Which of these legendaries should I craft? I just picked the ones that actually see use in decks out there. Didn't include some of the legendaries used in rogue decks because I think those decks kinda suck.

Justicar Trueheart
Grommash
Ysera
Bloodmage Thanos
Lord Jaraxxus
Tirion Fordring
Archmage Antonidas
Vol'jin

well most of those are class legendaries, so it depends on what you want to play. Ysera is probably the best one of those unless you play one of the relevant classes a lot.

All of those are pretty solid but Tirion does go with the best deck right now. I still need Bloodmage and maybe Vol'jin.

You're missing too much to bother with Justicar. If you want to play control warrior you basically "need" Justicar, GromandYsera. Justicar is ok in midrange paladin but using a second murloc knight is fine too and you don't have Tirion anyway.

The only other deck running Justicar would be control priest which simply isn't that great right now and you'd probably rather play dragon if you want to do priest, and on the topic of priest you can get away without having Voljin but it can be a nice anti-control tech card. But you're missing Ysera for dragon and probably for control priest too, so crafting Justicar for priest is also a no-go.

Jaraxxus is good if you have the rest of a handlock build but handlock is in a tight spot right now in the meta. Kind of depends if you are running into much aggro/hunter, can be more useful in low ranks/late season.

Thalnos if you are in need for freeze mage and want to play it, or you are a masochist who wants to do oil rogue.

That leaves Antonio and Tirion, both of which have places in more than one popular class build. It would come down to which of those classes you want to play more, but I believe Tirion is the stronger of the two. You can make a reasonable freeze, tempo or mech mage deck without Antonio even though he's popular for all of them and mostly automatic for mech. You just don't do mid or secret pally without Tirion though and those are the far more popular and resilient pally builds compared to straight minion aggro/shockadin.

For Control/Fatigue Warrior you should have both Justicar and Grommash, if you can't get both then hold off.

Ysera mainly for Dragon Priest, could put in Control Warrior later.

Thalnos for Rogue, but no top-tier Rogue deck atm

Vol'Jin isn't priority.

Antonidas for most Mage decks

Jaraxxus not priority, even in Demonlock he's not necessary.

Tirion is a must for Paladin decks

I'll probably go for Ysera. Thanks for all the input.

I'm in about the same shoes and Ysera is my next legendary to craft too, since she is usable in most control decks, which is the archetype I usually gravitate towards.

Ya I'm in a similar spot but already have Grommash and Antonio. Would like to do a control warrior finally and am thinking about crafting a Justicar, but not sure how successful it would be with Emp, Troggzor, Grom, Sylvanas, Harrison, Boom, and Rag but missing Alex/Ysera/Geddon. I'm still kicking myself that I disenchanted my Geddon during my first week of play.

*typing that out it seems I do have enough bigs to run a control warrior if I craft a Justicar. Got enough gold to buy 13 or so packs then I'm gonna pull the trigger. I'm so ready to play a new deck.

I've got a soft spot for Ysera since she was my first Legendary. When played correctly (after baiting removal) she swings games hard. She doesn't have a bad dream card and her body is a bitch to deal with. So with that being said she is super duper greedy and can be a dead card in the hyper aggressive environment. She's great in Dragon Priest though. Even in an opening hand she can be useful to fuel the synergy effects.

I'm in a spot where I can craft another legendary. I'm still missing too much for control warrior (Grom and Justicar). Here is what I'm missing (of what I think is most needed).

Antonidas
Vol'jin
Al'Akir
Jaraxxus
Gromm/Varian

Non-class
Thalnos
Harrison
Saraad
Justicar
Chillmaw
Alexstrasza

I play everything except Rogue and Warrior (due to not enough cards for control).

I'd craft Alex before I crafted Justicar.

Even Control Warrior can't run that many Legendaries.

My Control Warrior usually runs: Harrison/Sylvanas/Boom/Gromm/Alex/Geddon/Justicar as Core. I feel like you can maybe squeeze in 1 flex, but not always: Ysera/Rag/Nef.
Emperor is wasteful in Control. Troggzor is decent as a flex if you are missing something from the Core/Flex list. Geddon is more of a flex too but in this meta he's really good. In slower metas I'll sub out Geddon for Rag. Rag is better at taking out big targets whereas Geddon is for the board clears. You can't normally afford both imo because if you take Ragnaros you probably want Ysera or Nef as well (since the slower meta supports it).

Yes:
Harrison - very good with current meta, use in Priest/Druid/Warrior/Paladin
Alexstrasza - always good, use in Warrior/Mage/Shaman
Antonidas - all good mage decks currently use
Justicar - Warrior (control/fatigue) / Priest (control) / Paladin (tokens)
Gromm - all current warrior decks use

No:
Vol'jin - used in old Dragon priest list, not often used in current lists
Al'Akir - Shaman aren't good and Al'Akir is used less than 50% of the time in Shaman now
Varian - No good warrior deck is using. Loses to Aggro (too slow), Loses to Control (Light Bomb / Shadowflame / Brawl / Equal+Consec)

Maybe:
Jaraxxus - I still like Jaraxxus in my Handlock/Demonlock list but some lists have removed it
Thalnos - Rogue decks aren't good, could be used in Freeze mage.
Saraad - Only used in Casino mage/Tempo mage atm
Chillmaw - Even in Dragon Priest he's a flex card.

By constructing Ysera I was able to build a Dragon Priest deck. Still missing a couple of the cards in the "ideal" deck, but I can manage. Went on a 5-0 run last night before I went to bed!

I actually quite like Trog in Control Warrior and use him in my fatigue version. He's not clearly better or anything but can confuse people at times and I think that has value.

Mine is golden which is another reason I try to find excuses to use him. But yeah he either forces bad trades or he leaves behind a warm body.

Woohoo, got sorta lucky, once!

Was at 6hp, the previous turn my mage opponent just fireballed and frost bolted me and is going on 10 mana next turn. His board is empty while I have an armorsmith and a few minions. I slam my sylvanas to fish and for armor, nothing, I slam my armorsmith. Draw shield maiden, putting me at 13 effective hp. He did pyroblast me the following turn, had I not drawn into the shield maiden he would have had exact lethal.

The Trolling in the Brawl is crazy - I keep getting teamed up with people who put Blessing of Might, or Divine Spirit on the Boss.

I don't think it's intentional trolling tbh. My very first game I didn't even bother to read the instructions and just assumed like a retard that I was suppose to help the dude kill the other player. Didn't realize until the 5th or 6th turn that I had fucked up and by then it was too late.

Haha, I had this happen to me when I played a game on eu server to get the free pack. I gave the priest's 4 drop that gets bigger w/ heals +3 attack and divine shield, he didn't attack the following turn. I'm thinking ok, maybe he just didn't want to pop the divine shield, next turn I double his attack to 24 with the paladin spell that doubles attack. Guy still didn't attack so I conceded.
