Works well with Princess Talanji

Card might (hopefully) actually see some play.

I think you make an excellent point here honestly. If you can generate even 2 reasonable minions with the hero power and drop Talanji on the board, it becomes a serious threat. That shouldn't be too difficult, especially with Invoke generating even more minions throughout the game for her to drop. I think Talanji has a real chance of seeing play in the next expansion. Pretty exciting.

I'm pretty sure this card actually will see play in the upcoming meta with a new control priest deck, but more for it being an extremely powerful late game removal tool and less for the hero power.

Being able to kill 4 random enemy minions with no other restrictions (they don't have to have 5 or more attack like Shadowreaper Anduin), as well as equip a 5/2 weapon (which has never been a reliable option in Priest), just makes it a stupidly powerful removal tool at 7 mana.

The hero power isn't where the card shines (IMO), though it's not useless either. The priest Galakrond hero power generates more actual late game value than either of the revealed Rogue or Warlock versions. And while there are definitely a few duds that can be generated, most priest minions are pretty useful at any given time. In fact, going over the priest minions in standard currently, the only ones I really don't want to see are Northshire Cleric (no more heal hero power), Test Subject (probably), Lightwell and Quartz Elemental. Those minions would be pretty much duds. The rest of them range from acceptable to extremely good.

I can also see this being played in rez priest just for it's powerful removal utility, even if the hero power is counter-productive (you don't want to muddy the rez pool). Basically, once both Mass Res's have been played, the hero power becomes useful and that deck can always use more removal.

So yeah, I think we'll see Priest Galakronds running around in the upcoming meta. But, only time will tell.
