I'm wanting to craft a legendary or two. I have Alex, Bloodmage Thalnos, LOE expansion, and the first wing of Blackrock.
I have played some freeze mage so I was considering Archmage but I recently came across a Patron deck made by TheTardHunter on here that uses Rag and Hellscream. I'd need to craft both of those card's so I would be spending a lot of dust.
I know Sylvanas is a tier 1 legendary card right now but I don't see me using her in any decks honestly.
I'm pretty confused on what I want to do so i was wondering if you guys have any idea's of what card would be best for me.
If you want to go a Patron route, Grommash Hellscream is first priority. He has a couple of activators with Blood To Ichor and Inner Rage, which allows you to drop Grom for a 10-12 damage burst that wins games. He also has high health, which still makes him hard for some decks to remove if you have to play him out as tempo.
Ragnaros the Firelord is an interesting option given that Patron is mostly a tempo deck now. That said he is not necessary for the deck and might make the 8-slot a little too crowded to be truly efficient for this type of deck. Good legendary to have, but I wouldn't prioritize it.
Sylvanas Windrunner is a top tier must craft eventually. But it is difficult to imagine just how useful she is, and in my experience it can take a while to learn to fully appreciate her once you do have her. It took me a couple quite a lot of games to begin feeling comfortable with her. Now she's one of the first 6-drops I look at to see if I can fit her into my deckbuilding. Eventually you'll benefit from having her.
If you like playing warrior, then Grommash should be what you craft. Ragnaros is also pretty good in a lot of decks, so if you want to have a few different decks, then I'd craft him. Or if you want a good control legendary, then go for Ysera.
You also mentioned Archmage, so if you want to concentrate on Mage, then go with that.
Between the two, I'd probably go for Patron warrior, as games don't last forever like they do with freeze mage. It's hard to grind up the ladder when each game takes 15-20 minutes. And more wins = more gold = more packs = more dust / cards. That's just from the perspective of a F2p player though.
Ultimately, if you aren't sure, then just wait a bit and view streams with the cards you want to see if you like the playstyle.

Quit complaining and just have fun with this game!
Played 10 games trying out TheTardHunter's list. It's a pretty typical Patron Warrior which can have or leave the Ragnaros. So far Rag has had no impact in any of my games, though it is a small sample size. At no point have I thought "Rag would be really essential on this board" or "I hope I topdeck Rag." A couple of times I've been disappointed to draw him instead of something else.
If you want to try teching out that one card, it's a normal Patron list. I'd say Grom is worth a craft if you want to commit to learning Warrior. Antonidas is good for your Mage decks. Maybe pick one of the two and save the rest of your dust for when the meta settles in another week or so and it's clearer what kind of deck you could craft and be successful with.
