    First this it comes to mind is cobra shot, but it also reminds me of quick shot, due to the cost, damage and conditional secondary effect. While cobra shot wasn't played, rapid shot was, and very often it didn't draw any cards, so this might be played, especially on decks like highlander that might play 2-3 dragons.

    Wouldn't say that the effect was so great to make the card worth if it wasn't for the nice stats that are attached to it. With a possible good turn one play and a late game ping, this card might be one of the best for hunter thus far.

    Finally I can play decent beast secret decks! together with subject-9, this was this missing piece for the deck. And we are still waiting on more reveals.

    I want to like it, but I can't. Too slow for what it does. aggro wants to be faster.

    However, I can say that it has a saving grace: Questing explorer. I can see a midrange aggressive deck that makes use of this quest and the card draw of Questing explorer as a possible good deck, if not now, after rotation. Time will tell.

    Almost called this card meh, until I got to mech tag. With mana discounts and magnetise as part of the mech package, the hability to do extra 5 damage seems incredible. Ziliax will love this one, as it can lead to 5 heal plus the 3+3 out of their attack.

    It will see play in highlander and mech decks, for sure.

    Solid card overall. But with druid not being an evil class with acess to the new lackey, and with the quest in the same rotation, I see no need to play this card or a dragon druid quest in general, for now. I believe that if a choose one dragon appears, or a really good early mana dragon for druid, we might se a quest dragon package.

    Arena wise, this is top tier. Value plus big taunt body.

    Going to be a little realistic towards this card, but hope I'm wrong, I like it.

    The thing is, this will only see play if dragons see play in druid. but currently, because of the quest, no other druid deck is being played at all. So either we get a choose one dragon, or this is just a zero damage shiv. And you can't count on having just malygos or alextraza as your dragon, you want to play this for mana crystals as soon and reliable as possible.

    For its cost, I don't believe it to have a good effect, especially on druid that by this point in the game has either a good board or an OTK strategy ready to deploy.
    However, this is the kind of card that other classes might want to pull from random effects, especial rogue, due to its miracle nature.

    Quote From Esparanta

    Although not 100% sure, my guess is: If you draw Reno first, followed by Dinomancer, Reno might be discarded. Reason is: Game registers the "firsts", similar to this scenario: You have Piloted Shredder and Piloted Sky Golem on-board. Shredder is played first, then Sky Golem, and wherever you put your minions is irrelevant in any matter. Mage played Flamestrike and your Mechs will start to pop-up: First Shredder, then Sky Golem. Unless an exclusive rule that I have never heard of states otherwise, discarding your lowest-highest card should work the way I have illustrated.

    Deathrattles do occurr in the order they were played if killed at the same time, but discard mechanics associated with lowest or highest cost dont consider when you draw the card, it choses at random.

    This question has already been awsered many times by famous streamers, pro players and websites like reddit.

    In case of tye in numerical values (higher cost minion), the chosen option will always be random. As long as you have both in hand, you have a 50/50 chance to discar either reno or dinomancer.

    hope this helps.

    Blizzard is finnaly giving important tools to make thief rouge viable. A removal that is easily enabeled for cheap, was probably the last piece the deck needed. now you have early game in the form of Blink Fox and the new pirate, wich can be drawn from your deck with raid party, together with the weapon, plus captain greenskin or the other weapon buffing pirate. Espionage then gives you easy to play cards a tess raps it up in the lat game.

    Loving it.
