It will not. It's only counting spells you are casting from hand.
Unless the scroll was played from your hand (like if you got a copy from Mind Vision/Thoughtsteal etc.) the answer is no. Though casting Deck of Wonders itself from your hand will count. It can be a frustrating misnomer (for new players anyway) that cards like this say "cast" when they really mean "played" like the difference between "playing" a minion and "summoning" a minion.
Alright then, thank you ^^
ohh baby this looks like un-competitive fun
Seems like the definition of "meh" to me. On another note, we get the first Groot reveal tomorrow so that's neat!
On one hand, she fills your board with big beefy dragons.
On the other, none of those dragons have taunt.
Kinda seems like a Win-More card, tbh.

Do you come up with these yourself? Or is it the flavor text?
This is just me making stuff up. I think I've come pretty close before on some of them though!
It should totally be the flavor text lol
If only they were elementals..
... they would die to Dragonfire Potion.
Against priest, which just got a new amazing board clear. I'd rather have a ton of potential heal against 8 other classes
They won't be played anyway because priest (big and machine gun) will be so powerfull that it will be scary to play anything un-meta.
And also jade druid. Also against aggro like rogue if you played jaina already (cause you're talking about elementals with lifesteal) you're already in a good shape. So against aggro it's not so essesial because you very often win by playing jaina and when you losing you have to clear last remaning units on your opponent's board to just survive a little bit longer up to topdeck mode (of your opponent).
About pressuring priest they usually won't save psychic scream (is that how it's called? I still don't remember), if you pressure them with elementals (with 6 HP, water elementals and blazecallers which might also be run, which dragonfire doesn't clear and dragonfire + 2 mana healing for 1 AOE is not very common case), they will just use it. And than bunch of dragons is perfect against priest in case of dragonfire (when they already used psychic and there is only dragonfirepotion left, they won't be able to clear expect Kazakus and of course Raza but you really can't play around Raza playing this card. You have to just cross fingers they don't have it).
But just to be honest, i totally see your point. It would be great in some cases if these were elementals in particular cases. But usually as I said, when you play jaina, you just have to face the topdeck mode of your opponent with spells and you win. No time to play 9 mana without taunt. However your water elementals have freeze effect so in theory there is possibility to freeze remaining units and play that shit. However if you really look for like ultimate heal, just play Baron Gedon. It clears, heals and leave you 3 mana open space to frostbolt something bigger. I think it's just perfect Reno Jackson.
In the end after psychic scream reveal I have a strong feeling that priest will be tier 1. Great dragon priest, great big priest with new recruit (oh no, please no :( ) and superstrong machine gun. So your minions better be dragons next expension! :)
Btw - damn, if those dragon were shuffled into your deck (by psychic scream) it would be real disaster to draw such thing against priest. No time to play 5 mana 5/5, it's just not good enough. And your big guys -> medivh and Alextrasza might still be somewhere among those dragons in the deck :( so sad...
To be honest I really like the card. Like the look of it :) I guess stats could be 4/4, because when you summon only one dragon it's a little bit... lame... (if you just have to play it because you have no other choice and you need board). And than it would be 8/8 for 9 mana... anything more it's somewhat gain but dies to AOE so... I don't know. We'll have to see. I really want to try this card out with new elemental which discounts generated cards. Really hope it will work. Because after they are discounted below 5 mana they still count for the dragon summoning, right? Can somebody confirm this or deny?
