Has Fandral ever seen play outside of Jade decks? Druid is my favourite class and I eventually plan on owning all Druid cards, but I don't find Jade decks interesting to play and if he is useless outside of them I might put off creating him in favour of Aviana or Kun.

He is often played in those those Malygos OTK decks too, but the guide focuses on standard. It will be updated when Fandral Staghelm moves to wild, which is very soon, so please consider your moves well!

I don't think he's overly concerned with rotation, as he is considering crafting Aviana. I think Kun the Forgotten King might be the one to craft first, he's a fine tempo play in a fair number of druid decks, especially since the advent of Ultimate Infestation. Furthermore, even though he may not be as powerful as Fandral Staghelm, he allows the flexibility of choosing your next craft. With Kun you can either lean into Aviana for otk shenanigans, or you can get Fandral for a more tempo oriented playstyle.
I would however advise against crafting until the next expansion, unless you feel you have dust to spare.
I feel like Zola the Gorgon is a super safe craft for anyone playing a control deck, and everyone could benefit from running her in any of their decks. But I still did not craft her waiting for the new expansion, do you think it's safe to do it now as much as after the release?
Got my first golden legendary... its Cenarius! Should i disenchant him or is it any good in some Druid deck? I wanted to craft Alex for it.. not sure if its worth..
There is a small chance that he sees play in a Baku Druid deck (although, I am extremely doubtful as I can't see anyone ever wanting two understatted 9 drops in a deck), but Cenarius hasn't really ever seen play as far I am aware. He was my first legendary and I have tried dozens of times to fit him into my decks but I find he rarely ever makes an impact. He should be a safe disenchant.
Alex is seeing little to no play right now, so you would have to be fairly confident that she will see play post-rotation for a craft to be worth it. I have a golden copy and have been trying to fit her into a standard control priest deck (along with Nozdormu, ty floor cap) and I find she is usually a dead card in my hand. By the time I am in a position to drop her she is usually more of a win-more card, and quite often playing her would actually hurt my chances of winning. Sometimes it makes for an alright heal, but Greater Healing Potion would probably be a better option for that. Unless you are planning on playing a combo deck or have a specific deck in mind already I would hold off on crafting her until we see the rest of the cards in the expansion

I would say it depends on what you already have in your collection. Cenarius is a decently strong and versatile card, but he just doesn’t really fit into any of the modern Druid archetypes. If you have other legendaries or cards for decks that you want to play, and aren’t strapped for dust, I’d say hold on to Cenarius, because it might eventually see some play. Also, if you care at all about golden cards, since golden legendaries are so rare that might be another reason to keep him.
On another note, Alexstrasza is currently seeing play in Kibler’s N’zoth Kazakus Mage, which is surprisingly strong. If you have the cards for it, and enjoy the singleton or control archetype, I’d suggest giving it a shot. I just hit rank 3 with it earlier this evening, and it’s an absolute blast to play (I just swapped out Elise for Skulking Geist to deal with several otherwise unfavorable matchups).
So, I have enough dust for a legendary prior to the Witchwood which I pre-ordered, so I want to craft one last card between those :
-Spiritsinger Umbra The only card I miss for Cubelock along with Tal'daram, and the most useful one I think if more good deathrattle are printed in the future.
-Elise the Trailblazer : She appears in many control lists, and she would be fine in my decks.
-Zola the Gorgon : It seems she has the potential to copy strong minions.
-Sonya Shadowdancer : If Quest Rogue becomes relevant again with the Echo mechanism, she would be insane in it right ?
Val'anyr : Is it good enough for Aggro Paladin decks, or can you completely skip it ?
Kalimos, Primal Lord : Elemental Shaman seems fun to me even though it isn't super strong, but I also miss Grumble, so is it worth it ?

Thanks in advance for your answers !
I agree with the Pile of Cheese, but would add that none of those are priority crafts, and the new deck archetypes may support different legendaries, Umbra was a card people recommended dusting before Cubes came along.
I like to play Cubelock with N'zoth, Manari, DK Guldan but I also have Aya, DK Thrall and most of the cards for a good jade/evolve, so I really don't know...
As the year rolls over, I’m looking over my list of cards and seeing what I could dust to make some USEFUL legendaries that I’ve yet to procure, and dust to craft Witchwood ones.
So far, here’s my list …what seems valid to save from being dusted? In order of expendability, with non-rotating cards having an advantage ...
Genzo, the Shark (Didn't work in Buffadin, don't play aggro decks and this never showed up there either)
The Voraxx (GOLD) (A year later, still hasn’t lived to potential)
On the bubble:
a GOLD King Togwaggle (a fun priest deck saved it from the axe)
a GOLD Soggoth the Slitherer (gets action in my version of Big Priest; tempted to trade it for Y’Shaarj, Rage Unbound, but aggro decks forced to run into Soggoth made me change my mind. I use this and Lyra the Sunshard to replace Y’Shaarj and Ysera in Big Priest).
My Current Top 10 Most Wanted Legendaries (Witchwood Cards excluded).I mainly use Priest, Mage, Warlock and control decks, and play both standard and wild. Aside from Ysera (barely), everything currently on the Top 10 and below doesn't feel like a good bet to craft until the new meta appears.
Your list seems good to dust, they'll likely never be good. I don't dust any standard card ever (unless they're nerfed) but when they rotate out I then decide what to keep and what to dust.
Elise is uneven and when the pack comes in your deck the odd effect (since the start of the game) is already triggered so Elise will still be a great card!
I already crafted all HoFed cards and I still have 7000 dust to spend. I do not want to hold the dust for two more months, since I play mostly in Wild, so I am not aware of the rotation. Usually I play Hunter, Paladin and Rogue, sometimes Druid, Mage and Priest, and I try to put N'Zoth, the Corruptor or hero cards in every deck. A few important questions:

Generally speaking, you should craft high value neutral Legendaries first. With that in mind this is how I would prioritize your list:
a)Aya BlackPaw
b)Y'shaarj
c) Ysera
d) Spiritsinger Umbra
e) Deathstalker Rexxar
f) Frost Lich Jaina
g) Zola the Gorgon
h) Uther of the Ebon Blade
i) The Rest
Regarding rares to craft... only craft essential rares. You probably don't need Starfall, Flare or MC Tech. Equality is good to have 2 copies of. The rares you've listed are all classic however, and can be opened late on. If you're keen on wild, consider crafting more essential rares from past sets. Cards like Muster for Battle and Sludge Belcher for instance.

Jade only showed up 2 expansions later.

Can someone explain to me the point of Lynnessa in OTK Paladin?
Also, thanks for this tier-list. Thanks for keeping it alive. Seems accurate.
She requires removal and usually provides card draw since you play 2x Potion of Heroism in the deck too.

Hey, guys. Can you help me out?
Should I craft Spiritsinger Umbra or Grumble, Worldshaker?
I like to play Cubelock with N'zoth, Manari, DK Guldan but I also have Aya, DK Thrall and most of the cards for a good jade/evolve, so I really don't know...
Umbra is probably better but I think you should wait for the next expansion.

Missing the Cut: Sonya Shadowdancer, Ixlid, Fungal Lord, Thrall, Deathseer, Prophet Velen, Rotface, Open the Waygate

Hi everyone!
I already crafted all HoFed cards and I still have 7000 dust to spend. I do not want to hold the dust for two more months, since I play mostly in Wild, so I am not aware of the rotation. Usually I play Hunter, Paladin and Rogue, sometimes Druid, Mage and Priest, and I try to put N'Zoth, the Corruptor or hero cards in every deck. A few important questions:
1. Is it good to craft Classic rares, which are quite useful (Equality, 2x Starfall, Flare, 2x Mind Control Tech)?
2. Which cards or packages is it worth to consider to craft? In which order would you suggest to craft them?
- Deathstalker Rexxar for any slower Hunter builds (Spell/N'Zoth/Giant/Egg)
- Frost Lich Jaina for Reno/Elemental Mage (but I am missing Pyros and Sindragosa - should I consider them all as a big package? )
- Val'anyr + Ragnaros, Lightlord or Uther of the Ebon Blade for Handbuff Paladin and Control Paladin
- Awaken the Makers + maybe Raza the Chained for N'Zoth Reno Priest
- Zola the Gorgon for rather casual decks or more value in control decks
- Spiritsinger Umbra for rather casual decks (Big Rogue, Egg Hunter, Handbuff Paladin)
- Aya Blackpaw for Jade Druid and Jade N'Zoth Rogue
- Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound for Spell Hunter and Big decks
- Ysera for Dragon Priest and Big decks
My collection on my account is updated, if you want to check it. Thank you for help!
