    Interesting Highlander card. Seems strong for standard, but not so much for wild, since the bigger pool means theres a bigger chance for bad dragons.

    Still a very solid card, despite the rng, and an overall good support for highlander dragon decks.

    In arena feels fantastic, regardless of the outcome.

    I think Reno dragon priest might be a thing in wild, with the new discount guy to allow more bronken combos. This is a very nice value tool for that deck.

    In standard, she will be a staple in every deck that wants to wish for better cards.

    Excellent addition to highlander decks. 3 dragons for 9 mana it's great. If the dragons are good then it's bonkers.

    With all of the new and big dragons printed this set, I think this is one of the best cards so far in DoD.

    If it can generate copies of itself as well it would be even better.

    An amazing highlander support as long as the dragon pool stays relatively strong—however, there will be situations where you get unplayable dragons or too weak ones. In wild, it's on the more expensive side of the highlander decks and the randomness of the card make it hard to compete with other solid single cards in wild. In arena, unless you get this early, you can't really build around it; otherwise, it becomes a late game bomb

    Can this generate copies of itself? Infinite value!

      If she can, I can't wait to see the Trolden video of someone playing her multiple times in a row

    Such a highroll card again... But this is what this game is mostly about. I like Reno decks, so I'm not gonna complain but I know I'm going to be very sad when I'll get two Faerie Dragon

      when you get 2 fearie dragon it still a 14/12 the worse case is 2 classic deathwings

        For sure, two deathwings seems worse.

        I doubt  14/12 in stats will be enough unless your opponent board is empty with all the powercreep incoming. Of course you'll have some nice turnarounds sometimes, but still...

        Don't get me wrong, it's my type of card and probably a day one craft for me. It reminds me of Master Oakheart and I used to love the shenanigans I could make with it.

    Strong tempo play at 9, but with unpredictable results. This can be from devastatingly good (stuff like malygos) to unplayable (deathwing) but for the most part it will likely be a dragon smaller than 8/8. A comparable card would be Dragoncaller Alanna in big spell mage which saw play but was at the fringes of payable.

    Still, for its effect on one card, it will likely be in all highlander decks.

    I'm surprised to see more highlander support so soon. 

    it's a big minion for late game that doesn't do much besides draw more BIG minions hopefully at 0 mana. 

    Given the size of the dragons in this set it's pretty easy to see Alexstrasza drawing an answer or an alt win condition

    This is better than Varian since you get the battlecry and can hold off on actually playing them if you want. Solid card for sure.
