    Ramp Dragon Druid anyone? Or even an Astral Communion Dragon Druid? Put out Deathwing Mk.2 and have him die and pull say this guy, Ysera and Chromaggus?

    TURN 7: Scaled Nightmare > Inner Fire = 8/8 body, 16/8 on the following turn

    This is looking good for Dragon Priest

    With Blessing of Kings we have a 10 mana 6/12 that becomes a 12/12 the turn after. DON’T MENTION BGH WE DON’T KNOW HOW HARD ITS GETTING NERFED YET.

      doesnt matter even with bgh. its 6/12 at the end of your turn. they cant bgh it. when its 12/12 you already got your value (assuming you hit face) but even clearing a minion is fine

    Has anyone realized that the card says “you” and not “your”?

      Unfortunately, with so much dragon synergy coming from Blackrock, we won’t see many dragon decks in standard. Sounds fun for wild, though.

        BRM is not rotating out!

          lol I like this dragon its gonna work in some cool way, at least I hope

          Yes it is. The cards in wild will come from classic, tgt, loe, and wotog. The three most recent expansions/adventures.

          • vanCleef
            March 30, 2016 at 3:17 pm

            that’s supposed to be standard cards, sorry.

          • Kittenstix
            March 30, 2016 at 4:00 pm

            No, they are only rotating out naxxramas and goblins vs gnomes.

          • Cable
            March 30, 2016 at 4:01 pm

            No standerd will consist of BRM, TGT, LOE, WotOG and classic/expert cards. When the new adventure hits (later this year prolly) BRM will rotate out.

    for me? only dragon preist and maby pally wits some dragon-ish deck maby MABY warrior with some combo deck any attack buff on that creature is good cause ramp its attack to 8 with inner fire on turn 7? not terrible for me

    “Crazed Alchemist” and “Conceal” anyone? 😀 Coulde be a 16 / 2 IF it survices to the next round … which is most unlikely but not impossible!

    • Ragnaroose the Firemoose
      March 30, 2016 at 1:07 pm

      The problem is both crazed alchemist and spare parts are rotating out of standard.

    If nobody noticed it, then I will say it: Grammar Lesson for the writer, it is “your turn” and not “you turn”!
    Looks like spelling is not important in a card game these days? 😛

    conceal + cold blood

    I’d love to try this with Crazed Alchemist.

    Validated doomsayer has a more reliable way of gaining attack. If this lives one turn it isn’t big enough and the card is too expensive to buff.

      Blessing of Might?!?!?!

    • Nightfall
      March 30, 2016 at 2:53 pm

      validated doomsayer is horrible, you can pretty much only play it when the enemy has no minions on the board, otherwise it will lose to much health bevore he got his attack, this dragon has very unique and cool ways of working, validated not…

    LOL Trash.

    Cabal Shadow Priest and Stampeding Kodo make this card abominably bad.

    • xXSilverswordXx
      March 29, 2016 at 11:41 pm

      cabal is priest specific and kodo is only drafted in arena (unless you are rank 20)
      the answers to this are all priest specific.

      This card is a must kill for a lot of classes,
      With such a high threat level, i think many games will be snowballed with this guy.

      Classes like druid will have to throw spells at it to kill it if they do not have board control, which is very painful. (Trust me, i play druid)

      like how BGH makes Dr. Boom terrible right?

      • Nightfall
        March 30, 2016 at 2:55 pm

        hahaha dr boom keeps boom bots dr boom always has been that little bit to broken

      • chris
        March 31, 2016 at 1:02 pm

        you’re comparing this to boom? arguably the best card in HS to date?
        How many 7+ attack minions do you see right now – outside of DR Boom because of BGH? boom gets played because he leaves behind the annoying bots.

    • Poison
      March 30, 2016 at 4:19 am

      these are just 2 counters

      you also need to consider that this card can be buffed with seal of champion for example and then grows to a 10 / 8

      this card is unbelievable threatening and got instant taunt

    priest steals it with cabal and can also steal it with 4 attack with shrinkmesiter

      shadow word: horror

        Horror :d, = Death

        • Bling
          April 8, 2016 at 1:57 pm

          No, shadowword horror is a new priest board clear that kills all 2 or lower attack minions

    • iron
      March 30, 2016 at 12:23 am

      it says DOUBLE the attack , so if you buff it with lets say +3 or +4/+4 paladin cards it will likely survive , and the next turn it will have 10 or 12 attack , so it is a MASSIVE threat as long as you can support it with some damage

    • Nightfall
      March 30, 2016 at 2:07 am

      Because shrinkmeister stays around

    • iTails
      March 30, 2016 at 3:02 am

      shrinkmesiter is GVG

    • Necrofear

      Shrinkmaster is being phased out.

    • Nightfall
      March 30, 2016 at 2:56 pm

      priest is gonna be bad, shrink is gonna go away, shadow word pain is also priest, which is still gonna be bad, shadow word horror sucks and will never see play, I THINK, yeah look again its a preeeettty solid dragon

    Maybe with a Seal of Champions? But even then, you’d be doing the big no-no of buffing a creature that you just played. Also since Gahz’rilla doesn’t see much play, i doubt this one will.

    • Zanon
      March 29, 2016 at 11:34 pm

      Gahz’rilla is a hunter card while this is a neutral. Secondly, the mana cost is amazing. Turn 8 play this into conceal into cold blood=> a non killable 6-8 that will be a 12/8 when he attacks. Dragon rogue is on the way boys,

    6 mana for 8 health and an attack multiplying ability, very worth it. +its a dragon

    Good for priest and dragon paladin, or maybe it could even bring back master of disguise rogue

    • spooky
      March 29, 2016 at 10:17 pm

      oh shit xD
      dragon > conceal >> master of disguise

      • Jeniok
        March 30, 2016 at 12:12 am

        Yeh!! The best case turn 5 that 55 paly dragon paly turn 6 – 4(or is it 3. I can’t remember the reduction states) mana 2-6 Concele. Turn 7 4 mana master of deguise. And.. we spend 5+4+4=13 mana. And I’m asking myself.. what do we get.. 2 procs… 8-6 “taunt”. Well that’s bad.
        What about turn 5 – 55 dragon.. turn 6 a much more valuable dragon! Which will give you value immediately. And play some “good doctors” turn 7,8 (not talking about boom)

      • Dari9
        March 30, 2016 at 4:44 am

        This might be an indicator for master of disguise getting changed since the stealth is permanent and this card limits design space (remember warsong commander).

        • Lennon255
          March 30, 2016 at 9:29 am

          Lets hope that it does because being forced to kill someone within the next 4 turns sucks. Also with Emperor reducing any 2 cards from this 4 card combo (this card + Master of Disguise + 2 Cold Blood) you can get a perma Stealthed 10/8 that becomes a 20/8 the next turn.
