Now we are getting +3/+3 to dragons only, with not that good stated minion? Playing this minion on 5 is tempo loss, how much advantage you need to have next turns to make up for it?
So far, there are no Palladin specific dragons, and only extra support for this archetype is Cathedral Gargoyle, card that never saw any serious play in constructed. As long as there is no massive buff for "dragon pally" archetype I'm not seeing this card at constructed.
EDIT:
Dragon Pally got Bronze Herald link to thread below:
Still not enough (so far!) to see play in my opinion. It is awkward: turn 3 Herald to get 2x 4/4, turn 5 play dragon speaker so you can play one 4 mana 7/7 on turn 6? I don't feel it.
EDIT 2:
Maybe we will get some strong legendary dragon for Palladin? Perhaps Mar 29 4 am eastern us/can time. ?
EDIT 3:
Look at me, I was right, new Palladin Dragon legendary has just been revealed Nozari
The card seems underwhelming. We'll have to see what dragons will be given to Paladin this year, though the effect as it is is pretty useless. Dragons usually have fat stats already, so giving them +3 +3 is a bit overkill (unless it's a taunt minion).
They are trying to push Dragon paladin yet again, but I doubt it will work. A control pala with all the heals/lifesteals and some dragons to do dmg might work, but then again - OTK/combo decks will be strong, so pala will have to go back to the aggro playstyle (as usual).

I like it. Now the only card that's really missing to make the archetype work is a dragon with rush. If this new extension can make me use Dragon Consort again in Wild, that would be cool.

what dragons ?? except alex not many dragons in the game that paladin can use even alex is unusable in paladin decks
Remember it's dragon year, it will maybe be good.
Another hand buff pally? Not really sold on this one.
It is strange Blizzard is still pushing hand buff archetype for palladin. They tried so many times and it usually failed badly. We had already Grimscale Chum, Smuggler's Run, Grimestreet Outfitter, Glowstone Technician and perhaps some more that I can't recall.

To slow. This is a 5 Mana do nothing. Has handbuff ever worked?
Good news, everyone, dragon paladin is finally getting some attention. Very soon we should see more dragons for this class.
As for the card itself - the flavour is nice, though paladin has to run A LOT of (good) dragons to make this work. It's really slow and situational.
right now! pretty bad
but overall strong potential.
Paladin has 0 class specific dragons in Standard right now....
Seems like blizzard keeps shuffling dragons between priest, warrior and paladin.
They should at least get 2 strong dragons for this to be considered, and even then handbuff has never been a strong archetype.
Meh at the very best.
Dragon Paladin incoming...

Ysera, Twilight Drake, Crowd Roaster, Bronze Herald, Dragonmaw Scorcher ...
We've been asking for dragon paladin synergy for years and you give it in the form of hand buffs what the fuck blizzard?
I'm not playing a 3 mana 3/2 and a 5 mana 3/5 in exchange for two 4 mana 7/7 in my hand on turn 6.
That's just terrible.
Paladin dragon legendary incoming

While handbuff paladin has not worked well in the past, +3/+3 to dragons might make it work. There are still a few neutral dragons.
If you are in your first year of playing please read this post.
Dust does not burn a hole in the jar. Be careful what you craft, especially before and right after a rotation.
Ok. Now I want to play Paladin.
I'm still missing a win condition for my dragon handbuff deck https://hearthstation.com/decks/301-dragon-buff

unless there will be a good taunt or rush or lifesteal dragon
this card will be garbage
Playable only cuz paladin, but it's borderline vg. More dragons are very possible
