Finally after many seasons of try-harding, I've made it to legend





I used Midrange hunter deck I through together today while I was middling around at rank 5.



I don't think there's anything really special about it, but it got me to legend so it has to be my favorite deck

Got the "spectate a win for a pack" quest, spectated my friend, she won her first game, I open my pack and get a Baron Geddon whom I didn't have yet. I call that a super win-win. :D

Okay guys - I have enough dust to get another legendary, but I am not sure which one I want most. Halp? The contenders are:

The Dark Knight - Probably the best all-around card and the one I would use the most
Bloodmage Thalnos - For more fun spell damage combo-type decks
Harrison Jones - Not sure how many weapons are out there, but I think this card is often better replaced by Acidic Swamp Ooze anyway
Cairne Bloodhoof - I know it's slow but I have still always wanted one
Onyxia - A very decent dragon that could give me an opportunity for a cheap Volcanic Drake or Solemn Vigil
Malygos - Malylock!

Grommash - I play Warrior a good amount and this is basically an auto-include in any type of Warrior
Cenarius - I also play Druid a lot, and this guy would be pretty nice
Antonidas - Simply an excellent Mage card
Mal'Ganis - I am excited about the idea of building a Demon deck, but I would really need this card. Worth it?
Jaraxxus - Also good in Demonlock, but better in Handlock, which I am also very interested in - however, I still need 3 giants, so this is quite a long-term goal
Al'Akir - I do not play Shaman much, but hey, with Al'Akir I might
Trade Prince Gallywix - I am missing a few other cards I would need to make a Rogue control deck (like both Preps and Thalnos), but I like the idea behind this guy.

(Just from a noob perspective of not having many legendaries, ignore me if you have a good amount already) you should probably craft something neutral, because then at least you can use it in all kinds of decks. A class-specific one is still good, but you simply won't use it quite as much as a good legendary (like Black Knight) that could go in any deck.

Oh, ouch. Playing Mage, and opponent coins Deathlord on turn two. On my turn (3) I play Fireball with Sorcerer's Apprentice and then kill Deathlord. Pulls out my Malygos.

He didn't stand a chance.

Normally I would agree, but I already have a lot of neutrals (Boom, Ragnaros, Sylvanas, Ysera, Sneed's, Alexstraza, etc.) - more than I can put in most decks, and I think in the long run it might be better at this point to simply get a better card, even if it has more limited use options. Thus I am leaning more towards Grommash than the Knight.

(PS the class legendaries I have are Tirion, Vol'Jinn, Neptulon, and Iron Juggernaut.)

The Black Knight - The main taunts people run now are Sludge Belchers and the occasional Dread Corsair in patron decks. If those cards are often a problem for you, TBK is a good choice.
Bloodmage Thalnos - Not the flashiest legendary, but a solid card all-around.
Harrison Jones - The value of this card depends on the number of weapons you regularly face. Patron warrior is still quite strong, and this card can really hurt it by destroying death's bite before they flood the board.
Cairne Bloodhoof - Not the best choice right now. He is unable to kill most of the 5 drops people play. Piloted Sky Golem is often a better sticky minion.
Onyxia - I don't have too much experience with her, but she seems amusing. Playing her against Grim Patrons is pretty much suicide.
Malygos - Same as above. I know people are having some recent success with him.

Grommash - Fantastic card if you main Warrior.
Cenarius - Fantastic card if you main Druid.
Antonidas - Fantastic card if you main Mage.
Mal'Ganis - The voidcaller value!
Jaraxxus - As you mentioned, he can be one of the last cards you add into a handlock deck. Craft the core cards first.
Al'Akir - I personally dusted an Al'Akir a while back. He's a good card, but shaman is just in a terrible spot right now.
Trade Prince Gallywix - Kripp just released a video about TPG, and said that the downside of this card is extremely bad for rogues. I also dusted him. He would be so much better as a neutral.

Of all the neutrals you listed Black Knight and Bloodmage Thalnos are both solid picks that you can't go wrong with. Personally I find more use out of Black Knight.

You can't go wrong with any of the class cards. I agree with Lambo though Trade Prince Gally kinda stinks... looks cool on paper but I haven't been able to get him to work. IMO Antonidas is the best of the cards you listed but if Mage isn't your main class you should probably craft something else.

So the Magni card back actually looks really cool. I don't necessarily want him for a Hero, but I might buy him later just for that back (especially once the different-backs-per-deck function is added).

Whenever I see these alternate heroes, I shall cackle, for they are short $10 for almost no reason except that it looks cool. I will know that I saved $10, and they lost $10. Mwa ha ha...

(Or, it means they have enough money to spend on such crap, and will likely beat me. Oh dear)

I know! I went through last night and gave all my decks a different back, haha. I'm such a nerd.

So, I am regularly dusting 3-5 cards from my arena prize pack (about half the time, the rare as well). Should I ignore arena for a while, and go for adventures (finally)? If so, what should I go for first, Naxx or Blackrock? (My most played are Mage, Paladin, Rogue, and Warlock).

That is kind of what I was thinking. Haunted Creeper and Sludge Belcher come from the first two wings alone...

I agree that Nax should come before Blackrock for the most part, but I think it's worth it to at least do the first wing of Blackrock after a couple of Nax wings, if only for Thaurissan.

I feel it would be a bit more even if Ragnaros started with the deal 8 damage hero power.
