I'd say Shield of Galakrond is one of the strongest invoke cards right now. 4-5 body with taunt for 5 mana is OK but invoke makes it very strong IMO. I assume it should see play in any Galakrond deck.
It's something we all think but didn't get actual confirmation the current hs meta (not bg) is bad and shaman is 27.9% of the meta is shaman (source vicious syndicate Nov 14 meta report)
Which is NOT a healthy meta.. And the solution is EASY to retire evolve or the whole wild set early, team 5 knows it but doesn't do it.. Why?
The theory is 2 reasons:
1. To promote battle grounds
2. To make it so players have less gold toward the expansion.
Don't see most hs streamers playing normal hs anymore and I can see why...
Dunno about you but the scheme is working and is really annoying that they don't act or communicate about actual hs since hs bg came out suppously because of the above reasons.
Evasive Drakonid looks good for decks which can buff him somehow. It might fit in warrior Galakrond deck or dragon paladin if those archetypes will exist. Anyway it's a nice card to try at the expansion start.
Really looking forward to try this one out. Have been playing aggro warrior most of last expansion (lack of interest in anything else) and it was a solid tier 2 deck I believe. Having this addition, with hopefully some good invoke support, will be mad :-)!
A strong dragon for arena as said before. I don't think it will bу played in constructed because It's too slow for an aggro matchup and not that useful against contol decks IMO. But it'll nice to get Twin Tyrant from discover.
The comparison to Onyxia is unfair, the difference between a 7 cost minion and 9 cost minion is HUGE:
1.it comes live 2 turn early.
2. You can play up to a 3 cost card/hero power on the same turn.
7 mana cards are the middle ground for a late game minion they can still be a slow card with no immediate impact specially cause you can do more on their turn on higher mana costs as I stated on my 2nd point.
Now a 1/7 is terrible but can be buffed.
Also the card doesn't get played in a void you play as an aggressive token/swarm deck so your opponent is intensified to destroy most of your tokens they might not have the aoe to deal with it anymore, this card is a refill after a brawl/warpath/flamestrike/earthquake. Etc..
VS a token deck you Have to deal with the 1/1s and the 1/7. Or else the board will be full next turn as well.
I guess it will be very annoying to deal with Shu'ma if it'll ever be played. Tokens and a 7 health body will be hard to clear in 1 turn. Hard to say if this card willll see play but there some potentian intractions. One more decent card for arena.
A card that’ll either end up being entirely useless because Galakrond decks aren’t good enough, or will be one of the most threatening cards in the deck
Warriors already had dragons from previous expansions. With more dragon support from this expansion, this card will be auto-include in any control deck with dragons
New Shaman Spell - Lightning Breath
very strong, just waiting for shaman dragons ¿?
New Hunter Spell - Clear the Way
too slow, and no so good
New Neutral Minion - Shield of Galakrond
I'd say Shield of Galakrond is one of the strongest invoke cards right now. 4-5 body with taunt for 5 mana is OK but invoke makes it very strong IMO. I assume it should see play in any Galakrond deck.
New Druid Spell - Secure the Deck
aggro druid? or gonk? i think just for trolden...
Dead meta conspiracy

Odd aggro druid inc.

New Warrior Hero - Galakrond, the Unbreakable
Really looking forward to try this one out. Have been playing aggro warrior most of last expansion (lack of interest in anything else) and it was a solid tier 2 deck I believe. Having this addition, with hopefully some good invoke support, will be mad :-)!

Envoy of Lazul
I have a odd feeling that I've seen this one before...
New Rogue Minion - Umbral Skulker
A card that’ll either end up being entirely useless because Galakrond decks aren’t good enough, or will be one of the most threatening cards in the deck
Corrosive Breath
Well, this card is better than cobra shot for sure. Need dragons to make it work and hunter doesnt seem to have any good dragons to support this yet
Sand Breath
This card is underrated. It's a 1 mana discount for a buff. Maybe dragon paladin will be a buff deck?
Candle Breath
Miracle Rogue is back!!!! Along with the Galakrond cards, there might be a new miracle rogue on the horizon
Dragon's Hoard
As a quest rogue player, this card goes straight into that deck. Good replacement for Pilfer to activate Underbelly Fence
Molten Breath
Warriors already had dragons from previous expansions. With more dragon support from this expansion, this card will be auto-include in any control deck with dragons
Nozdormu the Timeless
Well, big paladin might be a thing with this card. Turn 3 Call to adventure -> Turn 4 Nozdomu -> Turn 5 Tirion
Dragonrider Talritha
Need more dragon support but otherwise really good if dragon paladin is a thing
Envoy of Lazul
Worse version of Curious Glimmerroot but still decent in a control priest deck
Out of Cards Reviews - Descent of Dragons Reveal Season #1
Alright seems fair. Blizzard's wording is often complicated xd
Shu'ma
Decent in any token decks but will not be amazing in them
Secure the Deck
Only good with Gonk if hero power Druid is viable, otherwise it's pretty bad
Clear the Way
Seems so bad as a top-deck but if quest hunter is viable, this card will be in there
