Dragon paladin is coming again !

Well, that's one way to push Dragon Paladin when there are almost no Dragons in standard.

Very strong common. Possibly insane in arena.

Great value for a 3-mana minion. I'm curious about the mana cost of those 4/4 dragons, though. 

Bad ->
right now! -> Value but nothing more... no gamebreaking thing
but who knows the support

Seems pretty decent. I mean I can't imagine it'll see play unless Dragon Paladin is a thing but seems like a good supporting card in that context. Also seems like it should be strong in Arena, you're taking a slight hit on the stats but assuming the dragons are 4/4 for 4 then that's some pretty punchy resource-generation in a mode where that's really powerful. Particularly in a class like Paladin. 

Midrange is kind of dead nowadays. it's all about aggro, control and combo
kind see this 3-star card pushing a midrange Paladin into top-tiers. Would love to see it happen someday though

Misssing the old midrange pally of Blackrock mountain  :)

turn 3 play this, turn 4 a true silver or something, turn 5 the hand buff guy, turn 6 4 mana7/7's + a filler 2 cost card or hero power or maybe a 6/5 fairy dragon, turn 7 another 4 mana 7/7 with a 6/5 bronze dragon. to do all the process again.

They are finally trying to make dragon paladin a thing. In blackrock mountain we got a paladin dragon called Dragon Consort and even though it had a strong effect, paladin did not get any dragon support. Hopefully this time the devs gives dragon paladin the proper support for it to be a competitive deck.

This adds 4/4 dragons for 4 mana.

Play Dragon Speaker to give them +3/+3.

We get 4 mana 7 7 dragons.

 So basically a card must be broken to see play otherwise it is unplayable ?

Doesn't really synergize with the little gargoyle bro that came out with Witchwood.

1: play this
2: kill it of next turn
3: play twilight drake
4: ??
5: Profit

On a more serious note, "guaranteed" curve is very nice but the dragon synergie for paladin would have to be introduced a lot more for the archetype as a whole to be viable. Dragonspeaker is not enough for that. In a normal midrange pally: Maybe

synergy with dragon speaker

Cathedral Gargoyle can now be a powerful turn 2 play for paladins if they get enough dragon support. Dude if paladin gets more dragon support cards in this expansion then dragon paladin may actually become a thing. Can't wait to see what the other paladin cards have got to offer.

i ll really want to make now a meme dragon paladin in wild

 Standalone the card is bad
4 mana 4/4 is weak
jeah in constructed it's always the way -> the cards need to be broken standalone or broken synergies
But we dont know all the cards yet ^^

 Yeah, 4 mana 7/7, on turn 6 at best after you played low tempo cards on turn 3 and 5.

Basically glorified Boulderfist with dragon tag. Don't start to imagine this is as good as Flamewreathed Faceless.

 They can’t be played on t4 though.
