Gold version is most powerful card in game.
Whatever he's doing with his eyes is unnerving.
It will surely break your opponents will to fight.
Though I've had times where this little dude came out as a 2/1, It doesn't even come close to the turns I've had a 2/5 (With power-word shield+coin) On turn 1, The best part about this card is it gives a solid body+Tempo in a dragon deck, but just another card you can save for an activator for other cards later on, Dunno.. This guy brings a lot to the one drop for priest in my eyes.
Priest dragon deck with this I'm sure could be very powerful. 2/3 on turn 1 with no downside unlike Zombie Chow (unless you have an Auchenai Soulpriest out). Need a very dragon-heavy deck though.
Okay, so Zombie chow is this guy but a little different and better/worse at times. But that is besides the point. With this guy you can have the redundancy of running 4 1-mana 2/3's. All you need to do is play dragons. And there are already a couple of dragons that fit very well in priest, like the azure drake. There are plenty of reasonable dragons to consider this little guy in your deck.
One thing to keep in mind though: you need to heavily commit to dragons to consider this. If you open with the whelp in your hand, the odds of mulliganing into a dragon is slightly less than a third of the time if you are running 8 dragons and you are on the play.
No actually the probability is about 54% to get them (opening hand + mulligan) if you have 8 dragons in your deck.
the main use for this card is not playing it. instead,holding it or add the possibility of having a dragon in hand every draw
Such a cutiee.........i just wanna hug it
definitely going to try it out
Normally a CONSTRUCT priest deck never employs Azure Drake or Faerie Dragon, but Twilight Drake used to be popular if one didn't run Injured Blademaster. And the proper Dragons cost at least 4 each, all too big to maneuver.
For this little one, if you don't have another Dragon in hand, you can still just wait until you draw one, or keep it to activate the corruptor. Priest need the Dragon combo to thrive.
Another combo card for priests. And a meh one (I can't see Dragon Priests being a thing as for now)... poor priests.
Love it, priest have access to Power Word: shield they could potentially keep this alive into the later turns while it helps you with small minions and when they finally remove it it doesn't heal their hero.
And it's so cute too.
the card is a dragon itself so will it always be a 2/3 or does the text really mean that you need another dragon in your hand?
It's a battlecry, so if this is the only dragon in your hand, then play this minion, battlecry trigger and check if you have a dragon (this minion is already in the board), then you have a 2/1 dragon because no other dragon is in your hand, easy.
So a downside-less zombie chow that only works in dragon decks.
Interesting.
Zombie Chow is always better than this. Remember Auchenai?
no, the auchenai combo requires you to be at turn 4 minimum (not taking the coin into account) while this just requires something to be in your hand. auchenai combo is better in a more midrange priest whereas this is better in control vs early aggro
I always seem to get Ysera in my opening hand, so this is alright.
Add twilight and azure drakes to control priest, and put this guy to replace chows.
Only question is, do the dragon cards fit in control priest?
Anti-synergy with the other BRM Priest card though :(
Good, Priest needed a 1-drop, Priestess just has too many things that can kill her on turn 1 unless you coin her out with Power Word: Shield too. Although Priest was the one class Zombie Chow could really shine in if combined with Soul Priestess, so I'm not sure which I'd cut. I don't think I'd ever stop using Soul Priestess.
too bad Priest did not got a 2 Mana Minion, that was far more needed (like shielded Minibot for Paladin)
imagine a 2 Mana 2/2 (or even 2/3) with this Battlecry
so its not that good (as a lot people might thing)
you want this at the beginning of the game, but then its actually unlikely (against aggro) that you also keep other Dragons, because they probably cost 4+ Mana, so are you really play a 2/1? I dont think so. Rather have Cleric or Zombie
