Poor Soggoth the Slitherer, power creep hit him very hard in shape of this common dragon. Combination of big stats, taunt, untargetable and dragon can push him even to constructed play. In arena it's of course nuts.
Although I think the Mechwarper nerf would be more fair to that specific deck, it would eventually kill other mech decks (mostly the Hunter and Paladin aggro decks). So, in the end, I think this solution was the best!
I'm so thrilled to see the next wild meta without that broken shit!!
The next wild meta will just be what it was before people discovered Sn1p-Sn4p warlock: secret mages all over the place with a side of mech paladin.
At least those decks aren't as painful to play against as warlock, I guess.
Yes! They are OP, but not broken, hence, they can be countered!
Also, we got a new expansion coming, so maybe people will figure out some decks to make the meta more diverse (I just hope that no other broken combo isn't discovered soon)...
Presumably this is coming about because of Chinese laws against loot boxes being purchasable with real money. I think up til now Blizzard had adopted the "Buy something, get packs as a gift" model that League of Legends uses in China. This seemingly allows for packs as a more direct purchase.
There will be experimenting with this, but I think most serious decks will eventually drop it. It's a great card to have fun with, but it depends a lot about what deck your opponent is playing.
There might be something really good about this HP.
Think about it: - they said they might HoF Divine Spirit and/or Inner Fire, so Priest will finally be able to get good minions without worrying about this combo. - when the rotation hits, they will have a clean(er) slate to make new better minions for Priest and the pool won't be corrupted by old ones

Super sweet card in dragon decks. It's crazy, but this if better Zola the Gorgon for dragons. And you can have two of them at once! Another staple card for every dragonmaster.
This card messes with highlander decks and deathrattle aspect can be easily abused to fill your opponent's deck with worthless junk, but history learn us that this is not good enough to be pulled out outside of wierd fringe decks.
You see, the difference between this and Curious Glimmerroot, Madame Lazul and Chameleos is that those guys always (or almost always, if we're talking about Glimmerroot) give you a card, not just info on your opponent. This 3 out of 4 times doesn't. I really don't understand why it can't look at a card from hand and any 2 random cards, like Curious Glimmerroot, since that would be a completely fair powercreep and it's not like they haven't powercreeped any cards this expansion.
It looks interesting, but that's it. There's some mindgames included if you play it on an empty board to mess with your opponent's head (should I play my minions or not?), but at that point it falls into the meme category. Depends on the meta most likely.
Much like with how C'Thun worked back in Old Gods, when you open your first pack, a popup will appear afterward granting you the Galakrond cards. It'll actually be 5 separate popups that each reward a different Galakrond.
I don't know, seems weak. Assassinate stopped being good a long time ago, but it still sees play if necessary. I just think Priest already has enough removal for this to work. Galapriest will probably have to run at least one, since Devoted Maniac is most likely horrible there.

New Priest Minion - Murozond the Infinite
There will be experimenting with this, but I think most serious decks will eventually drop it. It's a great card to have fun with, but it depends a lot about what deck your opponent is playing.
Twin Tyrant
Strong arena card, 8 drop in constructed must meet much higher standards.
New Priest Hero - Galakrond, the Unspeakable
There might be something really good about this HP.
Think about it:
- they said they might HoF Divine Spirit and/or Inner Fire, so Priest will finally be able to get good minions without worrying about this combo.
- when the rotation hits, they will have a clean(er) slate to make new better minions for Priest and the pool won't be corrupted by old ones
Eternal - Event: Whispers of the Ancestors
There's a new Event starting today!
Depth Charge
Doomsayer for poor people. Stricly worse, but I'm looking forward to see this generated randomly, it could lead to hilarious moments.

Dragon Breeder
Super sweet card in dragon decks. It's crazy, but this if better Zola the Gorgon for dragons. And you can have two of them at once! Another staple card for every dragonmaster.
New Priest Minion - Mindflayer Kaahrj
It reminds me of Gral, the Shark a bit since in theory, it has good stats and ability, but it won't see any play.
Bad Luck Albatross
This card messes with highlander decks and deathrattle aspect can be easily abused to fill your opponent's deck with worthless junk, but history learn us that this is not good enough to be pulled out outside of wierd fringe decks.

Why would you feel sad? Card is still good... this minor nerf is like minor for very specific wild deck.

I actually ment a Legendary Dragón... But May be wrong seeing all this reactions
New Priest Minion - Fate Weaver
Crazy, but in a good way. This might be the card that makes Galapriest playable if there's a good combo to do, and there probably will be.
New Priest Minion - Envoy of Lazul
You see, the difference between this and Curious Glimmerroot, Madame Lazul and Chameleos is that those guys always (or almost always, if we're talking about Glimmerroot) give you a card, not just info on your opponent.
