Throwing more whelps at the problem might not help, but they certainly will hurt.

Where is this sudden dragon synergy supposed to be coming from? This set seems like it was released out of order.

Also for those wondering about the dragon pool:

I think Priest, Warrior, Druid and maybe Paladin have some potential for dragon-based decks. Alex has consistently been a good finisher, Ysera is also a pretty good finisher in midrange. Warrior could run some mengarie stuff. Druid could run a ramp Dragon Druid. I don't see this in Warlock. MAYBE mid-range Mage? If they get another dragon card. Coldarra Drake isn't awful with a lot of the hero power support out there now. Control Dragon Shaman?
This is pretty good as an addition to Katrana Prestor's dragon pool too.
Onix Magescribe and Crimson Hothead have always been decent cards, but never really had a reason to see much play. They fit into Druid and Priest extremely well.
its just good-enough, if a minion-centric dragon tribal build shows up this will be there because of the shallow pool.
Pretty amazing card in all honesty. 4 mana statline with "deal 2 damage twice to minions". Can really help midrange dragon decks retake the board.
