I've been saving a bit and came up with 1400 gold and 8400 dust
Since I don't have full BRM Adventure (I was planning just buy it with $) and missing some cards from all expansions,  should I go for Adventure with gold or buy 14 packs and then craft what I want? I was thinking a long time to craft Raza the Chained and Shadowreaper Anduin, but since it's going in Wild pretty soon (Which I want to start play) I'm a bit questioning, will it still be good to do so. Any advice you can give me? 

Hmm... I would wait a little more for more input from others... but yes one of those should be the way to go.

Others have spoken.

Missing some of the highlander priest legendaries. Prophet velen isn't in all highlander priest but was playing in all 16 highlander priest lineups at HCT

I think that there are two parts here.

1.) Since I don't have full BRM Adventure (I was planning just buy it with $) and missing some cards from all expansions,  should I go for Adventure with gold or buy 14 packs and then craft what I want?

I think you should ask yourself if you should buy BRM now or wait latter. You have 5 legendaries in dust. I think now is a pretty safe time if you are interested in any of these cards:

Imp Gang Boss, Dragon Consort, Flamewaker, Blackwing Corruptor, Fireguard Destroyer, Chromaggus, Lava Shock, Demonwrath

Dark Iron Skulker and  Twilight Whelp isn't bad to have in your collection either.

Two wings have pretty bad legendaries: Majordomo Executus & Rend Blackhand

I think that the last wing only really offers Blackwing Corruptor.

I think Flamewaker is a very good card to have and its nice to know exactly where you gold is going into... it might be a good time for you but will you use these cards (tavern brawl, adventures, fireside gathering, vs friends, wild?) I would suggest paying gold for the adventure...

I'm not sure it is worth it. 

2.) I was thinking a long time to craft Raza the Chained and Shadowreaper Anduin, but since it's going in Wild pretty soon (Which I want to start play) I'm a bit questioning, will it still be good to do so.

Are you a standard only player?

I love this combo but i feel like you benefit from having the classic legendary. I think that this set is very powerful (plus kazakus). Once in wild you have Reno. This set up may grow with additional one off cards making the deck a slow wallet hero. You pay along the way with small changes to the deck.

Just so you know, a new guide is on the way. All legendaries, including wild ones, will be listed from Tier S (only Patches the Pirate atm. IMO) and then tier 1-5. If you have suggestions as to which belong where, please post them here, we will read them!

 I will think more about the whole situation, thank you so much for putting time in this answer!

Should I craft Lyra the Sunshard or Prophet Velenfor Highlander Priest.

In all honesty, I don't know how the next meta will turn out to be. I will always think, that Prophet Velen is more of a meta specific card, so I would say don't craft him, even though he is a staple in current HIghlander priest decks. Tbh I don't remember the last time I saw the priest's classic legendary being used. Maybe somewhere back in LoE, when control priest had all the strong wild cards (and the card pool was small).

Lyra on the other hand proved to be a safe craft due to various reasons. She was strong in silence priest, in control, in miracle and I even believe, that in some dragon decks she was also included. Not to mention in current Raza priest. Soo she will definitely be strong in the next expansion, my money on that.

When i see several people use the word recraft in the posts on this page i tend to think some people might DE cards ab it fast.

The mere fact a card hasn't been used last month or even 2 months doesn't make it a terrible card worth DE'ing.
I can understand DE'ing cards that have never been used, but Medivh and Jaraxxus have been used a lot in the past.

Everytime you DE and recraft a legendary you lose 1200 dust, so you need to be real sure you won't ever need that card again before DE'ing it.

 I agree with this thoughtful post. However, if you are _only_ looking at highlander priest, I think Velen is a more important card to that deck than Lyra. There's also the argument that Velen will never rotate out, where Lyra will rotate at some point.

All that said, I still think Lyra is probably the smarter card to craft, for the reasons you outlined. I just wanted to help Allankap5 make an informed decision by posting the counterarguments.

I'm not going to disagree on what you said. Maybe I wasn't objective enough and I should have went through all the sides of the card - the advantages and the disadvantages. But it's mainly because I only see him being good in that deck and nowhere else.
