I got stupidly lucky and Pulled 2 gold legendaries (Voone and Gral) but now I feel like I have to use them.
-Voone This one isn't a huge deal. Dragon Warrior seems like it could have a lot of potential, especially if you hit Deathwing and/or Ysera with Voone and then Boomship them (like that hilarious cartoon). Even without that the deck doesn't seem to run out of steam and with warrior's great removal tools aggro really isn't an issue. On top of that his entrance animation is freaking METAL.
-Gral I legit have no clue what to do with this card. He's base statline is so low that if he eats anything less than a 3/3 his a bit of a tempo loss so it seems like they wanted some sort of bigish rogue deck to be a thing...except rogue doesn't have the romoval or healing potential to rock a "Big" deck. You can use him with the spirit to eat 2 cards but there's the rest of the deck to consider. If he set off deathrattles that would be amazing and totally worth his horrid statline but as it stands I think I might just have to run some sort of goofy big rogue deck for the memes, unless someone else has ideas. I have to play him once in a while though because the animation is just fantastic.
Wow. It really sucks being able to essentially choose which legendaries you want through DEing huh? If you don’t like them, get rid of them and get something you like. Some of us were stuck with terrible legendaries that we can’t use and no option to DE them for full value.

I specifically said I wanted to use Gral -.- seriously though I'm sitting on 12k dust, I'm not gonna dust something that I might actually use.
PS: You can't dust gold legendaries for full value either
Got Gral in gold too and want to find that niche use for him but right now there are plenty of things to craft with him but I know better lol
Voone, I actually crafted because big old greedy warrior decks are great to play if you like the longer games. Popping it on anything 2 + is great especially when you are hitting Y'sera and Primordial drake or equally good cards

What he means is that you can dust a gold legendary to get the full value of a normal legendary. It's essentually a "choose whatever legendary you want" card. Though this it moot since you have enough dust to do so.
The title threw him off. This thread sounds like a "I want to try to get these cards to work" thread hidden behind a joking "OMG drawing gold legendaries suck" title. But humor tends to get lost in the internet.
On Voone: I played the Whizbang dragon deck with him and got ahold of The Boomship. I then dropped two Bone Dragons and Ysera all with rush. The video is correct it's just an awesome thing to do.
So yeah I suggest seeing if you can fit Boomship in the deck, then use Voone to fill the hand up with strong dragons, play all the weaker minions, then BOOM.
Gral: I think that trying to make him into a BIG BOY isn't a good idea. Rogue is a tempo class, so probably better to just focus on tempo.
One way to think of Gral is this for card text: Summon a vanilla copy of a minion. Give it +2/2 and deathrattle: Add the card back into your hand.
Most of the minions are 3/3 or over, which means it's a 5/5 that draws a card. As far as the exceptions, Tar creeper turns it into a 4/7 for 5 which is pretty good, Edwin and Fungal are weak fstatwise but then you get an Edwin or Fungal into your hand.
The exceptions are Dire Mole and Fire fly. So either you try to avoid low rolling them or you can see if you can find alternatives to running them.
Another consideration: Deathrattle Rogue. Thus when the Shark comes out you can either finish off your Necrium Blade or use a Necrium Vial to get a free card from him. In this case you aren't using him for the stats but using him for card draw. THe key is to put in minions you REaLLY want to have a good few of.
it's going to be a challenge, but it's possible. ($)#( I stopped mocking cards when Cloning Gallery ended up a key card in a tournament worthy deck.
Gold Hakkar this week, and a golden Whizbang in the last expansion.
For the former, I'm holding out till a solid Hakkar deck materializes. I did like Disguised Toast's video today of him destroying a Shudderwock scum with it, with priest. As for the Whizbang ... yeah, it's a novelty, and pretty much a 1,600 dust in case of extreme emergency (it better be worth it).
I also landed Voone and Gral. I hardly play rogue and despise aggro, so Gral is likely a loss.
Voone has some strategic uses -- bait with a spare Ysera, make some useful battlecry or taunt dragons, a possible coup de grace combo with The Boomship -- but I've often had a glut in my hand so using him would backfire.

You could try to make them work.
The other option is letting them sit (at least 3 weeks) until you figure out which legendary you need for a good/meta deck and dust them.

Basically Gral is a 5 mana recruit+Elixir of Hope.
Now look at this typical Odd Rogue deck:
Most of the minions are 3/3 or over, which means it's a 5/5 that draws a card. As far as the exceptions, Tar creeper turns it into a 4/7 for 5 which is pretty good, Edwin and Fungal are weak fstatwise but then you get an Edwin or Fungal into your hand.

One does not simply walk into Mordor,
unless they want to be the best they can be.
Run Gral with The Darkness
