Garbage, even for Arena.
Why do you want Spell Damage in a Dragon deck, or Dragons in your burn deck?

Feels…about 1 mana too high to be used.
Could be wrong, though. I just can’t see how right now
If this was Discover with the pre-nerf Class boost, it might have been a really really good card (high chance of getting itself or neo-Maly).

So 1 mana cheaper than Azure Drake and +1 additional spellpower, but instead of draw it’s discover a dragon and it has much weaker stats as a 2/3.
There’s already a 4 mana +2 spell damage minion that’s a 4/3 so is the upside of being a dragon and discovering another worth -2 attack? Maybe in some kind of slow value dragon mage that Kibler likes to play. Pretty decent when combined with stuff like Shooting Star.
Upon reflection, I expect there to be 2-3 Mage spells with a Dragon-in-hand clause in the set, which would make the Discover and Spell damage on this relevant.
2-3?
Thats a huge hope for 3. Theres only like what…10 cards or so per class?

This could be good, but it 4 mana is rough for those stats. Not sure yet.
The only question you gotta ask is, “what does my dragon threshold need to be?”
If you needed 15 to function, maybe this slides in.
If you only need 10…theres some very powerful dragons out there already. Starts to make less sense.
Used to be around 8 minimum for Dragon threshold. I ran a couple more 'cos RNGesus hates me 
This might fit into a BoS build that’s more minion-heavy with enough options to make up for it.
This might also be more useful in a Highlander Dragon deck for the extra value.

If dragon decks become a thing, and it looks like they are going to get a big push, then this will be good as it’s a dragon that’s guaranteed to find another dragon and I think mages have enough spells that make +2 spellpower useful.
I think we’re underestimating this card here. Spell Damage is quite valuable, and for a burn class like mage this comes to no exception. This is essentially a refuel of hand at worst for a dragon based deck. Easily can be utilized, already undercosted from effect. Potential sleeper card 4/5

It’s possible. The that much spell damage might make it a soft taunt, which is exactly what any value or spell-based Mage would want.

This card makes Evolved Kobold look like garbage.

Also could work in tempo mage. This dragon have the same health and cost than an cosmic anomaly (and it have been in a competitive deck). So this give a minion to use (better use a dragon than any good combo minion in your hand). Anyway, the unique reason to use cosmic anomaly is for combo, not for tempo :v
Really makes me miss the class bonus for discovery. 4x chance for Malygos or Kalecgos? Yes please!!

I agree with this.
It is tough to judge the overall potential of the card because the dragon pool looks to be getting a lot deeper…
That being said, the +2 spell power is a significant boost to spells like Arcane Explosion that were Cyclone generated. (really any cheap damage spell)
The discover effect could be really good as well, it’s got no prerequisite fwiw so it doesn’t need dragon support. It just needs a pool of dragons that are generally good enough that a 1 of 3 is at least playable. It should also offer some flexibility in the kinds of dragons you are selecting in some matchups you might want Ysera, in others twilight drake or faerie dragon might be better…

Won’t see play. Too high mana cost for the stats.
