I think the key thing here is that Invoke triggers as soon as you play the card, regardless of whether you have played Galakrond yet. So it is not really turn 8 onwards, it's a whole bunch of annoying imps throughout the game. Since Invoke cards are under-statted that's not necessarily that strong, but it sets the scene for Darkest Hours from turn 6 onwards instead.
As a Hearthstone player, I have to ask why we're still printing 1-mana 1/3s that need to be dealt with instantly in order to not get snowballed out of existence.
Returning player with some questions
You can actually craft the strongest deck in the meta with it (for another month, until the new expansion releases): Aggro shaman.
There's two builds going around right now, one that does better against slow decks: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/doomhammer-aggro-shaman/
And one that does better against aggressive decks: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/decks/bloodlust-aggro-shaman/

they rotate in 5 months. i wouldnt say a few but i agree that yeah they are replacing those cards little by little until april
New Warlock Minion - Dragonblight Cultist
yeah I don't see this being very useful unless you really need to invoke galakrond.
Lightning Breath
Yeah sure, let's give Shaman a 3-mana Flamestrike. Somehow this'll end up in Quest Shaman, and the world will be a worse place because of it.
New Neutral Minion - Twin Tyrant
Good in arena, I guess?
New Warlock Minion - Veiled Worshipper
This card could actually be nutty depending on how many good invoke cards are available. 4 mana 5/4 statline isn't bad even as a vanilla.
New Neutral Minion - Sathrovarr
Interesting card, but its cost may be too high to make him a consistent card for Value purposes.
Still solid for some Combo.
Seal Fate
Galakrond Rogue will have to be pretty nuts if this is a card you#re going to be forced to run.
Galakrond, the Nightmare
30 Health huh? Savage
Twin Tyrant
Smells like Arena
Descent of Dragons - Who is Galakrond and How Does It Work?
The headline of this article is very Decent... You get it?
Ok,I will show myself out...
New Druid Minion - Ysera, Unleashed
Poor reworked Ysera, reduced to a meme card.
Praise Galakrond!
Rogue likes 1-mana stuff. Rogue likes lackeys. This'll do
Breath of Dreams
Ah yes, the classic: let's reprint a nerfed card even stronger but glue it to a specific archetype.
I mean if it worked once....
Dwarven Sharpshooter
As a Hunter player, this excites me

New Warlock Minion - Dragonblight Cultist
Ah, a 3-drop with 1 health. Just what warlock needed!

I'd like to know where all the "In the Year of the Raven we got so many ravens" people are now
Emerald Explorer
6-mana 4/8 is a great statline and there are few truly bad dragons (meaning the lack of a class bonus won't matter too much)
New Hunter Minion - Dragonbane
Even Hunter says hi.
BlizzCon Virtual Ticket Legendary Card Revealed - Sathrovarr
Sathrovarr and Shudderwock would make such a lovely couple. Would be nice to play on Da Undatakah too.
Shield of Galakrond
Unironically the most useful Invoker so far and it's a neutral....this is not a good sign
Veiled Worshipper
looks good, but I have doubts about Galakrond Warlock
Phase Stalker
Good for Highlander Hunter, but is it even necessary at this point?
