I think this will get relegated to meme status early on. Sure, someone will feature some highrolling deck to feature on day one, think the King Phaoris Paladin deck, but that will be it. Random legendaries probably won't cut it.
I think this will just need some clever ideas on where to use it for a one mana cheat. I like the ideas I saw earlier on using it for 11 mana plays. Double battlecry Shudderwocks in standard quest shaman anyone?
This is going to be a strong card. It even has the health to be playable on curve and have a good chance of lasting long enough that you can get value off the hero power the next turn. The real question is what are the chances that a Warlock or Hunter can randomly generate this on the field?
The captain got a promotion. I like it. Lots of good synergies with existing decks. If there is a way to run pirates in a quest deck, this will get even better.
I just don't see this getting much play. 10 cost cards need to be able to help you win the game that turn. This just hopefully delays your opponent's actions and sets you behind on mana to win the next turn.
I love this card. Absolutely fair stats for the effect. Sure you can wait to the late game to fill the board but three of the lackeys generate cards in hand or put another minion on board,so hand management will be crucial. Should be fun even if not game winning.
As someone else already mentioned, this is a single target lightbomb with a minion attached. Useful for cannot be target minions, a situational substitution for the shadow word spells, possible evolve target with lackeys. It just needs a deck that needs such a card.
If this finds a deck to fit in, it will be a frustrating card to deal with. Can't be targeted makes many of the methods of dealing with the reborn side difficult. I think it will work or somewhere.
I knew it wasn't good going in to the deck. My real motivation in creating the deck this way was being too lazy to search for Galakrond, add those cards, and then autocomplete. I guess I just underestimated how not good it was. When the best deck with Galakrond is actually a bad version of a non Galakrond deck with him thrown in, that says a lot.
I'm sure there are some high rolls that could be amazing. I'll throw it in my Priest meme deck for the odd chance of awesomeness. I doubt it will make much impact though.
The wording suggests it will be a random card. It would be amazing if it were discover, but that would probably be too busted and give too much info. I love that there is more hand disruption possibility. I really wish there was a good neutral option for it. I guess this does give Warlock a niche role of possibly having a control game plan and still messing with combo decks. Now if only they had a decent control deck in standard.
I'm giving it 5 stars just because it is a hero card. I really am interested in the hero power. Maybe 2x random damage among all enemies? Love the battlecry.
When the autocomplete function is used, the deck populates on the screen. In my case, I didn't pay attention to it because I presumed a certain set of cards would be included. Couple that with the fact that I wasn't planning to play the deck competitively means I just didn't look at it before heading into play mode.
As the other reply said, it will only use cards in your deck to complete. If you want decent suggestions on what decks you can almost make with your collection, I reccomend using hsreplay.net. Download their decktracker to get your collection in their system. Then you can sort decks by win rate, select the option of only showing decks you can create, and then put a dust cost in the filter for how much you might be willing or able to spend. That will let you get a good idea of what is in reach for you.
I had the " Play three games as..." quest and one of them was priest. I hadn't played much Galakrond Priest since goofing around in week one of the expansion, so I thought I would pop over to casual and goof around with it. I am not a good deck builderso most of the time in these situations I pick the key cards I want to play with and let the game complete the deck. I grabbed Galakrond, hit autocomplete, and headed into casual to goof around with randomly generated priest minions from the invoke effect.
I was slightly confused when my opening hand had the quest in it. I opened it back in the day but have never played it because I don't much care for the style. I don't have a full collection but do have all the commons and rares from each set so I thought maybe there was some odd combination of cards I owned that did something interesting. I drew Galakrond pretty quick but was frustrated by not drawing any invoke cards. I figured it was just my luck to have all the fun aspects of the deck at the bottom. The more cards I drew, the more it looked like some odd version of quest ressurect priest. I don't own [Hearthstone Card (Catarina Muerte) Not Found] but almost everything else from that deck surfaced. Since I thought I was playing to get to Galakrond (it even put two Hench-Clan Thug in the deck), I didn't play well and lost. I decided to go back and look at the cards in my deck and discovered that there were zero invoke cards in it. That's right, it put in Kronx Dragonhoof and the thugs, but didn't give me anything else to use with it, much less upgrade to get the 5/2 claw so the thugs could get buffed. I just don't know what to think or if I can trust the autocomplete function again.
Edit: I would have to create the deck on the site to post it in the thread. It was pretty bad and I dont want anyone else thinking I really came up with it so I'll just leave it out.
There is an easy 'long and hard' joke in there, but I don't want this to Devolve into a Reddit thread.
Congrats to the five of you.
My favorite moment of 2019 was finally getting to rank 5.
For 2020 I'm looking forward to Blizzard continuing their philosophy of frequent tweaks that keep the game fresh.

I don't know what to think of this one. I haven't played enough druid recently to know if this card fills any needs in the current decks.

I don't know about this one. I think wild dude decks will fit it in, but there isn't much in standard right now.

I'm undecided here. Is mech Paladin one early reborn card away from working again? I'm unimpressed, but what do I know?
