Kibler's got a nice card lol.
3 3/2s with rush is pretty good for 3 mana.
Comparable to Restless Mummy at a 1 mana discount with another 3/2 body, assuming you fulfill its condition.
Auto include in Gaklarond warrior. Cheap removal!
have such a strong effect if you have a dragon,too op
Seems like an auto include in all gakakrond warriors. That means in all warriors from now on.
Rabid Worgen was a 3/3 rush wich was played
This is a Dragon, so that alone makes it better since enables dragon sinergy(like getting another copy with Dragon Breeder
But its pretty bonkers if you meet the condition, and even more if you draw this via Galakrond's battlecry since then it's potentially 3 7/6 with rush for 3 mana
Like wow. In the right deck this is awesome card. Of course, it will come later as you need invoke twice but 3/2 rush for 3 is not a bad minion either
-=alfi=-
Good card if you got the Invoke off. Will definitely see play in Galakrond decks.
Not so strong for Curve, but very strong in later turns.
Nice art too.
Really strong effect.
3 3/2 rush dragon for 3 mana, awesome.
By The Holy Light!
If drawn with galakrond it's a 3 mana 3 7/6 s dragons with rush, which you might want to use dragon breeder on one of these for more removal of such effect...
It all comes together.. Just need actual galakrond invokes in warrior.
They’re really pushing the archetype huh? A really good card to make up for any subpar cards you might’ve used to activate it
Who needs consistency when you could have fun?
A 3 mana removal if you are behind in the early game and a huge tempo play later, when 2 invokes triggered. Pretty nice!
Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!
Pretty nice for a Galakrond dragon deck. Seem like warrior will be using some of the dragons they got in Rasthakan Rumble.
given that this was revealed prematurely I suppose there will be more synergy cards to justify its effect.
We haven't seen the Warrior Invokers yet, but I doubt we get ones that actually allow you to play this on turn 3...meaning the true strength of this comes from
a) being drawn with Galakrond
or
b) synergizing with some other dragon related mechanic that has yet to be revealed for Warrior
Either way, I doubt they'd waste an epic slot on a card that's just a worse Restless Mummy at face value.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
Definitely don't want to rush to conclusions here, but in the case that this is functionally a super Restless Mummy for one less mana, it's great. The question is, how many good invoke effects will Warrior have access to, and will they be easy to play before this? So far we've only seen a couple of neutral invokes and no Warrior invokes, so it's way too early to judge this card, but I suspect that the one mana extra on Restless Mummy will still be worth it to hit that "average value" of two 3/2 rush minions, specifically because it's so consistent. But maybe Galakrond Warrior has room for both, since 3 mana summon three 3/2 rush minions is powerful in the late game.
Dragon Warrior rises from the ashes... like another mythical fiery flying creature.
Pretty similar to Oasis Surger.
Imagine getting this from Galakronds Battlecry! 3 7-6 with rush for 3 is bonkers.
The only thing that's missing are some Warrior-Invokers.

Really good, 5/5, if you manage to invoke early. Still good in lategame with 9 rush damage, or absolutely insane if to draw them with Galakrond's buff. Now for Warrior to get some cheap invokers to trigger this...
Clearly nice but, as all Invoke cards, everything depend on how Galakrond will turns out in the end.
"For what profit is it to a man if he gains the world, and loses his own soul?"
A really cheap late game removal for warriors (and they already have so many, maybe that's why they made the Galakrond condition).

very strong, warrior needs more removal, for sure
Absolutely fantastic - this will be in every Dragon/Control Warrior deck until it rotates.
damn is this a trend? first a 3/3/3 rush in ww, then a 4/3/2 ×2 rush in uldum, now this?
This card scales really well.
(1) Will Warrior Galakrond be good?
- I think it has a good shot. I like that one quite a bit
(2) Will Warrior Galakrond want something like this?
- Harder to say until the whole set is fleshed out, but it seems reasonable.
If you thought Restless Mummy was annoying then this one is even more. Warrior already has many good dragon synergy cards so I'm curious to see Dragon Galakrond Warrior in play. I'm also half-tempted to make a Warrior deck consisting of just board clears.
Well it's over
balanced version of Omega Devastator
A 3 mana 3/2 dragon rush is already playable, due to warrior's rush tutor capacity. Being a dragon, it enables all dragon synergies, while not needing one itself. Now looking at the effect, and it easily out-classes restless mummy and can be seen on par with oasis surger.
But then there is still the matter of galockron's battlecry which simply makes this card broken.
Will see play for sure
Kibler got a great card. Better than Restless Mummy when you invoke twice. Even as a removal for 3 mana deal three is not very bad
5/5 card glad that it's only really worth it in Galakrond decks, makes for a bigger diversity in decks.
Probably makes Barista very worth in the deck aswell regaining 3 times this minion in your hand can do alot of work and thanks to the mana cost its also very easy to combo it with Barista.
Man, Warrior is always getting the best Rush minions, first Militia Commander and after that that Restless Mummy and now this card. Very good card.
We still haven't seen any of warriors invoke cards, but this is pretty powerful.
It is a Restless Mummy, except better in every way, getting 3 bodies for just 1 card is awesome, and he also keeps any buffs, so drawing him with Galakrond, the Unbreakable means that he will be three 7/6's with rush.
This card is just awesome, there is a lot of punch-power in this card, and even if you aren't able to activate it, it is still a playable card.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
That's a spicy dragon
Handbuff dragon warrior? Hmmm I don't know .. but 3 mana 9/6 in early game (if you manage to do this) is super strong.
Edit. didn't saw that "rush", well, 5 stars :O
I'm sorry for my bad english :)
Not sure if by turn 3 it's possible to invoke twice, but 2 of these at turn 6 after invokes, damn!
Curious to see what support is coming for it.
Yeah, this card is very good. The base isn't insane, but its perfectly playable. It gives warrior a good new Rush minion with upside. The Dragon tag is great, the effect bonus effect is great for board control or tempo in the midgame after you invoked twice. If you could ever have this fully active on turn 3 as Warrior its likely this would lead to Warrior being one of the best aggro classes this expansion. Hopefully that's not possible.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women.
Galakrond warrior starts to feel more and more stronger.
A 3 mana for a 3/2 dragon with rush isn't good, but is not atrocius either, it can be lifesaving versus an aggro deck to remove an early threat.
After you invoked twice it becomes ridiculous; if galakrond draws this is the nuts, 3 mana for 3 7/6 with rush, i can already tell i will be super pissed off when that will happen against me.
Warriors have the legendary 4/3 that doubles the number of dragons in your hand, and this is probably one of the better target for it, especially if the dragon was buffed by Galakrond.
If warriors gets any good invoke card with a low cost i think the mid/aggro warrior will be a serious thing
Definitely an OP card. Replaces the reborn mummy for control warrior with 1 more bonus minion. Insane value!
Awesome card, hope I pull some. We still need to see the Warrior's Invoke cards - come on, Blizz! - but this looks like an auto-include for sure. The more we see of Galakrond Warrior, the more excited I become.
We haven't see any of the Galakrond Invokers for Warrior yet, but this card is bonkers. Hopefully there is an early drop to activate this guy, and he'll be amazing on curve.
Its either a mini Oasis Surger or a mega Oasis Surger IF drawn by the Warrior Galakrond.
If this get's drawn by Galakrond, do the copies also have the +4/+4? That's just crazy for a turn 9 play to gain a 5/2 weapon, armor and then drop 21/18 worth of rushing stats on the board.
Has synergy with Rush, Dragons and Galakrond decks.
This card by itself, without the crazy invoked effect, is still rather good since it's a 3 mana 3/2 rush that is also a dragon and Rabid Worgen did see some fair amount of play.
However, if you are able to activate its invoked effect, it becomes insane. It turns into 3 3/2 rush dragons which is far superior than Restless Mummy for 1 less mana and can be dublicated with cards such as Dragon Breeder or Barista Lynchen. Imagine drawing this with Galakrond, the Unbreakables battlecry.
We now have to wait and see how good the other invoke cards are.
More dragons? Yes please!
It's barely passable on curve. But if you play it with the condition met, it's absolutely nuts. So bottom line: we're going to be seeing a LOT of this guy going into the expac.
I was patiently waiting for a Fluffy card, but wasn't expecting Fluffy Kibler ^^
Struggle with Heroic Galakrond's Awakening? I got your back :
Weird feelings on low-cost late game cards. Maybe good with Rhino but really slow. 3 x 8/7 Rushes look worth it though.
Landed on a three star review because honestly... it's going to be one or five, totally dependent on how easy/likely the condition is going to be in the meta.
This is such a strong 5 star card . For 6 mana you basically get a board full of 3/2 rush minions .
Also ,god have mercy on your soul if your opponent hits this with their galakrond
Can be played early for 3 damage, late for triple 3/2 or triple 7/6. It should see play, sounds flexible enough and with great potential value, fitting tempo nicely.
This card will be super scary with warrior´s Galakrond. I think it will be one of those that we will be all the time complaining about
A very strong card for Galakrond warriors. 3-2 with rush for 3 mana is... playable. Three 3-2 bodies with rush - is already a monster card. But if it's getting buffed by Galakrond's battlecry Scion of Ruin will make a strong board by itself. One of the strongest card of the expansion IMO.
Seems pretty damn powerful in the mid to late game, likely won't be possible to have invoked twice before turn 3.
Just imagine drawing this card from Galakrond, the Unbreakable, you get three 7/6 rush minions for 3 mana...seems pretty good! Can see this for sure being played in the tempo Galakrond Warrior deck. You might even want to run Akali, the Rhino as well to get another chance at buffing this guy, super powerful if you do.
Even without getting the double invoke off, it is at worst essentially a Rabid Worgen with dragon tribal. Really seems like quite a powerful card for a tempo Warrior deck.
Really really good, in early game and late game. Plus is a dragon. Pretty sure there will be good invoke for warrior so 5 stars
Pretty solid IMHO, could even be used without its effect in early game just in case.
This card is an early aoe that will see play in control warrior for sure, it helps alot with early board control!
I guess this card seems pretty strong, because it does have Rush and that sweet synergy with Barista Lynchen for more late game-eqsue power. But it's only too good if you get to Invoke twice, which will likely not happen by turn three - maybe around turn six, seven or eight, which is still the time to get the mentioned combo. As a standalone card, it's alright, but you wouldn't want to include a worse Rabid Worgen in your deck and want a late-game 9/6 instead.
I don't think this will surpass Restless Mummy that much in terms of early game tempo, because Mummy has no restriction to get powerful, and is also a sticky minion when needed. This one deals more damage later (WAY more with cards like Warrior Galakrond), but can take more board space. That drawback seems very minor though.
It really depends on how the Warrior Galakrond plays out, as his Hero Power is giving you Attack instead of more defense, but has a powerful tutor. If you happen to tutor this, it becomes a scary foe. Also nice with Akali, the Rhino, but that card has seen no play due to how slow it is. Should see play overall.
Rating 4/5

This looks like a better copy of restless mummy.op with the galakrond.
this isnt the real name right? has it been revealed yet?
I have a hard time seeing this not being played in every Galakrond deck. I remember when Saronite Chain Gang felt oppressive... this is going to be the most complained about card in the meta
GenX APM Specialist.
Maybe the best of the "need to have invoked galakron" cards.
In ealry game Restless Mummy is stronger. In mid/late game (with the battlecry) Scion of Ruin is the winner and if you are able to buff this card in hand the value will be tremendous
Seems incredible for generating a board of rush with just 1 card.
Now we only need good warrior invoke cards and we are set.
This, and Galakrond should be pretty devastating. 3x 7/6 minions. ouch.
Knowledge is Power
This is undoubtedly one of the strogest card of the set.
Elders Scrolls : Legends / Runeterra
If Galakrond Warrior will be a thing, this card might be one of the most frustrating cards ever be printed.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
well, so it's been established that we can't play this on curve (unless we coin Ritual Chopper and play a second one on turn 2, either wasting a charge or the invoke damage).
This makes it worse than Mummy but emphasizess how you're supposed to draw this with Galakrond...which you can't really influence.
Probably the only Invoke benefactor not worth running at the end of the day.
I tried having fun once.
It was awful.
i guess it good in aggro decks and control. guess i'll need to craft the RR dragons
Turn 10: Play Galakrond to draw this as a 7/6, then play this to put 21/18 worth of stats on the board that can immediately rush.
Prety good card in any Galakrond deck. Being a cheap Dragon it may also find place in other dragon dedicated decks.
Really good card to put in Galakrond Warrior
so it's like that worgen except 2X better since it summons clones I don't think there's a reason to not run this in galakrond warrior
Self proclaimed good at battlegrounds
This card costs 1 mana less than Restless Mummy and is similar strong, but works only in Galakrond decks. Will see play in every Galakrond deck, but probably not in decks like Control Warrior.
Even better rush card than the mummy, seems like a autoinclude in all galakrond decks.
Decent as is played on curve as a 3/2 with Rush. Also has the Dragon tag and if you activate it, it becomes fantastic, dealing 9 damage for 3 mana and you can distribute the damage in chunks of 3. Once again Warrior’s best card is looking to be an Epic, so you just know you’re going to open only 1 copy and then you’ll cave and craft the second copy, only to get a third copy a week later and you’ll hate life :P
Jaina is best waifu. Always.
Not horrible at baseline and good synergy with Galakrond's battlecry. Although it is not that easy to pull off.
Very flexible card. You can use it early for tempo against aggro or late game for value after you have invoked Galagkrond. If you draw it with Galakrond it'll be a 7/6 rush minion that summons 2 more copies of it! OP!
Good card, goes well with Galakrond's Battlecry and playstyle, can even be played un-Invoked as desperate removal. Awesome!
Even in basic form is this card absolutely bonkers, but imagine this with hand buff (for example from Galakrond). How this could go through testing?
Fun and interactive game.
imagine drawing it with galakrond's battlecry.. just wow
