Hi ^^, after little time of releasing the newest hearthstone expansion Knights of the frozen throne and stabilization of the meta, what legendaries from the set are in your opinion must craft.. like the top 10 List and do you think is The Lich King really that strong?
I don't think there's a legendary that's a must - the DK's are all fine imo, you can craft one for the class or classes you like to play anyway...Lich King, while strong, can be replaced with something like Ysera quite easily.
I feel like there are no legendaries that are clearly great like in Un'Goro, where, say, if you had to craft only 3; you could've crafted Tarim, Lyra and Elise pretty much without thinking twice.
Nearly all DK's have the most impact in their respective decks. Hunter is just generally not that good at the moment and Thrall is not very important but other than those DK's are probably the most usefull legendaries of the expansion. (those which aren't that much used at the moment -> warrior, rogue, huner will most likely become much better in other metas/next expansion)
About the main question: no, Lich King is no where near a must-craft card. He is good but replaceable in some decks.

Who can take your trash out? Stomp it down for you? Shake the plastic bag and do the twisty thingy, too?
Being the strongest neutral legendary in standard AND giving you access to unique effects makes The Lich King a must craft for players who want to do more then just play the latest tier 1 deck like Jade Druid or Pirate Warrior.
The Lich King is a fairly safe craft IMO...but it's not a must-craft by any means. Especially since Bonemare exists and works just as well as - if not better than - it in a wide variety of midrange decks.
Most of the legends outside of the Death Knights this time around are frankly pretty underwhelming. Bloodreaver Gul'dan and Malfurion the Pestilent are must-crafts if you play warlock or druid, respectively, and the other DK cards all seem like they're reasonably powerful. TBH it feels like older legends are still a lot more powerful (Finja, the Flying Star, Sunkeeper Tarim, and Fandral Staghelm all come to mind) than what was introduced in KoFT though. Furthermore, druid players would benefit a lot more from investing their dust in the wildly-broken Ultimate Infestation instead of the DK at first IMO.
Just my 2 gold, of course, but in short the Lich King is definitely NOT a mandatory craft!
I think every DK and The Lich King are all decent crafts, I've even found a home for Arfus, Prince Keleseth and Prince Valanar which at first glance thought would be awful. Even seen some weird combos with Prince Taldaram as well. I feel this set has some of the most utilized Legendaries they've ever made in a set.

I don't agree with hunter. I've been playing it in wild in a control deck and it is really powerful ans what makes the difference against other control decks. Plus the battlecry can be quite helpful and unexpected.
I think what FranzLimit is saying is that Hunter as a class is not very strong at the moment. Deathstalker Rexxar is great, but you're not going to draw it in time every game and the other cards that Hunter has available at the moment aren't as powerful as what some of the other classes have. If you're going to play Hunter regardless, then the DK is a must-craft in my opinion, since it gives you a decent late game and building zombeasts is also a lot of fun.
The Priest DK is also very good, but mostly if you also have Raza, Kazakus and Lyra. It's probably still good without Raza, but then it would be just good, not crazy good.
The Warlock DK has some similarities to the Hunter one: a class that is relatively weak at the moment, a big impact if you draw it in time. However, the advantage of Bloodreaver Gul'dan is that if you draw it late, you can immediately play it and get a huge swing from it. The zombeasts have great value over time, but the DK battlecry is not that impactful late game. The Warlock DK does require you to add support cards to your deck, but since Voidwalker, Despicable Dreadlord and Abyssal Enforcer are good cards anyway, you don't sacrifice much in doing so.

Thanks for all opinions :)

You can't stop the signal.
