When compared to Blazecaller one could assume that it would be easier to overload than to play an elemental the turn before, at least it should be more consistent. In an overload midrange/aggro deck this could be a very powerful addition, should be seeing play in the upcoming meta.
A control Shaman with a couple powerful dragons with battlecry such as Twilight Drake can already make this card work, and it is in most cases a Flamestrike that can be played on turn 3.
If Shaman gets a bunch of well-statted dragons then a midrange board focused deck would definitely run this card.
This will see play in every Tempo Galakrond Rogue because it is so cheap.
It is a 1 mana add a random lackey to your hand and also an Invoke activator, which are going to enable some extremely powerful plays in the mid to late game. The card may appear weak on the surface, but the deck it is going to be a part of will be very powerful.
Very hard to judge this card as of now. On the surface its obviously very strong, but we have yet to see if a Dragon Rogue deck could even possibly be a thing. With more support this card will be exceptionally powerful.
A very nice cheap discover spell for rogue, activates all of their burgle cards like Underbelly Fence and also a good quest activator. Card itself is not insanely powerful, and the archetypes that will use it likely will not be top tier unless more support is printed.
Maybe it is enough to provide Tess Greymane with reliable powerful minions to summon, although probably not enough to see competitive play.
So this is 3 damage AND add a random Lackey to your hand.
The card will see play from necessity of the Galakrond deck requiring Invoke cards, the tempo plays that this will enable later in the game are huge. The card itself is not insane, but the deck it enables should be very powerful.
Very powerful effect. As we all know already, Rogue can do some seriously crazy things with coins.
I do foresee a Galakrond, the Nightmare tempo deck being a thing, and this card will certainly give you some very big tempo plays if you can activate it on curve. Really the cards playability relies on there being half decent Invoke activators being printed.
I would argue that this card is straight up better, with its only downside requiring that it needs to be combo'd to activate. It draws from your deck allowing you to somewhat control its effect. Can easily imagine a multitude of different targets you would like to hit, perhaps this might also help Anka, the Buried see some play?
Wow so its 1 mana more expensive Vilespine Slayer without needing the combo AND it is a counter to any strategies revolving around playing multiples of a single minion like Pogo-Hopper or Togwaggle's Scheme.
This card seems like insanely high tempo and power level, could be a staple in just about every Rogue deck going forward. Should also have a huge impact within every game format, excellent card.
Right now control priests are using Forbidden Words and I can see this straight up replacing it even outside of Galakrond decks.
Galakrond, the Unspeakable could very well support a late game value/control Priest, and this card would be hugely important to that archetype. Assassinate + a random priest minion is excellent, will have to see how all the other Invoke cards pan out.
So this card could be extremely difficult to actually guess correctly.
I believe it was confirmed that the two wrong choices will pull from a pool of cards which are in the opponents deck, but not in hand. This could make it extremely difficult to correctly guess the card in hand, and because of this I don't think this will see any play like Curious Glimmerroot did.
Really nice solid stat-line that Priest will love.
Being able to activate the battlecry is obviously going to be a huge power play, and I do predict a control Galakrond Priest being a powerful deck in the meta. Very powerful card. Could also be very useful with the new card Dragon Breeder.
I can see this card being very powerful in Arena, however for standard I really cannot see this making the cut. It is simply too 'fair' of a card. Unless the meta goes full midrange where value trades matter, this card will not see play.
Oh boy what a card, obviously just a much better Antique Healbot but Paladin only.
Highlander Paladin with a higher mana curve and a midrange Dragon deck would absolutely love this card. This might also make Zandalari Templar more playable? I doubt it but this card has some serious potential, very happy with it! Also worth noting that this is similar to Darkshire Alchemist in that it can target any character, not just healing face.
Getting this out early could be pretty powerful, coining it out against someone with no 1 drop or hero power which deals damage is obviously quite strong.
My problem is seeing how you can reliably complete this during the mid to late game. Unless you have a bunch of taunts already out then your opponent can always ensure 1 damage goes face to prevent it activating. Mage and Hunter completely lock this out if they so wish, but it does have nice synergy with Time Out!.
Perhaps I am not seeing it, but right now it seems worse and harder to reliably pull off than the mage side-quest Learn Draconic.
So, very similar to Val'anyr but its faster so long as there are dragons in hand - don't need to break a weapon for the buff. Downside is you cannot always control when the deathrattle will go off.
Could be strong if a midrange minion focused Dragon Paladin is a thing.
Seems quite powerful, doesn't need to be played on curve and can be kept to eat up a bunch of buffs and then played later on as a very large and cheap threat. Could help a Big Paladin archetype out, where the opponents ramp does not have as much impact as your own.
Definitely a fun card, will certainly see some play because of it.
Eh, its just a 3/4 that could possibly have some sort of synergy with cards like Dire Frenzy or any other methods of flooding the same minion type. Problem is the +3 attack isn't really anything to shout about, it doesn't seem to be worth the effort to enable it. There are also a bunch of 3 mana 3/4 to choose from now, each have their own ability that seems better than this.
A delayed 1 mana 6/6 that you can control when it summons.
It seems powerful, can be a very nice tempo tool for an aggro spell burn deck in a similar way to Rat Trap. I feel like you can really look at this card in a similar way as Corridor Creeper in that you are cheating out an incredibly cheap minion with good stats, and 8 mana of spells seems relatively easy to achieve.
Could also see this being played in some Highlander decks to get some early board presence while they play a bunch of cheaper spells.
This seems to be quite powerful.

Never once rolled this cardback randomly :(

Quite comparable to Myra Rotspring.
