Alexstrasza : I really like playing Mage decks (without quest) and I almost have all the must have cards to build a decent deck, but I don't think she is viable in other decks. N'Zoth, the Corruptor: I was so lucky when I opened all the Rogue standard legendaries (expect the quest, but I don't want to play it in the future), so N'zoth should be a boost for my ranked play, am I right?
So guys, it's a hard dilemma for me, I would really appreciate your help!
I would go with N'Zoth, the Corruptor. Alex is great but she is only used in a few specific decks right now. N'Zoth is viable in pretty much any class, even more so in Wild if you play that format.
N'zoth isn't that great with Rogue at the moment and he is part of the next ones to be rotated out so if you only had plans for him in a Rogue deck and you don't have any plans to play wild I'd say go with Alex. Alexstrasza is a classic card so it should stick around unless they release cards that make it broken. Also Alex can be good in other decks other than mage so it's certainly worth crafting even if you don't use them now.
Since you play mage and rogue mostly id go with alex. Although nzoth can literally have any class build a deck aroubd him and great in wild. Keep in mind i think building a deck around nzoth is funner than just dlapping alex in a burn deck, but if ur a budget player craft alex for sure for her classic longevity and hall of fame dust refund potential in the future
yeah alex is better as a card because longevity, and n'zoth is not great in rogue, not bad, really just mediocre. alex is generally only seen n mage decks, but more important for mage are ice block, primordial glyph, and most likely a single pyroblast. If you are missing those go for those first, and if you don't have blood mage thalnos it is more useful than alex and probably a better craft. I know I went outside of your request but I see a lot of people ignoring options other than legendaries with their dust, but epics are arguably more important. I have fewer epic than legendaries because I dust the bad ones, and epics are more commonly necessary for many decks than legends, as well as being less common to get 2 of the one you want than one of a legendary you want.
If you really only need a little extra stuff and will craft one legend alex is better but I doubt alex is the best craft for anyone, I never regretted my alex craft but I made it back when warrior ran alex as well as freeze mage, both of which I wanted to play.

Just fill your deck with one drops, that is creative deck design, right?
Alexstrasza is my favorite card in the game. She's a lot more versatile than N'Zoth, and with no more Reno in standard, she's one of the best healing cards out there. She can also be super aggressive too. I'd pick her. I do love N'Zoth, but Alex is my pick between those 2.

I totally agree with you! I already have a single pyroblast, primordial glyph ice block and thalnos too. I will craft a second ice block with cabalist's tome. My mage deck would be pretty strong with Alex.
Hello Everyone,
It's another crafting topic, I know, I know...
First of all my favorite classes are Mage, Warlock andRogue.
I currently have 3200 dust and I would like to craft Alexstrasza or N'Zoth, the Corruptor. I don't want both of them, because I am missing some important epic cards like Cabalist's Tome, Twisting Nether, Vilespine Slayer and a 2nd copy of Ice Block.
Alexstrasza : I really like playing Mage decks (without quest) and I almost have all the must have cards to build a decent deck, but I don't think she is viable in other decks.
N'Zoth, the Corruptor: I was so lucky when I opened all the Rogue standard legendaries (expect the quest, but I don't want to play it in the future), so N'zoth should be a boost for my ranked play, am I right?

Anyone please?
do you play wild or not?
if play wild craft n'zoth
if no play wild craft alex
:)
Currently I'm playing only standard, but later maybe I will go wild

Let the Pain Speak to Me....
I have reduced my pack purchasing because of the price increase, so Alex should be the optimal choice as you recommended.
Alexstrasza cuz you can play freeze mage (tier 1 deck actually)
N'zoth isn't playable atm. Only for fun or scrapyard (wild).
And don't forget Alex from standard and N'zoth will be rotated out in 2018.
One day this game will stop existing. I can't wait.
In this current meta I'd probably go with Alex. N'zoth is a great card for wild but isn't doing as well as Alex is in standard meta.
Also if you need a mage deck, I suggest using value mage. There's a good one on the front page of hearthpwn, it'll definitely help.
When I die, I want to go peacefully and in my sleep like my Grandpa. Not yelling and screaming like the passengers in his car.
