This card is offensively good. It's exactly what Galakrond decks needed and if I don't pull it I'm crafting. Golden. Because this Badass Tauren deserves the best.
This card is just insane. All 4 Devastation effects are strong and flexible. Drawing Galakrond in a Galakrond deck is a no brainer. If there is a competitive Galakrond deck, this card will see play.
I just hope that Galakrond decks don't end up being an "add all the good Galakrond/invoke cards" since this card is an auto include for those decks. I don't want a repete of C'Thun decks with Twin Emperor Vek'lor. Those decks ended being rather stale to make since the neutral C'thun cards were all about buffing C'thun and the class cards supporting C'thun didn't add much to your strategy except for Hooded Acolyte, Usher of Souls and Cult Sorcerer that did try but ended up not having enough support to change the tempo style of C'thun decks.
Either way, this card is amazing and we should still have a bunch of invoke cards to be revealed that can make Galakrond decks more creative.
So I made post about this a couple days ago without knowing about this thread. I have supported OOC with Patreion since its founding (a measly $2/mo) and glad I do. Nice to be able to block adds without the software.
I may not have learned to link accts without this thread so I hope its well known for others.
If you don't see how busted this card is you're blind. This isn't a control tool its just a good card. Playing aggro? Its a 6 mana 7/6 that lets you trade well or sets up a defensive/racing Explosive Trap or Unleash the Hounds. You just play this on curve and yes, your opponent can trade their board for it, but they also kind of have to, because it makes it too dangerous not to, since you can easily wipe them back. Its kind of like Sylvanas but way better if you're ahead on board. It lets you chump past Taunts and is a fine tempo minion with a very relevant typing. This seems totally insane to me.
A nice one not only for mech decks, but for any aggro/buff decks. And if you manage to stick it on the board (with magnetizing mechs or buffs) it will require a hard removal just after a few turns.
Ok already have my autocraft decided! There's no way none of the Galakrond decks make it to the meta with the free Galakronds, and this looks like an autoinclude for these decks
I kind of hate this card. I mean its good don't get me wrong, but it does something that I don't think the game needs. I mean its kind of like a C'Thun enabler but with a bunch of upside if you're already played your game winning card. I guess the second half of this might not be that important if you are thinking that the majority of the time once you resolve Galakrond you probably win. That said, its a crazy card that does something strong no matter how you play it. As having a second copy of Galakrond that also fits perfectly into your curve seems goofy.
That's what Hunters needed - a way to deal with those pesky late game big minions, because DK Rexxar and his horde of poisonous minions are no longer in standard and Hunters mark is soooo expensive and Frozen trap soooo unreliable.
Doesn't have the power level of Zephrys the Great but its really near, he can give you face damage, heal, board buff, board clear and big taunt body... Simply OP.
Kronx Dragonhoof - Reno decks have Kazakus (and Zephrys the Great), C'Thun decks have Twin Emperor Vek'lor and Galakrond decks have this bad boy: this is how good Kronx Dragonhoof is. If you're playing Tempo/Aggro and you want to capitalize your Invokes on curve there you go, 6 into 7; if you want to go Control or you're in the late game then this card allows you remarkable flexibility: board presence, removal, reach or buff. This will be one of the must have cards in the next expansion and, of course, most of Galakrond's success will come from Kronx. Meta Defining 5/5
Veranus - considering Boulderfist Ogre as comparison, it's quite aggressively statted. The synergy with Unleash the Hounds (and Explosive Trap to a minor extent) is pretty obvious. There might even be a neat combo with Dragonmaw Scorcher if a Dragon Galvanizer will be printed, but we don't know yet. The card is not bad, but what does it provide for Hunter? It clearly encourages some for of Control/Midrange deck, but will there be enough support for this effect to be worth including? Let's see ?/5
Camouflaged Dirigible - Neat effect: looks like Team 5 prefers to play with Stealth instead of giving it eternally to new minions (Coppertail Imposter, Spirit of the Dead). 6 mana is a lot for Mech Hunter: if you want to set up lethal you may as well use those crystals to HP your opponent or to play other mechs. I think this cards will be nice if generated from random effects, but it seems too expensive to be included in an actual list. Someone highlighted the stupid synergy with Sniplock, but let's say we leave Wild alone crying in a corner while we tend our own wounds, am I right? On a side note, I love the art. 2,5/5
Hot Air Balloon - Nice 1 drop, will grow if left by itself and therefore will provide more than one value trade. It's a mech, so Glow-Tron is a good followup and it is a worthy target for Micro Mummy's buffs. It has synergy with Magic Carpet, but I guess we can say it about any 1 drop that looks at least decent. Will see play and, how knows, maybe we'll grow up hating it. Interesting Battlegrounds 1 star card by the way. 3/5
Edit: I just ended writing my comment and I started scrolling down to read what the other users had to say about these reveals. I find it funny that another guy took C'Thun as a comparison. Well played my friend!
The effect here is really interesting, but the timing of its release is a bit weird. When Boomsday Project rotates this will need way more stuff to have any impact in standard, though there is a lot of fun stuff going on with it in Wild at least. The cost is thankfully high so that its not totally abusive.
I'd need to see the whole set to know exactly how good this card is but being able to discount cards in your hand by 2 mana each has to enable some disgusting combos. Like, that start's getting to the point where you can pair velen with holy fire for deal 10 heal for 20.
This card is pretty insane. Someone please correct me on this if I ma wrong but I am pretty sure you will be able to discover the devastation you want to unleash. This sort of gives him a similar role to Zephrys the Great, do you want lethal? do you want a board clear? do you want a bigger board? Kronx Dragonhoof can do so much, and he is also able to tutor our Galakrond, so you can play Kronx on turn 6, then Galakrond on the very next turn.
Without a doubt this card will be played in every deck using Galakrond, and this is also another great reason to want to play galakrond decks.
Assassinate that generates value, yea, that's good. Obvious autoinclude if Galakrond priest works. Only downside is it means a res package is likely not going to work, but that was already the case for priest Galakrond anyways.
If this wasn't a Mech or some other minion type it would probably be way worse, but as it goes, a 1/2 mech with an ability like this has a lot of potential because of buffs and magnetic. I think this will end up being a surprisingly frightening minion in Priest for obviously reasons, and potentially Paladin because of all the buff access.
If hearthstone has taught me anything it's never underestimate cheap spells. Given the number of dragons that will be available it looks like this could be a perfect addition to singleton paly with a dragon package, I will definitely be trying that out.
since it is dragon expansion, I would expect a dragon legendary each class set judging from currently revealed cards. I have high hopes for Dragon Lock to be a thing.
we might get a demon legendary too as we wait for it's reveal.
The hype is getting real for warlock.
So I do believe this card will do major favor for us warlocks
Camouflaged Dirigible
I know right. This is incredibly broken in snip snap warlock too. Great job blizz!

OTKish potential :D

I think that every aggro deck will play this when Dire Mole and other 1 drops rotates.

New Neutral Minion - Camouflaged Dirigible
After seeing this card I am somehow happy that Boomsday is rotating in about 4 months.
And no, I don't want to go to wild for now.

I kind of hate this card. I mean its good don't get me wrong, but it does something that I don't think the game needs.

New Neutral Minion - Kronx Dragonhoof
Awesome tutor and it even does not lose it's usefulness if you have already drew Galakrond. A must for every Galakrond deck.
Waxadred
My first deck on day one of the expansion is going to have the sole goal of summoning as many of these things as possible with every draw.
Can't wait =)

New Neutral Minion - Hot Air Balloon
That's what I'm thinking: it's a minion for Battlegrounds, and they shipped it to Constructed because they had space.
The card is fine, but I don't believe it to be anything spectacular; a sleeper that remains asleep because no one bothers to wake it up.
Sand Breath
If hearthstone has taught me anything it's never underestimate cheap spells. Given the number of dragons that will be available it looks like this could be a perfect addition to singleton paly with a dragon package, I will definitely be trying that out.
New Warlock Minion - Crazed Netherwing
since it is dragon expansion, I would expect a dragon legendary each class set judging from currently revealed cards. I have high hopes for Dragon Lock to be a thing.
we might get a demon legendary too as we wait for it's reveal.
