There is some combo potential with this card. Malygos is still in standard, which means you can combo this card with the Aspect of Magic to reduce the Cost to (4) or even (0) and start to blasting enemies. Will Druid survive this long tho in Stnadrd? Maybe. Untapped Potential and most of the cards in the deck come from Year of the Dragon, so Druid still got some stall tools.
These are two of my current ideas. For Blazing Suspect, he copies your Hero Power and gives it every effect it had. It can copy effects like Ice Walker and Spirit of the Dragonhawk, but that is probably a bit complcated and may push me towards the Crook.
I was one of people who downloaded the game way back in 2016 when it was in beta. It was mesmerizing. You had to think about so much more than in any other card game I've played - probably on par with MtG (that I've never played). You had to think about how you would create your own board and how to manage resources, as you could store unpsent mana to play larger cards and keep your units near mana wells which generate +1 income. But having to buy DLC to get more competetive saddens me.
If you want to pursuit the path of Purrfection, I recommend crafting Back alley Barkeep and Counterfeit Copies to get an amazgin combo for value generation. The cards you get are oddly consistent, as you get mostly from your chosen regions.
I want to play now, but the game seems to mock me. I can't get into action because of the "Service error" bug. Is there any solution except sending a ticket to Riot?
In all seriousness, this is alright. It gives tons of defensiveness, but it's usually dealt with pretty easily after the turn you play - you commit your entire turn to summon some decent minions and pray your opponent doesn't kill them instantly. It's not on levels of N'Zoth or Warlock DK, but for Standard - it may be alright.
Welcome to my new episode of SST, which should've been made as videos on YouTube, but I don't bother doing so. xd Now on the more serious side. I quite agree with other comments, but I'll also say some thoretical counters to Mecha'thun Warlock.
Loatheb and Rebuke can slow down their combo by a turn or two, because if you increase the cost of Bloodbloom, they can't do their combo. It's not as consistent, but considerable.
I would even consider fighting fire with fire, except by playing a Mecha'thun variant of King Togwaggle Priest. You do your usual combo except you wait before your opponent's deck is running low. Then just do it, wait a few turns to get your combo ready and win. Priest in general also has a bit of tools to slow them down with cards like Psychic Scream.
Hmn... do I always remain specitcal? Maybe, but I remain slightly optimistic for Reno. I think Mage decks might run him mainly for his mass removal, be it either functioning like Vanish or Plague of Death, but probably the latter, as the usual balance for Hero cards is 2 mana for the Hero Power, 1 mana for 5 Armor and the rest for the Battlecry - this one mentions a Passive HP, so it could account 9 Mana for Plague and 1 for 5 Armor.
Now onto his Hero Power, which amuses me. I understand that having a random spell every turn feels bad, but I'd stll take it, as it provides constant value - arguably better than from Raid the Sky Temple. You just can't underestimate that while RNG will not always bestow hope upon you, you have so many chances to get good rolls and gain an advantage over your opponent.
I'd say this is a pretty good Hero Card who can definitely buy you time and maybe sometimes screw you up, but should be usually a rather good hero throughout the game.
Can't exactly say how good or bad this card is. It seems very average - probably decent enough for Arena, but it seems to kind of have no place in Standard if included in your deck. Sure, you could argue Combo Priest would include this, as it gives a pretty high Health minion, but I don't find anything worth replacing in that deck for this card. Maybe as a one-of, and maybe once cards like Bwonsamdi, the Dead rotate.
Of course, I could be wrong. This could be aswell used in a little more mid-range version of Combo Priest where they do not have tons of 1-drops to draw with Bwonsamdi - in such case, I could see this card being more playable.
We have quite an interesting 2-drop collection for Standard right now. You can either snowball so hard with Millhouse Manastorm and Injured Tol'vir, secure the Health bonus with Cloakscale Chemist or make a Deathrattle minion like EVIL Conscripter feel like Carrion Grub. With new 2-drops on the horizon, this could be either better or worse. But I'd say the current pool is fine, just not good enough to make this broken to include in your deck.
Kronx was the very first craft I did on day one! I figured we all got the five Galakrond hero cards free, so I'd be playing around with those archetypes. And his effect of either drawing the hero card, or unleashing a devastation is something you'd want in any Galakrond build. Even on my f2p account that lives in poverty I crafted him immediately.
He was my first craft as well. Definitely worth it.
I personally doubt Galakron decks will be nerfed to un-playability. The theme of the expansion are E.V.I.L. classes (revolving around Galakrond) vs "Good" classes (revolving around Highlander decks and side quests). I think the target is to nerf gala decks just enough to be at par with highlander decks from the "good" classes.
I think the same. Galakrond decks are almost good in terms of power level - only some other cards need a bit of nerfs.
Galakrond decks might be nerfed to unplayability.. So maybe he is not such a safe craft anymore...
Maybe only a notch. I remain optimistic about Galakrond decks in the next rotation after all bullshit like Shudderwock rotate out, because some cards from Year of the Raven swing the balance of Galakronds. Especially having faith in Galakrond Priest, as they will probably want him for some mass removal before new AoE like Plague of Death come out.
Let's not forget about a potential Hall of Fame rotation.
Well I did craft Kronx even before comments from guys after @Ballsdeeper and went on a nice tear through lower ranks in Wild with Galakrond Warlock. Thanks for advice anyway.
I actually don't think Necrium Apothecary is the main problem, but rather cards like Necrium Blade, as they provide pretty much an instant trigger for the Deathrattle. I'd rather see nerfs to that weapon, maybe switching its Attack and Durability to slow down the deck a bit.
I'm preparing myself to play in Standard mode next rotation, hence I focused a bit on getting pieces for future Galakrond decks. Now, pretty much all of them have Kronx Dragonhoof in them in Standard. Should I disenchant some useless Wild cards to get him now or should I wait to gather more dust and maybe get him from the pack?
I do agree healing is not the best aspect of this deck, which leaves it vulnerable to burst. You can tech in Greater Healing Potion if needed to gain some more sustain versus high damage combos you anticipate.
Twilight Drake seems like an interesting addition, because you do have around 8 cards in your hand most of the time. I do wonder what can be replaced for it tho. I'd say not much.
Btw, I do run Wyrmrest Agent in my base deck, so you didn't have to worry if you thought you included that card just because you didn't craft other cards.

Interesting changes. Too bad I've stopped playing the game for like a month now.

Blame Defile for that. If needed, they could maybe change it's stats to 5 mana 2/2 to make it stronger overall and cure the Defile problem.
*laughs in Relentless Pursuit*
High five man! :D

Got a response from Riot Support a few minutes ago. They do say servers are overloaded.

Spiteful Summoner Shaman anyone?
