Most of the Dragon cards are very expensive late game cards suitable for slower control decks. Generally Alexstrasza is used in combo decks such as Freeze Mage or for combo finishes like in Control Warrior decks. Malygos has seen more play after Blackrock Mountain as Emperor Thaurissan makes it easier to unleash huge Spell bursts from players hand. Most notably Rogue and Warlock utilise Malygos for finisher with spells like Sinister Strike or Soulfire.
