A nice "OH SHIT" card when you need a board clear, since such a scenario assumes you have either weak or no minions left on your side of the board. But I think its real value will come when it can be summoned, thus bypassing its Battlecry. Evolve, Boomship, whatever. An 8 Mana 12/12 is obviously strong.
SMOrc, baby. We're back to Zoo. I believe the order will resolve as: Invoke first (thus summoning 2 1/1 Imps), then the other half of the Battlecry. So, at worst, 3 Mana for two 2/1s. That's not great, so you'll definitely want to have other minions (which you probably will) on the board.
Sure, it supports an aggressive Zoo deck. Sure, that might be good enough for Warlock in the new meta. But I'm skeptical. If it does work out, then a fully Invoked Galakrond might be better than I thought, with 10 damage from hand to finish a weakened opponent over 2 turns.
It's a shame that, with all currently revealed cards, Warlock's Galakrond is garbage. This card is very strong, and it might be good enough to justify a Galakrond deck.
Maybe if the effect was "Summon 4 Voidlords". As it stands, no, your average Demon isn't good enough to make this worthwhile, unless we get some powerful stat-boosting aura minions in DoD. Something that gives your Demons +3/+3, maybe.
Sure, it depends on the other Shaman cards and whether Shaman will have good Dragon synergies. 12 damage for 3 Mana is awesome. Good enough to include non-synergistic Dragons just for the effect? Probably not, but tons of easy value in a Dragon deck that is at least decent.
I thought that Invoke cards would be decent on their own. That was before I saw this card. "Decent" is a gross understatement when it comes to this card: it's got a ton of value. By the time a Priest Invokes twice, they'll likely have 7+ cards in hand.
Strong Battlecry, and it'll most likely be worthwhile to Invoke because the Invoke support cards will be decent on their own. The Hero Power should be an upgrade over the base one in terms of value, even though there aren't many incredible Priest minions. Rating it a 3 for now because I'm not sure how a Galakrond Priest deck wins, other than the traditional finisher.
As others have mentioned, the strength of this card depends on the source of the two wrong options. If it works like Curious Glimmerroot, then it'll give Priest flexibility and value. I hope it does!
Silence meta Inc! Seriously, this is a strong card that can quickly get out of hand. My favorite deck type is a mid-range deck with beefy minions, so I'll be trying this card for sure.
Priest's Galakrond doesn't seem particularly strong, so I don't know how worthwhile Invoke will be. However, if it's worthwhile, then Priests will include this card. Priest can build Control decks that make 5 Mana cards palatable, and targeted, non-conditional removal in Priest with an upside sounds good to me.
Great for countering decks that rely on Divine Shield (and which don't have access to easy board clears?). And, of course, it could be powerful in token decks, but I don't see this rocking the meta. Shu'more Dust, thank you!
Good. I'm sick of corporations pretending to have morals and aligning themselves with what they think we think is right. Blizzard should keep politics and other divisive topics out of their events. Once a topic is no longer divisive, they should continue to keep it out of their events if it's remotely political. Punishing Blitzchung is not "tacit approval of the Chinese government". It's a Discord server owner muting you when you ignore the giant "NO POLITICS" rule and talk about politics.
Witht that said, I think they were too harsh on Blitzchung and I'm glad they're easing up a bit, but I still would've preferred just a warning or a slap on the wrist.
The best Galakrond, IMO. We do still need to see Shaman's Galakrond.
I'll take it. A good tool for surviving the hyper aggressive Zoo decks we'll be seeing and living long enough to play your fat, scaly friends.

Pyramad? More like PyraBAD!
Unlike this guide, which is PyraNOTBAD.
Yeah, they should replace dead players' portraits with Lich Baz'hial, who's actually dead (for now) after they added the four new heroes :P
Plus, no one knows who he is, at least compared to Kel'Thuzad.
Perhaps Blizzard will try to address this with King Bagurgle (who, I suppose, could be something other than a Murloc, but that seems unlikely).
Everyone talks crap bout Millhouse till he opens a can of whoop-ass.
I never got lucky with a Twitch drop to get Early Access, so all of my good luck accumulated for the Open Beta tomorrow! Haha... ha...........
