I like this one, mainly because it is a a dragon, any dragon is good for dragon priest (and potentially dragon mage/paladin), if we got some more dragons maybe those can become a deck.
I can't help but feel people are dramatically exaggerating the power of this card.
The advantage of this card is that is a snowball card with 5 health, which means it's immune to most removal spells like Jade Lightning, swipe, frostball+ping, etc... A little bit like Lyra, the 5 health is a pretty big deal. Of course, it won't be as good as Lyra and it's probably too slow for constructed (this card won't be playable if Token decks are still tier 1). But dragon priest has seen a pretty good amount of play these past few weeks and they kinda lack of dragon cards and you probably won't auto include it in this deck, but you might think about it.
Plus, the card is pretty similar as Thunder Bluff Valiant which saw play in constructed. It buffs the attack by +3 instead of +2, and even if it doesn't buff multiple minions, at least, you don't have to pay an extra 2 mana to trigger the effect, it's free and it's not limited to totems.
People laughed at me when I said Meat Wagon would be a viable card. Look at me now! Get an explosive opener, maintain board control leading up to turn 4, drop Meat Wagon, you're opponent doesn't answer because they don't see it as a threat and just plays a 4 drop, suicide your minions into their 4 drop, probably killing it, and then drop down THIS GUY FOR A +3 ATTACK BONUS ON MEATWAGON.

Ah, but there is quite a difference. I'll try replacing it for several reasons. First, it doesn't require an activator (though it requires a minion on board which is not a problem). Second, it has an ongoing effect instead of one shot battlecry. Third, it doesn't die to dragonfire potion. Fourth, it has 1 point of health more. And i think it fits the playstyle more actually.
This could influence arena in a similiar way that Fledgling did. Only difference is this comes later in the game and needs a board advantage. So it's kinda like Fledgling but little bit more balanced.

Dont compare this with Thunder Bluff Valiant. Valiant allways was a wincondition card, you had to play it on established board and it gave potential to trade enemy minions when opponent didn't expected. Also valiant nearly allways was giving 6-8 attack per turn

Solid stats for a 5 drop, dragon tag, common rarity, only affects your minions and guarantees end of turn +3 attack...
It's a more playable mid-game Master Swordsmith in Arena.
solid arena 5 drop and arena card in general. Might see some play in dragon decks for constructed.
A little slow but I love this card, should work pretty fine in dragon priest.
Dragon Mage, here we go.
My magic will tear you apart!
Voted Meta Defining because holy shit this is good.
Dragon Priest is back on the menu, boys!

Would make a good addition to Dragon Priest in Wild which is a v. aggressive deck.
This card is actually great in aggro paladin and can be drawn by curator .

lol this card is really good, what do people want, lmao, this card will bring dragons back lol.
4 mana play 2 crap cards, 5 mana play this and profit. Oponent will use removal on both.

I'm here to kick ass and play cards, and I'm all out of ass.

Arena got some very serious mid-range threats this expansion. Jesus, this will dominate the arena meta along with Bonemare. Can't keep any shit alive.

For Standard Dragon Priest 1x of this could be a nice addition, on Wild Blackwing Corruptor still better, imho.
For what profit is it to a man, if he gains the world and loses his own soul?
