Little-spell quest mage will be so fun! You play the quest and sidequests, play a bunch of small spells, draw and generate even more spells. Even better with Flamewaker.
Me hungry! You Yummy!!!
This doesn't have to be from small spells though. This into Power of Creation is two 6 drops plus a 6/6. You can likely still play this outside of a casino mage archetype and have it work.
we can compare the invokes from the Galakrond classes we know: Warlock: Summon 2 1/1 imps on board Rogue: Get a random Lackey into your hand Priest: Get a random minion into your hand
Remember, Each "Galakrond invoke" card is also the Hero Power of the classes Galakrond
if you ask me, warlocks Invoke seems pretty good, since you go aggressive/tempo style with those imps before playing Galakrond, and you also gain tempo when you play Galakrond too.
Rogues Galakrond seems pretty bonker when played, making up to 4 drawn cards cost 0 is very good if they didn't cost 0 from the beginning, you will though spend 3 mana to play a lackey from hero power to being played, could be worth it in longer terms. The invoke for rogue is pretty nasty, since you get a lackey for just playing an invoke card.
Priests Galakrond alone is super strong against control/tempo decks for it's minion removals, The hero power is great to generate minions when you need it but you lose the healing ability which could be critical against you. The invoke is okay, Bonkers if you get the right minions, terrible if you get the wrong minions in wrong timing, RNG Fiesta all the way. you can also get hand issues too from invoke/Hero Power.
Mojomaster Zihi leaves you with 4 mana because it removes empty Mana Crystals first, which makes sense. You spend 6 of your 10 available mana, then have 4 left (and in total, 5 Mana Crystals).
Playing Nozdormu the Timeless will cost 4 mana. If you only have 4 when you play it, you'll have none left (and be at 10 Mana Crystals maximum). If you had 5 mana when you played it, you'd be left with 1 mana for the rest of your turn, and so on.
Your opponent will get access to 10 Mana Crystals first. Whether or not that's too big a downside remains to be seen.
Hey, thanks for checking out the deck! There's a lot of people who do that, however, the early game for this deck is very weak and aggro decks are a big threat to it. So those Tar Creepers are very important. Plus Prince Taldaram is usually used to gain more copies of Doomguard, which the deck already does.
Hey, thanks for checking out the deck! Yes it definitely could, however, there's already lots of cards to destroy your eggs. Plus this deck is big on board control. Plague of Flames makes is a bit harder to keep it and is hard to play perfectly with this deck.
Hey, thanks for checking out the deck! The reason I have minions in the deck that have synergy with spells is because of Hagatha the Witch which will give lots of awesome shaman spells. The reason I didn't include Sir Finley is because he would throw off Shudderwock's awesome effect. Also Lorewalker Cho almost always hurts you way more than it helps, plus like you mentioned, the early game is already weak. Finally, Emperor Thaurissan isn't needed since I'm not trying to set up a combo and there are better late game cards. Thank you though for your suggestions!

By the time opponent can play skulking geist, you can already burst them down or at least play most of your 1-cost spells :))
I guess it makes sense, since it's a hero card, and heroes start at 30 health. I don't see why they don't have different stat boards for different card types though. There are only 4, after all. Spells are listed as having 0 attack and 0 health.
Priests "Galakrond Invoke" is good but not broken, it is still random priest minions, could end up with wrong minions that you can't utilize. you can't build around this invoke effect, it is just a RNG Fiesta.
Destroying up to 4 minions is pretty strong for being a battlecry, will struggle against token deck s that can generate multiply minions.

New Warrior Spell - Molten Breath
Actually, that's not Alex. Just a random Red Dragon.
But yeah, it's misleading to see mixed flights in classes, given how they are given an Aspect each... It feels clumsy.
Control: C'Thun Warlock
There's a lot of Warlock decks on my profile. If you want an aggro deck i'd suggest the Zoo archetype. Most control decks are good, so any is fine.
Galakrond, the Nightmare
I guess it makes sense, since it's a hero card, and heroes start at 30 health. I don't see why they don't have different stat boards for different card types though. There are only 4, after all. Spells are listed as having 0 attack and 0 health.
New Priest Hero - Galakrond, the Unspeakable
Priests "Galakrond Invoke" is good but not broken, it is still random priest minions, could end up with wrong minions that you can't utilize. you can't build around this invoke effect, it is just a RNG Fiesta.
Destroying up to 4 minions is pretty strong for being a battlecry, will struggle against token deck s that can generate multiply minions.
Descent of Dragons
According to this https://twitter.com/puffinplays/status/1190742388626427904 evil classes will have 11 cards
New Rogue Hero - Galakrond, the Nightmare
The strongest card of DoD so far in my opinion.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
At first, I misread it as "Elusive Drakonid", which would've been perfect with the effect.
Everything You Need to Know About Descent of Dragons - BlizzCon Reveal
She is lifegiver, you can play stuff to fit it well. Lifegiving to the nature aswell for example, beasts etc.
New Neutral Minion - Evasive Drakonid
Poor War Golem.
New Warrior Spell - Molten Breath
Yeah ! but tbh, I'm disappointed to see Alexstrasza there. It must be Deathwing, Mad Aspect that breaths, not hunter's dragon.
Descent of Dragons - Who is Galakrond and How Does It Work?
It was absolutely known by the time you posted your comment on an article which included the part I quoted.
But never mind. With the set release still over a month away, it matters little if people misunderstand it now.
New Rogue Spell - Seal Fate
it is not just battlecry. Invoke means simply "add a lackey to your hand" for rogues. its Galakrond's hero power and you should read this card as,
"Deal 3 damage to an undamaged character(not a minion) and add a random lackey to your hand.)
Think that it costs 2 when you attach lackey generation to a neutral 1/1 beast; EVIL Cable Rat.
A neutral 1/1 beast costs 0; Snowflipper Penguin
Dealing 5 damage to an undamaged character costs 3; Shadow Strike
So this card is well-costed and fair enough in my opinion.
+ Backstab can't deal damage to face, this can. So you can't evaluate this card's damage dealing same as Backstab.
its balancing is like; 2 mana for "Deal 3 damage to an undamaged character" and 1 mana for "Invoke".
New Rogue Spell - Candle Breath
Dragons are cool, At least they are not pushing Beast druids anymore. :)
New Rogue Hero - Galakrond, the Nightmare
Btw, why I skipped it I don't know but You probably don't want to play it before you cleared all invoke cards etc.
+ Togwaggle's Scheme can create great value for this card.
New Rogue Spell - Praise Galakrond!
eeeew! It should be:
"Invoke Galakrond. Combo: Praise him again!"
New Rogue Spell - Seal Fate
yeah, the rogue glakrond has such a powerful battlecry when fully invoked, so I imagine that all rogue invoke cards will be better than we think
New Rogue Spell - Seal Fate
This card is To My Side! of this set.
Mark my words.
It will see more play than you thought.
Ah and, as always, Preparation if you want to see a dead card in hand if Galakrond, the Nightmare draws it.
