Initial Crafting Advice For Legendary Cards In The Boomsday Project
Now that we've had a few days of playing with the new Legendary cards brought to us by Boom Labs in The Boomsday Project, we've got some initial rankings to share on how well they're doing. You can use the information here to help decide whether or not you want to craft any of the new legendary cards, though we do think it's still smart to wait a couple of weeks from an expansion launch before making any big decisions.
Below you'll find our highlights of each tier, along with a description of what the different tiers mean. Full data can be found in our Hearthstone Legendary Cards Tier List & Crafting Guide thread found over on the card discussion forums. Updates will be made to that thread as things evolve.
It should also be noted we've got a special section just for ranking cards in Wild.
Tier 1 - Staples
We're not confident in giving any cards the Tier 1 badge yet because these are considered as must-have cards. Anything in this bracket is typically used in either a certain archetype that is crushing everything else or is used across a variety of high-level decks. Great examples of cards in this tier from Witchwood were Baku the Mooneater and Genn Greymane which were used in many different classes to great success.
As the meta is still evolving heavily, anything we suggest here could become outdated quickly. We've got a good idea what belongs here after a couple of weeks.
Tier 2 - Tech
These are usually cards that although not necessarily must-crafts, they're going to help you out with a particular archetype that is seeing success.
Tier 3 - Playable
We're seeing these cards working in decks and although they may not be at the absolute top right now, it could go both ways. At the very least they're usually fun additions to the game.
Tier 4 - Niche
If you've got them, it may be worth hanging onto because they're at least seeing some play. Disenchanting these cards may result in regret down the line.
Tier 5 - Trash
Dust em! It's really that easy.

Check out a breakdown of all the cards in our Legendary Tier List and Crafting Guide. We'll be updating it throughout the expansion, you can also find it in our site navigation under the cards category.
Subject 9 is in tier 1 in wild!
lmao wild is irrelevant.
There is a Shaman deck (not the Elemental version) that basically only run spells... you are always cleaning the board but you dont do nothing do develop your board... Maybe I didnt get the idea of the deck, but for me its totally trash
Good idea for a guide but surely a mistake in Tier 4 and Tier 5 - maybe swap them around?? Harbinger Celestia Teir 4 - Niche ahead of the other 3 in "dust them" Teir 5? Those Tier 5 cards are at least seeing some play. Harbinger played 4000 times only with terrible stats on HSreplay : https://hsreplay.net/cards/#text=harbinger celestia&showSparse=yes
How is zerek trash??
I wish to know that too. I have Golden Zerek, so if it's really a trash, i'm about to craft a free lengendary.
The two Zerek legendaries have a lot of potential upside in future expansions if there's further support in the form of playable minions with powerful card text (for gallery) and synergy for cheap Priest spells (for cloner).
Maybe they won't get any support.They may be the last support of quest priest
If you turn one into 400 dust, maybe you'll get it again as your next Legendary.
how the hell is harbringer niche and zelek clone gallery trash ??
harbringer will never see play, its a 4 mana voidwalker or firefly
