Are we back in the 80s or do people actually still not understand the importance of tempo in 2016?
It seems so. Also a reason why i cut Kodo in my Paladin list is that he doesnt have enough targets to hit (almost nothing vs Dragon Warrior Druid Hunter Rouge and so on )
But this card is much more reliably and can kill some high value cards that you have to remove NOW, or you lose . Like Fendral ,Councilman, Violet Teacher,TwilightDrake, and so on. So yes, it is conditional but i can not imagine how this card isnt good.
Turn 6 Tempo? There's a reason Shamans stopped running Fire Elemental. I would be on board if it had Taunt, but it doesn't, and there's no guarantee that you can get any value out of it, like Sylvanas.
so you're paying one more mana for a kodo that you can target with that also has 1 more hp, that's ok i guess...
Kodo destroying a 2 attack or less minion at random , this destroys 3 or less attack that you target , if you think that 1 attack difference is not important that you dont even mention it , i have nothing to say.
Kodo is cheap and no situational, upsides and downsides aside the two cards are good.
And we need sources man, for all we know this might just be a Fan Creation...
It's a fair card and we all know that fair cards don't really make it into the meta, I think that this card will see an experimental phase in many classes any other than Priest, just because of them already having Shadow Word: Pain , either way IMO I don't think this will be a 2 of in any dragon deck, perhaps 1 would be fine in most dragon decks due to there already being better Dragon synergies already, take in account those we already have Blackwing Corruptor which is comparable to this card (they *technically* have the "same" effect when playing against certain matchups) but in some other really specific cases the Book Wyrm will be better.
Seems good for control dragon decks like dragon priest. Definitely comparable to Kodo, it's 1 more mana the removal is controllable and 1 more health and more importantly 3att is significant. Essentially shadow word pain rolled into a 3/6 bod. Stat distribution is exactly what priest is looking for.
Not sure it will be for tempo dragon decks like warrior.

Well, it's a tempo shadow word pain with better value because it's only 1 card. If the card is intended for priests I approve since they really like tempo swings and having to play 2 sw:p just so that you don't die to every aggro deck is really annoying. With this you can actually swing the board a bit and apply pressure.
Just wondering if dragon DRUID can now be a thing. Since this card would be wtf AWESOME if innervated out on turn 4.
It would be really nice if Druid got a dragon card for once. With mechs even though shaman and mage were the best, other classes got at least one mech minion. So you could always play a mech deck with your favorite class.
Stop thinking of it in terms of Dragon Priest. If it sees play in Dragon Priest, then Dragon Priest becomes more consistent, and it can use their powerful minions to control zoo. It's already good, move on.
DRAGON PALADIN HYYYYYPE! This card makes Dragon Paladin a very scary Midrange option against greedy control lists. Previously people were already running Kodo with Aldor/Humility, but with this you can run the same combo and activate your dragon cards. If we see a neutral low cost Dragon, I think Dragon Paladin could crack into the meta.
will mostly see play in control decks, maybe dragon n'zoth paladin, possibly in a reno deck. seems best in paladin just because it has some nice dragons and 3 ways to get minon below 3 attack. I think this will be very good in a few decks but it won't be a common thing to just stick in because it is so specific.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?

With brann on 9 is a mini boardclear.

Anyway won't "auto-include" but test it for sure.

I'm already playing Dragon Paladin in Ranked (Only ever got to rank 14 with it) and this seems like a great addition!
The Nexus comes to the Inn with my set of Heroes of the Storm Legendaries!
Dragon Paladin is not a good archetype.
Say "Wow" for RNG!
Oh, best new card yet to deal with aggro decks (at least, non dragon warrior ... yikes, they are going to be rough).
Been trying to get dragon priest to work, this card will help a ton.
Bear in mind, the final legendary of this adventure will be a dragon. That spectral dragon from the trailer, at the top of Karazhan tower.
As a final legendary, it is going to be a massive dragon effect. Just look at the track record from previous adventures for final legendary.
