My animosity for creatures that have
lesson discard is well known. Any spell that dimisses this guy will
effectively gain a three-for-one card advantage against you. This
is why I've rarely played with the one copy of Norbert I own. I'm
too afraid of my opponent streaming it on their turn, leaving me
to look stupid. This card is more similar to Norbert than anything
else, but is not nearly as contemptible. For one thing, Welsh Green
Dragon has a four health, instead of just three. This seems like
a minute difference, but it is actually quite significant, as there
are few spells commonly played that deal out that much damage. Additionally,
this dragon gets one "free" attack when he comes in to
play, so even if your opponent knocks him out right away, he still
gets to draw some blood. Use Steelclaws with this dude, and soon
you'll start to smile. Given that a two lesson discard is a serious
hindrance to development, Welshie only makes sense as an upper end
"enforcer". For example, my younger son's creature deck
topped out at 6 lessons needed for any one card. It contained one
copy of River Troll, which was an awkward fit. So I replaced it
with this to give the deck a stronger finishing blow. After my son
came in second in a tourney with it after this adjustment, I asked
him what he thought of the dragon in the deck. "OK", he
said. Now that's a quality endorsement, if I ever heard one!

I have been referring to breeds of
creatures all week and this is another new one. Initial damage with
reoccurring damage potential is this breeds claim to fame. And this
is the Big Daddy of these. Yea, you do have to discard 2 CoMC, but
you do get that back in damage regardless if it lasts beyond the
initial play or not. I will admit 6 damage and 4 health is respectful.
I must say this a tempting choice of the biggies, but I think you
will find some other alternatives instead.

The Welsh Green Dragon backs quite
the punch, 6 damage when it comes into play and it does 6 damage
a turn, and its 4 health makes it tough for a stream of flames to
take it out, but that 2 CMC discard is a killer. I don't know very
many times you want to build your self up to 7 power and then drop
backdown to 5. Now the 6 punch at the beginning makes it worth the
risk, but image your opponent playing an incarcifors and a lost
notes the next turn. Uh-oh, just when the game was going your way,
its suddenly not going your way. To me this card just seems like
a risk, why not build up to 8 power and play a Mountain Troll and
Hebridean Black Dragon, if you do that, I think you'll find the
results much more pleasing. Trust me on this one. Good Luck getting
it to work either way, but I think there are better options then
this card.

Definalty don't take too many of
these guys with out stoping by Hagrid's House. Sure, it's got the
first strike ability like Fang, but two lessons? Ow. And it doesn't
even do as much damage as HBD for just 1 lesson. HBD drops your
power level to 7 after you play it; this guy drops your power to
5 after you play it. You'll just spend more time on your next turns
building it back up so you can play another big creature.

Six points right off the top and he has a nice health. This is the
kind of card that your opponent worries about. And if you go with
Hagrid's House, the two lesson loss is not such a bad thing. I'd
prolly recommend a lot of early hitters in the 4-6 slots and then
Welsh Green as your heavy hitter at 7. This way, when you lose the
two lessons, it's not a big deal.
