This is....underwhelming. It's not terrible, but you can only really play it on an empty board.

 

 

don't even think this is great anti-Highlander tech (at least in Standard)

Realistically, you cannot predict when your opponent is going to use Zephrys so you can't really play it before that.

If you play it too early they might just draw the bird and then your effort was wasted.

Not to mention that it needs at …

I love him. I just love him a lot.

 

Is it just me or are the legendary dragons a bit underwhelming so far? At least compared to the rest of the expansion.

This is pretty much just Ysera for Warlock...and Ysera hasn't seen play in years.

You can't run it in Questlock because you need the hero power to activate. We still don't have enough healing to …

yes,

Battlecry: Fill your board with 6/6 Dragons, then kill yourself

Eh...

Quest Shaman doesn't run enough overload for this to be worth and I don't think they'd want to include an overload package just to make this work. Kobold LAckey + Wasp already does the same amount of damage for less commitment.

Aggro Shaman already has Lava Burst, which is better because it's cheaper, and they really don't …

another Volcanic Potion clone

This one doesn't even need the dragon synergy to be playable. Maybe value control priest might be a thing after all. I guess it depends on how the rest of the meta ends up.

I don't see this achieving much.

Even if you went full Shuffle you can't play more than 3 a turn...at that point they're just worse Pogo Hoppers

Hunter technically has the ability to combine them with Tundra Rhino, but even then, you'd need the Rhino to stick before you can do anything with the birds.

looks like shenaniganas, but a 3-mana 3/4 with Beast Tag and an upside could see play once Nightmare Amalgam rotates.

Ah yes, the fabled Kingsbane counter, only one year too late.

I don't see this being used in Standard unless Waggle Pick takes over completely.

5-mana is a lot and competes directly with Harrison Jones, who is more universally useful.

Also I guess I can safely dust my Kingsbane now?

the first tech card to also tech against itself

"this...this is the taste of a Kingsbane Player, Giorno Giovanna"

it's good and all, but WArrior doesn't really have any Pirate in Standard and I can't think of any Neutral ones they are desperate to use (Greenskin, maybe Amalgam for a Dragon hybrid?)

The main problem I see is that Warrior doesn't have any weapon tutors anymore so running a single weapon as a draw engine doesn't seem that …

Rafaam already demonstrated how a deck full of legendaries doesn't win games.

Therefore this won't do anything more.

It's gonna be great in Quest Hunter

 Springpaw, Hogsteed and Zilliax are enough to make this consistent, and Quest Hunter likes draw a lot.

It'S basically an early Huffer when you need it. If only we had a suitable substitue for Leokk

it can also draw its other copy, boosting it's overall consistency

"That should make it a little worse than Shambler"

This statement was written because of the mana cost: given that Abyssal Summoner costs 6, you can't go turn 3 Mountain Giant into turn 4 Faceless Shambler but yeah, you're also right.

i was more thinking in terms of consistency, seeing how …

would be interesting to see how the different classes compare to each other.

Hunter for instance wouldn't fare to well because you might run into the two class dragons which are a bit underwhelming, whereas Rogue has a chance of discovering Waxadred, which is a very good result.

The RNG kinda makes it hit or miss. It's a strong card for Hunter, Paladin and MAgge (and Druid if they somehow come up with a non-quest Highlander deck)

Probably also good in Highlander Rogue if that's still a thing.

Will feel pretty bad to play against this when it drops to large dragons, but seeing how many …

Didn't expect Highlander Support this soon.

Guess this is effectively the Galakrond for the Hero side
