I'm just going to say Primordial Drake. This card could make a Control Mage with a Dragon Package viable. Think about it, Mages have Ice Block. You can definitely play Alexstrasza and even if not this card is a win condition on its own.
I said 'Wild only?' because I meant dragon mage, there aren't that many good dragons in Standard (just my opinion, maybe I'm totally far away from truth and dragon mage will be tier 1 or 2 deck).
Primordial Drake has been enough to carry Dragon Priest alongside the classic dragons. Once upon a time, dragon mage was a real deck, so it's entirely possible that this can help that exist.
However, I wouldn't say that for sure. At the risk of undervaluing this card, I don't know how impactful 2 legendaries really are at turn 8. That's when Mage wants to set up lethal, not play random legendaries. It's not Dr. Boom, that's for sure.
Edit: I suppose it could replace Medivh, the Guardian. Especially to avoid getting Oozed. That being said, Medivh gives value while still allowing you to further your gameplan, and it doesn't require that you play the minions you get, so I think it still is a better card in most cases.
Well I don't know Standard meta much but that's just my thought, it'd be interesting deck though.
We need to design a deck with Malygos in it ! For the people who don't know the lore, Sindragosa was the first consort of Malygos and died during the war of the ancients.
I feel like a lot of the time a random legendary is worse than a random spell and you don't even get the Legendaries immediately so if you compare it to something like Nefarian, this card looks really bad.
In a vacuum, I think Medivh is stronger. Medivh is not only a value card but also a tempo card. With Sindragosa you not only have to ping the 0/1's but you also have to play the legendaries from hand. Plus the average outcome of the 3 minions you get from Medivh vs. the 2 legandaries you get from Sidragosa is probably better. There's a lot of crappy legendaries.
@ShruteBucks Actually not really, the frozen champions she summons are part of her battlecry, so if you summon Sindragosa via any of those methods, all you'll get is a vanilla 8/8. Nothing wrong with that, but i wouldn't call it a buff to those cards.
Guys seriously this is just a meh card 8 mana slot is for Medivh
That's actually a great point, it seems this whole thread has forgotten about the new deck building rules that will be rolled out soon, where you can only have one card for each mana cost above 5 in your deck.
Also how fucking dumb are you guys? 8 mana 7/7 is STRICTLY AND UNDENIABLY BETTER than 8 mana 8/8.
That actually makes a lot of sense, I was hyped at first but I think you're right... two Legendaries would only be better in a really slow match up (most of the time).
Control decks played Sneed way back in the day, so why wouldn't they play this? I think this card is amazing. Slow, yes, but mage has a thousand ways to stall games out that long.

In some decks in the current meta, yes. After a complete new expansion, changing meta and new tools? Sometimes, yes. This is a decent and logical alternative in some decks.
No you don't understand it is not about current meta or next meta it is an 8 drop that summons two 0/1 minion in order to get legendary from those cards you will mostly ping the 0/1 at next turn to get a random shitty legendary just look at the legendary pool there is to many useless legendary so basically you will just play a 8/8 minion at turn 8 that does nothing but add two shitty cards to your hand.
Interesting card. Has very good synergy with Netherspite and Nzoth (as well as possible future deathrattle cards.) Normally I would say it is too slow but control mage has proven it can beat the aggro decks. Will it switch from burn to attrition, IDK

It's hard to imagine not picking this over any other card in the arena draft given that you could end up with the other 2 cards anyways.
if you compare this to onyxia, onyxia is 1 mana more one, plus when these minions die you get more legends. so i believe this is better then onyxia.

I've voted "playable" for this card... Not sure, but it might be too slow!

Finally some Ticking Abomination synergies!

I thought medivh was too slow. I think the same here, probably wrong on both for the same reasons.

Also i can't wait to see the summon animation
