perhaps that's the whole idea of the game; to be a random clown fiesta.

It's certainly why I play the game and enjoy it more than for example the rather boring MtG. It depends on why you play the game, but I for example don't focus so much on winning, but rather enjoy the actual gameplay as it unfolds and with that always trying to make the best out of it and the more "twists and turns" the more interesting for me. (I wish more people wouldn't take this game so seriously in terms of competition, but whatever.)

And therefore Griftah is my favorite card of the set. And he really is a decent card in general. The problem with him is, like it was said before, that he's Legendary. People won't craft only a "decent Legendary" and even if they get him it might be better for them to craft something more useful for the dust he's worth. Because the actual card itself is on average better than Tanglefur Mystic. Not only you have some control over what either of you might be getting; you also know both cards, not just yours; and that's quite a big deal.

Griftah is an amazing card. My favorite of the expansion even. Although after playing with it I have to say it's not that great, but surprisingly it's still the most fun card. So it's still my favorite, but for the most part it's because all the other cards feel somewhat lame to me. I think it's just the theme of the expansion for me. Everything is just so "competitive" and only a few cards like Griftah, Drakkari Trickster are really fun. For example the Mage Loa is pretty tryhard. Ragnaros for one mana less and it can be triggered multiple times. But nonetheless Griftah would be a very cool card even if there would be better fun cards around. The only reason people complain is because it's Legendary. It's a decent card but it might not feel worthy of a Legendary. But otherwise a really fun card in my opinion. And you can basically run it in pretty much any deck.
