As easy and quick as it is for Shaman to invoke, Dragon's Pack is extremely broken. Two 5/6 taunt minions on turn five is extremely difficult for most classes to remove. Even worse when they drop a second one on turn 6. I honestly believe the card would have been better as a single 2/3 with a +3/+3 after invoking twice. Maybe after invoking once as a vanilla 2/3 taunt for 5 is pretty anemic. Waiting to see how Blizz responds though.
It is not Dragonpack that is broken, but rather shamans ability to get easy Invoke-Buffs early that makes it broken. The solution would be to increase shamans ability that he can't abuse it....
They'Re really doubling down on the memes this expansion, aren't they?
This would have been fantastic if Even Rogue was still around...and it is still a pretty strong card in any class that uses low cost Pirates. Maybe we'll see a return of Raiding Party
In any case it's Cannon Barrage support and that makes me N U T
This card is interesting, but not good enough yet. For this restriction this card should have worked like Zephyr the Great to make it worth to build a deck around. This restriction is way harder than the highlander restriction.
Remind me on that old warrior weapon Bloodrazer from KFT, just without the Deathrattle. This weapon was stable in every warrior deck, so i guess this will see play, but only in Galakrond Decks at least.
This is just a cool card and it makes Rummaging Kobold look like trash. Its got a good tribe, it has a reasonable statline for its effect. This card isn't good in every class but its great in the classes its good in.
Not really, because both have different purposes. For example Jade shaman would rather use the Kobold for the Battlecry on Jade claw or Pally with Rallying Blade. But Classes with no battlecry weapon tend to use this card. They have different purposes.
"Now you will suffer for Theramore, Garrosh!" - Jaina (FreezeMage) laughs in the corner.
To be honest, it's a great card, but as my quote tells, i fear the overcome of Combodecks, because you have no longer the option to stop them with armor gain...
Looks pretty good, would be kind of scary if any aggressive dragon deck popped up for the class
Fairy dragon exists and we know that Mech hunter is good, so Amalgam is worth to be considered. Maybe a mix of dragons and mechs for an tempo/aggro hunter.
So you are paying 5-Mana for a 0/3 minion that grants you good value overall, when you hatch it... Best comparison is mechanical egg, obvious. But as other mentioned without the advantage to resurrect it from Undatakah or N'Zoth.
It sure looks slow, but I guess it is too early to tell how good it is, but I guess it will be better than most of you think. At the very least it will be a new toy for Quest paladin, who get another 5-drop that he can copy with his hero power.
Could it be MCTech BFF? Giving Opp 3 minions and stealing his strongest one in controll match ups, where people tend to play only 1 or 2 minions? XD Its not unusual that MCtech steals the best minion on the field...
This is a good comparison to Darkbomb. Without a dragon in hand it is weaker, but when you have one in hand, then it is more powerful. Definitely a strong card. Just depends on how much dragon warlock is a thing. But I guess it will be, because atm we have 4 dragons for warlock:
Or as Trump mentioned already, use the coins for the good ol' Auctioneer stuff, combined with Eddi. So it is really dangerous card, maybe the underdog of the expansion.

Not at all. The only card that demands a nerf is Faceless Corrupter, nothing else.
But Argent Commander has Charge while this dragon don't....

In the best case it is actually a counter to Cyclone Mage's Miracle turn.
perfect counter to the new Alextrasza. Your opponent gets tons of value? Anduin: "I want it too!"
The Light shall burn you!

This card is pretty good. :D
I demand to unerf [Hearthstone Card (Lifeleech) Not Found]! Is it possible, Mr. Blizzard?
I am in charge now!...oh wait... Yaharrr! Pirate warrior gets a draw weapon? I guess it's good, but in standard it's crap.

- Twilight Drake
- maybe Amalgam
and you have a solid Midrange deck.
This.
