haha yes namely I'm asking which deck is doing best in the meta, Control warlock or Control/kaza priest or Evolve shaman or Tempo/aggro rouge.
Though I'm lacking also Lyra and Velen for Raza priest. I have most other important legendaries already, and only have dust for 2 more. Would appreciate for more insights as to who to craft. Thanks!
(edit) Worth mentioning.. Also lacking Prince kelezeth here.... But I opened both the 3 drop and 4 drop prince....... unlucky.
Gul'dan is the one I currently want to pull from a pack next (but saving my dust for older pack legendaries (as above)). He's certainly one of the strongs Deathknights in the set. An'duin is also very strong, but I think loses out to the tempo of Gul'dan.
Most of the other DKs are pretty much dross.
Keleseth is great (from experience), but very situational and limits deck design somewhat.
and for general decklist is pretty correct I believe
two days ago I crafted guldan and keleseth and play zoo now (list from Trump with spellbreaker instead mortal coil), it works really well against tempo rogue and good against razakus priest as well. overall 14-6 (70% win rate) now from rank 5 to rank 3.
the gist is if you enjoy playing priest and this deck then go ahead and craft, if you do it only for the win rate because the deck is meta I wouldn't do it. Raza will leave standard in half a year, the death knights and keleseth stay for one more year. chances to draw the card you want from packs isn't that high either with 24 legendaries overall and you could already start saving for the next expansion now (after using the last pity timer for the legendary).
xaril will leave standard as well as shaku and you don't necessarily need xaril for tempo rogue (shaku would be good but also playable without it).
with these two legendaries, guldan and keleseth I can now play zoo, hand-lock warlock, pirates (again), some paladin keleseth version, and tempo rogue (a bit weaker without these two legendaries). these cards stay longer and open up new possible decks, so I really think these are good crafts. the shaman one is a good craft as well but only gives you one deck for now, which plays into aoe most of the time (meaning into razakus).
zalae said in his tutorial to razakus priest that the main weakness is big minions and thats actually a pretty big one. razakus is strong but don't build it only because of that, because at the end it is no second jade druid.
Guldan is way more fun and with the wild krullock at a strong spot, but raza is the best meta deck rn and lyra is not necessary, just a plus. rogue is also good, but i do not think it will establish and drawing keleseth is also luck-based and hoping every turn to get him can make someone crazy, would go for priest
If you want fun, yuo've got to try out a Treachery Warlock deck. The one I made recently is insanely funny - especially when a High-roller Priest spams out all his biggest minions. XD
so for my second post, dunno if someone reads it, but just got legend yesterday the first time with zoo (trumps list) with 66% win rate.
I also just crafted thrall, and I basically regret it, the deck is inconsistant and on ladder not as strong as the other tier 1 decks. I also watched streamers on twitch that weren't much better with this deck, don't wanna write an essay about it.... (but it is not only my opinion, even amnesiac said he doesn't udnerstand the deck on his stream).
Ya guys I'm the OP and I ended up crafting Bloodreaver Guldan for my Control warlock and I'm having massive fun with it!
It's doing so well in the meta right now and I dont know why arent more people playing it. Most warlocks I see are zoo I played with zoo but it has much less favored matchups compared to control. Basically CWarlock is doing well against jade druids, zoo, all kinds of priests (except raza if they draw super well and fast), rouges, control deathknight jaina mage, shamans, and the rare murloc paladins. The hardest matchup I've found is tempo secret mage

I think both decks are underrated currently (zoo an control), it is supposed to be tier 3 or 4 following tempostorm and hearthstone topdecks doesn't value it higher either.

Tempo Rogue will probably better, but Highlander Priest is way more fun in my opinion.
By the way, it's best to invest in legendaries which belong to sets you don't buy packs anymore.
You can always get lucky and open a Shadowreaper or a Deathseer, but Shaku/Raza don't have that same chance (assuming you don't buy MSoG anymore).

following tempostorm:
https://tempostorm.com/hearthstone/meta-snapshot/standard/2017-09-24
tier 1 are priest, rogue, shaman, druid, hunter

hope that helped, have fun
Tempo rogue and evolve shaman are currently pretty strong. Tempo rogue especially.
Raza priest is strong but is caught in a bad spot in the meta between aggro and Jade druid.
Guldan isn't quite there but is not far off the pace. At ldeast that's what it feels like to me.
Guldan is way more fun and with the wild krullock at a strong spot, but raza is the best meta deck rn and lyra is not necessary, just a plus. rogue is also good, but i do not think it will establish and drawing keleseth is also luck-based and hoping every turn to get him can make someone crazy, would go for priest
