I think you’re being VERY pessimistic about the quality of the class invoke cards, but I see your point about the neutrals and the future for these cards without any upcoming support. Galakrond, should it be overshadowed by a future strategy, will likely become dead for a few of the classes. Of the 5 now I think Rogue is the only one with no hope whatsoever. Priest and Warrior (and possibly shaman) will have the most longevity with their versions, but who knows? Maybe dragons/pirates just squashes everything come the end of the month. Hopefully those 35 new adventure cards support some aspect of these decks to keep them relevant. 

All players will receive all five copies of Galakrond for free, plus three free DoD packs. Not sure if there’s anything else included but five legendaries for free is pretty good imo

Agreed, definitely regarding handlock. Cards released are waaaayyy to slow to operate against the likes of Tempo rogue or Pirate Warrior. Dragon Hunter also seems weak, but I'm curious to see if the hero power/smORC archetype takes off at all

Yeah, I figure that if they choose to nerf some of the cards in the deck, It will most likely be an Epic or Legendary card and I’ll get a big dust return on it. 

Thanks for the reply!

So I’ve enjoyed the expansion thus far, and I’ve enjoyed a plethora of different high WR decks on ladder. However, I’ve never touched Mage since RoS, and I want to get back into the class. 

Obviously the decks available for the class right now are insanely expensive, but I was lucky enough to get a Golden Zephrys from pre-order AND I just packed a golden Reno today. I feel like the game is telling me something, and I have the dust to spare to craft the remaining 4 legendaries needed for a Reno Mage deck (Luna, Luna’s PG, Kalecgos, Phaoris).

The deck looks super fun, but is this worth the big spend? Looking for people’s opinions. 

I'm still using a kangor's deck, do you think you could drop the full decklist in this thread? or maybe a link that can be copied? Thanks!

I find it incredibly ironic that Finley is only good in this deck most of the time as a statless 2/3 murloc. I'm just happy I packed him otherwise I'd have no incentive to craft him. 

Also how is this deck as good as it is?? I don't understand how I've managed to go 9-2 with it this morning. I'm assuming that once all the old decks resurface this will probably not hit as hard as it does now, but what a time to be a murloc!

50 packs and only got hack the system and Finley. Got HTS first pack and Finley on the 37th.

got 2k gold to spend so here’s to hoping. Very disappointed thus far since this set is bonkers

Yeah it’s a broken opener with the 4 patches, but I’ve had the same big Hunter deck all brawl and have had no problemslaying those warriors

70 Packs, got 5 legendaries not including Tak Nozwhisker with the pre order.

-Nomi

-Elysiana

-Hagatha

-Togwaggle

-Veresa

Pretty expected results tbh. My expectations were super high going in considering the attached post was my 3rd pack in.

Nope. New tokens that are just 1/1s and don't change when silenced.

I agree that the Meta will likely be hyper aggro initially, but I think if it ever shifted to midrange/value tak would shut everything else out no question

 #5. Dreamway Gaurdians: this card has incredible potential with buffs and is a solid enough card on its own. I can see this card run in multiple druid archtypes just because of how solid and reliable it will be.

#4. Forbidden Words: This card gives priest flexible removal that it desperately needed. Will see play in every priest archetype for that reason. Also twilight drake hype.

#3. Underbelly Angler: People are seriously sleeping on this card. It's such a dangerous threat to fill a previously empty board with Murlocs that all have synergies with each other. It can also just win the game by providing an endless stream of value. I see this carrying a fast shaman deck alongside Sludge Slurper.

#2. Mana Cyclone: It should be fairly obvious that this is a good card. Just the fact that with one spell it's great says a lot, and in the right deck it will literally break the game. Small mage is going to be DANGEROUS.

#1. Tak Nozwhisker: I think people agree that rogue got some amazing support this expansion, and this card is the nail in the coffin for me. I can only imagine what games will be like when as early as turn 8, this + Preparation + Academic Espionage happens and next turn havoc is wrecked. I'm just wondering what potential nerfs to that deck would look like.

Feel free to correct me on this list, but these are all certainly contenders.

While the idea is fun, It's concerning to see no AoE removal in the deck. Could use a vanish possibly

1820 dust, Had to be a Cenarius of course, even when I'm missing Tirion and Edwin...

But for real though, feeling blessed by the RNG right now.
