Good in a minion-heavy meta. Most people tend to be cautious in what they play thanks to Mind Control Tech, but a couple creatures on your board, a couple on your opponents, kill off even two of them (trade 1 for 1) and you have a 4-mana 6/4, which is nothing to cry too hard about.
I think Paladin could have the best use with Muster for Battle giving them a lot of dragon fodder, but I could see a potentially useful combo with hunters and Unleashing the Hound-dragon.
Anything with deathrattle that creates tokens could be handy, too. I think this one will see real play, at least on the ladder if not in tournaments
Nice replacement with Dragon's Breath i would say. This card is, compared to Dragon's Breath actually useable. Sadly this will only buff more face hunter. Doggies out and the dragon costs 0.
I really like this card. He is likely unplayable until turn five anyway, but will be a threat that can be played on the same turn as removal. 5/5 would have been much better but I think this card will find a home.
If you kill 2 minions (1 trade) this card is ok (a bit better than vanilla) if any more die this card is great.
I think this mechanic in general is great for paladins that always have a lot of tokens, I think I start to see a paladin dragon deck forming in my head :D

Seems great in arena and all around in constructed. It's great against Sludge Belcher (instant 4 mana 6/4. That's value) but 4 health is a really tough spot.
This is maybe the BRM-Card with the most potential: everything that can cheat mana is strong, and this really can cheat mana heavily. I personally want to try him even in my priest-deck.
Twisting Nether is too weak, even with this. But heck, hellfire can kill enough to be useful; every kind of AoE is it. Might be nice with Priest+Wild Pyromancer+whatever spell, kill 3-4 weak minions, then put volcanic drake on board.
Maybe this card is at least at Dr. Boom-Level. even killing 3 minions (Dark Cultist into Piloted Shredder, then killing whatever comes out) makes this a 3 mana 6/4, that is insane.
As a vanilla 6/4, this would probably see very little to no play as a 4-mana drop; 4 vs. 5 health is a pretty critical break point and Shredder's stickiness generally allows it to do the 6 points of damage Volcanic Drake represents anyway. That being said, with Dragon synergy and the fact that you'll sometimes get to play this for 0-2 mana, it'll probably be reasonable in the right decks.
Discuss!
How fast can this hit the board? I like it very much!
Signature !!!!

Flamestrike or Brawl

let me change your mind...
Playable for control classes with aoe. A one of card, and should only be played after a board wipe.
The "downside" is the 4 health.

This one is nice. Might be good in Paladin with his many Tokens..
Who can take your trash out?
Stomp it down for you?
Shake the plastic bag
and do the twisty thingy, too?
I can see twisting nether get some play now. Interesting card.
will be alle to play flamestrike and one of these ( or two) in the same turn most times. Pretty good.
This will be crazy in a midrange hunter. UTH on a 3 minion board will usually end up with this minion costing 2 mana.
And "trade a minion, kill a minion" is a pretty common scenario. Shouldn't be too hard to get this down to 3 mana for most classes.
this is a very strong card.

In Arena even a must-pick.
oh great, hunter needed yet another sick synergy with UTH

4 health for 3 mana is just fine - which will probably be the target threshold to play this card.
Sure it is great . but it only got 4 health , Shrederr greats you .

Great with AOE, like Brawl or Equality + Consecration.
Without AOE though, it's only slightly better than Lost Tallstrider after two minions die.
Put your faith in the light!
