Hehe waxadred
Hehe Flik Skyshiv.
But Flik is only for Rogue, though.
Like Zola the Gorgon before it, this’ll see play if there’s a specific value engine or combo scheme that can use it. Miiiight be usable in a general/midrange Dragon deck just knowing it’ll create value at some point. There might also be some high-impact legendary Dragons that you’ll specifically want to combo with this (I’m thinking Warrior will be happy to wait until T10 to drop Deathwing, Mad Aspect in order to play it again).
This will see play in hand decks particularly warlock hand dragon to maintain condition for the hellfire on a stick.
Valueeeee! Using this with most of the dragons who discover a dragon and that alone is really nice, the Druid one will especually love this. It’s also very nice with the new paladin dragon that heals 8. More dragons. More value. More 5/5 cards.
2 Mana 2/3 Better version of Youthful Brewmaster for Dragons? 5 Stars. Especially if you have something like Deathwing Mad Aspect, AND you calculated that he can survive his battlecry.
Looks awesome in the first moments but not on secound thought for some points:
-You don’t want this for turn 2 since you don’t get the eff (2/3 is okay but there are better options)
-In later turns a 2/3 body is not that important and normally you prefer to play e.g. a 7 mana minion instead of 5+2/3 body.
-You have to control a dragon so you can’t even use the eff every time you want.
Wouldn’t it more reasonable to just play another copy of the dragon you wanna copy (or something similar if you reached the limit)? I think yes
Maybe good for combo
Wow… Here come a LOT of duplicate legendary dragons… Yay!
Great effect, zero stat loss, still balanced, great card! 5/5
I agree with you, I think this might look better than it will be in practice.
It’s like Zola the Gorgon, who was only really used in combo decks and decks that wanted a few more resources, like Shudderwock Combo and Crystal Core Rogue. A combo deck might pop up in this expansion, but I’m not creative enough to see it yet.
One place this might be used is in a value-oriented dragon heavy deck, where getting extra copies of dragons (such as with War Master Voone) helps you win the game.
