I am sitting on about 2k dust and i'm wondering what the best new cards are to craft i have Dragonqueen Alexstrasza and Zephrys the Great so im good for highlander but i dont know what the best cards to craft are. Any ideas?
If you play Wild O would say something like Kazakus because it opens up 3 classes to play Highlander decks with. Also healing Reno is a good addition if you do not have it yet.
The "best" legendaries always change. With all the nerfs recently, it remains to be seen if any Galakrond deck and Kronx Dragonhoof is even worth it anymore, a card I would have recommended without hesitation when the expansion launched. Ancharrr was a pretty good one that enabled a strong deck, but it just got nerfed. I guess you could simply try it out while you still get the full refund, but you'd have to make sure you disenchant it again before the refund period is over, in case you are not happy with it.
Considering that we'll have yet another big meta change coming up, I'd wait at least until the adventure is fully released (or all cards were revealed), and you have an idea of what's still worth crafting. It's difficult enough to find any opportune moment to craft legendaries when nerfs seem to always be right around the corner, but right now is really a bad time when nerfs just happened and new cards come out in less than a month.
If you just want to craft something so you can play and have fun with a new deck, it still depends on class preferences. Also, since you asked for the "best new cards", I don't know if you just want to hear about DoD legendaries or cards from other sets as well.
Generally speaking, since you already have Zephrys and Dragonqueen, all the Highlander legendaries are pretty decent, though I'd say that Dinotamer Brann and Reno the Relicologist are more worthwhile than Elise the Enlightened (since Druid can go with other builds too) and especially Sir Finley of the Sands (since Paladin is kinda bad right now). Though it's worth mentioning that Highlander decks generally require a bunch of other legendaries. Siamat is one that goes into pretty much all of them.
Just looking at DoD legendaries, Goru the Mightree is the only legendary you'd need for Treant Druid, which isn't super good, but still a decent deck that doesn't have an entire shopping list of legendaries attached to it. Dragonbane is pretty good for any somewhat aggressive Hunter deck (including Highlander), while Flik Skyshiv is pretty good for most Rogue decks. Most of the other legendaries are less good on their own, and then you'd have to make up your mind what deck you want to eventually build/what class you want to play.
Don't craft randomly good individual cards, but craft towards a deck you want to play.
Most Highlander decks are actually expensive, even lucking in on Zephrys and Dragonqueen. Mage's optimal deck is near 20k dust cost total. Hunter can work without some of their legendaries, but still behind the others. Rogue is probably your best bet. Kronx Dragonhoof is neutral and used in various Galakrond decks, Flik Skyshiv is fantastic, but you can work without her or Edwin depending on your expectations.
Problem is, Rogue was recently nerfed, so no one knows how the class will fare.
Until you have a certain deck/style in mind, you should for now look for more lists, maybe watch some of them in action and hold on to the dust for now. VS report can help you a bit: https://www.vicioussyndicate.com/vs-data-reaper-report-150/
you are right when you say work on a deck not individual cards im starting to realise i checked out the website and it does seem to help thanks very much

I'd say its extremely subjective as always.. Maybe if you specified a class it'll be easier
Are you a wild or standard player?
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffer!
Depends, maybe Kronx? It's a must have in evey Galakrond deck.

Malygos, Aspect of Magic since it wasn't mentioned yet.
Quests are also fun card you can build decks around. corrupt the waters is one of my favourites but you can get any quest and have a really fun deck.
if you keep waiting the meta to settle you will wait until April, just craft a deck you like and have fun.
Zilliax
Swashburglar
Unless you play standard, since he rotates out in April.
honestly Zephrys the Great is a must for literally any highlander, its the best card highlander decks got after reno imo. so its a must craft

I would save your dust, the adventure is coming next week and if you craft anything now, it could become obsolete.
Standard all the way :)
Standard all the way :)

you are right when you say work on a deck not individual cards im starting to realise i checked out the website and it does seem to help thanks very much
