Dragons are going to be rad though. I wonder which ones they'll be adding and if we'll get a custom dragon. Would be cool if they added a new Deathwing - his current iterations don't exactly work for Battlegrounds.
It might be fun to throw an auctioneer back in for old times sake if you're going to use this. I can see the use for this card (Gonk), but I don't know that I'll be running it until I see more reveals.
Looks like this Galakrond could be very strong in a charge/face warrior deck. And I think it will help to create a strong taunt warrior with Tomb Warden and Armagedillo. Not sure if i like it right now cuz I would have to see new options for control warrior since it will fall down after the new year rotation.
battlegrounds has been the best surprise ive had in HS. just played 2 matches vs mage on ladder they got super lucky with their RNG spells when i had lethal i just said fuck it. not facing shamans and still get screwed by this rng moments. at least in BG things are fair with rng.
its my main mode atm and this dev updates shows how they are into it too
I really am happy with this mode. Super stoked they are focusing hard on it and have a separate team. I give them a lot of credit for trying to make this better almost weekly.
Im guessing they are making a compelling case to not run the quest.... so that we will get more variation in the class opposed to just the one deck it has now.
Considering that both Desert Spear can complete this single handidly it is pretty decent also decent with all Springpaw and Halazzi, the Lynx... so this thingy might see play in Quest hunter.
Devoted Maniac finally makes at least a little bit of sense, because drawing it with Warrior Galakrond is pretty insane, but even before that invoke makes him effectively 5/2 Rush (3 damage of which can go to another target including face)
Don't forget, the hero power is used each time you play a card with invoke. While it my be weak on it's own, it could prove to be a powerful tempo tool throughout the course of a game.

I love them since they'll hit the Amalgams :D

New Neutral Minion - Sathrovarr
Too slow. Maybe a 7-mana is better.
New Neutral Minion - Devoted Maniac
Better make your Galakrond worth it for such a worthless Rush.
New Shaman Spell - Lightning Breath
3-mana 9 damage Dragon Control shaman, as if the murlocs weren't bad enough.
New Warlock Spell - Fiendish Rites
Any 1, 2-cost summons or Imp Scheme deck.
Turn 4 and above better be bulky though.
New Rogue Spell - Candle Breath
Getting closer to 1-turn Chef Nomi draw everday!

New Neutral Minion - Twin Tyrant
Too slow to be much of use late-game. Good against aggro at least.
Taunt would've really boosted this.
New Neutral Minion - Sathrovarr
Very hard to implement the battlecry but if you do it can win you a control matchup IMO. An interesting option which is good to have.

New Priest Minion - Fate Weaver
Seems really slow. Priest cards don't really concern cost.
New Rogue Minion - Umbral Skulker
Edwin, Questing Adventurer, Combos.
Thanks for the free money, Galakrond!
Battlegrounds Devs - Dragons Being Added, Tier 5 King Magurgle, Possible Amalgam Nerfs
Really looking forward to Dragons being added. It's a bit weird that some of the mechs buff Dragons and they aren't (yet) in the game.
Dwarven Sharpshooter
I'm excited for this card. 1/3's are usually busted, but I'm happy for them to be around for a little bit not as a part of the core set.
Breath of Dreams

Secure the Deck
Other than Gonk, the Raptor memes I don't know... I mean I suppose can be also some kind of combo or Gadgetzan Auctioneer fodder

Great News!
Galakrond, the Wretched
Too random. Unreliable for ladder.

Can't wait to have everyone (and me) complain about Druid dominating, but this time with Dragons instead of Taunt and Aggro.
