Welcome to the new Legendary Tier Crafting Guide! SEE POST BELOW FOR WILD-ONLY SETS!
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.

Wrathion - Playable in dragon decks, decent winrate but low playrate.
- One Night at Karazhan The Curator - Unfortuntely too weak for a 7 drop, even in Wild dragon and Malygos decks.
- Blackrock Mountain Chromaggus - Niche pick for dragon decks.
- Goblins vs Gnomes Gahz'rilla - Played in experimental OTK and recruit decks. Neptulon - Sees little play, but someone is performing well with this card! Toshley - Tech option in tempo mage and razakus spell priest decks. Trade Prince Gallywix - Tech card in slow rogue decks. Troggzor the Earthinator - Probably the most overhyped card in hearthstone history. Vol'jin - Tech option in any priest deck, especially Spiteful Summoner ones.

Wilfred Fizzlebang - Understatted, effect hard to trigger.
Mayor Noggenfogger and Nozdormu are actually quite good as tech cards against Exodia Mage and Late-Game Priest Decks! and anti-Lifecoachness. (Note Sarcasm)
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.
I want a fancy title, but I'm neither as godlike as our lord and savior Fluxflashor, intelligent as ShadowsOfSense, as helpful as Linkblade91, as hardworking as ThisOtherGuyTox, or as inactive as Otovent.
First of all, really pretty list to look at. The Mod hat is working out for you.
Secondly, really good list. However, some adjustment I'd like to make:
Uther of the Ebon Blade should be dropped to Niche. He is completely outclassed by Tirion and Justicar.
The Playable and Niche section should have a disclaimer that their ranking might change in the future if enough support is released from other sets. Or there should be a tier 3.5 for them.
C'Thun should be clarified to be a relatively cheap slow / tempo deck.
Other than that, this is a very helpful and detailed list.

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.
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).

Hi, thanks for your feedback!
-You are right White Eyes will be bumped to 3, I think I used the Wild data for him, where he is better. Fits the rhyme so well though:-(
-Lyra the Sunshard was discussed a lot, but was found too easily replaceable, and has a too low winrate to be tier 1 in the end.
Hey, so I've been playing Hearthstone for a while as a f2p and already have some of the key cards for classes that Im using the most (Rogue, Mage, Priest, Hunter/Warlock). As for now I have 2800(1200 + Onyxia )dust and I've been wondering what cards should I craft to complete some decks (or maybe don't craft them at all and save the dust for a new expansion). So here are my choices:
Tell me your thoughts about those and which ones in your opinion will still remain usefull for classes that I'm playing (keep in mind that Im F2P) Cheers!

Considering your case. I would recommend either Bloodreaver or Leeroy. Cairne is only good in some specific decks, and only when the meta fits it. However Leeroy will always be useful in Aggro decks, and Bloodreaver will probaly only get stronger as more cards enter the pool.
Also Cairne and Leeroy are not really mandatory in Keleseth rogue, whereas Bloodreaver is amazing is just about every single Warlock deck. So that would be my recommendation.

I want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
There's an editing mistake at the bottom tier, putting Tinkmaster Overspark at the wild page. Other than that very good update, I agree with pretty much everything except for a few cards. I'll list a few:
Cairne Bloodhoof 1->2: It's a solid card, sure. But it's not as impactful nor important to top decks as the other staples mentioned in the tier. Ysera 2->3: It's not really a tech, and even though it's not as good as it used to be because of how easy it is to remove nowadays, it's just playable, nothing more. Knuckles 3->4 or even 5: It's just a bad card that doesn't work. King Krush 5->4: Not good by any means, but is a strong finisher and has some synergy with Abominable Bowman, i think it can see some play eventually. Princess Huhuran 4->5: It's a decent card on its own, but will never see play with the cheaper deathrattle triggers released like Terrorscale Stalker and Play Dead which are way less clunky and easier to combo.
Only comment is that Hobart should be dropped to Tier 4 (maybe even Tier 5). I just think Tier 3 is way too high for a card that saw little play over it's lifetime.

Fan Creations ModMayor Noggenfogger and Nozdormu are actually quite good as tech cards against Exodia Mage and Late-Game Priest Decks! and anti-Lifecoachness. (Note Sarcasm)
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.
I want a fancy title, but I'm neither as godlike as our lord and savior Fluxflashor, intelligent as ShadowsOfSense, as helpful as Linkblade91, as hardworking as ThisOtherGuyTox, or as inactive as Otovent.
Also, hi Corra! :)

Card Design ChampionFirst of all, really pretty list to look at. The Mod hat is working out for you.
Secondly, really good list. However, some adjustment I'd like to make:
Other than that, this is a very helpful and detailed list.

ModeratorYeey, I finally know what to put in my meme deck now, lol. Great list very helpful for newbies and veterans.
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).

ModeratorHey, so I've been playing Hearthstone for a while as a f2p and already have some of the key cards for classes that Im using the most (Rogue, Mage, Priest, Hunter/Warlock). As for now I have 2800(1200 + Onyxia )dust and I've been wondering what cards should I craft to complete some decks (or maybe don't craft them at all and save the dust for a new expansion). So here are my choices:
- Cairne Bloodhoof or Leeroy Jenkins to complete Tempo Rogue (already have Patches the Pirate , Edwin VanCleef , Prince Keleseth )
- Leeroy Jenkins to complete JHUS's midrange Hunter
- Bloodreaver Gul'dan to complete Keleseth Zoolock
- Cairne Bloodhoof , Ice Block , Meteor to complete tempo-secret Mage (already have Archmage Antonidas , Medivh, the Guardian )
-Last not so fun option: Don't dust Onyxia , add it to dragon Priest and hope that this deck will become good again :P
Tell me your thoughts about those and which ones in your opinion will still remain usefull for classes that I'm playing (keep in mind that Im F2P)
Cheers!

Fan Creations ModI want a new title, but Flux won't let me have one,
Nice list! Keep up guys!!
There's an editing mistake at the bottom tier, putting Tinkmaster Overspark at the wild page. Other than that very good update, I agree with pretty much everything except for a few cards. I'll list a few:
Cairne Bloodhoof 1->2: It's a solid card, sure. But it's not as impactful nor important to top decks as the other staples mentioned in the tier.
Ysera 2->3: It's not really a tech, and even though it's not as good as it used to be because of how easy it is to remove nowadays, it's just playable, nothing more.
Knuckles 3->4 or even 5: It's just a bad card that doesn't work.
King Krush 5->4: Not good by any means, but is a strong finisher and has some synergy with Abominable Bowman, i think it can see some play eventually.
Princess Huhuran 4->5: It's a decent card on its own, but will never see play with the cheaper deathrattle triggers released like Terrorscale Stalker and Play Dead which are way less clunky and easier to combo.
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!
Amazing job. Thanks for updating this.
Only comment is that Hobart should be dropped to Tier 4 (maybe even Tier 5). I just think Tier 3 is way too high for a card that saw little play over it's lifetime.
