So, I have around 17000 dust saved up for when TGT hit, incase something caught my eye. But as the charm of the new expansion starts to settle, I'm just about ready to start spending it on legendaries I've been missing for a long time now.
Any that I didn't list, I either have or I don't value as high as some of the junk (Gallywix) in that list.
I can only craft 10, and I've separated the 10 I'm most thinking about to be at the top of the list (Tirion < -- > Rhonin)
I wonder if any of those 10 should be replaced by the 5 in the middle of the list (Cenarius < -- > Justicar) As those are the legends I see floating around the meta most. (My thoughts on those 5 in the spoiler, for people to see my POV)
For Druid I typically run a fast-druid with double combo. So I'm not sure if Cenarius is going to be changing my games much.
Al'Akir the Windlord I've always wanted (When Buzzard + Unleash was still a thing, it was the first season I pushed Ranked and got to Rank 4 in 2 days as Shaman, unfortunately it was already the end of the month so I couldn't push to Legend that month. But it made me love Shaman back in the day)... but Shaman as a class is generally lacking, that I'm not sure I want to invest in him.
Sneed's Old Shredder I see in some slower decks (Priest/Warrior specifically), but I'm thinking Ysera will do just as good of a job usually (As well as filling in for the Dragon Archtype those two run these days). Do decks that run Sneeds also run Ysera? Or is Ysera cut for Sneeds?
Toshley just seems kind of solid, but he doesn't really stand out in any particular way IMO.
Justicar Trueheart just seems to dominate in Priest/Warrior/Paladin if you have the spare turn to get it off. Although the tempo loss that turn is usually pretty massive,
I'm not really opposed to playing any specific style of deck; and lots of these crafts would open up some styles I've been wanting to play for a long time (Paladin Decks, Control Warrior, Demonlock, Malygos Decks)
I understand that Malygos and Rhonin are probably the two people are looking at first at some of my 10 to cut, but Malygos has been one of my top desired cards for a long time (Pre-Gadgetzan Miracle I wanted to run the Malygos variant instead of the Leeroy one. Even now I want to run Maly-lock; Malygos Freeze, and Malygos-Rhonin Mass Explosion)
Rhonin is the questionable one IMO; even if it turns out that I decide I'll craft him... I'll still wait a while longer for the meta to develop more. Besides, I'm currently just opening TGT packs, so I might end up pulling him randomly (Like I did Saraad this morning!)
So if someone feels that it is a mistake to pass up any of the 14 Legendaries below Rhonin on my list, I'd like to hear something persuasive help in changing my mind.

Get ready for that empty feeling you get when your 17000 dust changes to 0.
