Template:Skeletal Dragon strategy

From Hearthstone Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Skeletal Dragon provides Taunt on a decent 9-health body, and a free dragon in your hand each turn it remains in play. Its attack is somewhat low for a 7-mana minion, but it is protected from both  Shadow Word: Pain and  Shadow Word: Death in Priest mirrors.

If you can stick Skeletal Dragon for one turn, it's one of the best  Psyche Split targets Priest has available. Alternatively, you can cast both together on the same turn with reductions from  Fate Weaver or  Emperor Thaurissan. You can also use cheaper copying cards like  Vivid Nightmare or  Gift of Luminance, although this misses out on Skeletal Dragon's high health.

Be careful using Skeletal Dragon in a deck with lots of ways to generate cards, like a Galakrond deck or decks focused on  Sethekk Veilweaver. Dragons tend to be very expensive and often draw or generate more cards, which can clog up your hand. Without careful hand management, you may be forced to lose value or suffer overdraw.
