Part of me is drooling, imagining this as a Rogue card. But the sane part of me is curious whether it will be played in Druid. I think we'll certainly see a lot of experimentation - it IS strong. Question is, is there a deck that can be built around it? Not current token. Maybe a new token, dragons, taunts (stats on taunts is good!)... We'll see!
Solid statline for its cost. One could argue that it comes in a little late in the game, but Druid can still ramp. Works really well coming a turn before The Forest's Aid.
Good in the early game with a 2/2, later one you get a taunt. Or you did already complete the quest, then this is 2/4 in stats for 1mana. Playable either way.
Bronze Explorer (5) - Another solid Explorer card. Slightly under statted but high value discover + useful effect in lifesteal.
Cobalt Spellkin (3) - The draw 2 is deceiving. The pool of 1 cost spells is generally weak right now. Likely won't make up the weak body.
EVIL Quartermaster (5) - Mostly a good card. The Lackey pool dilution makes this a bit less consistent, but generally you'll get something pretty good and some healing.
Platebreaker (3) - Fair stats, card to counter standard.
Wyrmrest Purifier (3) - SOME upside for this card, not always, but some. It'll depend how bad your draft is. This potentially can ruin your perfectly constructed deck.
Embiggen (2) - Seems pretty bad. Spend a card and hope to draw into your minions to reap the rewards. Hasn't worked well for other classes that had this type of effect, doubt it will here unless you UI into cards.
Goru the Mightree (5) - Plain Ancient of War with some synergies albeit a bit fringe. Still a great Arena card.
Treenforcements (5) - Usually a 1 mana 2/2, it can be used to trade up or keep yourself alive in the late game. Great card.

Hearthstone's Winter Veil 2019! Returning Card Back + Card Pack Bundle w/ New Druid Hero - Dame Hazelbark
If I didn't associate treants with the elderly, I might have bought this one.
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
This is one o' those cards that's good against aggro, and good for aggro. Which is stronger? We'll find out!
New Warlock Hero - Galakrond, the Wretched
The summoning of the demons can be strong, but could also give you weak minions. hero power is just odd paladin, demon version.

New Neutral Minion - Wyrmrest Purifier
Cute minion - it transforms all bombs and hakkar's blood ;3 (albo albatrosses if they will be played)
New Druid Minion - Goru the Mightree
It's a nice card with a good stats, taunt and a permanent buff for your treants. It's great to see some more support for treant decks.
New Priest Hero - Galakrond, the Unspeakable
seems a little weaker than the others. its at most a board clear for 7-mana, then the hero power is just random. overall a little underwhelming.

Here's the cardback from the 15.6 patch notes:

Here's the cardback from the 15.6 patch notes:
New Warrior Hero - Galakrond, the Unbreakable
I can only imagine what it feels like to draw a tomb warden with this. overall seems like a strong card.
New Druid Minion - Goru the Mightree
Solid statline for its cost. One could argue that it comes in a little late in the game, but Druid can still ramp. Works really well coming a turn before The Forest's Aid.
New Rogue Hero - Galakrond, the Nightmare
uhh, yeah, this card looks really strong, its like that fantastic treasure on steroids, plus it gives rouge some nice value late game.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
this weirdly looks like a strong card. looks hard to kill on a taunt minion.
Hellfire Peninsula
Here's the cardback from the 15.6 patch notes:
New Warlock Minion - Zzeraku the Warped
kinda good, kinda slow, overall looks cool to play with. Kinda weird that its an 8-mana 4/12 but w/e

New Druid Spell - Embiggen
The fact that you are more likely to mulligan this on turn one than Prince Keleseth is insane. (Because you can run 2 of them)
[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Man, I need to start making my riddles harder. You got it!
"I stood where no man goes" is because he has a unique ability. No other card silences a specific tribe.
"but in darkness, I fight" is, as you guessed, because he never saw play. Also because "fight" rhymes with "light".

The cardback is beautiful. I love wooden cardbacks. not gonna buy it though.
Treenforcements
Good in the early game with a 2/2, later one you get a taunt. Or you did already complete the quest, then this is 2/4 in stats for 1mana. Playable either way.
New Druid Spell - Treenforcements
Pretty nice token card since its cheap for Keeper Stalladris.
New Druid Spell - Embiggen
very cromulent card for druid

New Neutral Minion - Twin Tyrant
I really like the idea that both heads of the dragon are shooting fire.
