Sounds like someone isn't a fan of taking more than 30 damage in one turn...

I like Blackwing. Dragon's Breath seems pretty "whatever", it'd be a cool spell for a non-mage, but Mages have so many spells that are similar and not situational. It's a neutral though, so it'll be reasonably common in arena, and lead to disturbing turn 7s with Flamestrike as mentioned above.

Another dragon, standard 8/8, but the 2 card draw adds randomness/fun/potentially huge swing

Volcanic Drake looks like it's very possibly to be a 4 mana 6/6, which makes it elite. Great arena card.

Not digging the other one asm uch

Volcanic Drake seems good enough to be playable. Combos with Hellfire, Implosion, Muster for Battle and others.

Nefarion will be fun to get off of unstable portal.

So Volcanic is like, bestcase/realcase is you trade 2 minions and play a 6/4 4 mana card. ok, thats good. not great but good. a few cases you can scoot it in super early. maybe if you're like a mage you can ping+play it for 5

but really its not that good. blah

I think it's by far the most playable, might not be good enough but the others are not close to good enough for their slot, dragon synergies aside.

Nefarian looks sick esp in ramp druid/control warr

im excited to try nefarion, at least. def going to put him in 2 non-dragon decks: control warrior and control shaman. shaman can use the additional odd draws, warrior can stomach a full turn of that. feels like druid could potentially have a slow legend like that, plus the spells (like aoe) could be great to pull in.

Don't let me stop you, it is a fun card for sure. I just can't see it being better than Ysera for similar purposes.

but zaephyr, firstoff thats best case scenario. not always possible in constructed - def seems to be a stronger arena card with mroe minion combat. but secondoff.. a 6/4 4 mana is good, but it isnt THAT good. a yeti, the standard bearer of vanilla stats, is a 4/5 that doesnt see play. a 6/4 is basically equal to 4/5, altho obv pretty different stat distribution

my hunch is it'll get cut from dragon decks.

I think a 6/4 for 4 is worse than a 4/5, it has a much smaller chance to get an attack in, dies to death's bite, truesilver, swipe etc. But Drake seems like Egg in a way, sometimes it will suck or be mostly inconsequential but maybe that's offset enough by the times it's a huge tempo swing when you can play it for <4 mana.

9 mana Nefarion seems too expensive for what it does. Doubt it'll be played.

not being able to play the spells the turn you draw them (and the obv instant death to bgh) is a deal breaker. i think it would be worth playing around a 5 mana 4/4

It'll be super fun to pull 2 weapon buffing spells from rogue when you play a deck without a weapon.

well no kidding! it's "draw 2", and not from your deck. a 4 mana 2/4 draw 1 (gnomish) is played in constructed sometimes, it's fine. so a 5 mana 4/4 draw 2 (a better azure) would be insane.

they prob should've made it a 7 mana draw 1 8/8, rather than 9 mana for 2.

Yeah volcanic drake won't be played in constructed. I mean we already have that stupid Lost Tallstrider vanilla 5/4 for 4 mana that is never played. This is bad for the same reasons.
