I'd find it strange when 16/30 cards in the deck, and a lot produce more battlecrys, the quest isn't good enough to run. But I agree, shaman is too powerful and present in the meta.
The deck has a lot of burst potential with the weapons and cannons and whatnot, but there isn't a lot than can bypass taunts. If that ever becomes an issue you can always add Mortal Strikes. You can also add another Southsea Captain if you want, I only have one in the deck because I only have one.
Niiiice, thanks a lot! I'm currently missing Sir Finley, can I cut him for the second Southsea Captain
Sir finley is pretty useful, the warrior hero power is the worst one for aggressive decks, but you could probably replace him and be alright.
After looking at Control's list, I decided to make the following changes.
-2 Hoard Pillager, they prevented me from using N'Zoth's First Mate and also were (rarely) just sitting in my hand doing nothing, I just don't think they are very necessary.
I really don't see any fit for Galakrond in warlock except for Veiled Worshipper and, when fully invoked the weapon. As already mentioned, i can not understand how shaman gets 2/1 Elementals with rush and warlock just some lousy 1/1 wisps with demontag.....
I think Galakrond Priest has potential in theory, its just high-rolly and also getting drowned out by other more efficient decks. The game needs to last long--ideally into fatigue--for the HP to be meaningful, and right now most games are closing out much much sooner, so it ends up depending on exactly which random minions you received. If you roll [Hearthstone Card (Catrina Muetre) Not Found], Grave Horror, [Hearthstone Card (Convincing Inflitrator) Not Found], etc multiple times you probably win; if you roll Lightwell, Sand Drudge, Dead Ringer, and Test Subject multiple times you probably lose. If they had done Discover instead of random, I think it might be too powerful (re: Deathstalker Rexxar and Doctor Boom). Maybe if it was like Shifter Zerus but for just priest minions, so if you rolled a bad one you could just wait another turn?
How is it not OP? How can anyone deal with four rushing 8/8s without a total board wipe like Twisting Nether? If the only answer to that is hyper aggro to kill them before turn 7, then it's OP.
I wouldn't say useless - Galakrond ZooLock is doing pretty decent so far. Sure Shaman is a hard match-up but so far the Zoo-Galakrond lists are doing well.
Pirate warrior feels strong to play - I reckon once the meta settles a bit it'll rest nicely in mid tier 2
Shaman - Galakrond is strong, especially with faceless corupter (this will see a nerf, to good with too many token/lackey generators in this meta) Def tier 1
Highlander Mage - really suprised, this deck seems really good. Thought it might get put out this meta, solid bottom to mid tier 2
Galakrond Rogue - Hard to pilot but can do nearly anything with the right person. Likley tier 2-3 but can be tier1 under the right user.
Hunter - Dragon version is definitley powerful, not many people playing it yet. Highlander is slightly more powerful, again a strong tier 2
Druid - the dragons are really fun, token seems good but just not op enough, reckon druid will settle around tier 3
Priest - reckon galak priest is a sleeper, there's a deck waiting to be found with that.
Well so far i realy like the expansion - lots of strong cards and ideas i have to try :)
So far i've mostly messed around with :
Pirate Warrior : Pretty strong - if you have the right opening hand you can have 4 minions on turn 1 :) - Everything goes Face and thanks to Hoard Pillager you get extra swings with your weapons :)
Zoo-Lock: Also very strong - thanks to Invoke you can put good pressure on the board - cards like Faceless Corruptor are pretty much OP in here.
Galakrond Shaman: This is so far the strongest list i've tried - you do not need the Quest - you're way faster and stronger without :) The Invoking gives you so much pressure on the board that you do not need the double Battlecry - and Shudderwock replays all the Invoke stuff because they are Battlecrys :)
Hero-Power Hunter: As soon as i saw Dragonbane i was convinced some sort of Hero Power Hunter will rise up - doing decent so far but not as strong as i thought it would be - but still pretty decent :)
I'm still testing and trying out different lists - next will be some sort of Aggro and Dragon Paladin - and i will defenitely will try some Rogue Shenanigans :)

Awesome Blossom
One of the most beautiful
Galakrond Warlock totally useless?
It's hard for all classes against Shaman right now so that shouldn't be the focus.
IMHO it has to be aggro to work because there's not a lot of tempo in the meta so you need to compete with aggro decks and beat control for speed.

-2 Hoard Pillager, they prevented me from using N'Zoth's First Mate and also were (rarely) just sitting in my hand doing nothing, I just don't think they are very necessary.
+2 N'Zoth's First Mate, it is an amazing 1 drop.
-2 Livewire Lance, I think it is a little slow with the damage and the lackey's aren't necessary to win. Also we don't want too many weapons.
+2 Bloodsail Cultist, the only reason I didn't have them before is because I didn't own them, so I just crafted them.
-2 Loot Hoarder, they were nice, but not the best, there are just better cards to use.
+1 Leeroy Jenkins, nice burst damage.
+1 Southsea Captain, I decided that it would be a worthwhile craft.
Galakrond Warlock totally useless?
Could it be useful in the Plot Twist deck?

Thanks for checking out the deck. Yes they are very fun to play but definitely not competitive at all.

I'm surprised they didn't address the bug of Nithogg's eggs having rush.

You said "fun" decks! There's nothing fun about Galakrond Shaman decks--ladder is already infested with them. :-(

Control made below list. He's still the best and most experienced pirate warrior player, so I'd go with that:

Galakrond Warlock totally useless?
I did see a Galakrond Handlock deck earlier. It ran stuff like Jumbo Imp as well as some standard removal like Lord Godfrey and Twisting Nether.
I believe this was the deck (or at least close to it). This is in Japanese, but the deck code is below the initial post:

Summoning two imps with Galakrond does seem super underwhelming though. They couldn't even give them rush?

Also saw Regis playing some ZooLock :
