Kronx Dragonhoof is a six-cost 6/6 Neutral minion with a Battlecry that automatically draws Galakrond from the user’s deck. If the player has already played Galakrond, however, Kronx Dragonhoof unleashes a “Devastation”—one of four powerful spells, each coming with their own unique benefits.

Players get to choose between the four Devastation cards: Decimation, Reanimation, Domination, and Annihilation. Decimation deals five damage to the enemy hero and restores five health to the player. Reanimation summons an 8/8 Dragon with Taunt. Domination gives the player’s minions on the field +2/+2. Annihilation deals five damage to all other minions.

Veranus is a six-cost 7/6 Dragon from the Hunter class. The minion has a Battlecry that changes the health of all enemy minions to one. Players should try to play Veranus against opponents who have hidden behind a wall of defense so they can easily knock out any larger minions.
