This tech card is a necessity in a heavy-Armor meta, but those don't currently exist right now. It's akin to Kobold Stickyfinger in a sense of "why didn't they print this ages ago."
You can counteract the +1 Cost penalty by using Breath of Dreams or Frizz Kindleroost in a Dragon deck. Someone will experiment with Big Dragon Druid, I'm sure of it.
I don't think this actually works in a token deck, because the "tokens" are generated, not already in the deck. You would need an Oasis Surger "summon a copy of this minion" effect to take full advantage of the +2/+2, and there are only so many of those.
However, the +1 Cost penalty could be counteracted by using Breath of Dreams and/or Frizz Kindleroost in a Dragon deck, for even beefier Dragons. Someone will experiment with it, I'm sure.
Still waiting on those Warrior Invoke cards, Blizzard :/ The card is fine but hey, at least we're still seeing some Lackey support. Warrior hasn't really used their Lackey generators; maybe this'll change.
There's a lot to choose from in Wild (in terms of 1-Cost class spells), but in Standard your selection should be pretty limited. That's a good thing, because you'll get what you want more often than not. Just need to find an archetype that wants this Battlecry, and it'll find a home.
If it had Taunt like Chillmaw, I might have given it 5 stars. As it is, you have to activate it yourself; the card is okay, but I think you can do better.
We need to see more early-to-mid-game Dragons for this card to be really great, but it's still good.
Annoyed that they butchered the Gryphon Rider flavor by attaching dragons to it, but I guess that was about all that could be done to make it playable.
Really disappointed in the Neutral Epics; outside of Kobold Stickyfinger they seem to all be meme-level or filler. This could see use in a Big archetype, but it probably won't because who really wants to risk it?
Great AoE in the early game, but it falls off pretty hard as the game goes on. I can see the comparisons to Doomsayer, but he has more Health and is guaranteed to destroy all minions in question.
I think it's a good card, but not necessarily an "insta-craft". Down the line Frizz might be considered overkill, or too greedy a play. It also has the Prince Keleseth/Luna's Pocket Galaxy problem in-that you need to play it as early as possible. I would wait and see before rushing to craft it.
"Metal & Mayhem" is both a reference to the chaos that is Rock & Roll, as well as literal metal; i.e: mechs. In my expansion, Dr. Boom disrupts ETC's rock concert with plans for global domination. This was before The Boomsday Project was announced, by the way, so in a sense I called it in believing Dr. Boom would return heh.
I've honestly never heard of "Kansas", outside of it being a name for a state of course. The music is good, though.
The flavor of Red Carpet Escort is so on point. A few of these cards make me jealous that I didn't think of them first. Cool logo, as well.
Could have gone head-to-head against my ETC expansion, "Metal & Mayhem", but alas I was knocked out of the Year competition before I got there. Disqualified from a competition I was helping to run *facepalm*
I would have to see the other Shaman cards, because this is a bit of an odd duck. Sure you can pair it with Corrupt the Waters, but is it worth the effort? I don't know yet.
Cheap spell generation that inflicts an acceptable amount of damage for 1-mana. Mage is a pretty easy place to fit some Dragons IIRC; seems like a fine card. Good, but not OP.

Another Neutral Epic I don't want to open or craft; the memes are strong with this one (and every-other one it seems).
Fluffy Kibler Dragon is no longer fluffy :(

Great with buffs, like Dragonrider Talritha. Lifesteal feels kind of random, though.

Good for sniping some of the Dragons that are going to be around, but you still have to kill them (and this).
The card is okay.

I want to pair this with Fal'dorei Strider. I don't know why I like the spiders so much, but I do. I want to play an Elise deck in Runeterra.
...I don't even like spiders IRL lol.
Anyway the card seems good. Not OP, but fun in the right deck.
Do you put your faith in the Light? If yes, play this card.
