How can this game have so many glaring bugs? Hire more testers or test for longer, having bugs like those on live servers is unacceptable for most companies.
Whether which Galakrond will be good enough is largely depend on the invoke cards, and its no surprise that Galakrond shaman is currently the best around. They simply invoke Galakrond faster than every other class, and it buys tempo too.
No surprise that Galakrond rogue couldn't find its feet. Was up yesterday desperately trying to make it work but the invoke cards were much too weak. Lost tempo almost every time I tried playing them and in a class without much healing that's basically an auto concede. Kinda sad, was really wanting Galakrond rogue to be a thing.
Props to this dude for not immediately conceding after I dropped a 10/10 Edwin VanCleef on turn 2. He actually finished the game, I would have conceded lol
Here's my Day 1 impressions after screwing around at Rank 5:
1) Galakrond Quest Shaman is incredibly strong right now, though I think it's due to the lack of refined decks in the meta that could truly challenge it. The deck generates incredible value and wide boards though, making it really tough to deal with (Dragon's Pack and Corrupt Elementalist are incredibly annoying to face). I still think a quest-less Shaman could be a stronger deck in the future, but we'll see.
2) Handlock is pretty solid. I tried a control version with some legendary dragons (Alexstrasza, Malygos, Zzeraku the Warped) for a weird late-game approach, and it's working so far. It's the deck I had the most success with (currently 6-2) though it's still clunky.
3) Galakrond Warrior is strange. I'm still unsure whether it'll be better with a tempo/aggro or control shell. I tried the control shell because I just kept running into a lot of Shamans, but their near-infinite value is just incredibly difficult to outlast. I'm currently tinkering with a more aggressive build to take advantage of Galakrond's hero power.
4) Galakrond Priest is interesting. It's win condition relies on a late-game Talanji bomb, but I don't know how to proceed in the early and mid-game other than surviving. Maybe a dragon-heavy build is the way to go?
5) Galakrond Rogue looks like a solid tempo deck too. It just struggles against Shamans right now.
6) I am REALLY enjoying Deathwing, Mad Aspect, especially when he gets buffed by Galakrond, the Unbreakable. Watching a 16/16 minion lay waste to a whole board is just immensely satisfying.
Yeah I’ve been seeing people having problems with that. Mainly seems to be with rush, but I think I heard someone saying it happened with another one too. When I was playing a lot of the time it was the tooltip that’s seemed to be causing problems. Sometimes the keyword would get stuck on the board too for the rest of the game
Has anyone else noticed the weird text randomly appearing over the board? Like when you play a minion with Rush, you'll see "Rush" appear over the board for a split second. I'll try and get a screen shot.
I had this issue too. I played a Nozdormu that I got from Dragon Roar, then my opponent played a Corrupt Elementalist where the animations from invoking Galakrond froze the game for me. By the time the game was back online, my turn was over because, well, Nozdormu. Pretty funny, actually.
I really wonder what they're gonna do with unsanctioned lands. Some more full arts would be wonderful, even cooler with it being back-to-back with Theros BD.
Yeah, I'd love to make our voting even better. I actually managed to sneak voting in right before reveals really got started so it is not fully feature complete. We've still got a discussion to do with the staff on how we can make the next reveal season even better, this is definitely something we'll bring up.
I fully expect us to do another awesome giveaway next expansion, even if we're limited to on-site rewards. (Which honestly, are some of my favourite rewards since people who have been around the longest have potential to have some really cool stuff down the line).

I am disappointed at the lack of tentacles in the Hentai Highlander Hunter deck. This must be the censored version.

I also had this weird freeze after me and my Opponent played our Galakronds.
There was nothing we could do, so we had an epic Face-off with Emotes.
