Ysera rules the Emerald Dream. Which is some kind of green-mirror-version of the real world, or something?

Well, it IS Classic, so... It's definitely never getting cycled out.
lul
well not thalnos and ysera, but rag and sylvanas are going into the hall of fame.
So OP
I'm so pleased have to pulled a golden Ysera out of a pack. She only won one game for me so far since she usually gets removed after 1 - 2 turns. But she's such good fun to play with, I'm never dusting this card!
Does anyone here knows what is the ysera's sound entrance (is is a sound or a full song from wow soundtrack)?
Is it form W.O.W. or they created just for her?
Please, it's stuck in my head.
I was thinking about crafting a golden legendary and have been seriously considering crafting her.
Is she still good in control?
She will always be good in Control
I use Ysera in pretty much all of my decks, there has been few times where playing her was incorrect, and that was just my own fault for not looking at my cards. I managed to rip a Golden Ysera out of a pack and couldn't be happier.
So beautiful and so sad. :(
R.I.P. Ysera :(
"i need 100 more dusts to craft ysera, this free pack from brawl better give me some random epic so i can DE it for extra dust"
well
That card is still pretty strong and it is great counter against Golden Monkey
First legendary I crafted. She is winning lots of games for me right now that's for sure.
Same. She is a beast/dragon in tavern brawl
1 month later and she has improved my rank from 15 to 13.
Increased mine from 19 to 12 with a resurect priest and a reno hunter.
Greetings. Im in mood for another informative legendary review, and now it's time to observe Ysera. I've crafted her lately and now can fully describe it from user's hands.
First of all, her stats are amazing. 4/12 body would take a lot of damage spells or medium minions' hits to get rid of . It dodges both Shadow Word: Death and Shadow Word: Pain. Unfortunately, nowadays most decks run a lot of removals such as Entomb, Polymorph, Hex, Equality, so leaving Ysera live longer than 1-2 turns is your little victory in that. If she manages to do so - you've got huge tempo advantage. The longer she stays, the more dangerous situation becomes for you opponent. You can get situational cards that can turn the game into your favour if nessessary ones come in time.
Now, let's revise her Dream Cards. I've done it already, so i´m just quoting:
So her cards are really mana-worthy and powerful, compared to analogues. You basically draw 2 cards, 1 of which is superior and doesnt fatigue you out. That's one of reasons why she is really good in late game shenanigans. When you are running out of minions to play, she saves you(not always, tho. Enjoy 3x Dreams. One is good, but not at three).
Another good thing is that she is a Dragon, so if you use her in Dragon Decks, she won't be a completely dead card in hand because of Synergy activation. Another aspect that i notcied lately is that she has a chance to give you a dragon back for further synergy activations, if there remained any. Her Dream can allow you to use, for example, Blackwing Corruptor several times.
So, the right time to play Ysera is when your opponent is running out of stream, in situations like that:
Your opponent is on 1 card which is most likely not to be a removal, bacause he's already spent it earlier.
Your opponent has a lot of cards, but your previous high-threat wasnt answered.
(That was a test run for my heavy decks).
People say that she is too slow, and i agree. She is a redundancy card, not a "win me the game right now". She's an option to keep fighting when anything else is gone. Treat her like that. Also, Ysera sometimes gets handy in Taver Brawls, what is another advanatage.
As meta slows down in WOG expansion, she may actually be not so slow, because you get answers from her to unpleasant enemy minions, and keep in mind her insane Deathwing, Dragonlord synergy. Ysera is one of those dragons which has no battlecry and you would be happy if she comes into play earlier (Dragon Consort, Innervate) or by other means rather than playing her manually. Hello, Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound and Varian Wrynn!
But, to be honest, for long time I've been substitutting Ysera with other cards like Alexstrasza, Arch-Thief Rafaam, even Nefarian. These cards are different, but they give you lategame advantage as well. By the way, Rafaam is a great replacement for this card, and can trade perfectly into Ysera being self-buffed. If you have him, you may consider crafting other legendaries instead.
To sum up, I would give Ysera 4th place of "must-to-have" neutral legendaries out of Expert set. She may be a staple in lots of control and dragon decks, so if you consider playing them, think about getting the Emerald Queen.
UPDATE: Try to live to the moment you played and it she attacked. Will never see it once. Aggro and zoo decks ill just laught at your dragon. Unless you taunt her.
