Thalnos is a great add to most mage decks. Not too important in priest but he's a very good neutral.

How many do you plan to craft? You said "legendaries" but only specified one you're thinking of. 

Did you hit legend with this list? It's one of the better lists I've seen

Your thread title asked if it was horseshit and you get defensive when someone implies you might be salty?

Shaman, primarily midrange before gadgetzan, and then a bit of jade after.

It is highly unlikely that you will have regrets with N'Zoth since he only becomes more powerful in Wild.

Kalimos is in one of the three top decks and is in the top 5 of legends in terms of played winrate (i.e. playing the card contributes to winning the game) -- https://hsreplay.net/cards/#rarity=LEGENDARY&sortBy=includedWinrate

Honestly the only competitor in terms of value is Leeroy Jenkins, Kalimos is one of the best legends in standard and probably the strongest legend in Ungoro in terms of actual winrate value.

There is no risk of him being nerfed so it is improbable there ever will be a 'good refund value' for him. So I think there is no risk that you will get a better deal in terms of dusting the golden.

But what about the normal? Now, are elemental decks good and does Ozruk fit into them well?

https://hsreplay.net/cards/#rarity=LEGENDARY&sortBy=playedWinrate&text=ozr

Elemental decks that run Ozruk have a 51% winrate. This is actually higher than The Caverns Below. Now the played winrate for Ozruk is actually lower than the deck winrate, so Ozruk is not the 'playmaker' of elemental decks although he does fit into them well. But with this in mind, I would not encourage you to dust Ozruk since elemental decks are in a pretty good place.

My verdict: dust the golden, keep the regular

Come on, we all know no one on team 5 actually reads the WoW lore.

I finally got into the beta for Gwent this weekend, played for about two hours yesterday, and... idk. I think their 'new player experience' needs a lot of work. Every 'practice' deck I tried vs the computer, the computer had a bunch of elite cards that instantly shut you down. It felt like my first impression of the game was that it was pay to win and I wasn't even playing against humans.

Serious props to Pikachu for keeping it together in this thread.

To the OP, in terms of deckbuilding goals, your main quest right now is probably going to be to find replacements for the C'thun cards in your deck. Right now C'thun is a very weak win condition since you primarily rely on elemental power, but since there's few alternatives in your card pool you will need to find some more consistent power.

My recommendation at the moment would be to focus on crafting (or ideally opening) 2x Stonehill Defender. This is a very powerful card in paladin because the chance of discovering a Tirion Fordring or Wickerflame Burnbristle is very high. This will give you access to win conditions without actually having to craft those particular legendaries, instead only two rares at 200 dust. For these I am imagining you replacing your c'thun 4-drop and c'thun himself.

To replace your c'thun two-drops, I recommend crafting 2x Hydrologist. Although no elemental synergy, this will give you access to secrets on the fly to react to what your opponent is doing and the board state. Discovering a secret is definitely worth 1 hp on each of the bodies.

Honestly I think you will find it difficult to advance to rank 5 in the current meta with your card pool, although it is not impossible, and bear in mind rank 5 is the next big improvement after rank 15 so if you do not want to commit there's not a big reason to float around on rank 15-10 if you ever start to get frustrated. I would focus on arena, where there will be more balance in card pool and where you can get a sense of fun card interactions. You seem to already have a very good sense of curve and tempo.

Primordial Glyph is in "Consider Crafting" instead "High Priority"? Really?

This is the most powerful mage card ever, x2 stable in all mage decks (x1 in Reno Wild) and possible the most powerful card if you don't count the nerfed ones.

 Good catch, I did move it up after this comment. It is significantly better than Babbling Book and so it will see a fair amount of play, although I'm not sure I'd go so far as to say it's the most powerful mage card ever 0.o

There aren't a lot of dump mage spells, but there are some that can clog your discover choices. 

I hope you get rekt on your first game by explore ungoro and turn 8 primalist into brawl. 

I think Arcane Intellect should be in there, too.

I found the front end of the card too low impact. Also, i don't think it is necessary to go 100% fatigue, it's enough to be slightly fatiguer than the other guy.

I play a nzoth/fatigue version without forgotten torch, agree with rest of the core

I hit Legend with Reno Mage in Wild in the January season, so hopefully I can provide some insight here.

Question/Hypothesis: Although Snowchugger is often indicated as a high value card for crafting, at this point few run it. Does snowchugger have enough value in reno mage?

Question 2: Why does no one (or so few) run Youthful Brewmaster? Is the primary fear that it will be a 'dead card' since one of the chief fears is a turn 6 pirate death/bloodlust death? Or is Manic Soulcaster just too much better?

Question 3: Has Kabal Courier completely removed Jeweled Scarab from the wild meta?

Question 4: Deathlord vs. Dirty Rat. It seems like each has its strengths and weaknesses, but some run neither. Which do you see as less risky or more valuable?

Question 5: Will you still run Flamecannon after the conceal nerf? (Is the primary reason to run it over other removals to kill concealed Gadgetzan Auctioneers?)

This is my view, what I think is an optimal list:

I'm just going to leave this here.

It's the confusing charts and such regarding the values of disenchanting your cards and what you can get.

Have a wonderful day.

Bottom line is, jade druid was taking me long enough to win a single game that I decided to try pirate warrior. 5 games won in the time of 2 jade druid games sounds like a good deal to climb the early ladder. Later I might just go back to druid, once I get to the better players.

Yeah sadly I agree with all of the points raised in the video. I do think the meta is already strongly starting to shift against it though. That being said with it being pretty cheap to craft, and pretty quick to play I can't really blame people for playing this cancer.
