A mix between C'Thun and DK cards.

Not a fan of this one.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of the set.

Galakrond was in teaser to be fair...

Just a guess, but could it be that the final “plague” in the PWE adventure that summoned/resurrected old gods, is what they used to resurrect Galakrond?

The power level of those cards... Druid got pre nerf wild groth that draws a card!!

The Dragon theme is crazy good to shake up the meta! Those cards create new archtypes and don’t just fit into old ones.

This really makes me wish they'll return Genn and Baku for a limited time back to standard.....

I mean, at this point it can't be worse than the current dumpsterfire, so why not.

Looked on official site... Hero power is "add a lackey to your hand"... holy

Interesting concept. Confusing, but will have to play with it to understand

Sweet sweet Dragons: I'm sure I'm gonna love (and hate) the new Lackey

my thoughts too.

ok the priest and warlock ones got revealed, so it is indeed 5 different cards...

Dang, our very own loremaster, GoliathTheDwarf, totally called Galakrond happening. That's a smart dwarf you got there, OOC.

aaaand warlock gets the bad one again....

Random demons at turn 7 really doesn't strike me as a good way to spend mana....unless he gets a new hero power that wins the game from there...

Not a fan of this Galakrond thing, but i'm having a Cardgasm for my Even Hunter.

A couple more years of Malygos Druid. 

That's so refreshing!! 

Well, I guess that confirms Dragon Paladin to be a thing. We got 2 dragons with taunt, which means the Dragonspeaker value will be astronomical.

Also, they finally reprinted Steamwheedle Sniper as a playable card, my prayers have been answered.

So the dragon in "Year of the Dragon" was the Galakrond. The Ultimate Plan of the E.V.I.L was reviving him ? cool.

At least i have predicted that Dragon Aspects will return in different forms.

Quote From Almaniarra

- The only thing I'm sure about is Dragons and a new lackey that is probably Drakonid or Draconic Lackey and might have a " if you are holding a dragon" synergy.

- I don't think those two cards represent the keyword. It represent probably the sides, The Light bleeds are Golden and Purple and the lights are changing sides occasionally. She is constantly changing cards to predict to future correctly but all cards are same and changing lights so she can't decide what will really happen.

- My personal thought is that Dragon Aspects are coming, because LoE just saved the Uldum and didn't tried to get Dalaran back. Here, I wonder what happened to Kalecgos, Khadgar, Rhyssa, Nozari, Vereesa and Stelladris. They just fled or captured by E.V.I.L. ? I really think that;
Alexstrasza for Hunter
Ysera for Druid
Malygos for Mage
Nozdormu for Paladin will come to fight with Deathwing.

Because Rafaam is just a Ethereal Thief who wants to exchange Dalaran with something precious. He made Togwaggle the King. So Togwaggle is just a servant of Rafaam, didn't have any plans. Dr. Boom only wanted wisdom of the Dalaran for his experiments in Booms Lab. Hagatha has just sided with them like Dr. Boom because of wisdom and she sided with E.V.I.L because the enemy of my enemy is my ally but Lazul is different. She is a servant of Old Gods so the key character here is her. The Lore might shape like this;

She learned that Rafaam will steal the Dalaran and will want to exchange it with something precious with her visions so she had found Rafaam and offered him that The most Precious thing in exchange should only be given by old gods so they are bringing Dalaran to Deathwing because all of the Old gods are imprisoned. The ultimate plan will be Lazul's in my opinion, not Rafaam's. Rafaam is just want to sell Dalaran. He is an ethereal and he only wants trade.

So in light of all these, Dragon Aspects will not want Old Gods have Dalaran and fight with them to save it unlike LoE. LoE just wanted to save Uldum, not Dalaran.

- There is also a great opportunity to bind lores together like how Malygos got mad and fight with all Azeroth for defending that " Mortals should not use magic.". The changing lights of Lazul's cards make me think about how Malygos changed sides and also the lights are golden and purple. It might be also about Nozdormu and Murozond.

These are only my personal speculations.

So as you can see, There are great opportunities and so much possibilities. I hope Team 5 used those opportunities and make a wonderful lore-related expansion.

For the cards and our experience, I really only can say about Dragons and Draconic Lackey. I don't think there will be a "choose one"-like mechanic. And I'm %50 sure of new Nozdormu, Ysera, Malygos and Alexstrasza. They greatly fit the theme of Paladin, Druid, Mage and Hunter.

So let's see how Alexstrazsa for hunter, Malygos for Mage and Nozdormu for Paladin. Yay, I will love this expansion probably, That was what I was waiting for.

Portrait

I’m pretty hyped, not gonna lie. Let’s see which card is gonna be too op when the expansion hits

he's gonna need some hydration from creaming his pants non-stop.

from what I understand there are 5 different versions (for the league of Evil) that all share the Invoke upgrade but have different effects. Rogue is Sprint on Steroids, and the others will probably be something other class related

Quote From Trimutius

There will be 5 different variants of Galakrond as far as I understand.

Yeah that's what it sounded like from the announcement when he said they're giving out "all five copies" but idk that's just a bit surprising since if Galakrond isn't as meta-impactful as they're expecting/doesn't resonate with players then 5 of the 9 classes are basically "hobbled" for 4 months.

I didn't start playing HS until after Old Gods, but Galakrond/Invoke looks a whole lot like C'thun except it's not a damage-based battlecry so what happens if you draw 3 0-cost cards and RNG gives you a bad draw? Obviously WAAAYYYY to early to tell but just my immediate thoughts

IGNORE ME I didn't see that each version of Galakrond was different based on the classes. Much better I think.

Hero card or Hero portrait?

oh okay, that makes way more sense then.

Here's hoping the Warlock version gives Gul'dan an actual win condition for a change

All 5 EVIL classes has him and I think you get all 5 for free? Idk but he's like C'thun for EVILs.
