With the release of Descent of Dragons, we saw the return of the original 5 "Dragon Aspects". Previously all featured in the Classic set, each Dragon was given another powerful card in the latest expansion.
Alexstrasza, Malygos, Deathwing, Nozdormu, and Ysera -- originally proto-dragons -- first combined their powers in an effort to defeat the "Father of Dragons", Galakrond. With the help of the titans, their quest to end Galakrond's evil ways was successful. Their show of power led to the titans naming the Dragons leaders of the Dragonflights, and primary protectors of Azeroth. They represented the red, blue, black, bronze, and green Dragonflights respectively.
Their time overseeing the well-being of Azeroth saw the death of 3 of the original Aspects. Malygos saw his demise after blaming mortal spellcasters for all of Azeroth's hardships. He was defeated by Alexstrazsa's red dragonflight and allies. Deathwing was killed in a combined effort from the Alliance, Horde, and other Dragon Aspects after being driven mad by the Old Gods. The final Aspect to see their death, Ysera, fell victim to the Nightmare. She was put to rest by Tyrande Whisperwind.
Quote from"The champions who fought at our side assured the survival of our world. But now, we must see it with mortal eyes. We Dragon Aspects have fulfilled our great purpose, and our ancient power is expended. But though our day draws to an end, life endures and new generations will be born. Today's victory belongs to all who stood against the shadow. You are Azeroth's true guardians and the future of this world is in your hands. For the dawning of the age of mortals has begun."
Alexstrasza
Dragonqueen Alexstrasza -- the "Life-Binder" -- is the leader of the red Dragonflight. She was empowered as the guardian of all life within Azeroth and deemed the "Queen of all Dragons". She led the crusade in the defeat of the maddened Deathwing, defeating him with her Dragonflight and her fellow Aspects.

shaman is deaded and DR rogue is meme
Beast Duel! Paladin - Created on the 4th of April 2019. This dude up-dated his deck by adding Noz to it and call it a day. Also, do not craft this deck, the meta destroys it.
Great article! Both the lore and the decks were a welcome read. Thanks!
I still remember that tournament where the guy summoned a whole gaggle of Malygooses.
We are getting 35 new cards this month
Next month.
Still no Scion - Barista combi in any Warrior deck. And still my enemies hovering over Barista for like 30 seconds and afterwards emoting ; well played.
And btw Vone Copies STATS too.
Drawing a 7/6 Scion and copying results in 2*3*7/6
Wow, you run Barista ánd Voone? That seems way too greedy in a meta defined by decks like Face Hunter and Galakrond Shaman. What rank do you play at?
quest druid? is that still a thing? :)
