This didn't really click for me until after I got a chance to play with the guy, but has anyone considered how great Dreamer of Dragons really is?

Dreamer of Dragons + Dragon Mage Awakening = drawing 7 cards second turn.

I think that's probably the most busted thing I've seen thus far, even moreso than the Cannon Crew.

Pretty much yeah. I use it to get 6 resources on the 2nd turn usually. Currently don't play DMA in my HE deck.

Yeah, I've been a huge fan of Dragon Mage Awakening for quite some time. It's a huge anti-Dark Elf card if they're running straight HP reduction stuff. Just awesome. Helped me a TON during the GenCon tournament and was probably the card that was the biggest surprise for my opponents. Kept key units alive during Runes of Spite and everything. Really cool card.

Soon as I saw Dreamer of Dragons I realized the nifty use in this regard.

And maybe give the HElf healing abilities some usefulness. Pump DoD with DMA up to max allowed, use Initiate of Saphery to heal, pump DoD again, use another IoS to heal, all during your Phase 0, giving you, what, 11 Power DoD?
