Breath of Dreams

Pair this card with Malygos to handle any problematic opponent. It only costs two mana to use it. You can draw a card, and if you are holding a dragon, you will gain an empty mana crystal. This is a card that is best used early into a match to get an advantage. During the late game, it isn’t quite as useful unless you are in dire straits and just desperate for another card.
