Not as good as the other Invoke card for Warlock, but it helps with the board-flooding Demon strategy of Galakrond Warlock which I think is strong, so this will probably get played.
Warlock’s Galakrond seems the strongest to me so far, and part of it is that the Invoke effect puts bodies on the board, and its Invoke cards directly synergize with this effect as well as what you already have on the board. The cost of this seems fair.
I can see this being good if Galakrond decks are extremely popular, and I’m someone that sees potential in Galakrond Priest. This will be one of the few ways of potentially getting more Invoke cards without sacrificing too much tempo by using spells to steal cards.
I’ve heard complaints about this possibly buffing big dragons before you can play them. I’m envisioning a deck with NuZdormu to correct this problem, plus maybe Immortal Prelate, Da Undatakah, Baleful Banker, or possibly the Quest package.
I see a lot of hate for this, but I honestly think this is the most meta defining of the four we’ve seen so far. Summoning two 1/1 imps every time you Invoke is pretty powerful. Also, the Battlecry is nothing to sneeze at. Summoning random demons is usually better than putting them in your hand, due to many of them having negative battlecries, and if I’m getting the fully upgraded BC, I’m not even going to be too upset with getting 3/3s. I’m looking forward to Warlock getting a good Demon deck.
The Battlecry is strong, and getting Lackey through Invoke is good, but I’m not sure that paying 2 for a lackey is good. EVIL Cable Rat was already borderline, and that puts an extra 1/1 beast on the board. I wonder if Rogue will get another card that benefits from Lackey synergy. That might make the difference.
I am however considering trying to make a deck that desperately tries to get a Tekhan, because 3 mana for a 4/4 with a powerful battlecry each turn is pretty sick.
Invoke will be strong for Warlock, so a 4 mana 5/4 that draws three cards is amazing.

Deathwing really loves Commanding Shout.
Interesting card. I’m expecting someone to find something cool to do with it comboed with Augmented Elekk or Khadgar.
Looks like a good Dragon Warrior card. Bash, but better.
Cards that Invoke cannot be created by any means other than copy effects
This is going in Dragon decks, definitely.
It’s fine but not exciting. Maybe some dragon decks will use it to smooth out their curve. It will definitely go on the board due to Discover cards.
Probably bad. Maybe Quest Hunter or some weird Combo Priest will use it.
I think this will see play in Warlock and Warrior, but not Priest or Rogue.
A solid card. All Galakrond decks will run this.

Even if Dragon Rogue isn’t a thing, any Rogue deck with sufficient Lackey generation will use this.

I’ve heard a lot of hate for this card, but Princess Talanji might make this good until rotation.
Looks like good value. Hopefully Dragon Hunter works before Witchwood rotates.

I’ve heard this card is powerful from someone who got to play with it at BlizzCon, but of course that wasn’t in a real meta. I think it has potential.
