Seems pretty cool! Not sure if it would be that good though, can be silenced, or it will be destroyed in one turn leaving you with a weak 2/1. I think it´s too slow and weak, but maybe if you get it in the starter hand it can be good.
My first thought was "oh that's great for Zoo" but... it's not really since I would need to put buff on it and it's hardly reasonable to expect more then one minion of this and at that point i can just play a 2/1 to begin with.
Second thought was Wild Pyro combo but... yeah that works once and than the whelps get burned. So... tempo priest maybe?
Best combo with this is definitely Cruel Taskmaster to spawn a dragon and use the egg to (hopefully) trade with your opponent, giving you another drake and max value of the card. I like it! It's Nerubian Egg with a twist and a mana cheaper!
If it would be a 0/3 and the whelps would be 1/2 I would play it in zoo but you'll hardly find any 1 damage targets out there on T1/T2 beside Void Walker. In addition those whelps are swipe bait and get pinged of with pretty much every hero power. Making it a 0/3 would at least give a fair chance of it getting 2 whelps.
At the moment I see something like:
T1 Egg
T2 Elven Archer + Abusive
That gives you three 2/1 and one 1/1 which is okay I guess but that only pays of it the enemy plays a 2 health minion or otherwise the trade doesn't happen.
The spawn of nerubian egg is just soooo much stronger and doesn't just die to AoE so it's hardly comparable. I could see it being a thing in priest.
DISCUSS!
If this survives double damage, 4/2 value for 1 mana, some space for combos.
Dragon-Zoo deck?

Put your faith in the Whale.
in mage deck :D

With mage HP - could nearly guarantee 2 pops (or draw out a silence).
Yeah, its kinda turn 1 and ping turn 2, but that is so weak and slow, I dunno.
Maybe itll see some play in zoo but I doubt it
Not as impressive as Nerubian egg. But it has synergy with self damage effects. So something else to run in Grim Patron deck.

the rebirth of agro face warrior
Will work great in a Zoo deck, same as Nerubian Egg.
Actually that card could be good in a priest deck. Though seems very combo reliant unlike Nerubian Egg that can be anti-aoe card.
Those Elven Archers are going to fall in love. Still, 2/1 are just too weak.
Certainly nowhere near as threatening as a Nerubian Egg
I think it's meh. Nice synergy with a few cards, but, a little conditional there. Outside of a mage deck not sure I'd use it.
Galavant Animation
This is a completely different mechanic than Nerubian Egg, and its worse anyway
it´s becoming more obvious at each card revealed that agro warrior is coming, indeed =)

More toys for warriors. I don't know if BRM will actually make the aggro warrior a thing, but if it doesn't it won't be for lack of trying.
