~~ This thread has been archived, for up to date version go here. ~~
This thread is to be a home for legendary crafting advice. If you are not sure which legendary you should craft next, this is the place to ask! We only recommend disenchanting golden versions of legendary cards until you know you will not buy more packs from the corresponding set. Keeping even the worst legendaries will increase your chance of getting a good one next time due to the no-duplicate rule. We will try our best to stay on top of the meta-game with updates, and hope this thread can be a valuable resource for new and veteran players alike to make better decisions with your dust!
Disclaimer: A tier list like this can never please everyone; the meta game is dynamic. If you think a card is in the wrong tier, please explain and provide links to deck lists or other data to support your claim.

This tier list is temporary for now and will not be micromanaged. We have some concepts of a cool interface for this sort of thing that would make this obsolete and we'll see where we're at by the time the next expansion launches. For now, enjoy this current list for all your legendary crafting inquiries.
Ironically, I found the old list format a bit problematic for us Wild players and I am really grateful that you are going to revamp the format. And yes I did notice that you didn't just copy and paste this list from Hearthpwn.
I was looking at one of SlydE's source material for his list: hearthstonetopdecks.com and I really liked that format. I took my understanding of the meta from Tempostorm to better understand what decks were covered in Hsreplay's list. Because I am used to looking at a crafting list for legends, I also enjoyed Hsreplay's Wild Legendary Card Format list as well. I have alway's enjoyed SlydE's list and it is a shame that he will not be joining us here but I am looking forward to a much-improved format of sorting for the best cards.
Based on other card list from the internet SlydE, Hsreplay and the Wild Meta decklist from Tempostorm, I would suggest thinking about adding Open the Waygate to the list. I am not sure how long it will be a Tier 1 card but it currently is.
Chimera, good luck with your adventures. I hope this gets a link on the main page under "cards." Thank you for all that you do around this website. Chimera you are awesome.
New site, same old weird tier 2 name.
Hey, are you planning on updating the list?
