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.

How they can blizzard made him this heropower on same class as Raza? This is disgusting broken combo, when playing against it with control deck, highlander priest is 2nd worst anti-control deck after jade druid. You can at least tech against jade idol, but only way to stop priest having free arcane shot every turn+another with every spell cast is to death grip or dirty rat raza. If I could I'd ban using raza and this card in same deck. So broken against control decks!

Opened 50 packs. Got 3 legendaries (Warlock paladin and rogue quests)
12 epics with lot of primordial glyphs (2 normal 2 golden ones opened)
44 rares including 4 golden rares
5 golden commons. Not bad, seems little above average in total.
I rather expected nothing, so I couldn't be disappointed.

How to beat decorating stormwind? It works with almost everything. First game I dealt 100 damage with aggro hunter with scavenging hyenas and next 2 games I just used a deck full of cheap shaman cards for play 50 shaman cards quest and I always somehow dealt 30 dmg to the boss before dying. So easy.
So it can work with almost anything and it's good brawl to do quests without fighting real opponent. You can probably win with almost any deck, but this deck could be good if you try to be fast.

I fking hate common card reward. (I ended 6-3 and got 80 gold+nongolden common)

Last season I wanted some fast easy deck to get to rank 5, so I built myself simple mech aggro shaman and had winstreak from rank 10 to rank 6, then I had some losses, but got to rank 5. It's fast and similar to classic aggro shaman, but more minion based and without doomhammer after rockbitter nerf. Still has lot of burn after your board gets cleared. Not saying it's a best mech deck, but I think it's playable. Check it yourself. Mech mage is probably still best class, but if you like even faster more all-in mech deck, shaman could be it.

I got plain common card last 5 arenas I finished (9,4,6,3,6 wins)
BLIZZARD, Y U NO GIVE ME NORMAL ARENA REWARDS?
Also my last opponent on his empty board played madder bomber and killed my 5 hp board of 3 minions with it.

Update: I'm now 5-0 with it beating mid shaman secret hunter 2 druids (all in communion and classic one) and miracle rogue. I had some big luck, like in that hunter mirror opponent was 2 away from lethal I had relatively bad hand with lot of spells few minions, but I won with 2x hounds 2x kill command, or vs that druid. I was playing for dominance quest in ranked 16-13 still winstreak and I like use of my golden Rexxar for some good old cancer hunter. Also I changed my mind on tracking, I didn't like this card at first, but it helped me a lot.
If I'll keep high winrate I might have a deck for rank 5 this season. Thanks for sharing the deck. +1

Good deck, only 2-0 now, but my last win was so epic I have to share it. Opponent had t1 astral communion t2 north sea kraken t3 he mulched my huntress and went face and I got aldor from it. Turn 4 he got ragnaros and next 3 minions played were war golem bog creeper and sylvanas. I tanked the rag damage with hounds, went always face and killed bog creeper with kill command+quick shot turn 6. Turn 8 I had 1 hound left (rag went face and it left me with 3 life before) and opponent at 9 life with no taunts. I had one try to topdeck lethal and I got: LEEROY JENKINS!!!

You can try token druid. You can finish with savage roar after a big swing turn like violet teacher+few spells+power of t he wild or some fandral combos or you can even try illidan/summoning stone version for more token generators. It's like slow midrange, that setups first few turns by ramp/raven idol/killing enemy minions, but then you can have crazy OP turns with fandral or token generator. Lategame you can choose from powerful cards like yogg, ragnaros, onyxia, cenarius, aow. Must have 2x arcane giant. There are lot of possible builds.
