Faceless Corruptor is broken (save you extra copies of this one lads. This card is going to get nerfed. 10/8 in stats on T5 is ridiculous. If your opponent leaves a single minion on the board for you on T4, the game is over)
Nithogg is probably going to receive the axe very quickly. If the eggs hatched normally as well if broken by the opponent, it would be good. But I played him in both my games (with double battlecry) and not a single egg hatched. UPDATE: I finally had eggs hatch, and it was game ending. If your opponent can't clear the eggs, you basically win. Plus he is a good Mutate target.
If possible, try turn into Galakrond BEFORE completing Corrupt the Waters. Double Battlecry is a much more powerful HP to have. Even games that I have drawn him, I didn't use him. Invoking Galakrond is an amazing way to maintain board control.
Dragon's Pack is very powerful, but so far, I think it's good at running only 1 copy.
First try was a very greedy Waxadred Galakrond Rogue which is not very good (surprise!). It's veh hard to figure out the correct amount of draw and removal.
Second I tried Pirate Warrior which looks very strong. Very good win rate from rank 10 to 8. Then got destroyed by a Quest Galakrond Shaman. Only encounter so far, but this looks completely broken. Gonna try that next tomorrow.
I could only construct a Galakrond Rogue for now; It seems promising but need to say that I had some issues with drawing/generating. My hand overflowed almost in every game and Couldn't use Galakrond correctly to get those 0 cost cards because of my huge handsize. Lackeys are everywhere and generates so much cards. why i don't know but I couldn't get kobold titanic or the other that evolves. I only get generators. Damn we were so crowded. It needs some tweaking tho.
and I almost got my paladin collection full, will try it next, played a game only with I could draw Nozdormu and its impact was huge, after dropping it on turn 4 I finished a highlander mage in next turn. Probably I was so lucky and It will be bad in time because everyone will learn to use Dragonmaw Poacher.
I tried my goofy meme Transmogrifier + Plot Twist Warlock deck and - hold onto your hats - a handful of random, unrelated Legendaries is not in fact actually good. The "combo" isn't all that hard to pull off though and definitely faster than just using Arch-Villain Rafaam.
Galakrond Rogue has been okay - I've had some tough matches with really bad draws so a little early to really say. the ability to get multiple uses from Kronx Dragonhoof with all the bounce/double battlecry stuff in Rogue is definitely a strong play.
Dragon Paladin (Highlander or otherwise) is, as many expected, incredibly strong.
Titles says it all, share your first impressions with the decks you got.
I tried Treant Druid. It honestly looks incredibly solid, although not insane. The main problem is still card draw but Aeroponics is a good foundation. Currently trying Cult Master, but maybe Overflow is the way to go. Goru is actually just great, he does so much for your lategame pressure. Also a deck for Keeper Stalladris finally.
Galakrond Priest seems....weird. The lack of card draw makes running any combos kind of moot (although I still think going Wretched Reclaimer + Grave Rune with the added discount from Fate Weaver is the best idea). The Hero power is just pretty crazy late game as it turns you into basically Deathstalker Rexxar except your deck is loaded with removal. Healing is a bit of an issue, but Sandhoof Waterbearers or Khartut could help (with the aforementioned Wretched Reclaimer and Grave Rune combo)
Sad to say Desert Obelisk is not an unbeatable win conditions, you all must be heartbroken.
Galakrond Warrior is really weird. I treid going control with big taunts, which isn't bad, but the Galakrond turn itself is impossibly slow. He's practically unplayable before fully upgrading because you need the claw to at least get some kind of tempo. If you do play him and live however, he's crazy good. Most decks can't deal with 7/10 Tomb Wardens or even just a 5/6 Eternium Rover. Maybe going tempo galakrond is better and just try to get some chargers from the battlecry to finish your opponent next turn.
Played against one Pirate Warrior, thought I beat him, but the weapon spam (and my lack of non-face removal) eventually got me killed. Still not convinced about that deck, it seems incredibly draw dependant and if you don't get a crazy Skybarge turn you basically rely on being able to sm0rc your opponent down with weapons and Leeroy.
Anyways, share your stories so we can all get a better picture of what'S going on out there.
:( I was very unlucky this time. Crushed my morale a lot..
140 packs:
6 legendaries +1 gooden from pre order.
27 normal + 2 golden epics.
I've got 6 Hunter epic weapon! What is the probability of finding same epic 6 times!
I think the time that you started opening your packs is effecting which cards to be found and your chance of finding legendaries.
Whatever one of my worst pack openings in my entire HS history (in numbers my luck is average but the legendaries I've found are not the good ones. In that part I was unlucky) ..
It's pretty counter-intuitive but unlike Shield of Galakrond, which you get upon logging in as advertised, to unlock your Galakronds you have to go to the pack-opening section. There your screen will freeze up for a bit and then a chest will appear much like at the end of the month for your ranked rewards.
They probably should have added some sort of gleam or animation to the opening packs button to make this all a bit more obvious.
that's pretty huge actually. Not big enough to make Questing worth running in any deck with sidequests, but a huge boost for any quest deck that also runs sidequests (like Quest Hunter)
My problem it's the entire face, it has a weird feeling about it, like not only the nose, but the look he has it's weird, ike he's confused by something. The body and the pose are ok, the face is not the place with that portrait, 100% wouldn't smorc.

This is so much fun, meme in my hands but wait until we see someone good get hold of this idea.
DoD First Impressions Thread
I haven't hit ladder but my buddies have and they all say the same thing: quest Galakrond shaman is game-breakingly OP.
I'm hoping that opinion changes by the time I get to play later tonight.
Group Therapy! Need to blow off some steam? Mega salty? Here's the place!
So even on night one of an expansion people want to play tier 1 aggro decks in casual vs people who can actually afford cards.
Can you just take a night off and be annoying to someone else for a change

So far, I've only had a chance to play 5 games of Quest Galakrond Shaman. I'll copy over my first thoughts from the guide.
Quest to Unleash the Tempest
Faceless Corruptor is broken (save you extra copies of this one lads. This card is going to get nerfed. 10/8 in stats on T5 is ridiculous. If your opponent leaves a single minion on the board for you on T4, the game is over)
Dragonmaw Poacher is going to make this a Big Game Hunter meta

Dragon's Pack is very powerful, but so far, I think it's good at running only 1 copy.
Mutate continues to be problematic. There are more good targets for it now too. Try and hit: Mogu Fleshshaper (obviously), Nithogg or Corrupt Elementalist

the average is 20 and the pity timer is 40, so you actually got very lucky.

Share some luck .. I got 4 legendaries from 107 packs...

So is something wrong with the packs?
I just got 7 legendarys (2 golden) (without the Galas and the demon) out of 58 packs?!
that averages under 10 packs per legendary.

Man that is just AWFUL! I got 4 legendarys (including the one from 10 packs) with only around 35 packs.
I hope your luck improves.
