Oh, so you just mentioned 3 different 4 mana 3/6 to compare with this 3 mana 3/6 as if they were the same. Hostility wasn't my intention, I failed to make the connection between Water and Frost.
I also would like to apologize. So many people seem to take the "My opinion is the only one that matters and everyone else is an idiot" that it's kind of hard to not get defensive when someone calls you out on something (like linking the wrong elemental).
I feel like it'll be good in Arena if you can turn it on easily as an undercosted body, but in Constructed it just doesn't do anything unfair enough to see play.
You're almost guaranteed to get an excellent minion if you played an elemental last turn, and this being a neutral there's a good chance he'll find one or more good 2 drop elementals in some of the elemental decks. I think Blackwing Technician is a good comparison for many reasons.
1. They're both 3 drops, so they perform the same role.
2. She doesn't see play in every Dragon Priest deck, but it's still not unexpected when you see her.
3. She has a a condition that should be about as easy to fulfill as this card's.
4. If the condition isn't fulfilled, she has 1 less stat than vanilla (which is currently considered to be 3/4).
5. She doesn't have the Dragon tag yet she has Dragon synergy, which is enough (just like this card).
So unless I'm misjudging the value of Blackwing Technician, one would expect this card with so many similarities to behave in much the same way.
Sorry for the mini essay, I just started stating reasons why the cards so similar and the reasons just kept coming up.
Also I believe you're fixated on the 3 mana 3/6 one. That's not the only positive outcome, nor is it the greatest.
In order from greatest to worst (in my opinion):
Deathrattle: Summon two 1/1 Plants
Divine Shield
3 mana 3/6
3 mana 4/4
Stealth
Poisonous (Much better if played in the late game)
Spell Immunity
3 mana 6/3
Taunt
Windfury
In 5/10 cases it's an unfair minion, objectively better than any other 3 drop in the game. In the other 5, it's still above average.
This isn't too bad. It is an option for Hunter since with the new quest the Glacial Shard and Fire Fly are both elementals that are ideal as activators. That said it is a bit awkward so I could be wrong, but I think it could be decent at least.
Rogues could potentially want to put these same two cards when if they go their quest route since they themselves look like good candidates in either helping complete the quest and/or after the quest is complete since they become good 1 mana 5/5s. Therefore this minion might be a candidate in those decks to compliment with them.
not sure how this is good but ok
