Which would players prefer? I am thinking Beasts makes more sense since Dragons are more of a Skywing thing and there are LOTS of Dragons already.
I'd like to see it as a beast. Currently there are one of each, but converting the basilisk templar to draksar beast would be good.
I think you have that reversed. All Skywings are Dragons but not all Dragons are Skywings. That said, Basilisks are probably more beast than dragon, (though strictly speaking, all Dragons are Beasts but not all Beasts are Dragons).
