Hi all,

For some time i have been thinking about which legendary to craft. I already read the section about which legendaries are the best to craft, but that one doesn't include a 'fun factor'. I have played the game since gvg and already have quite a collection, but now i cannot decide which legendary i should craft for more fun games in wild, i am currently stuck between 7-8 legendaries, namely: 
Lyra the Sunshard
Hagatha the Witch
Mal'Ganis
Bloodmage Thalnos
Zola the Gorgon
Kazakus
The Lich King
or maybe Shadowreaper Anduin
any suggestion or experiences about these cards are very welcome. (I am certainly not playing competitive, just want really fun decks) and ofcourse you can ask me anything.

I am currently playing the following decks:
Standard:
spitefull druid
uneven palladin (just for quests, hate the fast games)
Wild:
spell heavy mage (Yogg-Saron, Hope's End for rpg heavy play)
taunt warrior -> one with and without Baku the Mooneater
Dollmaster Big Rogue

And three renodecks i am trying:
quest priest
shudderwock shaman
warlock renolock

I stand open for suggestions,
thanks

You should craft aviana and no, not the one you'd want.

Hagatha or Lich much valued ... 

or save dust for next expansion coming soon I think ...

well i would compare saraad with hagatha and lyra in the way they all produce spells. saraad can give you all class spells but only if you use your hero power, hagatha can be used througout the whole game and if lyra is played late game you can quickly cast some cheap priest spells. I tried playing a deck with a card like executus but the condition that i had all cards that i needed was not reached that many times because my opponents already rushed me down. Anduin and bloodmage are indeed not fun so i can scrap them off off the list, but lich king and zola are playable in many of the decks i play at the moment.

i guess i cannot really ask it at the forums because everyone experiences the fun otherwise so ill have to make a decision myself.

It depends on if you play Wild or Standard the most. If it's the latter, The Lich King is, without a single doubt, the safest craft and can get you fun cards. If it's purely 100% about the fun factor, craft Lyra or Hagatha. These cards have the biggest RNG-factor, which in turn could provide some pretty crazy turns.

For Wild, go for Kazakus if it's fun you want, because he's amazing with Yogg. 

Mal'Ganis, DK Anduin, Thalnos and Zola provide little fun to me, but they are very strong cards.

 I dont see how Kazakus is so amazing with Yogg, he just provides another random spell for him? Zola would mainly be used to play cards like kazakus, reno jackson, shudderwock, amara or other big minions again.

from someone who plays wild for fun and not competitive then kazakus is the most fun and versatile on that list, can be used in 3 classes... with brann or any bounce it can generate mad value.  The value is fun and strategic in picking which cost and what effects.

Craft Hagatha and use it in your Shudderwock Shaman deck. As others said it's a fun card that gives you good and bad spells. You can also use it in Even Shaman. 

Bloodmage Thalnos is such a solid card. Finds it place in many decks. Otherwise Lich King i'd say

Then you need mayor noggenfogger and meckgineer thermaplug

Kazakus must fun of the ones you listed. 

I personally love Lyra the Sunshard and if you just want to have some fun it may be worth it :P
I mostly played her pre-Witchwood (standard) in combination with Dragon Soul, mostly to have another card which works with the cheap spells you want to play in such a deck. However, I don't know if you want to spend an additional 1600 dust on another card that's not really good..

In wild, you can also play Lyra the Sunshard together with Resurrect for more fun (the one out of maybe 10 times you can pull it off and it resurrects Lyra the Sunshard ;).

I also saw that you already own 2xShadow Visions, they help a lot to find answers / specific cards and are cheap spells as well.

As someone who primarily plays and deckbuilds for wild I'll rate the Legendaries you've listed while factoring in fun, competitive use and versatility. From there I encourage you to make your own decision and when doing so account for the fact that a fun non-versatile card might stop being enjoyable down the line:

1) Kazakus: Fun and mandatory inclusion in all kabal reno decks. No getting around him if you want your deck to actually be competitive
2) Lyra the Sunshard: The archmage antonidas of priest. Terrifying card for your opponent but a great value engine for reno, miracle and inner fire priest.
3) Mal'Ganis: Best meme line in the game and mandatory for demon centric warlock decks. 
4) Zola the Gorgon: Has synergy with a stupendous amount of decks. Fun factor depends on what you copy but other than that super solid.
5) Shadowreaper Anduin: Essentially gives priests the one thing they are missing, being burn. Fun for you but not your opponent.

6) The rest in no particular order: Decent and versatile cards but their mechanics are not that interesting or gamebreaking. Bloodmage Thalnos, The Lich King, Hagatha the Witch.

Hope this helps. If you need any more assistance just throw me a message :)

You haven't crafted Bloodmage Thalnos yet? This was literally the first legendary I crafted - extremely versatile card which will be in standard forever (unless it gets Hall of Famed).

Thalnos is a classic set neutral legendary that has seen play in every meta ever.  Better value than any other card you named.

I run thalnos currently in wild exodia warlock.
