Verry nice flavour in that card, slay the dragon get some coins....however unplayable in standard and another nerf to the dragon discover. Wont see play.
anyway, i don't think this card will see play unless you can somehow make use of giving your opponent coins. maybe interesting for some Lorewalker Cho shenanigans?

Not going to lie, as soon I wrote down the post, I immediately thought about King Mukla. Plus you can also mention, that the opponent will prepare for this and if this is the early game we are talking about, then we might even give more ways to our opponent to free his hand. So yeah, I'm going to take my words back.
I think it's worse than Hungry Dragon. 2 mana anytime they want is frightening. You play this on curve, the turn after they kill it and drop a better 7 drop and your tempo is meaningless.
I'm not sure how easily they'll be able to kill a 5/6 on turn 4-5
imagine playing against a quest mage with a Fireball in hand, or a Primordial Glyph that discovers one. now he's got 2 more activators for his quest, or an activator for his Archmage Antonidas
Fair enough, you don't want to play this against Quest Mage but there are other decks in the game besides Quest Mage. In fact, giving coins to a lot of decks right now is really bad, Raza Priest, Jade Druid ect.
I'm not saying this card is great. I'm just saying that a 5/6 is bigger than it seems. This card is probably only going to get played in Arena but in Arena it will be a very good pick.
Ticking Abomination is good when played in a empty board, this one is terrible to play in any case, too much spell sinergy to give free coins for the opponent.
This carf is very usefull on arena. Better than Banshee
In arena, Hungry Dragon had synergy with Mind Control Tech or at least if you could efficiently trade minions, this is only playable if opponent hand is almost empty (and even you risk opponent card draw). So I think it is below average.
In constructed, It might be playable in mill rogue deck.
The only one i really liked was Bomb Squad, the 5 mana clear was good if calculated right
With Bomb Squad you know what you are getting into. This card is a crapshoot no matter how you try to fit it in the build. In the aggro vs heavy control, there is a good chance you can mill the opponent as their hand fills up. Against aggro/combo, you either don't play it or you probably gave them the tools to finish you.
I miss read the text earlier... this is horrible as a battlecry but just a little bad as a deathrattle. With Silence and similar effects, this card will see testing but in the end Twilight Drake is a better card... playable?

Dust it. Nothing about screams unfair and there are enough dragons in standard to build a dragon deck.

Hoarding Dragon is one of my favourite magic cards of all time. Was hoping the effect would be similar.
5 mana 4/4
Battlecry: Discover a weapon in your deck. Remove it from your deck. Deathrattle: Put the weapon in your hand.
As for this card: I see it MAYBE in a tempo dragon deck. Could be fine if you stall the deathrattle long enough.
Its an ok card.
Dragon tag and better than Ticking Abomination and Pit Lord by a bit.
Deathrattle is pretty good though for you opponent so a bit meh.
Hungry Dragon is most likely better
Might see a little play, but a really strong card in arena.
Yeah not sure it sees play in Constructed outside of Mill decks but this is an insane arena card, absolutely top tier.
Meh...playable...at a cost...

I hate the high stats bad outcome cards
And i don’t even play Paladins
4 mana 5/5 is not viable enough to see play in construccted and this one has a huge downside for 1 extra stat. Crap.
meh

Evolve buff or Devolve nerf?
:thinking:
Great card in arena. Not playable in standart

Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.

I think in the current state of the game this deathrattle is way too dangerous.
Druids have been known to run Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Arcane Giant.
Hunters have Deathstalker Rexxar.
Mages have Open the Waygate and Archmage Antonidas.
Paladins have Uther of the Ebon Blade with Auctionmaster Beardo.
Priests have Lyra the Sunshard.
Rogues have Edwin VanCleef and also run Gadgetzan Auctioneer.
Shamans already have Overload.
Warlocks typically are slow players, this will allow them to not simply spend a turn using Siphon Soul.
And all the classes would be able to get to their powerful 10 drops sooner.
