The expansion has been out for almost a week. Dust settling here is my verdict on legendaries
1) Baku is great for agro decks like Hunter Paladin
2) Shudderwock is hilarious and could create endless matches in mirror.
3) Genn Greymane is ok, but even Paladin and even secret hunter aren’t that great.
4) Toki is kind of shit. There’s a ton of wild legendaries you don’t want, and a handful you may find useful. Guess which you get...
5) Gunspire is a cool toy, but hard to pull off wins with. Still refining my gunspire deck.
6) Tess will replay every class card you played previously, if you switch to another class death knight through burgling, and then switch back to Rogue, not just your cards from other classes. Inspiration for a malygos Rogue if I ever saw it.
7) Lord Godfrey is a great board clear
8) Chameleos is great for spying on your opponents deck, but can also let you take their cards at key moments. For example, playing the Azari Devourer out of your opponents hand and blowing their deck up.
9) Prince Liam converting all your 1 cost cards to legendaries is like a golden monkey statue without having to get the map.
10) Emeriss and Splintergraft are too big. But worse is that in the current update, Splintergraft and also other cards that specify the cost of the minion to be generated (like Sonya), will not see their cards discounted by other field enchantments. An example is I played a Cthun Druid who dropped Aviana, Cthun, Splintergraft, and then just stared at the 10 mana Cthun that refused to cost 1 mana. Another example of this effect is that scorp-o-matics generated by Sonya will not cost 0 if you have mechwarpers on board.
11) Lady in White is a fun card in dragon priest. Dropping a 12/12 ysera is almost as good as 8/8 deathlords.
12) Hagatha is ok. Not bad. Not great. Just okay. Her battlecry does 3 damage to all minions, including your Shudderwock. The cards she generates are often useless and take up space in the hand and force you to waste your mana hand washing.
13) A lot of people say Darius Crowley is great for rush warrior. I don’t have the card yet so no comment.
14) Glinda Crowskin - I have seen where she gets dropped on a board and can summon giants over and over. When this gets refined she will be a terror. Also it explains exactly why Molten Giant was moved to Wild.
Currently playing:
Cthun Aviana Druid. My deck runs like a mill Druid, with naturalize and coldlights, added in Forest Guides because they draw cards for both players end of turn. One UI but thinking to drop it because hands can get heavy. The combo is this
Aviana, kun, Brann, Cthun, Zola on Cthun, cthun, cthun
What I want to play but can’t:
Aviana, Kun, coldlight, coldlight, Togwaggle, azalina,
