Hearthpwn

Woah thanks a lot! I didn't except someone to read the whole post!

That's a great point! I guess The Lich King would be valuable in that deck and would be fun to play.
Do you think I should craft Aya Blackpaw over Patches the Pirate for my evolve Shaman?

I might want to craft the Shaman Hero so maybe a slower deck with Aya Blackpaw would be a good fit.

Hey guys, 

I apologize in advance because this is going to be a long post, so if you don't have the time, it's fine you can skip it :) but before you do that here's a quick summary of what I'll be talking about:

So this post's main goal is to see what the community would recommend me, a F2P player, to craft as Legendaries. First, I will reveal what Legendaries I have from each standard set. Second, I'm going to discuss what decks I usually play and/or like to play. And Third, I will reveal how much dust I have and ways to get more dust.

Your opinion is valuable even if you don't read the whole post so make sure to leave a comment below :)

Note: Although missing Epics is usually relevant when you see missing Legendaries (because they're somewhat as rare), I will not be discussing them because it would be a long list and they cost 4 times less than Legendaries so crafting a few shouldn't be a problem.

ABOUT ME

So I'm a F2P player that started playing hearthstone around 2 years ago and hence I don't have all the Legendaries out there. I don't play a lot on ladder strictly because I don't like being beaten by people that just have better cards. Which is why I shifted to Arena a long time ago and really enjoy playing that game mode. I'm currently on EU but I also started in NA and created another EU account just so I could play more Arena. Usually I use these accounts to relieve my salt. Meaning if I get salty, I just retire the run without worry or just craft a deck and even if it's good, retire it right away.

Without counting these salt moments, I usually average 5-wins in arena and have achieved about 6 12-wins in my life (Keep in mind I don't play this game everyday). Hence, I consider myself a good arena player that knows how to play most of the classes in Arena. 

MY LEGENDARIES AND EPICS

As mentioned previously, I'm a F2P player and don't own every card in all the sets. I consider myself rather unlucky in card openings but oh well :p

I'm going to only discuss standard as I don't feel it's worth it to craft wild Legendaries at the moment.

WHAT DECKS I LIKE TO PLAY

As you saw previously, I have a lot of cards missing especially in the classic set and I missed all the important Legendaries in the Gadgetzan set.

As far as I can recall, here are the decks that I did really well with and reached up to rank 12 with:

• Big Druid (before Wild/Standard became a thing, Toast had a Big Druid meme deck that was the best deck I had since all the Legendaries I have are just big bodies)
• Discardlock (Since Clutchmother Zavas was a thing, I had a lot of success with this deck early on in the Meta and even after Quest Rogue became dominant and I would argue that Quest Rogue is a favorable match-up for this deck)
• Evolve Shaman (It's a cheap top tier deck! The only thing I was missing was Patches the Pirate for the aggro version and Aya Blackpaw for the slow version.. I ended up playing the aggro version without the Pirate package)

Other decks that I have tried but didn't have that much success with:

• Hemet, Jungle Hunter Mage (Kripp's version! It won me a few games but wasn't that consistent)
• Hemet, Jungle Hunter Paladin (Even less consistent but hey Toast makes it work)
• Silence Priest (Post-Un'goro)
• Value Priest (Post-Un'goro)
• Djinni of Zephyrs/Potion of Madness OTK Priest
• Secret Mage (Post-Un'goro)
• Battlecry Mage (Before Standard/Wild introduction)
• Midrange Shaman (Post-Un'goro)
• Handlock (Without Leeroy Jenkins but with Reckless Rocketeer as a replacement... This deck did not get super high win rates because of a lack of another win condition which was Lord Jaraxxus)

As you can see, I only played decks with high win rates when I had most of the cards required for that deck.

I really like to play Paladin but this class requires tons of Legendaries. Second favorite class is Priest.

DUST

I currently have around 12,000 dust.

As you've seen, I have 2 golden Legendaries and wild Legendaries. I am usually conservative with golden cards because I love having them. The only golden card I disenchanted was a golden The Beast (because I was never going to play it) to craft Dr. Boom.

I am willing to disenchant both golden Legendaries and a few Wild Legendaries if needed.

Final Thoughts

I want to have fun, yet still be able to climb the ladder so I don't really want to craft ALL must have classic Legendaries.

Here's a list of Legendaries I was thinking of crafting but you can add your own:

Classic

Archmage Antonidas

Tirion Fordring

Edwin VanCleef

Lord Jaraxxus

Bloodmage Thalnos (Maybe not so much now that we have: Tainted Zealot)

Leeroy Jenkins

Malygos

Ysera

Whispers of the Old Gods

Fandral Staghelm

Ragnaros, Lightlord

Mean Streets of Gadgetzan

Raza the Chained

Patches the Pirate (Feels bad crafting a 1/1 for 1600)

Kazakus

Aya Blackpaw

Journey to Un'Goro

Open the Waygate (Quest)

Sunkeeper Tarim

Awaken the Makers (Quest)

Lyra the Sunshard

Fire Plume's Heart (Quest)

Elise the Trailblazer

Knights of the Frozen Throne

Deathstalker Rexxar (Hero Card)

Thrall, Deathseer (Hero Card)

Bloodreaver Gul'dan (Hero Card)

Arfus

The Lich King

So what do you think I should prioritize crafting? Are there any cards that even will shifting metas will never be useless or lose their place? What would fit in most archetypes? What Legendaries make up the funnest decks to play?
Remember I don't really play ladder so I would like to ease my way in! Each opinion is important!

Final Reminders/Notes:

- I would rather craft Legendaries from new sets rather than old sets. Classic sets are an exception since it won't get rotated out but I would really want to experience this new expansion.
- Remember my dust limit and it would be nice if I had some left over
- Maybe getting 1 value card for example, between The Lich King and Elise the Trailblazer, is better (but arguably, one is instant value while the other is not) 
- Favorite classes are Paladin and Priest
- Maybe looking at Legendaries that compliment the ones I already have would be a way to judge

I'm pretty sure there are other similar cases out there, so by helping me, you'd be (hopefully) helping lots of other F2P players!

Thanks for your time and feedback!

Did not receive an email but got the 2000 gold on my EU account. And here I thought I was just unlucky with pack openings.

I feel that this card could find a home in handbuff paladin.

It's exactly wjat handbuff paladin needed! Something to deal with his opponent's spells since handbuff paladin will undoubtedly dominate the board.

Lots of hate comments :p
I feel this card is promising because the effect is ongoing...
Not sure about that lifesteal part though... I could see it being in an aggressive deck

And for people saying "You might discard it"
Just play it first then discard later (if it's possible)

do the rags switch sides as well?

If your board is filled and Rag doesn't kill any minion (example: when healing totem is in play), the rag does not switch sides and you get him for 3 turns in a row!!! POGCHAMP!

what's that?

Can you please explain what's the meme around monkaS? I keep seeing his name everywhere! (In amaz's stream for example)

Exactly! I thought no one saw them!

Toast has a competitive spirit and he's smart so that helps :P
You go on gameshows to have fun and win... don't you agree?
I believe he wasn't even serious on all the questions and if he was it would've been too one sided...

What you mentioned about Toast is definitely wrong :p The kid is smart... He's dedicated to hearthstone and hence those two things combined can trigger answers faster than others... if he was serious the entire game he wouldn't have lost any question imo... I just know this from watching all his videos, watching him on shows and how he plays each game... That bachelor of Mathematics wasn't for nothing xD 

Thank you all for your repliess! It motivates me to keep adding new cards and fixing some of those! If you have any suggestion for any card you liked feel free to tell me :)

Hey guys.

I am new to the forums so sorry if i am posting this in the wrong section.

But here's a few cards i made and would like to share with you all:

Did you ever wish something like "Exodia the Forbidden One" from Yu-Gi-Oh! was actually in hearthstone? Well here's a somewhat close set of cards:

The Guardian Series:

1- The Guardian's Forehead

2- The Guardian's Left Eye

3- The Guardian's Right Eye

4- The Guardian's Nose

5- The Guardian's Mouth

6- The Guardian!

7- The Guardian's Right-Hand

The dragon is in the pic of the Guardian but it has been cut off since it didn't fit.

NOTE: So here's a Priest card that complements this legendary. How about a 1 mana spell for Shaman that gives +3 attack to all the Guardian's parts. If you have any ideas please leave them in the comment section :)

Discussion:

First off, i know Guardian's stealth make no sense but i went with it logically and added their powers together.           Second, the parts of Guardian where meant to look quite normal and even weaker than other cards and that is because you can use those cards instead of the ones you usually use and get a Guardian in the end! Nothing to lose there. Originally, the part's costs were 1 but i felt they were a bit overpowered so i was like what the heck, 2 is fine. As you may notice, each card's power is associated with its name or the picture. They weren't randomly chosen.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For the following cards, i know some of them may be poorly made and i wanted to fix them but didn't really get the chance. I will comment under each card if some changes were meant to happen.

There are some good ones in there so you can sneak a peak real quick at the warlock and rogue cards.

Others:

1- Classic Cards:

My first card ever! Please don't stop scrolling because of this :') I promise the rest are pretty cool cards!

How about it guys? The same cost as this minion's ATTACK!

Man those cost 8 8/8 dragons are boring! How about a demon? :) 

Correction: He sucks compared to C'thun so i would've moved his cost to 9 or 8 (Keeping in mind that the deal 8 damage is not a Battlecry like C'thun but a deathrattle).

I personally find this card pretty cool! I mean if the opponent can't destroy him in time, he won't be able to, ever!

Correction: Maybe i could make a threshold for the minimum mana one can obtain. In other words when this minion is still alive and the mana of both players reaches 5, for example, next turn it will not go below 5.

I submitted this in this week's competition. It was made in a rush but it was meant to look like the Gods from the new expansion! The God of Balance! (Maybe 8 types is too much, how about 7?)

I could not decide on this minion's picture since i found so many! It all came down to this one or a lady guardian. Guess he won :/

Is it op? Maybe i mean you get 2 turns to prepare! Oh and btw when i say "Immune", i mean you can't heal him either!

I think this guy belongs to a class though! How about priest?

2- Warlock Cards:

Here's a new hero for you all:

And his hero power:

For Venom Demon (one of my favorites), at the start of your turn, when you draw a card, you take 1 damage and whenever you use your hero power, you take 3 damage and so on.

3- Druid Cards:

I think there should be more Giants out there and they deserve their own category.

4- Hunter Cards:

Correction: Her power should be a Battlecry which i forgot to add.

5- Warrior Cards:

I noticed i made this card waayyy too powerful! 

Correction: First, i wanted to change his stupid name:p And change its cost to 5 (making it a bit hard to discard him if we liked a weapon) and make his special move only active "if you have 3 mana crystals or more" (since getting a weapon at the start of your turn is very op). Or i could've just made it so that the weapons summoned are only common or less. This was my second minion so cut me some slack :p

6- Shaman Cards:

For Giganto Totem, it was either this or: "Gain the attributes of the sacrificed totems (Attack and Health included). This minion's attack is always equal to its health." But maybe this last one is a bit too powerful.

7- Priest Cards:

I'm a priest/warrior player so can't believe i only came up with one card for each :/

8- Rogue Cards:

My pride and joy, I like this card most :)

8- Extras?

Okay so here's the deal. I made a "classless" spell by accident and now i have no idea with which hero to put it! So if you guys are interested, please find this spell a home :(

So here's the deal. Dragon eggs? Too mainstream! How about a new born baby? I mean that's something i want to see! He's not perfect but if we could fix up his attack and health we can really make something here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So there it is guys! Please leave your comments if you have any in the comment section below and let's make those card worth it!

Thanks a lot!

Ma'at, the God of balance.
