I am mobile exclusive. Never or rarely had problems before. Now BGs is almost unplayable. I need to see what my opponents have and how their builds work, plus how my own is working so I can adjust. Right now that is impossible.
Looks strong. Warlock has a few strong lvl-1 plays, and can afford to miss the second turn. The pay off will be worth it. This is also great in handlock, I suppose, since you can play it whenever, and create big swing turns.
It means that at least we are going to have 2 years of secrets. Maybe this year we'll have one per expeansion at least (I would love to have this way). Then, imo, when phoenix rotate out we are going to have at least one year secret-less as it happens with year of the dragon but let's see if this "pattern" will continue forever. I'm fine with this too :)
This card has an awesome design and flavor. I love how the Rogue burgle theme fits perfectly here with the Discover of the other three classes that had Secrets.
I don't know how strong is gonna be Secret Quest Rogue but seems a deck fun to try at release.
I am glad they are continuing to push this handbuff thing for warlock (although it is kinda weird they would print this just as rastakhans rumble is leaving standard). Handbuff is fun and I really do want more support for it.
Handbuff is a fun way to play, and it's a particularly interesting way to play Handlock that would have historically been all but impossible. May not be competitive at high ranks, but I think playing this "Big Random Demon" Handlock will be a lot of fun.
The waking in 2 turns is a property of the dormant card, not of an unwritten battlecry as far as I have seen. They will awaken in two turns, which is likely too slow for galakrond, but from what I've seen, the battlecry on galakrond is mediocre more than not already.
I would be mad that they didn't release this with Hir'eek and Omega Agent still around, but even with this they wouldn't be playable, so who really cares.
This at least seems like a better approach to handbuff lock given that Dormant minions probably favour a slower playstyle. If you play this in Handlock with [Hearthstone Card (Dark Council) Not Found] you can actually set this up to get Demons with +4/+4, wooooooo
Craft...decks? So how do I do that? Are there pre-built decks that I can craft or am I missing something here?
Also, zoolock/aggro has never appealed to me. Is there a good semi-control deck that is viable for low cost crafting? I liked the Braum/buff deck (plus I always liked Braum in LoL). Is there a decent Braum/Friejlord deck that is viable for low level usage while I'm still learning the game and stuff?
I would wait until after next Tuesday before seriously spending any resources: you'll have another vault, another expedition token = random champion, plus hopefully your first champion from region rewards, and that will go a long way towards deciding how exactly you want to go.
Regarding Braum: I don't think he's in any of the "top tier" decks, but he's definitely viable. Again: what's the best way for you to go will probably depend on exactly what legendaries and epics you open. As an example, below is my personal favorite use of him, my Braum/Vlad deck--this probably isn't a good use of wildcards, but I will say I enjoy it. I also saw a neat Braum/Kalista poro deck on Youtube last night. There's also some Decamia decks. Really: anything that can buff Braum can turn him into a threat.

The Dormant demons for Galakrond is bad if opponent has a solid board.
BUT, if used on an empty board it could be a different story if you get Dormant Demons.
Don't count Galakrond completely out, not to mention you can board clear with ease while they are in dormant state if you play Control Galakrond.

You missed a chance to call it "Imp-risoned Scrap Imp".

Shouldn't it be 'destroy all other friendly minions'? Unless it's supposed to kill itself too?

Isn't that a warlock hood for WoW? Hope card is as dope as the artwork.

It's a solid Buff, but there isn't really a Pay off for Handbuffs in Warlock. And I don't think Zoo would like to play a 2 Mana do Nothing.
But hey, there's still a lot of Warlock-Cards to come!
WILD PLAYERS ARISE !
how is kingsbane affected by the changes in any way ? am I missing something ?

yes it will and yes Warlock Galakrond is now infinitely worse seeing how every class is getting a dormant demon

Apparently they are going in on this Handbuff-Lock Idea. Let's hope this won't be a RR2 for Warlock!
Old LoL player who currently plays Hearthstone. How is Runeterra different?

There we go, there's the IMP of the set!
So, more dedicated handbuffing for Warlock MIGHT help it out?
It's SUPER SLOW tho so it buffs your hand by turn 3 at earliest if you coin it out...

When summoned from Galakrond, does it remain dormant? That would be a huge nerf to GK.
