I feel like the legendaries are underwhelming. which, as some people have pointed out, is not a bad thing (cheaper to play and be competitive is always nice)
Are there any must-craft legendaries, which to me means you need them to have a top deck in any particular class?
For KoFT, Thralls deathlord is deffinition of snowballing (op) so that will most likely be auto-include in all evolve decks (Hell... even in elemental or other decks of shaman)
Despite having a god-awful art, Frost Lich Jaina is deffinetly amongs the strongest.

Don't listen to this guy. Thrall is bad. Jaina is slow. The only legend of the set that shows any promise so far is Lilian Voss. That thing is very strong stat wise and rogue abuses it really well. I'd be surprised if it doesn't make ladder tier.

EDIT: I meant in KotFT, specifically!
way way too early to ask. If you like experimenting craft what you want. You just want what is good, gonna have to wait until a meta gets established
While a number of the legendaries look bad, the fact is there are a lot of cards whose effects will be very powerful or crap, so what and will and won't be good I feel is in question. If you want my advice, don't take anyone's advice on what is or isn't good right now. Again though if you want to experiment then craft what you like and have at.
Unlike many other people, I think Bolvar, Fireblood is going to be good. Perhaps not "must craft" good, but I wouldn't be disappointed to find him in a pack. However, I play more Wild than Standard and being able to put Shielded Minibot and Annoy-o-Tron in your deck makes Bolvar a lot better, so I'm judging him in a different context than most.
I think the death knights have potential, but I'd like to see them in action before considering crafting them.
Do yourself a favor and wait AT LEAST 2 weeks after release before you go splurge-craft any Legendaries. Right now it is impossible to tell how good ANY of them will be, until they see play in the meta. Not to mention we haven't seen all the Legendaries from KoFT yet. The meta typically starts to settle 2-3 weeks after release and the strongest decks at the time will start to surface.
Just remember that everyone though Dr Boom was just ok, Hemet Jungle Hunter was going to be the combo deck card of the ages, Sharazin and Caverns Below both terrible, Umbra the must-craft Legend of the set, Clutchmother+Quest was going to push Discolock over the edge, and so on. 2-3 weeks after each of their respective releases, we all realized how wrong the community can be, and that's just some Legendary minions.
My advice is to open your packs and get what you get, then once the meta settles some you can start to DE/craft what you now know you want. I do this for every expansion, saves me a lot of heartache.

Unless you have an absolute favourite class that you enjoy playing no matter what (Golden Frost Lich Jaina for me), then accrue as many cards as you can and wait for new decks to arise before you consider crafting any legendaries. Everyone predicted Troggzor the Earthinator would break the game but it barely saw play, so don't fall for "x card is broken" claims either. There might just be a better card that some dismiss like they did with Dr. Boom, which I'm predicting to be Bolvar, Fireblood, not at Boom levels, but better than one might think.

You are not the only one...even without increased attack he's essentially a 3/7 for 5. In combination with some of the other new cards and spikeridge steed I actually think this version of Bolvar is going to work - though I can also understand why many see him as bad at first glance. I don't think he'll be just good in wild, but also standard.

Lol this guy almost got me with his joke until i saw Lilian Voss nice one...
Only a fool would think Mage can't play 8+ mana card and still make comebacks or believing thrall is bad. If you wanna be a smartass be my guest but it will be satisfying when you start making nerf threads because of thrall :)
If we go a bit deeper with class cards, then Deathseer and possibly Frost Lich look powerful in token and elemental builds, but they may not be the top builds for their classes.
Then again, no real must craft until the meta takes some definite shape: you all remember how it went with Quests, where even Quest Rogue got pushed to T3 soon enough while seemingly godly during the first days.

Depends on what hero you play really :p
But If you want the overwhelming legendaries Paladin has them, tirion, lightlord, tarim are all overpowered cards
Patches, Aya, Lyra if you want to play priest and Alex for mage.
Oops, I meant coming out in KotFT specifically!
All the Prince cards! DUH!
G=Good B=Bad Do you see the pattern? Every second expansion is always trash.
G: Goblins V Gnomes , Old Gods, unguro
B: TGT, gadgetzan, Knights (Unreleased so MAYBE)
wait until it releases so you can see what is the most prevalent and whats fits your playstyle the best. We also haven't seen all the legendaries

Top neutral legendaries you'll want are patches and thalnos but overall it depends on the deck.
yeah I was thinking Thrall might be one...I think Valeera might have potential to be game changing as well
Keep your eye on hero cards. No other legendary cards have really stood out so far, but you never know.

No, and that is a good thing.
Free to try and find a game, dealing cards for sorrow, cards for pain.
So far I haven't seen a single legendary that has me thinking "can't wait to craft that." Ultimate Infestation has me foaming at the mouth though.
Must craft, generically, none so far.
