Galakrond Quest Rogue - #44 Legend (Pizza) - Galakrond's Awakening
You dont know how good this list ist :D. Abusing the quest for insane synergy with Questing and Shadowstep/Edwin/Coins. I laddered with between Rank 4 and 3. Its just insane. Probably the best Rogue Deck out there right now!
Murloc Paladin - Early #3 Legend (Raindrop) - Galakrond's Awakening
Just take a look at his post on Twitter. He went 38-20 to reach legend.
Quest Hunter - Early #1 Legend (moritarou) - Galakrond's Awakening
This deck has no chance against Embiggen Druid. And my Rank Meta is like 35% of it.
Minion Animations / Triggers Will Be Sped Up Significantly In Regular Game Too
Frothing Berserken, Eterium Rover and Armorsmith…. I had a game, where my turn was skipped :D. Finally they do something. Cause iam a Reno Mage main. whooopppy
Galakrond's Awakening Adventure Guide - 35 New Cards, Four Chapters, Launches January 21!
Looks like Mage, Hunter, Druid and Pally will get a new Hero?
How long do they stay in standard?
Nerf Patch (16.0.8) Coming Later This Week - Nerfs to Fiendish Rites, Scion of Ruin, Ancharrr, Dragon's Pack, Invocation of Frost, Necrium Apothecary and Dragonqueen Alexstrasza
I dont see any problems with the nerfs. based on data drawn and played winrates of Ancharr and Apothecary are way over 70%!!!! Invocation is just a better Glacial Shard and that alone was a really good card for 1 mana. So 2 mana for freeze (also face) and 2/1 with rush is way more balanced. Scion nothing more to add. Talking about data, there is no really huge powerspike in highlander rogue, its just a good deck like highlander hunter too. The class card package from hunter and rogue now are just better than some other classes, thats why highlander versions are Pretty decent. Highlander mage is one of my most played archetypes this expansion. Well teched its totally busted and you are going to farm shamans and rogues as hell! By increasing the cost of any invoke, the curve should slow down a bit i guess. So Warlock will be fine after that. I totally disagree with 1-2 class supremacy. It will be really really balanced! And hunter will not be the top! If hunter will, there will be at least 3 or 4 more classes with same classwinrates.

I like the nerfs, especially Dragons Pack. You can clear now one Wolf with Dagger/Evis, Flamestrike/Ping, both with Reno. Will be much less threatening.

Getting 3200 dust, than you can recraft it for 1600 (normal) ;).

I do consider dusting the Ancharr… cause i dont like the style of pirates at all. Well…i do have 30k dust…. so i dont mind at all. But the winrate of the deck right now is insane, but very low popularity (like 5% average from rank 5 to 1).

Wow, i nearly predicted 90% of that. And i really really like this stuff!
My Summary: Mage, Druid, Hunter and Pally will profit for sure!
Highlander Mage will be closing the gap a bit more.
Highlander Rogue will sky rocket!
Highlander Hunter will come closer to tier 1 too!
Hand Warlock will close the gap to the power rolls from galakronds too.
Priest will be a bit more viable.
Top Tier Winrate Classes will be nearly the same percentage.
All Galakrond Decks will remain strong. But the Powerspikes will come later in the game, giving Highlander and some midrange stuff more time to get the game.
5/5 for me (a bit worried if 5 Mana Apothecary is enough….)
16.0.5 Balance Update - Nerfs to Corrupt Elementalist, Sludge Slurper, Faceless Corruptor, Mogu Fleshshaper + Battlegrounds Changes - December 19
Will it be enough?
Welcome back HunterStone, i missed you!
Priest still the crap on earth… holy cow.
Warlock, Mage and Rogue will profit the most.
Deathrattle Rogue Tier 1, Facehunter Tier 1, Galakrond Zoo Warlock and Hand Lock Decent Top of tier 2. Pirate Warrior Tier 1 too.
Oh dear….
Descent of Dragons Card List & Expansion Guide! Release Date, Card Reveals, Pre-Purchase Info, New Mechanics and More!
Totally with you mate. The powerlevel so far seems huge!
A lot of “discover” stuff and Dragons Dragons Dragons!
Huge synergy with “If you are holding a Dragon”.
And than these 5 heroes for free. I mean it feels like Blizzard learned a lot.
The opening speech on the mainstage was huge and very well thought out.
That was simply incredible.
Overwatch 2, Diablo 4. Most people were not excited for the Hearthstone stage. But for me, as a part of that community mostly, iam hyped for all games and cinematics they showed us. I had tears in my eyes after Overwatch 2. Holy cow.

Thats not correct orderwise.
You dont get the lackey if you havent played your Galakrond.
“”Add a random lackey to hand”, so for 5 mana you get a 4/5 taunt, a buff to your Galakrond (assuming you haven’t played it yet), and a random lackey in hand.”
So you dont get the Lackey for playing that 4/5 taunt, if there is no Galakrond. 🙂
So play Invoke 2 times each, to upgrade it, wherever Galakrond is. You dont upgrade him, if he is played already and if he is active your Invoke cards will trigger your Heropower.
Just to clarify, iam sure you meant that.
What iam not sure about: You can use your heropower for 2 mana anyway. Does is trigger twice a turn? With Invoke once and than by 2 Mana?

Simple question with simple answer for sure:
every class is getting a Galakrond?
Brian Kibler and Thatsadmirable Step down from Casting Grandmasters Finals in the Wake of Recent Events
Iam not really deep into all that stuff. What i heard and read, Brian Kibler motivated others to do a statement too. And he used other platforms than twitch, or a live cast. Toast said, if they re-ban him, he will start to stream Hearthstone again, lol.
I read a lot on twitter where i found out that blitzchung made a mistake by not following the rules. On the other hand i think, Blizzard made a huge mistake by banning him. I cant even discribe it in words and all the troubles coming from that.
Good Job Brian! You are a hack of a man! I really like him and his statement. And admirable doin the same now, and many many others will follow.
This is huge.
