I've been thinking about a few ideas for a custom expansion, and this is one of my stand out cards. I wanted to post it and see what everyone thought.
The idea is for the card to be like Malchazzar, revealed at the start of the game so your opponent knows what to expect. For the rest of the game, your Dragon minions trigger any affect that would normally only affect Beasts.
What does that mean? It means Call Pet reduces the cost of a drawn Dragon. It means you can Beastmaster or Mark of Y'Sarrj on a Dragon. It means that your Kill Command can do 5 damage if you have a Dragon in play.
It does NOT mean that cards that add Beasts to your hand give you dragons. Nor would cards that only affect Dragons (like Blackwing Corruptor) work if you only have Beasts in your hand.
I have no idea if this is balanced but I liked the idea of building a deck around a unique synergy like this. For you lore nuts like me, Feranor is a Dragon Hunter, and is very briefly seen in one of the first WC3 missions asking for Arthas' help killing a black dragon.
that certainly opens up new deck options. dragon beast hunter seems cool but dragons are meant for a slower deck and hunter is typically aggro to midrange. And unfortunately most beast buffs come in hunter and druid but there are beast buffs in druid so dragon beast druid seems viable. Who knows, maybe The Curator will see more play.
Many people have wanted a control oriented Hunter deck, and giving them the option of Dragon synergies with their existing card pool is one way to do it. I made Feranor a neutral so Druid could have some fun too.

don't question it...

What if it worked both ways (dragons trigger beast effects, and beasts trigger dragon effects)? Or would that be to op?
JMAP94. The best way to love the artist is to love the art.
I like it
There is no reason for a hunter to play dragons.
