at least faceless corrupter was a neutral card. The problem at its heart is that shaman invokes faster than the other Galakrond classes, and is able to double Galakrond's battlecry value.

Either [card]corrupt elementalist[/card] becomes a neutral card, or that thing needs a major nerf. Invoke cards are supposed to be overall pretty weak for their cost, but with …

Looks like team5 did not expect shaman to take center stage. I think the problem is that both quest and Galakrond are being placed into the same deck.

Galakrond quest shaman invokes twice as fast, tempo swings so ridiculously with double battlecry invokes, and if you manage that 9 mana Galakrond with double battlecry it places 4 8/8 with …

Whether which Galakrond will be good enough is largely depend on the invoke cards, and its no surprise that Galakrond shaman is currently the best around. They simply invoke Galakrond faster than every other class, and it buys tempo too.

No surprise that Galakrond rogue couldn't find its feet. Was up yesterday desperately trying to make it work but …

Was trying all day trying, and mostly failing, to make dragon rogue a thing. No pros or streamers tried anything with rogue yet?

Did anyone get a notification in game of this nerf to the echo mechanics?

If I weren't a regular around here there's no chance I would have known to dust those cards while I still can.

Not that I'm complaining but if she turns out to be hunter, in what way does a banshee queen represent a hunter?

Well stated and will bring aggro players to tears. 4/5 stars + 1 more star if my opponent is a cheesy mech hunter who goes "i will hunt you down" when he has no cards I am at 2 health and I top deck this card.

I'm just a little disappointed to know that [card]dragonmaw poacher[/card] is going to be waiting at every end of every deck I try to experiment with. Its gets sadder to know that I will be ruining someone else's fund with the same card.

Draw card with an upside. I like it. But drawing for your opponent is never a good idea. An interesting upside. But its just not good enough to be included since most dragons you want to play would have a battlecry and this plays against it.

This would have been a consideration for some decks if it weren't for that meddling [card]dragonmaw poacher[/card]

5/5 for card art. Yes, thats it.

Cute little card that draw. That's so cute. But no. You won't be playing a 5 mana cost card to draw cards with. Maybe in dragon paladin with buffs, but that might be a little too little too late by that point.

[card]Argent commander[/card] can charge and the evasion keyword is just not going to be enough. The divine shield on this may find itself in rush warrior, but its high cost is a major obstacle.

Excellent arena card though. So that's one good point.

You're not going to play this in token, not in quest, and big druid is not a thing. So what is this card supposed to do? Had this only require mana, it might still be passable. But if you're going to put value down with your minions this is more likely to disrupt you play and help, since most druid …

One mana less than [card]fireplume phoenix[/card] and that card saw play so this might be good enough to see play too, assuming you're running a dragon deck.

A definite inclusion in mid range dragon decks.

In a world where [card]dragonmaw poacher[/card] is a card I don't know ifI should be happy to have 3 dragons in my hand just to make this happen.

It can work, but more likely there's just better 4 mana cards compared to this one. Its not bad, but its not broken.

[card]Cannon barrage[/card] fodder. And a really scary one at that. This is just one card to do a potential 12 damage. With prep the cannons will be blasting a few additional shots for lethal.

Just about covers one of the weakness for [card]Cannon barrage[/card]. Looking forward to testing this day 1.

What makes this good is that you get to control when to trigger this out. So it can easily cheat one mana off from a different turn, and a +1+1 to the board is not to be ignored.

However, most likely its just slower than you'd expect, and your opponent can make decisions that limit the effect of this …

It only buffs mechs, but it puts out 2 tokens at 3, so this card is pretty playable but not broken by any means.

Anything that puts a board is nothing to be sniffed at. But not having high hopes for this card, though there's a good chance I will be proven wrong.

6 years, 3 months ago · on Sky Claw

Really good, but far from broken. Aggro shaman doesn't flood the board as easily compared to token decks, but the new DoD shaman cards seemed to make board a thing for shaman so this might come in handy.

Not to mention that this slots into murloc shaman quite well, so this cards might just decide more matches than we …

Its decent stats for what it does. But its main bit is that it invokes twice, making it possible to run galakrond with only two copies of this card in the deck. And that adds to the flexibility of shaman's galakrond decks.
