This card looks very powerful. Even if you are not able to resummon it immediately, you are getting a 5 mana 7/5. It has synergie with rogues deathrattle cards like Necrium Blade and Necrium Vial. It goes great with Galakrond, the Nightmare and other card draw cards. And with cards like Candle Breath, It might even create some dragon rogue decks.
This Galakrond seems to be the most flexible compared to the others. The rogue invoke cards don't really push you in a single archetype like Galakrond, the Wretched. You can go for Tempo, Combo, Value or maybe even control. I wonder how this will affect the state of rogue.
Fuck this Meta right now. I should have never preorder the next expansion for blizz putting that shit IQ40 SNM Evolve back into standard. And I hope they fucking destroy the Mogu Flesheater.
This seems especially useful as a refill once you're in Galakrond mode, as you lose Life Tap. Drawing cards is rarely bad, but it tends to be less valuable for Warlock under normal circumstances.
I appreciate BG a great deal; I was kind of burnt out on regular HS. That said, I hope they'll implement some sort of rotation system for the cards because I can already see the game becoming really stale really quick if the only thing that changes is the roster of available heroes.
so since we now have confirmation that all the cards shown are actually from the opponent's deck, this is basically useless.
You can't actually predict what they will have in hand, and if you pick wrong you'll still have to guess the 50/50 to figure out which card they actually have in hand.
And even if you do all that, what's the point? Priest doesn't play the midrange game where they would have to play around removal or boardclears.
This could actually be the defining "win condition" for Galakrond Warlock.
Assuming that we get at least 2 more solid invokers you can play a swarm/token/sacrifice focussed deck by abusing the Hero power throuhg Invoking and using this as a way to keep up with tempo and ressources. It also makes playing Spirit of the Bat more attractive as you get to refill your hand with stuff to buff.
this might be the centerpiece of the Galakrond-lock...not actually the big guy himself
I'd rather concede into all the Shamans and Priests than play a gamemode that takes half a century to finish and the winner is determined by who gets the biggest Amalgam
Congratulations! :) I like BG a lot. Certainly a breath of fresh air in current state of the game. Im looking forward to the new set, but i hope they keep focusing on BG as well. They seem to be so far, hope its not just cause its still in beta and once its fully released, the updates will come much more slowly.
I think the times in this mode are sometimes too short or too long not in between, specially latter turns sometimes you cycle like 10 battle cries in one turn and sometimes you buy 3 units and quickly place them or just tavern up I think I would rather have extra turn time rather than too little though..
Or you know
... Cut the animation time!!! Idk how people even play this on mobile..
Getting those extra seconds early don't matter, but late game they are very valuable.. So maybe if you know you need to do a long turn.. Add a "speed up" button
Agreed, they need to do something about the animations. I believe they already said they would, but dont know if i remember it correctly.
@OP: yes, i believe that if you finish quickly, you are already in the Tavern Phase while someone else might still be in Combat Phase. You can clearly see this by tavern tiern upgrade icons poping up on the sidebar or making a triple minion at other player's portraits. That is also why you sometimes have a very long turn, because you are waiting for someone to finish their combat and only then the timer for Tavern Phase begins imho.
Does it give you more time to snatch some minions over your opponent? Maybe. But i dont think its a problem in the long run. There is a lot of RNG and strategy involved in how and when you get to some specific minions and it is usually more influenced by how quickly can you Tier up than if you can finish match a few seconds earlier.
One thing im not sure about, but i think it does work is, if you freeze minions in your Tavern Phase, that essentially locks them, for you (obviously), but they are also temporarily removed from the Minion Pool for your opponens. At least iv never had it happen to me that i would lock a board and one of those minions was missing the next turn.
New Rogue Minion - Umbral Skulker
A strong effect with ok stats. For now the invoke cards seem good and easy enough to be able to activate this on turn 4.
New Rogue Minion - Waxadred
This card looks very powerful. Even if you are not able to resummon it immediately, you are getting a 5 mana 7/5. It has synergie with rogues deathrattle cards like Necrium Blade and Necrium Vial.

This card has a lot of potential.
New Rogue Hero - Galakrond, the Nightmare
This Galakrond seems to be the most flexible compared to the others. The rogue invoke cards don't really push you in a single archetype like Galakrond, the Wretched. You can go for Tempo, Combo, Value or maybe even control. I wonder how this will affect the state of rogue.

No, but not a bad guess.
If I need to I can add a hint, maybe just putting song lyrics wasn't as cool an idea as I thought it would be.

I don't know what meta you're playing but neither N'zoth Rogue nor Sarthrovarr Druid are particularly strong right now.

Dragon's Hoard
Huh? Pilfer is trash tier and it still sees play in Thief Rogue. And this is worlds better than Pilfer
Nozdormu the Timeless
Curves perfectly with Call to Adventure.
Could lead to a lot of polarized match ups if opponent is not prepared to get full advantage of 10 mana play on turn 5
Envoy of Lazul
Don't see it being viable without further Steal Priest support, but its basically a better Blink Fox so I guess its not terrible.
(Edit: I hope the card pool is drawn from opponents deck, and not from random cards)
Meta Breaker - Evolution is Just a Theory
inb4 Shaman gets another Evolve spell
Meta Breaker - Evolution is Just a Theory
of course it's a Priest deck
you're a cheeky one, aren't you?
Shu'ma
Classes which can consistently defend the 1/7 body could make use of this
Its a must-remove for Quest Hunter opponents.
Are the tentacles beasts, by the way?
Secure the Deck
Not bad. Can't wait to see the Gonk memes with this :P

I’m just gonna go ahead and guess Primordial Drake
