too much aggro on ladder to try new things if you arent legend, and deck testing in casual is pointless

You don't even need to test out Hungry Dragon to understand that the card is win-more oriented. Giving your opponent a free card, putting it into play for free and basically granting it charge unless you take of it on the turn you play this card is the best way to see this card.

Hungry Dragon is just a Chillwind Yeti with + 1 / + 1. Too huge drawback for a small benefit. I vastly prefer a Shredder, a Yeti or a Senjin. More consistent.

I stated before that I stated someone saying this. That was from him. He stated the truth in a good way.

Even though I agree to Blametruth on most things, even play some of his decks, I have to disagree on this one. Surely Hungry Dragon is bad in most decks but in for example rogue, where you can often just kill the one drop with your dagger and pressure is key in rogue. I also run it in my Paladin with 2 musters where the weapon and maybe one dude deals with the one drop. I dont think that this is the new shredder but its more like a twilight drake, where it is great in the right decks. Arena is also not the best place for testing out cards.

It's not like Twillight Drake. Twilight is great because he has insane stats when it comes into play. It has not drawback to play it (weak to silence, but that's not a drawback...). 

Hungry Dragon has ''win-more'' writtent all over the card. He can ''work'' in some deck under certain circumstances... but that's far from being a consistent card. If you have a dagger and he spawns a 2 health minion... can't deal with it only with the dagger. Same applies for muster... 

In my experience he is as consistent as Shredder, he often drops minions which have bad effect for you. I said he was like twilight drake in the sense that he needs a deck specifically tweaked around him, it is not a coincidence thatTwilight Drake is pretty much only used in hand- or demonlock. Also I think people underrate 5/6 stats and how well it trades with 5/5's and also kills belchers. Also can I ask you if you have played this card? I don't think that the Hungry Dragon is some god card but I feel it has some decent potential in the decks I have tested it. :)

It has some potential as a situational card. It's win-more one. If you have the tool to deal with the minion... it's a good card. But you were already ahead.

Don't quote whole quotes, it gets obnoxious.  

I'm amazed I don't see Hungry Dragon more. It pretty much forces your opponent to use removal on a 4-drop. It's not for every deck, of course. Shredder is generally better and much better in decks that want sticky minions. But when you want to safely drop bigger minions later, a turn 4 Hungry Dragon is excellent value.

it all starts with a new card nobody knows what to do with yet...

then it becomes a card some people think is great and better and others dont...

and then it just becomes a card people realize is not the best for everything although it's not the worst at anything...

so simple how netdecking and new cards is just another version of bird law and limes.

Hungry Dragon vs Piloted Shredder. 

Hungry Dragon is more threatening (5 attack), has better trade potential (6 health), is a dragon and has synergy with AoE cards and MCT. 

On the other hand, Piloted Shredder is more resistent against AoE and spell removal, is a mech and can always played on curve (if you play a Hungry Dragon against Face Hunter on turn 4, you're essentially giving him 1-3 more damage). 

I don't understand why OP thinks Hungry Dragon is always better than Shredder.

If you can't deal with the minion, it'll often kill the Hungry Dragon easily then you'll expect it to do so. 

OP is just seeing raw stats. If that was the only matters, everybody would play Fel Reaver. 

I run Piloted Sky Golems and i will be very happy if a hungry dragon spawns from the deathrattle.

Still feel that Piloted Shredder is superior as mech synergies are very much still in season. 

You do not want to play Hungry Dragon vs Face Hunter, that extra 1 drop could prove lethal a couple turns later in the game.

We'll only know how strong Hungry Dragon truly is when the full set has been released.
