You are completely right. I used to run two of it in the Alpha version of Spark's Pyromaniac Secrets (now I run a hybrid version with only one) and used to deal 9 or more damage if I protect it with taunt or play double of it. Exceedingly fabulous.

Faerie Dragon is just so strong. Quite frankly I wish they would add more cards like it, they are perfectly balanced. Just at the moment game is too young to be thinking about adding a substantial amount of cards. Naxxramas is actually a "Mini-Expansion" only adding 30 Cards. Maybe in the future they will add an actual one with effects like that of  Faerie Dragon.

I agree fully.  I 100% wish Laughing Sister were a collectible minion.  Just one more Fairie Dragon style minion in the game would shake the meta up in all the right ways.

Another question (since I have Faerie Dragon but have not yet played it)...does it get hit by the big AoE removal spells like Flamestrike? Something is making me think that it does, but it shouldn't

It does get hit by normal AoE. Reason is quite simple: AoE spells don't need to target minions.

Ah, the keyword is "target"...nice catch. It's amazing how much the wording of the cards comes into play like this. If it said "Can't be damaged by..." then it would be a different story, I'd think.

I hadn't actually thought about that but its a great point. Both deathrattle and spell immunity seemed surprisingly under represented (to me) in the base release. And there has been a lot of talk from devs about how Nax will definitely shift the meta. I wouldn't be surprised if we see 2 creatures with spell immunity.

definitly going with 2x fearie dragons is a must in current meta, good advice mate

Something else that works against Mages and Rogues:  place the Faerie Dragon between minions.  That way, Cone of Cold and Betrayal won't work as effectively.

I took 2x Faerie Dragon for a spin in my zoo deck over the weekend and have been very pleased. They almost always get to deliver at least 2-3 plays of face damage before my opponent gets something on the board to deal with them. Get them sitting behind a taunt or on the board with a Knife Juggler (which is always #1 priority for removal after all taunts) and they get very dangerous very fast. Great tip here.

Whoops sorry, thought this was in the general threads. 

No worries :)
