I really like the design of the card symbol - clearly shows it comes from the Descent of Dragons adventure, and lays some UX groundwork for future adventure tie-in collectibles.
Most of these cards are also pretty cool, and I'm glad that the explorers are getting hero cards, but the Dark Prophecy card seems pretty weak. Yeah, you'll get some high rolls, but you'll get plenty of low rolls too, and the average result is a vanilla 3 mana 3/5 - not bad, but probably not far enough above vanilla to be good (unless we also see some powerful spell synergies along with it).

You'd be surprised. You need to draw those cards to make it work, and your opponent can heal your face for you. I've actually found fatigue to be a solid strategy. Hemet followed by as many draw mechanics as you can find. Or just going full Northshire...
I'm still shocked from the return of Pirate Warrior ... It isn't as potent - read ''cancerous'' - as it used to be, but still ... PW in 2020, who would have thought!
To get the discussion back to your thread title(s) ;
Priest never really been a ''minion'' class, and when it been decklists centered on minions, there was whether very few of them in a list - and not necessarily class exclusive ones either - or they were really situational. Having a Galankrond's effect that randomly generates class restricted minions from a pool of minion that doesn't see much play - unless said deck is built around their effects - is pretty underwhelming on its own ; it can be good, sometimes, but most of the time just some random stuff to populate your board.
And as for the deck builder, the AI is smart, to some extend ; it will cook up what - on paper - has the highest winrate recorded across their inner data collection system, from what's available to your collection. In that fashion, ''Smart deck builder AI'' will candidly add Hench-Clan Thug to your list, as it is fair to assume it holds a victorious track record when used, drawn and played, but not necessarily in your Priest built. You wanted a Galakrond's list, but the AI went with, regardless of the only card you added in, here's the best I can do for priest, in the current recorded meta, with the collection you have.
So, in conclusion - addressing both side of the title - basically, smart AI was just trying to steer you away from Galakrond Priest to help you win some games ^^
Re: Warlock - my point was more that warlock has been viable for like a week before it's kicked back into the corner again. It simply amused me.
Re: Apothecary, we'll have to disagree on this one. Increasing the mana point by one isn't going to have a significant functional effect on how it plays against most decks - the only matchups it'll really hurt are midrange ones, most of which are eating nerfs here too. It's not like the rogue archetypes using it care about tempo much - they're about the swing turn, and that turn coming a turn later really isn't going to make much of a difference.
Now, if it'd gone to six mana, that might be something - it'd stop on-curve Apothecary into Whelp. But, y'know, it didn't.
I've been playing it steadily since the DoD release from 10-5. It dog walks a lot of control because of it's draw abilities. But that's just been my experience.
I'll give you the same answer I wrote to a guy above you:
"[Galakrond ZooLock] is the 4th best deck in the meta based on today's Vicious Syndicate meta report. Moreover, the three archetypes above it (Galakrond Shaman, Galakrond Warrior and Deathrattle Rogue) will be nerfed."
The deck is strong right now, but they probably predicted it could have become too oppressive in the post nerfs meta, thus the change to Fiendish Rites.
On a side note, if you really think Necrium Apothecary won't be hurt that much from its nerf, I'm afraid you're dramatically wrong.

Suicide warrior.

no offense, but does it not seem like poor timing to release a meta breaker article when the meta is about to change drastically thanks to nerfs?
Suicide warrior.
"Could also be used for deranking.''
Now that's purposeful ; you don't have to concede if your list can't even win ^^

Just how bad is Galakrond Priest? Or the autocomplete is broken.
