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.

Greetings, traveler. That is only 4 cents worth. Mistakes were made. Your soul shall suffer!

I also don't care for the gold edge. I do enjoy the animations, though. I also put the gold version of spell cards in my deck if I have them because it makes it easy to tell at a glance what is a spell and what is a minion.

Honest question: Do you interpret it as insulting or threatening if on turn 2, both players at full health, Priest emotes threaten, and then "heals" you for 2? I've always thought it was just funny to do that because it's just being silly. Have I been actually frightening people this whole time?

Yes, exactly! Each class needs more diversity. I haven't been all that excited about the previous mechs and whatnot reveals, but I like where this is going now. We're finally seeing some real cards! :D

I saw this post yesterday and meant to try out the deck last night, but didn't get an opportunity. Hopefully, tonight. Ghoul sounds interesting. I've never played that card myself, but I can see how it would be good here. Really intrigued by the potentional interaction with Acolyte.

Thanks for the list! It's been very helpful having something more up-to-date to work with than Trump's Tiers. I did a 5-win run last night after using the list (had been averages about 3 wins for the last month). Would have been a sixer but I did a misplay on one of my games and lost it because of that. Had an Azure Drake on board, 2 fireballs in hand -- opponent was at 14 and had Sunwalker on board -- I was like damn, I'm 1 off lethal if I can't get my drake through that sunwalker so I pinged and fireballed the sunwalker -- derrrrp, I had 13 + ping and could have won -- it was 1am, so that's my excuse :p

Classic. xD

Thaddius is so much fun, even if Fuegen/Stalagg are not the most efficient cards to run. The animation is great. Sometimes, it's just unavoidable that he gets triggered even when you know that he's coming. You may have to end up using your silence on something else. I'm currently running only one silence in my Priest deck, and last night I played against a Druid running F&S, Baron Rivendare, Ysera, and Molten Giants (I, too, was confused). Fuegen had already been out and killed off, and I was saving my silence for Stalagg, and it was late game so I knew Stalagg was going to come out any time, but I had to end up using my silence on Ysera.
But then I top decked Mind Control, stole Thaddius, and it was all good. :D
I never thought about putting them in my Priest deck. It's deathrattle Priest, so they would probably synergize well. Hm... might have to try it.

I definitely expect the store to crash. And there will probably be a DDOS just to make it that much more exciting.

I loved that game back in the day. Pew! Pew! Pew!
