Play the flame guy or Cthun if you intend to go dragon. Real important to find divine shield dragon, taunt it, and scale that dragon. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I have been able to win rather consistently with dragon build when playing as either of these two heroes. I guess it is because there are a number of quality dragons, like the fire breathing welp and the double attack dragon, you can take early on, and just start to scale from there onwards. I have won without the tier 6 dragon before, but nadina is pretty important. Anyway, don’t pick dragon unless you are playing as these two, at least that’s what my experience tells me.

So the strategy to win with dragons is to simply get a strong hero....lol.

No, the strategy to win with anything is to simply get a strong hero actually.
Yes, in a sense, because dragon build is simply not that viable when playing with other heroes. And when did Cthun and the candle dude become strong heroes? They are at most tier 2. You drunk? Lol

Having a good midgame with Dragons is almost impossible because the only strong ones at that point are Bronze Wardens and Drakonid Enforcers.
You cannot force Dragons (unless you're playing Ysera) but you can try to build them whenever you've had the opportunity to safely powerlevel to 5* and find at least one Kalecgos off a triple early, essentially skipping past the midgame.
From my experience over the last month, depending on your lobby, you have to skip the midgame entirely.
You need an endgame build (or the ingredients for one) by turn 9-10. If it doesn't work because you get crappy triple rewards (or no triples) or take too much damage, you get 6th place at best, but if you try to play more conservatively, you won't do better than 5th either.
Simply because there are a handful of heroes (Omu, Y'Shaarj, Elise, oftentimes Patches...) that can powerlevel while taking litte damage, or potentially inflicting a lot of it, you have to do the same somehow and hope you won't die. When half your lobby skips the midgame, you usually can't dwell on it. When you take 15+ damage from Ghastcoilers, Tide Razors etc. while you are still on 4, it's usually over.
A few heroes like Ragnaros can potentially afford to level a bit slower and build up something in the midgame with a lot of scaling. With Tess, you can sometimes get a perfect steal, allowing you to put more emphasis on the midgame. With Geoge you can stabilize better, if your board scales well. But generally, you can't stay on 3 or 4, and Dragons, as others have said already, don't have much power at that point either.
To do well with Dragons you pretty much need to race to 5 with a triple and get Kalecgos. And Nedina a bit later to seal the deal (though other builds sometimes outscale you).
Last time I got first place with Dragons, I was taking 20-something damage while freezing a triple from 2 all the way to 5 as Reno. I got Kelecgos, I turned it golden, and even though my dragons were actually pretty crappy (no Bronze Wardens), it was enough to stabilize and crush the rest. It sounds like a crazy highroll, but you need to get crazy highrolls these days anyway. Might as well go for it.

Hi everyone,
The title says it all, Dragons are OP but I almost always die before arriving T6 and building a strong board with Kalecgos.
Thanks by advance for your tips.
