn. This card can actually snowball hard, if you can play it early and your opponent doesnt have an answer. I dont know why, but im getting Cavern Dreamer vibe when looking at this card as to how can the game be decided on T2, if you get lucky enough.
Diving Gryphon (4/5): Assuming you have some other Rush minions in your deck, this is basically a Shadow Bolt that draws you another removal. Damn. If you dont have other Rush minions, this is still a decent removal option that can benefit from Attack buffs and beast synergies.
Cool to see an effect many of us created via custom cards before. I wonder what the implementation is actually. Will it put the weapon in your hand or equip it?
Im impressed with your work! Great class, great hero power, great keyword. Even tho Retaliate might look at first glance (mainly due to the example card) as a "tar creeper effect", it is not true. And you did design your class that the separate attacks matter. Loving the flavor throughout all expansions, really well done!
One note tho, im pretty sure that Sky Admiral Roger's art is Lady Liadrin :)
Chenvaala (3/5): Not the worse stats for a 3-drop and has a positive effect plus an elemental tag. It would probably depend on what you already drafted to see value in this. Doubt you will in an average game play 3 spells in a turn, especially early. I guess it could have potential in the late game, where you would have mana to drop this and play some spells, but it just feels too inconsistent in theory.
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza (3/5): I almost want to say its worth drafting a highlander deck for this, but then again, with so many discover a dragon cards this expansion and all the other strong cards, probably not. What is going to happen instead, because this is a neutral legendary, it will come from those discover effects and it will crush dreams. Probably still ok to draft for the offchance you can trigger the battlecry, would depend on the other choices in any given time. 9 mana 8/8 dragon ... you can do worse.
Chromatic Egg (1/5): While the effect can be quite powerful, i dont think you can afford to play a 5 mana do nothing card and be in a great position. And if you can, you dont really need the value anyway at that point. Better pick something that can help you in more situations.
[Hearthstone Card (Fluffy Kibler Dragon) Not Found] (x/5): Not draftable in Arena.
Dragon Breeder (5/5): Decent 2-drop with a pretty powerful effect, granted its conditional, but with how many dragons are going to be flying around, id say it wont be that hard to trigger it.
I agree that even tho you could get like a 2/2+7/7 rather consistencly for example, it might not be enough for constructed to see play. Not to mention Handlock would have to get some more tools to be a thing, but we shall see. Plenty of cards to be revealed.
Valdris Felgorge (5/5): The hand size will likely not matter for Arena, but essentially playing Sprint while developing a board? Hell yes!
Abyssal Summoner (3/5): Obviously designed to synergize with the new hand size increase mechanic. Chances are that as WL, you will have cards in your hand most of the game and you need "just" 4 to get decent value. All the new discover effect and Lackey spawners help fill your hand too. This should perform relatively well on average i think.
Flik Skyshiv (5/5): Assassinate on a stick. Literally. Very good value and in arena, it could potentially hit multiple minions. Just be sure you are not sniping your own. The battlecry does not discriminate :)
Sanctuary (2/5): This is a hard card to evaluate. Obviously there are turns in Arena, where you dont take damage. Probably more so than in Constructed and certainly, it can happen early, so playing this on curve or on T3/T4 while having board advantage can help you tons. But it will pretty much never triggers while you're behind, which is abysmal. I dont know, maybe it will become the next Tar Creeper, but until i see it in play, i have my doubts.
Zul'Drak Ritualist (3/5): I want to like this card, it is a pretty huge taunt for the cost, but giving your opponent 3 minions, even if they are 1-drops, can come back to bite you. For the next rotation, there dont seem to be many bad outcomes, worst is probably Injured Kvaldir and Flame Imp, but stuff like Spirit of the Dead, Spirit of the Raptor or Spirit of the Rhino could potentially lose you the game, not even joking. Again, i will have to see this card in play to pass my final judgment, maybe it will win you more games than it loses in the end.
Copy? Sure. But id say they get inspired by the community is more like it.
Better since if you build a deck around it you will be drawing specific cards.

Definitely a nice value card for highlander decks.

I kept reading it Divine Gryphon and could not figure out why its called that, where is the Divine Shield and why is that a Hunter card :D oh boy ...
Cool to see an effect many of us created via custom cards before. I wonder what the implementation is actually. Will it put the weapon in your hand or equip it?
Yup. This is a little confusing. Probably shortened so it coul fit on 4 lines easilly.
I havent tested it myself, but i dont think it would. The second battlecry still resolves before minion hits the board.
I might have some old info. Tho it still shouldnt kill itself.

Get few Lackeys, your hand is going to get full fast :)

It would have to be something along the lines of Barrens Stablehand, since most of the Dragons you can get have pretty high stats.
