some foundation for it is there. Scaleworm, firetree witchdoctor, crowd roaster are good neutrals. Kalecgos and some big spells on the top end. Zillax, some taunts and tech cards and that is like half a deck. but then you need another half of a deck.
The workings for this kind of deck are definitely there but it needs some support, mainly survivability and a win condition that isn't just being anti aggro and for it to be a legit strong deck it needs a duskbreaker like card, a class exclusive dragon that is super strong.
It depends. Dragon priest in the past became viable when they printed Drakonid operative (omg that card was broken). I dont think Kalecgos is enough. but who knows...maybe they print some good midrange dragon synergy minion.
As much as I’d love to see dragon mage, especially with elemental mage rotating. But dragon mage won’t be official without an actual mage card that says “if you’re holding a dragon” or “your dragons do this”. Until then, it’s the shame Dragon mage pipe dream as now. Just replace Kalecgos with Sindragosa
Like I said, dragon mage will only be a thing when they print a mage card that says “if you’re holding a dragon” that’s when each class actually ends up with dragon decks. Until then it’s just forcing one which can happen now with Sindragosa.

Sorry, realize that was a half completed thought. I meant with the drake rotating out I don’t think dragon mage is viable as even a tier 2 deck.
However with it being year of the dragon I think we can expect lots of dragon support in either the coming set or over the next year.

Kalecos would only be played in dragon mage if they print a powerful high cost spell that synergises with dragons
Why do think Kalec sucks ? It is certainly better than Ultrasaur, Tyrantus, Faceless Behemoth etc and is comparable to Kun, N'Zoth and Y'shaarj.
We have to see Mage's new SDM.
