Ten months late, but I have an answer. Deathwing is a servant of the Old Gods. In Cataclysm, you see Deathwing's corpse in the bad future you travel to where the Old Gods have won. In that future, Deathwing's body is impaled on Wyrmrest Temple. This artwork shows Deathwing standing on top of Wyrmrest Temple, implying this card takes place moments before the Old Gods kill him since they no longer have any use for him.
Great art but meh effect. Most dragons have a battlecry with not that great bodies, so you need super specific cards like [Hearthstone Card (Hungry Drake) Not Found] or Ysera. Beyond that...10 mana do nothing this turn. Any poly effect and you're screwed.

why would this guy be in whispers of the old gods? I don't see how they are related

dope
I am speculating that we will get a bunch of dragons in the last set of Year of the Dragon. If so, this card will be fantastic in Wild.
