Griftah isn't awful, and in very, very rare situations has won me games, especially by dumping an unplayable card in my opponents hand against a Mecha'thun deck, which i've managed twice with Molten Giant and Snowfury Giant.
Still... crafting it? Did you have something in mind for it?
I'm looking to collect every golden legendary from Rumble but in order to do so I need a normal copy of each legendary. I was missing only 6 and this was one of them. Now, I absolutely love the feeling of excitement when opening a pack and seeing that legendary card glow and I know the disappointment when the card turns out to be trash so I crafted this guy to spare myself that feeling :P
The missing 5 are also pretty bad but not at this level so the choice was clear.
Griftah won me a couple games in an arena run by providing me with cool stuff that's useless to other classes like Reckless Flurry, also I really like his play sound. If I had spare dust to waste he'd be my next choice, fits into casino mage in wild too.
If you are a completionist, 1600 dust for griftah are just the same as 1600 for lich king or any other T1 legendary. It will come the day where I'll actually have to craft again Rend BlackHand (dusted thinking I would have never go for full collection)
There's a fun Griftah + Astromancer Mage deck that I found on this site. Look it up. Not a great deck, but fun (if you're in to playing fun meme decks and don't always care about laddering).
I'm currently tempted to craft Mimiron's Head for a Wild mech deck I'm playing. I'm sure I'll regret it, but I just want to try it out... I wish we could "test craft" something for like 1-2 days just to see if it would actually work. Blizzard, anyone listening...? ^_^
Do it. It will not have a high winrate (Mimiron's Head is an instant target for hard removal) but when he triggers, that's great! And have the greatest animation ever. Ever.
Have any of you actually used Griftah? The card is flat out good if you use it correctly. I'm not being silly, it's actually a very decent legendary and especially if you enjoy casino-type decks.
Ive been playing it in a midrangey priest with cho, mukla and spirits of the dead etc, if their hand is full Griftah is great, if their hand is 9 it's still strong especially if they're a combo deck. What you burned your Mecha'Thun? Don't worry you got an elven archer.
I opened Griftah in my second batch of Rastakhans Card Packs. At first I was disappointed, but then I had a quick look through my collection and realised that I only needed Gral, the Shark, Halazzi, the Lynx, Hir'eek, the Bat and Wardruid Loti for a complete Rastakhans Collection.
To celebrate I've started putting Griftah in all my decks. I love it when I play him and my opponent mouses over the card for a few seconds.
If I hadn't opened it I might have crafted it eventually, I play it now all the time. This game gets too serious sometimes and it's great just to throw some good old RNG in the mix every now and then. That's why things like Deck of Wonders have to continue to be printed. I hope there is a new Yogg-Saron, Hope's End printed this year!
I'm a monster and I shouldn't be allowed to have dust anymore.
I was once like you! Then i realised there is only one Truth. A fully golden classic set. All of the dust spent there will protect you from such decisions!

That's Incredible!

I got Duskfallen aviana 4 times in row from WW packs thats the only reason i kept her so she wont pops again .
It was a dumb choice to disenchant her the first 3 times I think.
Play it in a priest deck with Mind Vision and profit.
If only Griftah were a bit more specific...

If you thought you knew what you think I know, then you'd know I knew you knew I know.
