Almost definitely sending Faerie Dragon or any other dragon costing less than 4 to the cleaners. The punish from this card is unreal. Kill an opposing unit and developing massive tempo at the same time. The only way blizzard thinks this is fair is when your opponent whip this card out after you did the turn before.
Oh, and by the way if quest shaman plays this they will have a 12/12 rush staring at you potentially on turn 6 if you dare to play even a single dragon by then.
Its only balancing factor is the fact that your opponent has to first have a dragon out. Why would they want to do that in a Dragons of Descent expansion is beyond me.
I agree with you, the punish is unreal. I can see this one card being a reason for very limited use of dragon in next meta. I don't know how good the still-to-be-seen dragons would have to be to make it worth risking getting rushed by the 8/8 on turn 4.

A 4 mana card that has 8/8 and rush if your opponent controls a Dragon? Bonkers!. Also a powerful card in arena.
