I don't think it's the strongest. In fact, I'd argue shaman have the strongest invoke card now with Invocation of Frost. This card is a 1 mana 1/2 Draw a random priest minion. Theirs is a 1 mana 2/1 Rush, Freeze an enemy. It's like mini Frostbolt where you can divvy up the value.
Don't get me wrong though, I think this card is very good and assuming a Priest Galakrond deck takes, Disciple of Galakrond makes the cut every time. I think the chances of that are actually pretty high. As such, I'm voting Very Good.
I agree. Priest's Galakrond invokes IMO has the least reliable board impact. Warriors get 3 attack, Shaman get 2/1 rush, Warlocks get two 1/1s and Rogues get a Lackey in hand, which can largely be played immediately. Priests on the other hand get something completely random which may or may not be readily playable. This makes it much harder for priests to invoke effectively because you simply cannot rely on the invoke effect nearly as much as the other classes can.
I will say that when it comes to overall value, Priest's Galakrond is unmatched. A random priest minion will almost always be better than anything the other classes will get. The problem is getting to that point, which the other classes can undoubtedly do much more effectively. Still though, I think Priest Galakrond will do well in the upcoming meta as a Tier 2 deck.

Completely agree on this.
Also, about this card, it is a bit awkward, since the galakrond priest is more a control oriented deck; so, having a 1/2 dude that adds a random class minion wouldn't be so good. Imagine playing this in latter turns? I'd rather have some taunt minion. I think this card is just average. Nothing fancy.

1 mana 1/2 invoke and add a random priest minion to your hand. Great card.
A very cheap invoke card, that gives you early access to some strong evokes and also a card in your hand. Probably the strongest invoke card yet.

I like this card, but priest is gonna have trouble invoking enough to power up it's Galakrond.

Priest also lacks card draw, which you really want in a Galakrond deck.
It costs 1, it gives another card, and it could give itself.
History has shown thats good enough for any class card
This came way too late. The pieces might exist in wild for a minion centric priest deck to exist, but nothing will support it at the moment now.
Completely agree on this.
