Playing this on turn 8 without any other minions is very good for tempo. With other enemy minions on the board it's good as some sort of removal. With Commanding Shout it can clear the entire board to leave at least a 12/1 on the board.
I guess it works with the new handsize legendary but the damage doesn't seem to be enough to effective enough to clear the minions on the board. It can also effect your own minions, which often isn't a good thing.
Comparable to a worse Tunnel Trogg, which has better ability to scale. But the 1/3 body is nice early game with the additional possibility of gaining additional attack to help control the early game board.
Freeze for shaman is pretty bad but the additional rush guy from the hero power is useful for controlling the board more. However, it's not much compare to other invoke card for shaman.
Somewhat comparable for Flamewreathed Faceless except you trade off the 2-attack for 2 spell damage. This is good for additionally controlling the board.
Comparable to Mark of the Lotus, which is insane. This just shows how overpowered that card was back in the time. However, the overload isn't necessary a bad thing for shaman.
With the additional rush minions summoned from the invoke, it's very good for controlling the board. Also good for really upgrading galakrond very fast.
The rush Storms generated from the card is valuable for taking good control of the board. The hero power to generating 2/1 rush is very good with other invoke cards.
I don't have so much gold, neither pre-order. So I will be playing one of the Galakrond decks whichever I got more Invoke cards or Whizbang the Wonderful stuff.
If I can get Dragonqueen Alexstrasza, I will play highlander Paladin or Hunter since I have almost all other aspects of those decks.
Zero cost spells can be dangerous, but this one doesn't have any scalable impact like moonfire. Priest also can't really make use of zero cost spells as much as rogue or druid can do.
Wtf is wrong with you Blizzard ? It was a limited time card-back. So with this way of considering, gaining new players are better than keeping old players in hand ?
Wrong decision. I'm not happy with this reward since im a player who plays this game since beta.
Edit: Ah and don't get me wrong. Im not saying that "how dare you don't give us new stuff!?" it is about exclusiveness. Giving the season 12 card back to players who didn't play at season 12 is wrong in my opinion. That's rude to the players who played in season 12. They "gained" it by playing in that season. Now they are giving this achievement to everyone.
your examples are not related with this situation. All of your examples effects the gameplay and GoW3 example is game itself.
It is a paid product without a time restriction. They didn't say they were exclusive products in release.
If you click for example Power Core cardback, you can see a sentence like "acquired from attending approved eSports event" or Frost Knight cardback iy is "Acquired from achieving Rank 20 in Ranked Play, September 2017" which are mean "You can't acquire Power Core unless you are being attended approved eSports event" or "You can't obtain Frost Knight unless you achieved Rank 20 in Ranked Play, September 2017"
So it is a time restriction, Those sentences are setting an exclusivity. They didn't set an exclusivity to wild cards before or GoW3 game before.
So, I would like to craft golden Elite Tauren Chieftain now but i can't. Guess why? There is a restriction, they gave it at Blizzcon 2013. I couldn't go Blizzcon 2013 because I am living in a different country. But I'm not begging them to activate it again. I know how it feels to have an exclusive item and i know it will be injustice to players who gets it in Blizzcon 2013.
They should have created a different version of the Ragnaros cardback for my feels. It is about what I feel, It isn't about the cardback itself, that cardback isn't even visually good. I don't care which cardback it is, I care about its exclusivity and how they tricked me by saying it is only acquireable by playing ranked in march 2015. maybe I could have played something else in that month, or I could have spent my time something else, Maybe I liked that card back so much and I renounced something else to be able to get that card back. They never know, You never know.
What I call injustice and rude is this. They stole my time.
Ah and try it in real life. Go buy a necklace for your girlfriend, and say that only she deserves that necklace, And buy 1 more and give it someone else as a gift. Make your girlfriend see that and experience what she feels.
It is worse now. Because they are giving the fucking Tyrande. They don't even consider to make new version of her to keep older Tyrande's exclusivity and giving us( who already has Tyrande) nothing !
I still think like that. Fuck you Blizzard.
I am not buying anything from you anymore (except diablo 4 maybe lol.).
They keep forgetting the old players. What did they do last time for older players ? NOTHING !

Although it doesn't trigger any battlecries and its power is dependent on what the opponent played last turn, it has high potential to turn the game around pretty fast. I see this being run in some sort of control priest for additional board and value generation.
Twice, I got two Legendaries in a row. I've never had back to back legendaries before, let alone twice in an xpac. With 9100 Gold yet to spend, and 2 free golden legendaries to come, I have a good start to my collection with...
I think in wild adding this to odd paladin can be pretty powerful sometimes—comparable to the time [Hearthstone Card (Never Surrender) Not Found] was added to the deck against early game board removals. This is more controlled by the player itself, which means the card can be used with more optimization.
Deathwing, Mad Aspect
Playing this on turn 8 without any other minions is very good for tempo. With other enemy minions on the board it's good as some sort of removal. With Commanding Shout it can clear the entire board to leave at least a 12/1 on the board.
Dark Skies
I guess it works with the new handsize legendary but the damage doesn't seem to be enough to effective enough to clear the minions on the board. It can also effect your own minions, which often isn't a good thing.
Rain of Fire
Doesn't seem too affective as some sort of mini-clearing for warlock as they already have other methods of clearing. Pretty useless.

More squares pls ! :D
Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Final Reveal #2
About Living Dragonbreath, it was confirmed on reddit by one of the devs that it immediately unfreezes our minions on the board.
Remember ROS meta, when CC mages used to freeze our board while developing giants? He would be a good inclusion back then.
Surging Tempest
Comparable to a worse Tunnel Trogg, which has better ability to scale. But the 1/3 body is nice early game with the additional possibility of gaining additional attack to help control the early game board.
Invocation of Frost
Freeze for shaman is pretty bad but the additional rush guy from the hero power is useful for controlling the board more. However, it's not much compare to other invoke card for shaman.
Squallhunter
Somewhat comparable for Flamewreathed Faceless except you trade off the 2-attack for 2 spell damage. This is good for additionally controlling the board.
What deck will you be playing on release?
Miracle Rogue. Let all the 0 cost cards and shuffling shenanigans begin
Storm's Wrath
Comparable to Mark of the Lotus, which is insane. This just shows how overpowered that card was back in the time. However, the overload isn't necessary a bad thing for shaman.
Corrupt Elementalist
With the additional rush minions summoned from the invoke, it's very good for controlling the board. Also good for really upgrading galakrond very fast.
Dragon's Pack
Even without the fully invoked value of the card, total of 4/6 stats with taunt is pretty good. With the invoke value, it's a lot of stats for 5 mana.
Galakrond, the Tempest
The rush Storms generated from the card is valuable for taking good control of the board. The hero power to generating 2/1 rush is very good with other invoke cards.
Bloodsail Flybooter
Comparable to Fire Fly but with lower stats for its cost. The pirate synergy is nice. Possibly run in wild odd rogue as small minion generation.

15/10 review on Grizzled Wizard
If there was an upvote button, I would upvote it to heavens.
What deck will you be playing on release?
I don't have so much gold, neither pre-order. So I will be playing one of the Galakrond decks whichever I got more Invoke cards or Whizbang the Wonderful stuff.

Whispers of EVIL
Zero cost spells can be dangerous, but this one doesn't have any scalable impact like moonfire. Priest also can't really make use of zero cost spells as much as rogue or druid can do.
Disciple of Galakrond
A pretty aggressive card for priest, which also generates value. Could be a nice addition to a more tempo style of priest deck.
About Tyrande's coming back and The value Blizzard gives older players( WARNING: SALT THREAD ! )
Do you remember this post of mine with 121 downvotes ?
It is worse now. Because they are giving the fucking Tyrande. They don't even consider to make new version of her to keep older Tyrande's exclusivity and giving us( who already has Tyrande) nothing !
I still think like that. Fuck you Blizzard.
I am not buying anything from you anymore (except diablo 4 maybe lol.).
They keep forgetting the old players. What did they do last time for older players ? NOTHING !
Grave Rune
Somewhat comparable to making the minion a Carnivorous Cube itself or a more controlled by delayed version of Conjurer's Calling, which is pretty good
