Welcome to the new Legendary Tier Crafting Guide!
SEE POST BELOW FOR WILD-ONLY SETS AND CHECK OUT THIS THREAD FOR EPIC CARDS.
YOU CAN ALSO JOIN OUR TIER LIST DISCUSSION IN THIS DISCORD CHANNEL

This thread is to be a home for legendary crafting advice. If you are not sure which legendary you should craft next, this is the place to ask! We only recommend disenchanting golden versions of legenary cards until you know you will not buy more packs from the corresponding set. Keeping even the worst legendaries will increase your chance of getting a good one next time due to the no-duplicate rule. We will try our best to stay on top of the meta-game with updates, and hope this thread can be a valuable resource for new and veteran players alike to make better decisions with your dust!

Disclaimer: A tier list like this can never please everyone; the meta game is dynamic. If you think a card is in the wrong tier, please explain and provide links to deck lists or other data to support your claim.

Please note that some of the cards may not yet be craftable, and are received through adventures or rewards.

Quote from Phoenixfeather >>

Mayor Noggenfogger and Nozdormu are actually quite good as tech cards against Exodia Mage and Late-Game Priest Decks! and anti-Lifecoachness.

Also, Prince Malchezaar is probably one of the most powerful cards out there for newer players, as in rank 25, whomever gets their The Lich King or "OP" Legendary out first wins.

Disclaimer: A tierlist like this can never please everyone, and the meta game is dynamic. If you think a card is in the wrong tier, please explain why, and provide links to successful deck lists, win- or playrates to support your claim. This thread should mainly be about crafting advice.

Quote from Kovachut >>

I would like to express my opinion about this thread:

1) First off, bravo, you and everyone else participating here have made a wonderful job at structuring, giving a nice /clean/ and accurate info, making the list visually good and lastly including a small game for us enthusiasts - the rhymes. 

- This is a very friendly legendary crafting guide for newcomers.

2) That said, I would like to share some criticism regarding some ordering:

 - White Eyes - with my whole respect to control shaman decks (and N'Zoth in this case) I don't think this legendary deserves such a high place in this list .... for now. It's not about the ability, nor the synergy, but how (un)popular slow shaman decks are in standard atm. Please feel free to make a counter argument (like in the other points too) by showing me the right statistics you have taken into consideration and I have not. But in this link here you can see that White Eyes stays lower than Kalimos regarding popularity in standard (2.0% vs 5.1% in all decks). This doesn't mean, that Kalimos should replace White eyes in your current tier list, but I think that white eyes should fall back to tier 3. You can also make it clear, that slow shaman decks are stronger in wild and thus you put this legendary so high, as the statistics here show (6.0%), but the win-rate is still lower than the Primal lord's.

- Lyra the Sunshard - I personally would make a tier 1.1 section or just put her in the tier 1 spot. While I won't argue with the current meta and the popularity of Highlander priest, as well as the legendaries and their current win-rate, which didn't saw that much play before KoFT (Raza, Velen, even Kazakus), I still think that Lyra is a much safer craft than some of them a) she won't rotate out of standard that soon b) she is more flexible. I can't support my words with any statistics from previous metas, but I think that reminding us how Lyra was in almost every single priest deck back in Un'goro, while the Kazakus package was considered a weak inclusion, Velen didn't pop up at all (only is some meme combo decks, which I wasn't a witness of), it's saying a lot. A small statistic and for wild too.

- Medivh, the Guardian - while I won't argue with his ordering in the tier list, I think it's worth noting, that he was widely used in control priests and control warlock too.

- Arfus - lastly, I would put him in the trash list. Dunno where to look for the right statistics, but I'm just calling it - slow, weak, unpredictable and absolutely devastating in this meta (Potion of Madness and the popularity of priest).

Quote from S_J_S >>

Thanks for the guide. 

I was wondering with varian why you said it is used in tempo warrior when I can't find a list which uses her.

If you have one please tell me as I have been waiting to make her work for ages!
