Drakonid Operative

Drakonid Operative is a rare priest minion card, from the Mean Streets of Gadgetzan set.

Strategy
This minion's Battlecry provides strategic insight into the opponent's deck by revealing three cards left in their deck. This not only informs the player of the opponent's deck type, but can confirm which cards they don't currently have in their hand. It also provides a form of card draw, and even gives the player the option to draw the most useful card of three, similar to how Tracking functions. On top of that, Drakonid Operative has a very strong stat line, and provides Dragon synergy.

This card is an incredibly strong choice for Dragon Priest and can fit into Dragon-heavy Reno Priest lists.

Lore
The Drakonid Operative, a spy seemingly hailing from the, was hired by Kazakus to keep tabs on his rivals. The Operative's ability keeps in line with this theme, as even the two cards the player does not pick still gives them information about their opponent's deck.

Trivia

 * The Drakonid Operative was originally known as the "Investigator" and lacked the Dragon minion type and restriction. This Investigator was also the earliest version of what would later become Raza the Chained.
