    Impferno has seen zero play and this card is not really different from it.

    I guess it will all come down to how much Galakrond will be good

    the 2 warlock invoke cards seem really weak, wonder what is the galakrond hero power for warlock it's better be good.

    if not it feels bad warlock gets bad cards every expansion..

    FYI every time you Invoke Galakrond, you summon 2 1/1 imps. So this card is basically Landscaping, but with the chance of buffing your ither minions as well.

    This ain't no place for a hero

    so you summon a 2/1s with this card, right? then it's fine if it hits other minions as well it's not really bad.. also it might pair with other imp based cards we saw before.. the warlock theme seem to be swarming imps on board.

    This card is actually pretty fine. Not good, but possibly good enough because Warlock needs something to do.

    Meh on its own, but if you already have a board, it can be a good tempo play.

    Never netdeck, craft Whizbang instead!

    Not great, but decent enough for an Invoke card in a "Galakrond Zoolock" deck. But unfortunately doesn't look like Galakrond really fits the Zoolock archetype so not sure how much this will actually see play.

    Interesting spell, especially because of the invoke power! The question is if it activates before or after the imps are summoned.

    I think that summon after invoke.

    Zoolock will be a thing for sure.

    Firstly imps are summoned, then the buff happens. Decent card for zoolock, although I doubt it'll see much play (especially that warlock's galakrond is pretty bad)

    An auto-include in Galalock, but how good is that deck, really? At the moment I just don't see it. Goes well with Darkshire Councilman, at least.

    As I said in all my galakrond related card reviews, this package is a sleeper. It might not see play right away, but as soon as rotation hits, every one is going to hate this card. 

    It also reminds me of power of the wild when you play it after quest completion. And this one doesn't need you to complete the quest.

    I´m not very impressed. While I like the fully invoked Warlock card that draws 3, the invoking cards in Lock are really underwhelming.

    Similarly to Dragonblight Cultist this might be staple in Zoo decks, which is what their Galakrond seems to aim towards. But on its own, it doesn't seem too powerful. Wait and see I guess.

    Invoke first makes this minimally a 3 mana for two 2/1's and +1/0 to other minions. I think it will see play, just not sure how strong this zoo-Galakrond-lock will be.

    Possible only will work in zoo invoke decks, but it's still not so strong, but at least have a good sinergy with the Galakrond hero power.

    I'm sorry for my bad english :)

    better you show some dragon related cards for warlocks. We need creative stuff. Not little green imps.

    I think this one won't make the cut. I hope there are some neutral invoke cards which summon tokens. 3 mana is too much.

    This card is a way bigger bummer than the other Invoke card. It does buff the two tokens, but its not like they have Charge or even Rush. They are just 2/1 for 3 mana. Buffing your other guys is interesting but the value of buffing 6-7 attack minions means the other side of the card, the invoke, is negated. And +1 attack on 1-3 minions plus a couple 2/1s isn't that exciting. The card will probably be played, and it will be fine, but its definitely not a game breaker.

    the only thing fiendish about this is the mana cost. 1/1s aren't that powerful, almost every class has access to some sort of 1-damage AoE

    I tried having fun once.

    It was awful.

    Very weak version of Savage Roar. Warlock's Galakrond seems pretty good but it's invoke cards are looking pretty lackluster. Both this one and the Dragonblight Cultist requires you to have a decent board size, so even with their low cost it's hard to play them on curve. Which in turn makes Veiled Worshipper unplayable on curve. Hopefully more cheap Invoke cards will be released soon.

    Well, if you absolutely want to Invoke you might have to include this card. Might work with token generators like Rafaam's Scheme.

    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.

    I think this card is better than everyone is giving it credit for. Every time you invoke you summon two 1/1 imps, which means that it won't be hard to develop a board, and none of the invoke cards will get you a board with much health, but you will continue to summon more and more 1/1 imps, and you will continue to give them more and more buffs, and then you can play Veiled Worshipper and galakrond to give you more steam so you can play more and more minions throughout the game and eventually you will be able to find a way to finish off your opponent. 

    Murloc shaman is a pretty powerful deck right now, but once you are able to kill their initial board, it is very hard for them to get back up unless they happen to have an Underbelly Angler. I imagine that zoo warlock will work similarly except that they will have way more ways to generate a board then murloc shaman.

    At its worst its 3 Mana summon two 2-1s, which I think is pretty decent.

    But its never gonna be that bad, I assume... Warlock has a lot of Boardspam already and this set will give that class even more

    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.

    So since you invoke first, it means you will atleast get 2 2/1 imps which would be valued at 2 mana and that's the worst case scenario. Not an extremely exciting effect, but in a zoo deck, it works and obviously helps for the big Galakrond, the Wretched payoff.

    More dragons? Yes please!

    3 mana summon two 2/1's and give your other minions +1 attack - seems pretty good to me.

    This is almost a strictly better Doubling Imp if only because warlock handbuff basically got not support outside of it. I think this card will really propel the Galakrond Zoo deck, it seems very powerful early board pressure and also enable some nice trades and burst damage.

    This card put a 2 2/1 minions ( demons, if that will matter) on the board and buffs the other you have for 3 mana.

    The card is obviously not super strong, but isn't bad at all like the neutral invoke cards reveleas and plus it kinda works with the zoo style of deck that Galakrond warlock seems to be.

    If the deck will be a thing it will run 2 of this for sure, the earlier you get to play a full evolved Galakrond the better.

    Fair card, Gala Warlock is promising and this one synergises well with it, putting stuff on the board and buffing it. But it's also not a cheap tempo price, since those imps are like mosquitoes when played on curve. I think it will be played.

    This card is just too week, the problem is  Blizzard is focusing Imp synergy as minions with lots of attack and 1 health and as such they are very suceptible to the most simple of board clears

    Another card to push Galakrond-Demon Zoolock. Due to the Invoke effect this card will at least summon two 2/1 Imps. With two more minions on the board, this card is worth to be played.

    I am assuming from the wording the Invoke effect goes off first, summon two 1/1 Imps from Galakrond’s hero power before the buff is applied. So at the very least this is paying 3 mana to get two 2/1 Imps on the board. Probably good enough to use as an Invoke card if nothing else.

    Jaina is best waifu. Always.

    Not as hopeless as Dragonblight Cultist, but other classes have moch better Galakrond invokers. Warlock Galakrond is looking so far pretty screwed.

    Fun and interactive game.
