Until we see the other Warrior cards, I have to give this a 3-star marking and leave it at "could be good, could be bad". One assumes now that they're planning to print more Pirates, but who knows what archetype they might fit into. Traditional Aggro Pirate? Something slower? Pirates mixed with Galakrond, the Unbreakable? This weapon just came out of nowhere.
Right now control priests are using Forbidden Words and I can see this straight up replacing it even outside of Galakrond decks.
Galakrond, the Unspeakable could very well support a late game value/control Priest, and this card would be hugely important to that archetype. Assassinate + a random priest minion is excellent, will have to see how all the other Invoke cards pan out.
So this card could be extremely difficult to actually guess correctly.
I believe it was confirmed that the two wrong choices will pull from a pool of cards which are in the opponents deck, but not in hand. This could make it extremely difficult to correctly guess the card in hand, and because of this I don't think this will see any play like Curious Glimmerroot did.
Really nice solid stat-line that Priest will love.
Being able to activate the battlecry is obviously going to be a huge power play, and I do predict a control Galakrond Priest being a powerful deck in the meta. Very powerful card. Could also be very useful with the new card Dragon Breeder.
A good early removal is what Priest has been missing. Waiting to turn 5 for Mass Hysteria has been a struggle. Wild Dragon Priest lists will not complain about this addition either.
It's REAL strong, synergies well with that new hero quest, and if you put Dire Frenzy on this thing you can gaurantee drawing a rush minion every time you smack one of these bad boys down
Ancharrr
standard bad wild good
New Neutral Minion - Kobold Stickyfinger
Late to the game, but it will still be useful if something as ugly as Kingsbane rears its head in the future.
Pirate Card Reveal - Kobold Stickyfinger
Best weapon removal tech you could imagine
New Neutral Minion - Dread Raven
add in some Ramkahen Wildtamer, Hunting Party, and Scarlet Webweaver and you have a OTK.
Transmogrifier
yeah memes
New Priest Spell - Breath of the Infinite
Volcanic Potion that can turn into a cheaper, albeit not complete Consecration. Seems like a solid card to me.
Diving Gryphon
looks fun

New Neutral Minion - Transmogrifier
Big bucks, no whammies....yeah, this card is way too RNG-reliant for my tastes. I'm sure we'll see it combo'd with Plot Twist for maximum meme-ry.

New Hunter Minion - Diving Gryphon
It's Shadow Bolt, but it can draw another Shadow Bolt (or some other damage spell Rush minion). That's pretty sweet.
Diving Gryphon

Transmogrifier
Ah yes, I drew my win condtion!
aaannd now it's a Nat Pagle, GG no REGURTS
this is a very memey card.
Ancharrr
I guess you could throw in the shark fin fan? Since you're planning on attacking with this thing anyway, it's an additional 3/3 that draws a minion
Breath of the Infinite
Don't forget the wild support dragon priest has. An additional board clear for them is pretty nuts
New Neutral Minion - Dread Raven
Good arena card I suppose.
Pirate Card Reveal - Kobold Stickyfinger
Kingsbane is dead with this card. 🤣👍
Dread Raven
Well found the reason the Rogue Legendary was made for.
New Neutral Minion - Dread Raven
Fun but not that good.
Duplicating your own minions/cards usually takes a while.
Maybe they will release another card that can be used more optimally with this?
New Hunter Minion - Dwarven Sharpshooter
Auto include for the rest 15 months. Combines well with hero power removal on turn 2. We will get tired of it.
New Hunter Spell - Corrosive Breath
This card can be compared to many others and it all cases shows insane power level. It may not fit the dragon archetypes though...
New Warrior Weapon - Ancharrr
Not bad, maybe quest warrior with a few pirates in it like captain greenskin and southsea deckhands?
Should already synergize with other weapons you are required to run in the deck.
