Definitely dont think this will see any play in a priest deck as you said, they already have so many better dragon related cards but thats why im happy this is neutral, allows other classes to start experimenting with dragon decks again.

Yes yes YES, I dont care how good this card alone is going to be, this alone gives dragon suport to every other class and removes priests monopoly on taking advantage over dragons again and that to me is a good sign!! <3 This also makes the all tribe spidertank more usefull, love this new archtype they are pushing.
As for this card itself, the 4/4 stats when not holding a dragon isnt to much of a drawback but most of the times you will have a dragon in your hand so a 4 mana 5/4 with rush is really good, its like a less op more expensive Alexstrasza's Champion but that card was insane and this is a neutral so every class will be able to use it.

I mean as some one mentioned erlier, you can fill your board with mountain giant using this.

Yeah to bad it seems like blizard has no interest in pushing dragons for other classes then just priest anymore or make mech decks a thing again, those used to be the most flexible races if we dont count murlocs with how alot of their neutral suport cards where really strong, those cards are sadly wild only now.
As for murlocs, their synergies are to agressive for my taste so eh.
The Darkness
Mage can also get 3 with simulacrum and not holding any other minions in hand! Duplicate in wild to counter any non silence removals! ;^)

Now that I think about it… If it sticks then don’t forget that turning this into a 10/10 could be devastating for your opponent. You hit face for 10 and then you basicly have a tiny bit weaker tyrantus.
The Darkness
It being dormant isnt part of its battlecry so I dont think it will do much sadly but also very FORTUNATELY.
Shimmering Courser
a dragon faerie but beast, 4 mana, less value on stats but doesn’t fart on card buffs and on priest. Interesting! Dont think it will see much play but again its a beast and beast = zombeast!

Man these ratings… The fact that this card brings out 3 minions and its very specific (1 attack, 2 attack and 3 attack), with enough thougt put into it maybe some one could build an intresting deck out of this, one really valuable 3 attack minion is vicious fledgelinger, maybe this card + dragon hatcher? No? Atleast the fact that it works with dragon hatcher makes me happy!
Woecleaver
Not to mention warrior has alot of other weapons that could eat up the ooze for them… WEIT! Now that I think about it… WARRIOR HAS MOLTEN BLADE! Not only can warrior get this but they can also get all the other class legendary weapons!!

This card makes me really happy, I have always wanted to experiment with swap stats decks but aside from tavern brawls I havent really tried (aside from my marin the fox deck) because of how little swap effects there exists (only 4 cards that you sometimes just have to play straight away without using its effect to not lose value that turn) but this card might make me actually try making a deck based around swaping! Eggs and mana adicts! Here I come!!
Murmuring Elemental
This makes me happy not just because its an elemental but because its not limited ONLY to elementals! Now I wonder… What would happen if you played this card twice? Does the battlecry after that trigger 3 times or 4 times or maybe still just 2 times? Ofcourse the card says the next battle cry triggers TWICE so going from the card effect it should only trigger 2 times but do you guys think Blizzard play tested this and made sure that was the case themself? I SURE HOPE NOT!!

Oh that? Thats because I dont play what everyone else plays lol. Not because its wrong to do so but because I like experimenting trying different decks out. Its clear that you and me have different ways to look at cards and this comment thread has been dragging on for to long but let me atleast explain another reason as to why I don’t play highlander priest. It simply isnt a deck that has alot of big minions, it only has removals, razakus, dk and ways to refresh hero power. Same goes for most tier 1 or 2 decks. Aside from jade druid there isnt really much and jade druid isnt fun when you play the same minion over and over again easily and when your opponent is fearing it even before you play it.
Either way what im trying to say is this card is defenitely not going to be put in a tier 1 deck but I feel like it shouldn’t be overlooked either.

Ok I agree that this deck will struggle against all these decks you mentioned except for rougue, I think explosive trap and hunter dk is enough to deal with it. Still that isnt to strange since these decks you mention are all high tier decks and alot of other decks already struggle against these (mainly jade druid and highlander priest) and I don’t think priests dk is enough to counter this card. It could basicly become a 6/6 deathrattle: summon a highmane + a highmane that summons 2 2/2’s, using alone priest dk alone would leave who ever had this card with the 2/2’s and another highmane. Now lets say priest did kill this card some how before playing the priest dk, now you still got 4 2/2’s on the board so priest has to play MORE CARDS (value because this card basicly absorbs more then 1 card) to either remove it by these cards alone or by refreshing the hero power to machine gun each of these and thats 8 damage prevented from machine gun + 4 of your opponents priest cards played.
Now what I fail to see is mainly how this card is worse then litch king, the only thing that makes litch king better is the taunt wich absorbs aggro, this card can summon an 8/8 or 7/7 with charge or get yourself highmanes on the board wich is insane value and both this and litch king are slow cards.
Kathrena Winterwisp
dragonhatchling? do you mean a different card because no such card exists, never heard of a 9 mana 2/4, and ofcourse getting alone 2 savannah highmanes out on the board wouldnt be op (sadly), there are far more Op shit in ladder but if anything its a strong outcome
when I say strong spells I mean stuff like animal companion, explosive shot, hunter dk (not really a spell but its a board clear that also gives you a strong hero power but with the weakness of how slot it is), deadly shot, etc…
Deck of Wonders
what do you mean duh? where does it say mage only spells? im pretty sure only discover effects limit you to class spells, random has never done that
Dragoncaller Alanna
I know im naive but could this be a hint for future dragon mage? Right now this doesn’t give support or get support from any dragon related cards mage has access to (it summons the dragon on the board and not into the hand so its just as usefull in a dragon mage deck as it is in any other deck that runs an equal amount of spells) and if anything this is a dragon counter or just a counter in general for priest because of dragon potions popularity and priest almost holding monopoly on dragons untill now. But the fact that mage is still getting cards related to dragons even if they don’t have big synergys (like sindragosa and this and coldarra drake in wild) makes me wonder if they in the future will push dragon mage. (Maybe with on board effects rather then holding a dragon in hand effects like dragonfire potion)
No weit it’s just me being high and wanting dragons available for other classes again, don’t mind me haha!
This card worries me a bit, imagine this in a face baku hunter, 6 damage from 1 card on turn 7 or just a 3/4 to play on curve.
