This is a strong Galakrond, with a good effect, good Hero Power and above average Invokers. The only problem this deck can have is the competition it faces from Quest Shaman and the new variants of Aggro, Overload and Dragon Shaman.
OOOH Tyrande for free? Why, thank you Blizzard! I guess this makes up for the lack of a free hero earlier in the year.
Interesting changes to Battlegrounds, I'm glad they are listening to feedback! Oh, and all the new heroes are super broke too... hoo boy. I am particularly worried about the new murloc tho. It adds more consistency to murlocs, an already strong archetype. Although, if you reach tavern 5 with a Murloc based build, I guess you were already going to win anyway.
And what do they mean by 35 new cards for the Galakrond adventure? Are they going to add more cards post launch? Its official, T5 is off their rocker this year. For better or for worse. Also, Team E.V.I.L all the way!
since it does it twice you could cut another invoker for one of these seeing the shaman glakrond makes up for its stat line since you get the rushers with it
So apparently adding Rush to a common card makes it a DoD common.
Reminds me of Restless Mummy, seems powerful. People seem to forget you don't have to attack with this when you play it. Just buff it the next turn and go face. As if wild Mechadin wasn't too much already.
Just realized that each class has just 2 invoke cards... That means that (excluding for randomly generated invoke cards) you must put 2x of each of them if you want to bring Galakron to full power. Ouch... This card is bad.
So with zentimo you can clear an entire board and without him, you can still clear about half a board this is a bonkers card that I can see being run even without the dragon boost
I don't like aggro so I don't really like this card it's like a worse mark of the lotus that procs shaman's other overload effects which is nice. I expect to see this but not a lot
Well it works nicely with moorabi since you can get him and this out on the same turn easily although I the stall and summons is nice since it adds more control and I'm kind of glad that it isn't a damage spell just a stalling one.
Pretty self-explanatory: now that the new Full Stats screen has been unveiled, take a screenshot of your fancy Battlegrounds stats, and share it with us! How many wins do you have? What's your biggest minion ever created?
Here're mine:
I haven't played much, as you can see, but I have been fairly successful nevertheless. Not a champion at the game, but I'm happy with my 5000 rating.

Wild Card Packs and Sn1p-Lock Nerf? That's crazy!
I hope this'll give Wild a much needed boost in popularity.

Wing Commander
This is the pack filler of the expansion. no serious deck would want to run this.

Me next! Looks like you've got me beat link. I've played 40% longer than you but only 30% more wins, GG!

They do care about wild, in the end!!
I'm so glad these things are happening!
I'm really hyped to see many new archetypes (and players) coming to the wild side!!
New Shaman Minion - Surging Tempest
Not as reliable as the other 2/3 - 3/2 wannabe 1 mana cost minions.
New Shaman Spell - Invocation of Frost
Just realized that each class has just 2 invoke cards... That means that (excluding for randomly generated invoke cards) you must put 2x of each of them if you want to bring Galakron to full power. Ouch... This card is bad.
New Shaman Spell - Lightning Breath

New Neutral Minion - Evasive Wyrm
I really like the overall style, it's cool and simple, yet powerful. Sure, it won't see much serious play, but it's still a good card to get randomly.
New Shaman Minion - Squallhunter
-2 attack, +2 spell power, same threat. This bad boy gives me chills...
New Shaman Spell - Storm's Wrath
I don't like aggro so I don't really like this card it's like a worse mark of the lotus that procs shaman's other overload effects which is nice. I expect to see this but not a lot
New Shaman Spell - Storm's Wrath
Seems like murlocs keep getting scarier and scarier...
Hearthstone Update - December 5th Patch Notes (Battlegrounds Updates, New Cards in January, the Return of Tyrande and More!)
Wow the death of SN1P-SN4P warlock was unexpected! No complaints here!
Finally a Hunter skin that I actually want to use! Never thought I'd purchase just a skin, but I'm buying the shit out of Sylvanas!
Scalerider
Solid tempo play. Can go face. Doesnt need to combo. Must include.
New Shaman Spell - Dragon's Pack
So cool! Hope this is not going to be too pretending. How hard will be to invoke 2 times before turn 5?
New Shaman Spell - Invocation of Frost
Well it works nicely with moorabi since you can get him and this out on the same turn easily although I the stall and summons is nice since it adds more control and I'm kind of glad that it isn't a damage spell just a stalling one.

Anyone else unable to use Sathrovarr? Says the card is not yet released so I can't put him in a deck.
New Shaman Hero - Galakrond, the Tempest
Not as good as rogue's and priest's Galakrond, but definitely worth it. And, most important, will be free =)
New Neutral Minion - Platebreaker (Armor Destruction)
I'm starting to think one of the higher ranking Hearthstone developers is actually someone from the custom cards sites. It's getting ridiculous.

Goobye Sn1P Sn4P Warlock!
Sylvanas looks pretty cool.
Awesome that now we can buy wild packs with gold. For players like me that started a year ago this is pretty cool.
New Rogue Minion - Bloodsail Flybooter
This is the only pirate-like card in rogue, so I think it's ok. Nice 1 drop.
