You have to remember that almost every dragon's value lies in their Battlecry, so doesn't exactly belong in your typical dragon deck. What dragon doesn't need its Battlecry to be good? Chillmaw, but Chillmaw's deathrattle probably won't activate because you no longer have any dragons in your hand.
Ysera would be awesome though. Ysera and Deathwing. What else am I missing?
Actually any other Dragon with a big body (Chromaggus, Alexstrasza, Nefarian) would be really good to be put into play by Deathwing, Dragonlord even without their battlecry. On the other hand, a Dragon-themed deck is based on the Dragons' battlecries, so without them those cards (Twilight Drake, Twilight Guardian, Azure Drake) can be really "underwhelming". I'm not sure if this card fits any of the current decks, and don't know yet what deck to build around it...

I think a late game N'zoth the Corruptor Paladin deck will work, but probably not with a Deathwing, Dragonlord, because it makes it a little to heavy and delays N'zoth the Corruptor. I designed a deck with all those cards and it seems pretty good.
Silencing this card still leaves a 10 mana 12/12 on board. Only a board clear or a poly/hex would prevent that 12/12 from going face or clearing any minion and living. Would be interesting if a Paladin Aldor Peacekeeper's this card and it ends up a giant 1/12 minion...
Also silencing this means you saved your silence for all the other buffs/deathrattle cards (priest/paladin buffs, Tirion, Sylvanas, etc.)that were played before this...which is fine.
Not sure if the deathrattle would ever go off when you want it to though. A 12/12 is sometimes hard to kill, especially in arena.
whoever is naming cards should be fired from blizzard, card names duplicating and when there's no need to duplicate they add random sentence to it wtf ?
this card is BAD it's one SLOW card do you get the thing this is a deathrattle effect? and it costs you 10 mana with NO IMPACT ON THE BOARD?
if you play this card and you summon a big dragon you won anyway at turn 10 you use.
at turn 10 you are against THE OLD GODS if the meta is that slow you are competing against all those slow old gods which are arguebly a lot better late game cards.. I doubt this card will be something too special.. it has a good effect but.. too slow.
It looks a lot better then what it seems. Extremely slow playing card that needs to die so it's gonna take 3-4 turns to kill of not counting the turn it was played plus most dragons are only good because of the battlecry's. It's about on par with Varien Wrynn except has a better body.
I returned to this game much like how a recovering alcoholic can relapse.
Too slow probably, but very cool. I hope I get one in a pack as I most likely won't craft one.

Who cares if it doesn't trigger battlecries? Surprise Ysera, Nozdormu, Deathwing and whatever else is pretty insane

ALL YOUR DRAGON.
"Everyone! Get in here!"
Deathwing, Dragonlord into Ysera Nozdormu Malygos Deathwing and Alexstrasza
I know it's hard , but in Paladin: Brann + Dragon Consort = Deathwing turn 6
This card should be in every Dragon deck imo
so can someone explain to me how this card is even remotely balanced? a 12/12 for ten is already good then throw in that insane deathrattle.

hmm Dragon Druid? Innervate + Innervate + Coin! turn 5! pure gimmick but still fun.
28% meta defining? WHAT?
