I got Blood queen Lanathel today and i think this is the worst card i could've got. Is there really any deck that works well with it? Should i disenchant it? Or should i wait till next expansion?
Wait until the next expansion. I personally think there are worse legendaries but then again that's just me.
She would typically see play in discard zoo warlock and quest warlock as well as other iterations that involve the discard mechanic. It has been confirmed by the developer that they will give more support to the discard mechanic which if we learned anything from mean streets of gadgetzan and dragon priest means they will print some absurdly broken shit that forces the archetype.
Keep her, don't disenchant might be useful post the new expansion and Gz on the legendary pull! :)

Okay, tnx for the information about supporting discard mechanism. I was really sad getting her as discard doesn't see any play. But since it will get more support, keeping her would be far better.
I have her too and sadly haven’t found a good use yet aside from making Corpsetaker value in meme decks. That said, after about 3 discards her value is decent

Yes , that's true. As a card she is good, but it's just that discard mechanism is fully RNG dependable and not good. You could even discard her. As Gunnolf mentioned in his post, getting support for discard archetype would make her a really strong legendary
Next expansion will have a 2 mana 3/2 minion with text "Whenever you discard a card, shuffle 2 copies into your deck."
Will allow you to run and (eventually) draw back into the big hitters like Lanethel and Bloodreaver Guldan if they are discarded.
Until then it's too risky to rely on strong specific cards in a discard heavy deck.
Yes , you are right.
But about that next expansion, are you taking a guess? Or is that confirmed? If it was guess, i really hope we get some thing like those, would make discard archetype viable

I think it will be a Legendary minion that shuffles all discarded cards back into your deck. Also it will return to hand (no buff like Zavas) if you discard the dude himself.
edit: Obviously we're speculating, but I totally agree that Blizzard will give the discard mechanic "their Drakonid Operative" in this upcoming expansion. It appears like they have been trying all year of the mammoth with Zavas, Lakkari, and Lanathel, so I think one last broken hoorah for discard will be in order.
2. Craft lakkari sacrifice (i opened it golden from a pack during ungoro and got the idea of the deck)
3. Craft the discard beast legendary (dont have it but gonna craft when im in the need)
4. PUT EVERY SINGLE GOD DAMN DISCARD CARD IN YOUR DECK. Yes, EVERYTHING. Only cards you dont out are the deathrattle dinos and fists of jaraxxus. Remember the silverware golems, dark peddlers, imp gang bosses and voidwalkers. Voidwalker is there cause it has taunt so helps againts aggro.
5. Trust me its hell a lot fun when you complete the quest turn 5
It works trust me. Got to rank 9 with it lol could prob use some board clears and removal but I aint got time fo dat
I've played around with her a bit since I opened her and Lakkari Sacrifice. More often than not I'll end up discarding Blood-Queen Lana'thel before I have a chance to play her.
That being said, as others have mentioned there's a fairly high chance that we will see more support for the discard mechanic in the next expansion, so personally I wouldn't recommend disenchanting her just yet.
I love Blood-Queen Lana'thel. I didn't experiment with discard mechanics until I packed both her and Clutchmother Zavas, but when I did it ended up working much better than I expected, considering you don't see discard warlock on ladder. The only thing to keep in mind is to not let bad discards tilt you; I've probably discarded her more often than I've played her. But, sometimes she comes down and swings the game around in your favor, especially in aggro matchups where you need big heals fast. I've played a couple variations, but I believe you can find one that some pro players used that has Prince Keleseth.
Also, as others have said, discard mechanics will be getting more support, so definitely don't disenchant her yet. Good luck, and if you experiment with her, have fun!

I really love your idea but unfortunately i can't craft those since i'm a f2p player. And crafting cards for fun would make me unable to craft necessary meta deck.

Yes , i am taking the advice. We will probably will see some support for discard mechanism. So i am keeping her for now.

That's true but it is super rng dependable and not that good. If my key card gets discarded most of the times that would be sad.
It will probably be viable in the winter expansion
Well, the Hearthstone Team said they want to keep adding more support cards to the Warlock discard mechanic. If they continue the trend of adding 1 Discardlock support card an expansion, eventually Discard lock might become a decent deck in Wild...I say only in Wild since most of the good discard cards will be gone in the next rotation.
If they continue the trending of adding 1 card, it will never be viable in standard and that's the sad part. Hopefully this time they will add a bunch of good cards
Now that legendaries can only be opened once so long as you own a copy of the card, you should never disenchant legendaries until you get duplicates of them (after you already have all the legendaries in an expansion). Think about it: if you disenchant Lanathel right now, you're only getting 400 dust in exchange for creating the chance to simply open her again in a pack as opposed to a legendary you might actually want. In the long run, it will be best for you to keep legendaries you don't have a use for.
Not to mention, I wouldn't be surprised if the discard mechanic gets further support in the next expansion, even though I think most players hate the mechanic.
I think the one big upsides of Lana'thel and one that a lot of people tend to forget is that her ability is not a battlecry. This means that you can use Cruel Dinomancer to resurrect her if you discard her and still get the +attack. Currently discard only works in aggro but if we get enough support and a slower discard deck becomes viable, Lana'thel will be excellent in it.

That is actually a interesting thought. I sure will hate myself if i get it again after dustimg. Tnx.

On the third day before Witchwood, Blizzard gave to me,
three Handlock decks,
two Molten Giants
and a winstreak to Legend Rank #3
