"if you ignore the Invoke (since we don't know it's value in the real world)"
No clue what you mean here, but we do know that if a Warlock invokes Galakrond, you summon two 1/1 minions. This is before playing the Galakrond hero card and has been officially announced.
Terrible minion with an irrelevant battlecry as it just dies to a simple ping or a weak 1/1 minion (like a lackey). It's not worth adding this card to a deck just for the sake of invoking Galakrond. It doesn't help that the Warlock version of Galakrond seems to be the worst one as of now. Just use the 5 mana 4/5 neutral taunt card.
I don't think some of you are clear on how these 'Invoke' cards work. This card will trigger the Galakrond hero power effect for the Warlock version, and thus summon 2 1/1 minions in addition to being its own body. Not all that bad and more akin to a Desert Hare, but better.
This is a lazy move because they don't want to balance the buckets after every 2-month arena rotation (not that they did it successfully in the first place). They're admitting defeat without admitting the rotating arena sets idea is a disaster. It sounded fun but in reality it was always going to be difficult to balance.
I suggest hitting up https://wow.gamepedia.com/Wowpedia for finding names. Once upon a time, I used to name all my in-game pets within WoW and this was always my resource for finding some gems. Not to mention you can also get lost in some of the lore (if you're into that sort of thing).
With the addition of Cyclones and extra spells aggro is less of a problem, so thinning the deck with Arcanologist vs. waiting for Mad Scientist to die (or get silenced, ignored, etc.) can be preferable. Sorcerer's Apprentice could certainly be a 2-of but I was having trouble finding cards to ditch (which is why there aren't even any Blizzards).
Okay so I've tried all sorts of changes. Deathlords, Dancing Swords and even Nat the Darkfisher, but none of them really worked that well. The latest change I made though has performed well and that is to include Mana Cyclones/Evocations, and no Blizzards. Essentially, just draw and complete the quest as fast as possible. Here's a really fun game I played earlier... I managed to put the Druid to -186!
I've also been toying around with Deathlord. It helps with aggro nicely and obviously helps thin your opponent's deck. I think you can easily climb to rank 5 with this version of exodia.
If you want to make this deck really competitive, I'd say add the Apprentices back in and lose Poly/Galaxy. They're just so powerful in combination with Magic Trick, Ray of Frost, Bananas, Glyph, etc.
I'm pretty much always maxed out on deck slots. I do purge several now and then, but ultimately I'd like for more to be added. However, I somehow doubt it's high on the priority list for the developers considering how long we had to beg for them to increase it from the original nine.

I prefer the Vargoth/Time Warp fatigue combo package and making your opponent go into the negative 100's.
It's kind of broken in Wild when paired with Radiant Elemental. Perhaps they were also considering this.

Wow, -120 rating! You might have trouble recovering from that.
