Sleepy Dragon

Sleepy Dragon is a common neutral minion card, from the Kobolds & Catacombs set.

Strategy
With a great 12 health and decent 4 attack, Sleepy Dragon can be a very powerful tool in the late stages of a game, freezing up an opponent's minions altogether. While there are other high-cost Dragons out there that have more powerful effects, Sleepy Dragon has the greatest stats on a 9-mana taunt minion to date equaling Giant Mastodon. Its 4 attack protects it from Priest cards as well.
