    Crazy draw, synergy with Gardening Gnome, which may find redemption now.

    I think this is the worst Galakrond so far, I think zoo-strategies won't hold against the power of big dragons and value of the powercreep.

    Well, I guess double Spellbreaker? I think it will be silence meta, because you can't always clear all the stats from the board that got powercreeped (at least seemed to me from the reveal stream). You need to silence this and Dragonmaw Poachers, otherwise you're in deep trouble.

    One of my favourite Shaman decks in Wild is Burn Shaman deck with Tunnel Trogg, Totem Golem and Spirit of the Frog to cycle the burn. Maybe I can build a more board-oriented deck with this and Storm's Wrath. Should be fun.

    Always love me some positioning challenges while playing :)

    Ok, so once Eureka! rotates out, you can do Malygos Shaman by discounting two of these by Frizz Kindleroost, getting some additional fuel from Cobalt Spellkin and killing the opponent. (If it's a warrior, just Platebreaker a turn prior.)

    Would you make Sylvanas your favourite Hunter hero? What kind of themed decks would you play with her?

    Why, DEATHRATTLE DECKS.

    Stupid, stupid card. Seems like a crazy custom expansion to me, they can't be serious. Should have only gained attack that would be alongside previous 4-mana cards like Ancient Shade, i.e. lots of attack with a condition. This way it would be a cheap removal against larger dragons, not an aggro tempo tool against the like of Bronze Explorer.

    Wow, immediately got me thinking about Malygos Shaman where you can speed up collecting the combo, but it's probably more "food" for cyclone mage. We will see about other classes - Warlock could get Spirit Bomb or Grim Rally I think, Warrior gets Whirlwind or Upgrade (which could be sweet), Priest has Inner Fire and Cloning Device - these all look interesting!

    This is infinite smorc if your deck is saturated with dragons. I can't really see it as a control card

    It will probably backfire on you most of the time, but if I open it, I will definitely try it in a Big deck. Don't craft.

    I have the dust to craft it now, that's ok; my point was that the design is bad for a legendary - it's highrolly on curve in a tempo deck and you just have to have it, it can hardly be replaced. The rest of the comment was more a concern for new players - powercreep also causes that you MUST have more of those powerful cards with unique effect. If you play a budget deck and somebody pulls this on you on curve, you've lost. I understand that you have to have powerful cards and I'm not arguing in favour of abolishing all strong legendary cards, but they shouldn't affect the whole game. It's not like [Hearthstone Card (Ziliax) Not Found] on curve, where even though it can stabilize the defender, the attacker can prepare for it, use burn or whatever; this card on curve causes you to slowly lose on each turn (yeah, in this case you only lose as midrange or controlly-midrange, as aggro shouldn't mind). And it's not like the Ziliax in the other regard, that if you don' have it, you can replace it with extra healing or extra taunt, it's just slightly less flexible.

    I'm really pissed off, this is higrolling mana-cheating again, if it's on curve it's gonna be really obnoxious, just like Prince Keleseth or Luna's Pocket Galaxy. Also, I started a year ago - my collection fcuking sucked until the rotation, because in no way could I affor all those high-power level cards like deathknights and so on; this is just that in a way that you cannot replace it with anything in a budget deck. I hope I am panicking and it's not gonna be so strong.

    Actually, you can combine it with Transmogrifier to change two bombs into two legendaries :D

    This seems really strong to me, even if we only consider pogos and scheme. It's only prohibited by rogue's vulnerability to aggro, but with growing number of strong neutral taunts like Khartut Defender and new Shield of Galakrond, it's gonna push over the edge to the first tiers all of the shuffle archetypes.

    I don't think it's that strong; you can get one or two 5/5s with it, but it will be immediately removed afterwards. It gives a board presence, but one good turn won' save your whole game and Flamewaker is rotating back to the Wild, so there's that.

    It will keep the deathrattle if it's a deathrattle card naturally; it won't keep any buffs, as they (with few exceptions Immortal Prelate) only transfer in one direction (deck>hand>board).

    Oh, yeah, I didn't consider handbuff, that's terrifying. But don't worry, Dragon Breeder is ok, buffs only travel in one direction (deck>hand>board).

    Damn, Restless Mummy is awesome; this is better, but the condition is harder. I'm really curious about Warrior Invokers, this card stands and falls on their power.
