I'm enjoying galakrond warrior right now. I'm only rank 9 on the ladder but the ladder itself is still about 60% shaman.
All variations of quest shaman galakrond or not.
I've seen very little pirate warrior or any of the other predicted really strong decks. galakrond quest shaman strength is it it can summon minions like nothing else. Turn 7 into an empty board it will spawn 5 minions if they have the quest done. Which can be followed up by an upgraded via quest galakrond even if they invoked nothing.

My initial impression on very few games on 2 decks.
Galakrond Pirate Warrior. I think the Pirate package is weak. I think there is a very good agro deck here, but I don't think it includes pirates.
Galakrond Quest Shaman - This will be a thing. I think it will filter back towards what Quest Shaman was before this when control decks start coming online. Right now jamming 4 8/8 rush for 9 mana wins you all the games, that won't always be true.

Control Warrior will be good again. But IDK if Galakron is good as the old Dr. Boom one. To compete with Galakrond Shaman you need a lot of board clear and ability to destroy their shit. The Galakrond stuff like Scion of Ruin, Dragonlancer (3/2 thing that executes if wounded and dragon), Awaken! Seems objectively worse than using devastate, omega obliterator, and brawls to clear the board out.
Guess its still too early though. The only deck I really liked last expansion before the stupid event of 70% evolve quest Shaman idiocy was Highlander Hunter and control warrior. Might be the same this time around.
I straight up played casual mode just to play against other decks than fucking shaman. Which is ridiculous. I'd really like for Handlock to be a thing again.

It's nothing but Shaman and Rogue at high ranks now because Quest Galakrond Shaman can run 20 anti aggro cards and still get free win against all control decks due to infinite Shudderwocks. Rogue is the only deck that can beat it because it has the destroy all copies everywhere legendary to terminate the Shudderwocks.

Galakrond battlecries make 2/1s, the 5/4 rush corruptor (I forget name) battlecry makes one of them into a copy of Shudderwock, Lynchen copies Shudderwock.

Format would be decent if Skyshiv was a neutral card. Galakrond Shaman is exploitable as it has no staying power at all if you handle the two 8/8s and would absolutely die to any slow midrange or control deck but nope two card infinite Shudderwock combo, anything that's good against it autoloses.

I just don't understand why Shaman would get a double invoke card for 5 that doesn't even have overload on it. While simultaneously the shaman invoke being the absolute best for anti-aggro. It's mildly annoying to run all the invoke cards for most classes. Warrior invokes aren't that great. But any invoke for shaman is decent because of the 2/1 rush it generates. Getting a fully invoked Galakrond is by far the easiest for shaman.
4 mana 2/2 invoke neutral rush card is just that. Except for shaman its a 2/2 rush and a 2/1 rush for 4 mana. You'd play that shit even IF it wasn't a Galakrond thing if that was what it did for all classes.
I really want to craft the Warlock legendaries but I just know I'll be relegated to playing in Casual Mode only with them. But damn I love handlock.

I meant the corrupted elementalist that invokes Galarond twice. Upgrading it with a 5 drop immediately. Fully upgrading it on turn 7 and doing a 3/3 + 4x 2/1 with rush if you're running quest.
This is before you drop Galakrond on turn 9 for the 5/2 weapon and 4x 8/8 w/rush.
