I'd make the jugglers. Important card for so many decks right now, including the one you want to play. And odds are very good that in a month you can get all your dust back from them when they nerf it. Or if they don't nerf it... you'll want to have them anyways.

When I first started, I always tried to avoid crafting common cards. Odds are good you'll pick up most commons quickly from pack rewards.

 Yeah.. these decks are going to go from very bad and useless to extremely bad and useless. 

This makes things more unfair. If you can craft a deck that does better with coin for example, you in theory get an advantage in 75% of games, instead of it being 50/50 as it is today. I'd rather they keep the game balanced... 

Since a few people asked, here's the deck I used for legend this season. I played it to a 15-5 record starting at rank 2 to move into legend, and I've been keeping up the momentum (now 21-6 with it) to top 500 legend. 

Just hit legend for my third time (first in like 6 months though) - I played tempo mage and druid to rank 3 and then tried several decks that basically all went 50% win rate before breaking through with Control warrior. Went 15-5 with control warrior on NA server yesterday and today. Final boss rank 100 legend freeze mage :) Someone gave me that matchup specifically to reward me for choosing CW. 

Haven't bothered going for legend for the last 6 seasons - was too focused on getting all heroes golden finally. Back on the war path to legend again this season just to reprove to myself that I've still got it. At r2 full stars now... just need to flip the coin well a few more times! Been alternating between Zoo, Tempo Mage, and face shaman so far this season, switching each time I take a loss. Helps keep me sane during the grind.

Very close to 1600 dust, i need a little advice.

I have Dr. Boom and Sylvanas Windrunner as my Top-level Legendary's. I'm wondering what is next for me?

In my mind im thinking (in order of likely-hood):

• Ysera (But thats sort of beenreplaced by Rafarm, has it not?)
• Justicar Trueheart (I'm playing a fair amoutn of control warrior and control priest, is that really a Win-Condition though?)
• Tirion Fordring (I don't really play paladin that much though)
• Archmage Antonidas (Idon't play tempo mage too often and don't have the rest of the important cards to play Freeze).

So what do you think? Or any other ideas? (I also don't have Grom, Alex, Maly, Lord J or Thalnos if you think any of those may be better)

Thanks in Advance.

Hey guys, I have about 5.6 K dust saved, and I am thinking of using some of it. I am actually playing Renolock (Thadius version), some paladin, very little mage and rogue. 

Good legendaries I have: Tirion Fordring, Lord Jaraxxus, Sylvanas Windrunner, Dr. Boom

Legendaries i was thinking of: Mal'Ganis, Ysera

Anyone has some ideas? I have been having so much fun playing Renolock, that i cant think of a good legendary to craft because it wont fit in that deck. Help!

I dont play mage but is good to save archmage antodias?

How far have you gotten in previous seasons? 

I'm happy to help some, if you're already fairly close. If you're not consistently hitting high ranks, then the best way to learn is not to have a coach hold your hand but rather to read all the free resources available on sites like this and to watch some of the top streamers play.

Well, I actually wasn't intending to push this season, but I just hit legend again (2x now for me). Played Zoo the entire season, with slight modifications throughout to tech the deck. Ended on a 6 game win streak (didn't lose at all in rank 1) with a string of favorable match ups. 

Played to a 60% win rate for the season overall - didn't track difference after rank 5, though I think I slowed down closer to 55% if I had to guess.

Deck list I landed on was fairly standard Imp Zoo, but I cut Dr. Balanced for a Sylvanas, added a Sea Giant, cut the flame imps for argent squires instead, and teched in a Kezan and an Ooze to counter the decks I kept seeing.

I'm guessing he actually means legendaries, not epics, or else this post makes 0% sense instead of 10% sense.

Got legend last night with mage for 1st time. Was playing Janos version until rank 2 and than changed it a bit with 2x Kezan Mystic, 2x Sludge Belcher and 1x Flamestrike since 90% of the time i was facing mage and hunter.:)

 Grats! Double kezan is super aggressive IMO, since just 1 is enough to swing that matchup, and it's much worse than a shredder or water elemental against all the other meta decks. But hey, whatever works!

I think I may have hit my skill level... Keep bouncing between rank 5 and 6 for the past week or so. Are there any kind of tutoring sites? I'm struggling with what I'm doing wrong!

I did two things that really helped me improve my game (hit legend for first time) this season - I started watching some of the top streamers on twitch (learned the most probably from Trump, who explains all of his moves pretty well), and I requested friends with people I played who were good after I hit rank 5. I started spectating them and having them spectate me to discuss plays and identify mistakes we were making to fix in the future. 

If you're willing to pay a bit, there is an entire subreddit for Hearthstone coaching, usually to the tune of $20 an hour or so, from legend players.

wahoo! Finally hit legend for first time ever tonight on NA server. Started at legend position 750 - not sure if that's good or not haha.

I used my own variants on tempo Mage for ranks 5 to 1, but I kept getting bounced between rank 1 and rank 2 with that deck in the last 4-5 days. I switched to the handlock build that Trump was streaming tonight, went 8-2 to hit legend, finishing on a 5 win streak including wins vs. two top 150 legends. I was lucky enough to have another player spectate all my matches tonight to discuss every play - so I made all the right plays which helped a lot, as I probably would have missed one or two of them on my own. I saw some weird match ups... An aggro hobgoblin  and Jeeves warrior and an aggro paladin with blessings of might, Leroy, etc. I think people get more creative as season goes on maybe

Good luck to everyone else pushing for it! I may not try again in the future given how much time I had to put into this run, and it got fairly stressful for me too.

 

Can you share the decklist please? 

The tempo mage I used was close to this: http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/250821-janos-season-14-rank-5-legend-best-tempo-mage. I just made a few meta adjustments throughout, like teching in a kezan, a Harrison, and I liked using Toshley a lot but it was too slow at times.

The handlock build I copied directly from what Trump has been running on his stream, but teched against weapons a bit, and Acidic Ooze was definitely my MVP in a few matches. Otherwise fairly standard Handlock. 2 coils, 1 darkbomb, 1 ooze, 2 watchers, 2 owls, 2 sunfury, 1 BGH, 2 hellfire, 1 shadowflame, 1 argus, 2 twilight drakes, 2 healbots, 2 belchers, 1 siphon, Emperor, Sylvanas, Dr Balanced, Jaraxxus, 2 mountain giants, 2 molten giants.
