Volcanic Drakes breathe lava instead of fire. The antacid vendor at Thorium Point does a brisk business with them.

This card is very underrated in Egg Druid. It's not difficult to get this down to 3 mana or less. Having it dodge Dragonfire Potion is also a bonus.
Auchenai Soulpriest + Circle of Healing + Volcanic Drake
Look like it's time to make an Auchenai Deck again.
It seems like he's mostly going to come out as a 4-drop, which means Piloted Shredder trades with it and still leaves a minion.
really wish he was a volcanic drake giant thing and an 8/8 with higher mana cost :(
This card is gonna fit just right on decks with the Grim Patron + Warsong Commander strat
HOW ME KILL MINIONS? SMOrc
It seems Brian Kibler spoke very highly of this. But it's not often to kill 3 or more minions friend or foe within 1 turn. You have to have many minions in your deck so that they can be on the board and trade, which rules out Priest Warrior and Druid. Playing it with 4 mana is typical. In that case it's better than 5/4, but still lost against Piloted Shredder.
Yet again mage will benefit the most from this card on arena *sigh*
How? If anything paladin will with muster for battle turn three then this and possibly a one drop turn 4.
Potential Unleash the Hounds trades into crowded board then plays one or two free Volcanic Drake? Nice...
in a typical post dr boom turn, you can discount arround 3 mana ... specially it they killed it with bgh (run 2 boom bots in bgh) its 3 less or more depending on what has been layed on the board.
You dont need very uncommon AOE scenarios ... some regular grinding may do as weel as a good discount ...
Flamestrike Dragon's Breath Dragon's Breath Volcanic Drake Volcanic Drake ???? Preposterous!
Edit: this against mech mage
Guys , it's actually a reasonable drop even for 5 mana. Considering the fact , that you are likely to trade ( even 1for1) you get insta value. Still , it's more like an arena card then constructed but only time will tell.
I think it's fine. In fact perhaps ridiculous. a 4 6/4 is above the curve and that's worst case. Best case you unleash turn 3 against the dude apocalypse and then you play double drake. Unrealistic but not that difficult to setup. 3 or 2 cost drake is amazing really. It also allows you to gain tempo post AoE which is amazing considering the drawback to AoE is that casting AoE like flamestrike is sometimes too slow and you lose too much tempo. Instead of losing tempo you can gain tempo post AoE which can lead to some pretty disgusting turns even if the body is not quite ideal
this the potential to be insane if some dragon token deck is possible.
Could see some play in warrior decks post brawl.
To be played only after Board Clear. Then its great tempo.
busted
Overpower as fak
Awsome! It seems like the blackrock conept ( beside dragons) is tokens and free minions.
This card is great combo with those tokens, as well as making them a double edged sword and a weakness to exploit by your opponent.
4 health is not op, but quick 6 attack is nice punishment, also, no bgh.
