To all those saying legend is "easy" I really would not go that far (and frankly I doubt some of you have even achieved legend at all), especially for someone who's attempting to hit it for the first time. Others had some pretty helpful advice tho: make sure you're in the right state of mind, mentally sharp, know when to quit if you're tilted, etc. The first time I got legend I set a goal each day for a specific number of stars in a rank and I found that helped a lot. So if I was at rank 3 1 star I would keep an open mind if I was consistently winning and as soon as I started losing I would settle for say rank 3 3 stars (or 1 or 3 stars in whichever higher rank I ended up in) and then shoot for 1 rank higher the next day. You don't need to be too ambitious, it doesn't have to be a sprint. This is a realistic goal oriented approach that serves to prevent tilt and make you appreciate legend all that much more when you get it. With that said you definitely have what it takes to hit legend if you got mid rank 2, you just have to grind it out. Take a long-term/measured approach and I'm sure you will succeed.

It's really not that good of a card man. Rogue doesn't need more value generation and erkh has a terrible body for a 4 drop. I'd be very surprised if it's played at all in competitive rogue decklists, or even much in strong decklists outside of rogue. It's just too easy to remove and too expensive to play in aggro, in most scenarios it'll only provide 1 turn worth of value.

I would not bother, gala shaman isn't tier 1 anymore and there are a number of superior decks/legendaries to spend your dust on. I presume you were asking for standard since you mentioned rotation, so highlander hunter, gala warlock, quest res priest, gala rogue, token druid, lately mech pala, etc. all more worthy of your dust than control/gala shaman (going strictly by WR from HSreplay). If we're talking wild there are several decks that are better as well, but if you have the most fun playing this shaman archetype by all means do you. It's just not the most efficient way to spend your dust if you want to win matches/rank up.
