Adventure cards used to be craftable only once they would go to the Wild format, meaning they won't. However, they can be acquired through the purchase of the Adventure - which can be done through gold or irl money
Ok, so the dream of having all explorers as Hero Cards is gone. I guess one class is getting a Legendary while the rest get nothing because... reasons?
I'm not convinced it is that dangerous in rogue because you already have so many lackeys anyway and I'm not convinced a late game turn of spamming lackeys is better than what you can already do.
Warlock with Tekahn looks like the bigger danger to me. So far the 4/4s have been OK as you are quite limited on the number of lackeys, but this goes a long way to circumvent that.
I suspect this is not the case. If Grand Lackey was itself a Lackey, generators of Lackeys would be able to generate him and we've recently seen why stuff like that is bad with the recent Alex nerf. It would be even worse though considering how small the lackey pool is.
It's possible Erkh counts as a lackey for Tekahn while not being in the random lackey pool. Unlike Treants where every card with "treant" in the name is considered a Treant, there have been cards with "lackey" in the name that are unrelated to the League of EVIL, such as Kabal Lackey and Possessed Lackey. So the card name cannot be leading, but it could be that the set of minions that counts as a lackey while on the board is separate from the set of randomly generated lackeys.

Aeon Reaver really looks like the Priest version of Warlock's Riftcleaver, being both minions well suited for the classes they belong to.
I'm looking forward to play it in my Highlander Priest.
Indeed, both thematically well fitted minion for their respective class, as well as great situational removal.
Does Grand Lackey Erkh count as a Lackey himself?
Also, Lackeylock, let's go
By definition, lackeys are non-collectable tokens, so Erkh can't actually be one.
Also, if he were a lackey, he could be created by lackey generators, and I'm sure that cannot be the case.
Are the cards craftable? Or can be only purchased by gold/money?
They've said that golden versions are craftable once you earn them from the adventure, and the adventure is for purchase with money or gold.

I believe there are 4 legendaries for each path... four E.V.I.L. And four expľorers, each chapter having one on the end.
Erkh is actually a nice value generator. will absolutely see play in Galakrond Rogue
Honestly, I'm a little afraid of this card being too overboard because of Rogue. It'll be funny when Blizzard has to nerf it.

This card makes me wanna try Lackey Warlock with Tekhan and Glinda Crowskin again, honestly.
Rogues has too many lackey generators, so I think rogue definitely doesn't need it, rogue also doesn't generally lose by having too few lackeys.
At this point I'd be concerned about hand size issues
I'M more worried about Warlock tbh, spammming 4/4 lackeys without end gives me Quest Rogue Flashbacks
Ugh, yeah, don't remind me. It was all fun and games when everyone said the rogue quest sucked... lol.
I wonder if Dark Pharaoh Tekahn will buff Grand Lackey.
No, because it's not a Lackey.
