assuming the warrior invoke cards will be designed to fit in some sort of dragon warrior, id say that if dragon warrior is any good, this card fits in that deck; dragon warrior would be a board focused midrange deck that looks to apply pressure somewhat early which means you will run out of steam approaching lategame. this provides you with refill and with extra stats for the board, the invoke effect is strong to contest the board as well.
however, idk what the upgraded effect is (is it draw 2/3 minions and give them +8+8/+12+12??? is it draw 2/3 minions give them +4+4, is it draw 1 minion give it +8+8/+12+12). edit: ok, nvm that last part, the upgraded effect is insane.
I think it fits better into an agro deck. Just think of the current agro warrior, remove a few of the weaker cards like Rampage to replace them with invoke minions, and then imagine that that deck transitions into Galakrond on 7 (ideally), which gives them a nice weapon, a super aggressive hero power and draws them 4 insanely strong minions. Imagine +4/+4 on minions like Kor'kron Elite, Leeroy Jenkins, Frothing Berserker, Restless Mummy, etc. Even their onedrops like Eternium Rover become huge tempo swings when they're 1 mana 5/7s.
I'm excited and more than a little scared to try that out. ^^
you still need to play 4 invoke cards to get the full effect though, which seem to be on the weaker side, which is fine if you can play galakrond, but if you dont draw him early enough you ll just lose on board against other aggro decks early, wont be able to put up enough pressure against control decks and you will get destroyed in midgame by midrange decks.
even disregarding those flaws though, playing a 7 mana arcanite reaper is not going to put aggro warrior on the map; this is by nature a value card, its cardraw, handbuff, removal and armor gain, you can compare it to ui in a way, although you need to semi build a deck around this to make it work, since 4 invoke cards are likely not enough, so just putting the 2 neutral invoke cards in that deck will likely not be enough, considering that both of those cards are far from aggro material i think its safe to say that getting your hopes up for playing this in an aggro deck is a bad idea, unless the warrior invoke cards are horribly broken
Galakrond, the first Dragon and the creator of all Dragons, can give you +3 attack with its hero power! Just about as strong as a spider-infested Malfurion of course.
Yea I've been demanding his HoF for a couple years LOL. (that's why i bring him up). He has too many cheap abuses for winning.
Not while Reborn taunts exist.
Nzoth rotates back to wild so not that of a problem
It doesn't matter, Galakrond isn't good for warriors (for now, subject to change) the only way this card becomes good is if they release some cards supporting it, warriors just can't face damage every turn anymore, they don't have the sustain. And building an aggro deck around a 7 drop? not going to happen, total pipedream, especially with reborn taunts in the game.
It is very good but only because of the battlecry it has but while Dr. Boom, Mad Genius is there, it will only be used for the buff and draw.
Far from truth. This is a card designed for an aggressive warrior list, which doesn't really want to play Dr. Boom, Mad Genius, but it sure as hell wants to play Galakrond. Control Warrior is not in a great spot right now, agro warrior is already better, and with the addition of Galakrond it becomes even more insane.
You're thinking of Galakrond in terms of a control warrior deck, in which case you'd be right, Galakrond won't see play there. You don't care about buffing your minions that much in that deck, and 3 damage is a downgrade over 2 armor for a control warrior hero power. Drawing 4 cards is also something you often want to avoid, because Control Warrior at the end of the day still relies on fatigue to win control matchups.
But in an agro deck? All of that gets turned around completely.
Everyone, including control warrior has Archivist Elysiana to deal with fatigue, Galakrond also helps you draw her. Personally I am going to experiment with a midrange mech warrior with both Galakrond and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.
I thought that yesterday, that it would look more in aggro decks because of the invoke effect. Do three damage without having a weapon is not bad at all.
You don't need help drawing Elysiana, you want to delay it, because the slower you draw the better you are in fatigue. Or, to put it another way, a control warrior with Galakrond will always lose to a regular control warrior in fatigue if both run Elysiana.
Good luck with your deck, something midrangey can probably work pretty well, but I still think the right home for Galakrond is in agro warrior.
Oh god. A 10/6 Leeroy and pretty hardcore face bash power. This can work in both Aggro and in Control...very strong card. Warrior never sucks, and this one really doesnt!
would be a 4 month of that only, leeroy gona get hall of fame next season
Because this kind of response is warranted. Do people like you screenshot these replies see and group DM your friends "hey look at me call this pleb out." There's a constructive way to respond, and then there's your pathetic, childish, negative way.
Yes, I also frame it and hang it on the wall.
Seems pretty nice for Tempo Warrior. Reload + Buff + Weapon (potentially) + Extra Attack from Hero Power that can be used for finishing the opponent or removing stuff. Control Warrior doesn't get too much from this but it's not completely unplayable in that deck either. After Dr. Boom leaves, this will fill the gap nicely enough. Though i think Control Warrior will choose the quest instead of this. Really cool card.
How bout you take it easy, why you gotta make things personal? No one cares about your macho games dude, just go do something else.
I just don't enjoy stupidity.
