I'm not sure what Legendary you might consider "obvious" - but if you look at the numbers, Brann Bronzebeard is currently the most-played Wild-only Legendary in Wild apart from the ones you mentioned. Only about one-third of the players in the format include BB in their Shudderwock lists, however. In the long term, if people give up on the Shudderwock 2TK/3TK deck, and start playing a more MR build which features SW as a Battlecry counterpart to N'Zoth for its endgame, then a card like BB might make more sense . . .
By obvious, OP probably means legendaries that consistently see play in Wild, like the cards he mentioned, as well as Brann, Mal'Ganis, Reno, etc. OP is likely looking for cards that, either at its time or now, has seen very minimal play, but has potential in a more forgiving Standard meta.
Outside of the obvious ones, I think Shaku and Gallywix would be welcome in the Tess burgle rogue. I feel like people spouting Boom, Reno, Loatheb, Sylv are missing the point of this thread. Those cards are broken, of course they would see play.
Queen Sylvanas would be downright terrifying. Quest Priest would be insane value with her. And along with Gorgon Zola.... Shuddder...
Oooh. Shudderwock and C’thun would be funny tho....
Shudderwock/C'thun is not that amazing. Yes, you get the buffs and twin but the damage from the battlecry of C'thun himself will trigger for the last Shudderwock played, usually 6 damage. Shudder jades is much better.
Dr. Boom is too slow: not used in wild at all, and even with the less cards, he's not really a thread anymore, when you have a 6 mana minion that summons a 12/12
But why is nobody refering to Reno Jackson? Would be insane against all the aggro-paladins out there.

Believe it or not, he has had an upswing lately in Wild, especially in odd-decks. That 12-12 is frustratingly often a 7-5, and dr. Boom is a very good follow-up in Spiteful decks. He would be all over standard for sure!

What wild Legendary would actually be good in this meta, excluding the obvious like Loatheb, sylvanas, rag, boom..... ?
Example: A card like Bolvar Fordragon might actually be good in a odd pally or maybe not.
Curious to see what everyone thinks
Dreadscale would probably see a ton of play due the rise in paladin, as an easy, cheap board clear.
I have to imagine there are others, I just can't think of any right now.

Malganis would be an autoinclude in most warlock decks except zoo.
There’s always room for Reno and Loetheb.
Brann could find a home in quite a few decks.

Dr. Boom ftw!

Any legendary that was good before, it is still good now.

Really wish Rogues still had Shaku, the Collector.

I was going to say Foe Reaper 4000 might actually see play in this meta or Gahz'rilla in a Kathrena Winterwisp deck
With nzoth, cube and umbra, stalag and feugen when from OK card to very good ones.

Malganis will obviously push cubelock over the top
