I got to thinking about this mechanic and how it could be applied to different builds. I think some decks could benefit from some of the invoke cards IF you could skip on Galakrond.
Does it work like C'Thun, in which you could benefit from his mechanic's peripheral effects (such as activating Twin Emperor Vek'lor)? It's not unbelievable, since each of the five EVIL classes that have Galakronds would have their specific invoke tied to them, and the four "hero" classes would simply gain no benefit from invokes.
I think certain cards and decks could benefit from invoke (like Hack the System's upgraded hero power) if they didn't have to commit a slot in the deck for Galakrond. Not necessarily stating any of these would be influential in the meta, but this would give us a deeper understanding of invoke.

The first Galakrond you gain control of, either in your hand or deck, becomes your “main Galakrond”. Usually this is the Galakrond you included in your deck, but it can also be one you stole from your opponent or received through some other crazy shenanigans. This means any Invoke cards will upgrade this Galakrond and trigger its Hero Power effect. Note that, like Quests, cards with the Invoke keyword and the five collectible Galakrond cards cannot be generated by random effects, such a Discover.
In cases where your deck contains multiple versions of Galakrond, such as Tavern Brawls that allow cards from multiple classes, your main Galakrond will be the one that matches your class, if possible. Otherwise it will be the first Galakrond detected by the game. Once determined, your main Galakrond remains the same for the rest of the game unless it’s destroyed, transformed, or you replace your Hero with a different version of Galakrond. Once you play a Galakrond, that becomes your main Galakrond until you replace it again.
One final thing to note is that when you Invoke, it is Galakrond himself that is rewarding you for your efforts. If you don’t have a Galakrond as your Hero, or in your hand or deck, then Invoking has no effect. So, if you steal and play an Invoke card from your opponent, you won’t get any benefit from the Invoke effect unless you have a Galakrond.
wait dumb question maybe but what if a class steals your galakrond through deck switching shenanigans etc.?
Did you even tryed looking for an answer?

Looking for what exactly? Seriously all of us are wondering if this is a real post.
I was looking for an answer to my question. I didn't realize this had been explained already, and totally missed the new post that explains Galakron and the invoke mechanic.
it's a real post, I just didn't have the information before now.
Is it that confusing that I was looking for information and asked for help finding it?

Sicknatos, don't feel bad. The only dumb question is the one not asked. We're all guilty of sometimes overlooking, or not being aware of, a resource that has the answer to our question. When that happens, we do what humans naturally do; we ask for help.
I'm glad you got your answer. Not too thrilled about how the community attitude came at you, but it's whatever. There are something like 100 million Hearthstone players in the world. This forum makes up .01% of them, if that makes you feel any better. I guarantee you weren't the only one with this question, but you were the only one that asked.

Doesn't bother me a bit. This community is a source of entertainment for me! It's why I made my avatar the lowest rating I ever got on a comment.
Appreciate the humanity and understanding, though! Pretty sure you're one of the dads on here, like myself, right?

Yes indeed! I have a whole colony going, with my oldest living up in Seattle (22), and my youngest at home (2).

This page shows everything that galakrond and invoke cards can and what they can't
https://playhearthstone.com/en-us/blog/23190444/draconic-details-getting-to-know-galakrond
your'e probably looking for this part:
Because it doesn't work , as simple as that
You will not get the invoke effect if you don't run Galakrond
Try Highlander Wild with quest but dont do stupid stuff with Invoke (my opinion). its a bad syngery what you are trying to mix i think
wait dumb question maybe but what if a class steals your galakrond through deck switching shenanigans etc.?
mainly because

So like, could I play Quest Paladin if I don’t have the quest?

I highly doubt anyone expected that you could buff C'thun without him in your deck either.
Someone asks a legit question and gets a bunch of sarcastic replies. Great job everyone.
