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As the meta is still evolving heavily, anything we suggest here could become outdated quickly.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.
hey i got warning points for saying something similar
My like cards it is trash?
you cant call zereks trash im seeing it in wild a lot with great success
He is not
Zerek and the Cloning Gallery are performing well for me. Hell, Dr Morrigan does well replacing lackey's in cube lock.
Whizbang the Wonderful is a really cool card. Now you don't even need to pretend that you make any decisions in the game. The game now does all the job for you - not only deciding when do you win or loose - but now even chooses the class with which you'll win or loose the coinflip. It reminds me of an old game, called MyBrute. All you have to do is to press the queue button LUL
Ahahah Harbringer Celestia better than Zerek's Cloning Gallery
Trash Article
ye for standard in my comment i said wild.
Lol there are really players that put Harbinger Celestia in their decks ... WOW
is this a content we deserve?
Priest got 2 bad Legendary...
And i got them both, lucky me
TIER 2 no dr boom?
mech is not that good in warrior that why dr boom is that great
Since the usability of cards goes up and down depending of what the meta looks like, statements like this article, before even 1 week in the new expansion has gone by, are not to be trusted.
Does the person who wrote this even play Hearthstone? Lolz
I have got Dr.Morrigan , Zerek Master Cloner and Project 9
Alternative advice:
only dust duplicates and golden legendaries. Recrafting is rediculously inefficient.
yeah, this article is pretty bad. so bad actually, that i would suggest the hearthpwn team to change it. there are plenty of ideas in the comments. Zilliax should be tier 1, great legendaries like floop or dr. boom are not even mentioned here and whizzbang should just get recommended for new players and not even put into any tier like that.
This article is downright aweful. Agreed it’s missing out on awesome legends and it includes Whizzbang as a good card... what a joke! I can’t see Celestia being better than any of the trash tier on the list either. How can she EVER be good if the opponent sees her and of course isn’t going to play anything that will screw them over by letting the opponent copy it. I don’t think whoever wrote this article even plays Hearthstone.
