This is a card you'd like to get from random effects (Evolve shenanigans, Conjurer's Calling, Dragon Roar, Astral Rift,...) but wouldn't actually put in your decks.
Oh hey it's Inspire. I really wish they'd keep using the keywords they've created (e.g. "Inspire" vs. "After you use your hero power...; "Echo" vs. "Repeatable this turn."; "Recruit" vs. "Summon from your deck."; etc.). Otherwise, why bother making the keyword in the first place?
Didn't they explain it to make the game more accessible to general casual players? So they don't have to remember many keywords and gave up in the process
Well Inspire and Echo (especially this one) are kinda obvious and easy to understand in my opinion. Recruit may be confused with "summon from hand" instead of "summon from deck", but the other two should be reused (see SN1P-SN4P for example)
Unbelievably powerful. Turn 7, draw FOUR CARDS, and each costs ZERO????
Game over on turn 7? Leeroy, eviscerate, eviscerate, cold blood... you can imagine the possible combos.
People miss an important thing about Galakrond: if you want to get as much value as possible from him, just can't just jam it on turn 7 most of the times.
Before that, you have to play 2 cards (or 3, I don't remember) with the Invoke mechanic, which are kinda awkward (see the 4 mana 2/2 with Rush, not really a Rogue card).
I'm not saying that Galakrond won't see play (I in fact think the opposite, even more that they're completely free for everyone), but if they decided to release such card it means that they have their own reasons.

Some people were saying the same about Dragonmaw Scorcher and Crowd Roaster, so I guess we should just wait and see
I'm not sure, but do you remember Lesser Amethyst Spellstone? If you draw it with Kobold Librarian it will get an upgrade.
I know this time is different since Breath of Dreams is the card you play and not the one you draw, but if it will happens I won't be surprised
Odd Control Hunter Po
Just a little side thought: imagine how this card would have been with pre-nerf Preparation.
Now Rogue can get high cost playable spells too.
More Dragon synergy Pog
This is going to be one of the best arts of the whole set: incredibly stunning. I really hope to unpack this one even if I won't play Priest.
Not really sold on the stats: Cosmic Anomaly but dragon, with a weaker body and a discover effect attached to it
Impferno has seen zero play and this card is not really different from it.
I guess it will all come down to how much Galakrond will be good
Assassinate with an upside

We're gonna need more Stubborn Gastropods
Necrium Vial will shuffle two Candles in your deck and, if you draw them while Waxadred is still alive, they won't do anything.
Just like when you shuffle more than three Candles with The Darkness and your opponent draws them when it's already awakened.
Not gonna lie: my first thought was directed to Mogu Fleshshaper Mutate shenanigans
Yep, cause they are indeed side quests and not quests
A new one has been revelaed
I'd like to know where all the "In the Year of the Raven we got so many ravens" people are now
Sweet sweet Dragons: I'm sure I'm gonna love (and hate) the new Lackey
I read this comment with Mario's voice. Not disappointed at all.
Since I don't want to create a thread just for this I'll leave it here... It might be worth a note in your article though.
