Well, glinda + banker + an echo version is a 10 mana combo. You just have to play 2 cards and you are set up. If the opponent constantly tries to remove her, then she will eat a lot of resources, eventually she will stay on the board and you will be able to copy the valuable minions (Elise, giants, you name it). *Clears throat* How competitive (and rewarding) this little combo will turn out to be, especially when Rin will stay for 3 expansions more... Well, I'm not starting a debate. It's just a fun combo I thought of.
Kinda like the Brann BronzebeardShadowcaster one for rogues, but instead of putting 1/1s in your hand, you put the minions in your deck instead.

Well if Glinda can find some sort of closer leveraging the combo you outlined I think it's a solid possibility of seeing play. I don't think Rin precludes Glinda, if Glinda can find her own deck type then there will just be multiple warlock deck types to play around with.
Glinda, Summoning Portal , Gnomeferatu(or any 2 mana or less minion ?) on other hand, would be a solid combo vs control deck.
Mountain giant isn't that hard. The card replaces itself in your hand cause of echo so not too bad. Obviously can't get a full board but you can get pretty close. Gnomeferatu is interesting combo set up but seems kinda difficult to actually pull off as one of those minions is going to have stick to the board for a turn, which is unlikely against control. But the same issue applies to giants. Soooo, yeah. Glinda I think is going to be a bit difficult to utilize same turn with anything but 1 or 2 drops. I mean you could drop Glinda, then four Voodoo Witch doctors and heal for 8 and get a total 11/11 worth of stats on the board. 3/7 of which is a MUST KILL NOW target. Not too shabby really. Or even Elven archer wouldn't be too shabby. But all of these plays are 10 mana, two card plays which involves actually putting Voodoo witch doctor or Elven archer in your deck.
Was one of the first legendaries I got for the new set and can't really seem to use her. She costs too much to play and then use immediately (at most you get one extra copy of a 2-cost minion) and then she draws massive enemy fire - they will do anything to eliminate her. So.... where's the pay off?
I initially thought she was too expensive to use, but it turns out there are good Zoo Warlock decks that use her due to her synergy with Sea Giant and Snowflipper Penguin. I do have this card, and regret that I can't finish any such decks because I lack a second Sea Giant and am saving my dust for the time being.
Sadly Glinda does not work with Corridor Creeper. It works though with giants, and I'm playing a Spiteful/Keleseth deck with Glinda, Summoning Portals and Sea giants and it's working quite well.
The key is definitely Summoning Portal = not only does it reduce her cost to [4], it also reduces any 1, 2, or 3 cost minions to [1]. Meaning on turn 7 you can play Glinda Crowskin + 3 copies of a 1, 2, or 3 cost minion
OR
Turn 8, Glinda Crowskin + 4 copies of a 1, 2, or 3 cost minion
AND
If you can get a second Portal out, you can easily flood the board with whatever. Phantom Militia is a REALLY useful blocker in this deck, since Portal makes it [1] with its echo and taunt already built in.
I love this art

Arcane Giant and Molten Giant are rotating out. Wth you guys talking about
Very hard to pull a board full of Sea Giant and Mountain Giant off.

Ravencaller makes her more usable in standard

Have to say - she's way more fun and strong than I have expected. Really glad, that I opened her from a pack.

Totally broken in wild especially with Naga
