I could see this being played as your top end in something like Zoo in the same way that Liam and Rexxar were used. It gives you juice/value in control games.
Or maybe in a control warlock, to convert all your useless cards at the end of the game. Or with Hakkar.
I guess we'll see what new legendaries this expansion brings. With some of the weaker legendaries rotating out (such as 7 mana 1/1 Lynessa, or 9 mana 3/3 Dragoncaller Alanna), it might not be bad. Certainly not a meta-defining card, but maybe something to have some fun with.
Okay, so I know what you're thinking - this card is kinda bad. And yeah, it is. I mean, the legendaries are random. However, it's probably the most fun card I've ever seen in the game - just flat out, no conditions, change your deck. I'm sorry, but I LOVE this, and will be memeing it into all my warlock decks no matter what you people say. It's a last resort card. I love it.
Strong finisher possibly, and a great statline. But previously "huge value cards" like this haven't really worked out. Depends on what an average legendary is like after the rotation.
not bad if u consider this in a controlock deck. having aggro control cards not be ideal vs other control or combo decks then u just slam this for a try on a twist. it can be problematic of course. we saw in the video him getting Jalanai. thats actually good right? cause the hero tap does damage

Eh... dont know what you smoking. This is basically a better Elise Starseeker reprint which was very popular among control deck from LOE era, infamous with Sleeper Control Warrrior type of deck. The idea is load your deck with AOE and removal. In Control matchup this card turn all these spell to legendaries minion
The thing is Warlock already have more consistant a control matchup winner in Jaraxuss. Maybe this one as a backup if you afraid of burn decks?
I've expected something more creative for this guy.
Something about stealing or villain gathering.
Its the Golden Monkey effect (plus Golden Kobold also worked similarly). Very flavorful given Rafaam was originally from LoE AND he is working alongside Toggwaggle now.

Definitely good for the decks that can utilize the battlecry. I mean a 7/8 taunt for 7 is something you think about putting in a deck to begin with. You probably don't, but you think about it.

Great stats for the cost, and that battlecry is HUGE value.
Bad, like most of the warlock's legendaries. At least the art is cool. I hope to not find it.

Rafaam is better than Elise Starseeker, because he's faster and offers taunt on top of having a good stated body. As a control warlock player:

Football and games.
Very strong in arena as a finisher!

Kinda' boring effect.

Obey C'Thun, Praise The Darkness, Pet Hakkar, the Soulflayer, Love Yogg-Saron, Hope's End
A full legendary deck for only 1600 dust? cool
Massive value card, control lock isn't leaving, it's just giving up on certainty

Also, golden Rafaam gives you all golden legendaries, right? That's fun.

this.
Liam won me many games like this
Ok ok blizzard, i will return to the game. You convinced me.
This is instant craft but the questions remains!Craft this golden or normal?This might be the 1st card i craft golden.
I don´t really like this card , you can get a lot of bad legendaries ...
it doesn´t look promising to me in standard , it´s a good late game card in arena tho

Would have been better as a neutral IMHO.
