Just trying to get some ideas! I just finished opening my 50 pre order packs via the pre-release event. Got 6 legendaries. Halazzi, the Lynx, Hex Lord Malacrass, Bwonsamdi, the Dead, Princess Talanji, High Priestess Jeklik, and Griftah (Sigh). I know I opened way above the average for legendaries, so I can't complain. But I really only got one I wanted, Jeklik of course. I could see the Hex Lord Malacrass, Bwonsamdi, and Talanji possibly being playable though in some form of deck.
Which cards do you guys think may (possibly) be safe crafts? I know there is a lot of hype surrounding Da Undatakah, but I just don't seem him being good personally.
Any cards you are going to craft just because you want to try them, not worried if they are safe crafts or not?
I think Oondasta is going to end up being pretty great, but for how long, I don't know. When a lot of the big hunter cards rotate out in April, I don't think Oondasta will see as much play, but I could be very wrong!
I hope and pray to god I don't get Gonk for my free loa card... Or Hireek, but based on the packs I opened I probably will haha, legendary quantity is high, quality has been low though for me.
Personally, he looks like one of the safe crafts to me. I just don't see how he would flop, there is no downside, only upside to him. Especially if you draw him early on.
DON'T craft anything legendary on day 1 because you never know where expectations are going to fall short or be horribly wrong. That said, here are my top cards in each class that I THINK will be useful and you may want to ensure access to (most won't be crafted):
As a wild player I’m looking forward to opening Da Undatakah (please Blizzard be kind to me) or crafting him. Many good combo’s with him and am looking forward to trying them.
Odd Mage,pirate rogue, tempo dragon priest(featured in sig),tempo rush dragon warrior, discolock(although I think that unless I open the troll legendary I won't do that),Pirate rogue(Will need Cannon Barrage though).
anyway I am not gonna craft any epics till I open about 40 packs, I have only 2500 gold on expansion release and no preorder..
It's really depends on which cards I get.. I will need to play arena to actually get cards this expansion without having 0 dust (I am hoarding dust)
Really hoping for any of the Shaman or Paladin Legendaries in my pre-order openings. Won't craft any of the Paladin ones as I'm really only playing Even Dragon Paladin and both of his legendaries are Odd (will still play them if I get them eventually, but not gonna craft them). Both the Shammy leggo's look really cool as I really enjoy playing Evolve Shaman and both of them look like they can support that architype nicely.
I have 11810 gold and I do not know if to spend it all on this expansion by the pity timer of previous expansions that I need few packs until I have it written down. But I will not create a letter until after a month for the goal.
After opening my packs, I'm spamming arena hard for 3 weeks then crafting everything that I haven't opened. This entire set looks like it will be Wild-viable forever, and all the legendaries are so cool. I dunno why everyone hates on Griftah, it's a really original little mechanic.

I wasn't planning on going for a run today. But those cops came out of nowhere.
I think there are very few safe crafts right now. I think there are a lot of cards that may or may not be worth crafting but
It depends what i unpack of course but i'm looking at crafting Zul'jin. It seems like the only true guaranteed safe craft because there is at least one competitive deck that will absolutely play it. I like both shaman legendaries and Loti for druid, but i'm hesitant to craft them because even if they're good cards i'm not sure if there are competitive decks to put them in.
Oondasta and Mojomaster Zihi feel like they would be safe crafts since they're neutral and you can already see decks that could make a lot of sense for. Oondasta could go into deathrattle hunter and maybe a few other/newer decks. Mojomaster Zihi seems like a nice fit for evenlock or something to just crush druids and combo decks.
But on topic: although I'm confident that some Legendaries will definitely be worth it in the long run, such as Mojomaster Zihi, I won't craft any Legendaries on day 1. I'll play for a week or two with what I'll get from my first packs and then see how the meta will evolve before crafting anything (F2P casual player, so only have enough dust to craft 1-2 Legendaries).

I also opened Halazzi, the Lyx, along with Gral, the Shark, Zul'jin, and Wardruid Loti. Since it looks like I'm going to be playing Hunter, I want to try Oondasta in Deathrattle Hunter and Gonk, the Raptor for a memey Odd Druid.
Unpopular opinion: Rogue is OP
I will 100% craft High Priest Thekal, I don't care if he's going to flop or not.

What do you think of Halazzi?
Personally, he looks like one of the safe crafts to me. I just don't see how he would flop, there is no downside, only upside to him. Especially if you draw him early on.
I don't care if the card turns out to be hot garbage. I am crafting a golden Jan'alai the Dragonhawk.
DON'T craft anything legendary on day 1 because you never know where expectations are going to fall short or be horribly wrong. That said, here are my top cards in each class that I THINK will be useful and you may want to ensure access to (most won't be crafted):
Druid: Nothing
Hunter: Springpaw, Revenge of the Wild, Master's Call, Zul'jin
Mage: Arcanosaur, Pyromaniac, Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk
Paladin: Flash of Light, Spirit of the Tiger, Zandalari Templar, High Priest Thekal (if you want to try healing or play odd), Shirvallah, the Tiger (if you play even and want a card to go with Equality, Consecration, Blessing of Kings, Spikeridged Steed, and Corpsetaker)
Priest: Seance, Mass Hysteria, Spirit of the Dead, Grave Horror
Rogue: Nothing
Shaman: Spirit of the Frog, Bog Slasher, Zentimo, Krag'wa, the Frog
Warlock: Reckless Diretroll, Shriek, Soul Warden, High Priestess Jeklik (only if you play discard or zoo--wait on this one)
Warrior: Dragon Roar, Spirit of the Rhino, Emberscale Drake, Smolderthorn Lancer
Neutral: Da Undatakah, Crowd Roaster, Firetree Witchdoctor, Dragonmaw Scorcher, Scarab Egg
As a wild player I’m looking forward to opening Da Undatakah (please Blizzard be kind to me) or crafting him. Many good combo’s with him and am looking forward to trying them.
Gral, the Shark, Zul'jin and Halazzi, the Lynx flop or not.
I am crafting everything for paladin cause i can't w8 to try last time Galvadons power....then I'll just see what becomes the strongest deck
Odd Mage,pirate rogue, tempo dragon priest(featured in sig),tempo rush dragon warrior, discolock(although I think that unless I open the troll legendary I won't do that),Pirate rogue(Will need Cannon Barrage though).
anyway I am not gonna craft any epics till I open about 40 packs, I have only 2500 gold on expansion release and no preorder..

Gral the Shark
Da Undatakah

I think Likkim, Spirit of the Frog and Krag'wa, the Frog look like a nice complement to the Wild Totem Aggro Shaman Archetype:
I think there are very few safe crafts right now. I think there are a lot of cards that may or may not be worth crafting but

Gral, the Shark, doo doo doo doo doo,
But on topic: although I'm confident that some Legendaries will definitely be worth it in the long run, such as Mojomaster Zihi, I won't craft any Legendaries on day 1. I'll play for a week or two with what I'll get from my first packs and then see how the meta will evolve before crafting anything (F2P casual player, so only have enough dust to craft 1-2 Legendaries).
Zul'Jin the hunter hero card for sure.
Then I also wanna try Shirvallah OTK Heal Paladin but I don't think it's a safe craft.
I'm crafting Hakkar, the Soulflayer because that and Prince Liam is so juicy I just cannot resist
Also it's lore is pretty fascinating...
