At (9)+Highlander one expects to seriously stall the game.
This is more like a solid filler for Highlander Dragon decks, but nothing more.
For Wild purposes, where there is no room for the concept of "filler", this is probably optional at best. Comparable to stuff like Krul the Unshackled.
I am a bit disappointed. If at least the generated cards had rush or taunt...
Less impactful tho (and with a threshshold before synergy), and that's why it will be ok or maybe even good in Standard but off-meta (at best) in Wild.
I think we are forgetting that 2x can be run with no additional effort in a deck. No need for setup.
Surely, playing both in a sequence is still unlikely but look at this:
- turn-3: i play a Dread Raven
- at this point the opponent is forced to remove it (soft taunt), because of the risk of facing a 12/8 on next turn, turn-4.
Not to mention Dire Frenzy or similar efficient cloners. Or, as others said, the bare fact that a 3-3/4 Beast is still a nice play.
This card may not be OP, it might be just a Beast deck stuff, but this is by far NOT a meme.
It's like, if a card has OTK potential, then it is only valued in OTK terms, and the rest is overlooked...
This card has no direct downside, not even Tempo loss.
Midrange Dragon Warlock stuff.
It fits Even, but not good enough for Wild.
Art is nice but not legendary enough for a Dragon Aspect (Netherwing).
Strong and flavourful.
I can finally build Raven decks!
Niche tech for Kingsbane metas or similar.
It is a bad card whenever your opponent doesn't have any weapons.
Overall, i don't see people teching for Ooze nowadays, so nobody will include this either.
Well, this card could actually bring Reno Priest back on top tiers, with a Dragon Tempo/Midrange setup.
Nothing more than a good meme.
Or desperate last stand.
Good weapon, but slow for the pace of old PW.
This hints at a slower iteration of Pirate Warrior.
Which means moarr pirates.
Finally!
Shadow Bolt for comparison.
This gryphon is pretty good.
Not a powerhouse, but a solid inclusion, especially for Highlander.
Basically a removal on a stick, with strong upside (draw).
Compare with [Hearthstone Card (shadowbolt) Not Found]: only downside are taunt minions.
I think HS timeline is simply unattuned with lore.
More like a stack of everything that happened in WoW and from where they choose cards.
Malygos was mad since WoTLK, and at that time neither Khadgar nor Kalecgos were in dalaran. Deathwing himself was still hybernated (but already mad).
And Malygos, who also went nuts (replaced by Kalecgos as the new Aspect).

Too slow and too inconsistent for Wild.
They should have added at least a taunt keyword to her or the generated Dragons...
Another Flamewaker-style card.

We need to see Warrior Invokers.
But considering Galakrond, the Unbreakable Hero Power (+3atk on hero this turn), i expect the Invokers to be quite bad (bad statted bodies).
Otherwise Invoking itself would turn into a Tempo gain for Warrior, making the Galakrond archetype extremely powerful.
Not so strong for Curve, but very strong in later turns.
Nice art too.
Solid card, but unless a given deck includes particularly swingy Dragons, this card might not win its place in a list.
Let's not forget that Dragon decks tend to be quite tight.
A card that can be used both for Curve or Value purposes, with no Tempo loss in either case.
However, it will probably have to compete for a place in a deck, since Dragon packages require quite some room, to be consistent.
