Hearthpwn

This card is strong in 2 ways. The actual 20/20 which takes hard removal to kill and the 3 candles which invade your opponent's deck preventing 1-of decks like Raza priest from activating their battlecries. A bonus is that either way you are happy if they draw no candles their cards don't work and if they draw them all you get a 20/20, meaning the card's worst case (against Raza priest or 1-of warlock which might be a deck later this expansion) is when they draw 2 candles and have 1 in the deck.

 Obviously, the worst part of the card, in general, is that you do nothing the turn you play it, meaning it is probably bad in tempo deck, midrange and aggro. The other bad part of the card is the fact that it's legendary and not searchable. This means that if the Raza Priest draws Raza before before you draw this card it doesn't even change their combo potential with the Death Knight. This makes it pretty weak in control decks which need a hard answer to the late game combo of Raza Priest.

So for mill, which is not a deck and has never been a deck in standard, this card does not seem as strong as people think. the best mill deck has been a Rogue which uses N'zoth to resurrect deathlord and dancing blades(?) and would not need this. A few reasons why a 20/20 is not good in mill. 1) mill has no large minions so the hard removal would not be a useful card until you play this. You rarely have enough mana to play a 4 mana "do nothing" and if you do, it gains you nothing in the early game which is when mill loses. 

To conclude, this card is not meta defining in any way. It's at its best against Raza Priest which requires luck to be drawn before the opponents Raza, and if you can win that coin flip, you might as well play Raza Priest. 

You can't compare a 6 mana card to six 1 mana cards. Saying this is "half as good" as Iron Hide is wrong. 1 mana cards are stronger per mana cost than 6 mana cards. Like a Mana Wyrm x6 would be a 6/18 that gained 6 attack when you cast a spell. Pretty strong 6 drop eh? Or Iron Hide x6 would give you 30 armor for 6 mana, also too strong. This is a fantastic card, the problem is the randomness making it worse than "very good". If control warrior is a deck, this card will be in the deck. 

A New Legendary Crafting Tier List Has Appeared!

The ratings in the thread are more than my opinion, they are opinions of people I know, myself and popular Steamers such as Trump, Reynad, Sjow, etc. I am ranking the Cards in Tiers/Brackets I am doing this because it is impossible to rate them from 1 to X.

This is not a tier list of the best Legendaries, this is a Crafting Tier list. This list is used to find out which Legendaries to craft and Disenchant. Arena and non-competitive play have no bearing on this list. 

I have arranged the Legendaries this way to not only show their importance in constructed but also to inform readers on how/why they are useful. If you have any questions about the tier list ask them, if you believe the tier list should be changed in any way, PM me.

Remember: If you would like to know what Legendary to craft, please include the decks you play and the decks you are going to play. This is necessary and someone can help you a lot easier.

This card is very good in a slower token druid build it basically will need hard removal 

Quote from kegstandgoldmedal >>

So, this plus The Marsh Queen basically shuffles into your deck 15 3-mana Lost Tallstrider that each draw you a card.

"All your minions may attack gain 5 mana" 

I can't wait! This Expansion looks great in my honest opinion. 

the meta was to fast at the time 

Teammate got legend? you don't enter in legend at rank 3k... and it shows your rank before the game beside your name so that screenshot is someone just winning a game with shaman...

Nice deck tho I saw the rank 10 legend evolve shaman, I just want to know why you would ever run devolve... seems like any anyone card that doesn't kill things is just worse than lighting storm, but maybe you need a 5th aoe. 

Soooo this is now something like the 15th most upvoted deck on Hearthstone, although I'm pretty sure it has like 2000 upvotes and 1500 downvotes because of all the Huntard haters : )

The dream is real! Turn 2 and a full board

Quote from Flood jump

 

Seeing a gold amount not customized to how many wings of each adventures you have purchased is pointless. 

Yeah it would be nice but not worth it in the long run. It would be a lot better to say 3 wings of BRM 4 wings of GvG

^ this

Following the OP's logic (which makes sense) not all players have unlocked the same number of wings in each adventure. The only thing that would make any sense here is if we could have a "collection" database for each user (like on hearthhead, or wow.tcgbrowser for the former WoW TCG) and the gold/dust cost would adapt to this.

So yeah the quickest way would be like a BRM icon and the number of wings next to it and a Naxx icon and the number of wings next to it. But then again, when more adventures are released, this would become way too cluttered up to be convenient for anyone anyway...

Please guys, play this deck against me :D

what stream?xD

Who upvotes these decks to front page status?

All I am going to say is that showing decks like this on the main page make Hearthpwn look bad.

This list isn't running a single MSG card - just a standard Kara deck edited with a clickbait title, don't fall for this scum

Quote from bluealert375 >>

feels like everyone is taking 60 sec to play a turn and its getting annoying

even in the early turns, its fucking intentional bm.
