So I updated my Druid list. Turns out running 2 Force of Nature/Savage Roar combos is good.

I only have one FoN, so that's all I run. It seems to work pretty well.

I have enough dust to craft a Legendary finally... here's what I have so far:


Cenarius
Tirion

Millhouse
Illidan
Sylvanas
Dr. Boom
Ragnaros
Sneed
Malygos
Nozdormu
Ysera
Deathwing


I'm thinking about:
Archmage Antonidas
Jaraxxus
Bloodmage Thalnos
Harrison Jones
Baron Geddon
Alexstrasza

...thoughts?

Jaraxxus easily the most entertaining. I'd figure out a deck you need a card for.

Whatever you do don't make my mistake and craft Gazlowe.

Also don't make my mistake and craft Greenskin.

Of those, I'd say Harrison is the most useable off the top of my head.

Harrison is what I was leaning towards. He seems very necessary in the current meta.

Either of the class legendaries are probably my other most likely options.

Ya, they are both good. Obviously not playable in as many things though.

I really like Thalnos, but I play Oil Rogue, and he's super good in that list. Jaraxxus has the best voiceover in the game, Antonidas will push your MechMage to entirely new heights, and Harrison is really strong in the current meta.

Tbh, I think I'd recommend The Black Knight over Harrison. Sludge Belcher and Annoy-o-Tron are ubiquitous, and being able to murder them and leave behind a 4/5 is really nice.

False. Two words disprove this: Chugga and Chugga.

Hmmm. Harrison & Black Knight are both really good, actually. I prefer TBK right now due to SLUDGE BELCHER MANIA... maybe wait and see what gets spoiled in Blackrock. If the meta's going super controlly then it changes what's good.

Also out of those I think Alex might be the most "universally good" neutral legendary. I just crafted Jaraxxus myself and he's fun to play w/ but... I dunno. I don't feel like he changed my Handlock deck that much.

Oh, I meant to put down TBK as an option, too. Definitely going to decide between one of the two neutrals.

I'd go Harrison from those, but TBK even above him.

I just feel like nobody actually plays TBK in anything right now. Obviously it's good against Sludge Belcher and Druid, but I feel like I don't see much Druid and I've had an ok time dealing with Belchers in general.

Harrison seems more necessary to deal with some of those crazy aggro decks.

AUGH I DON'T KNOW WHY CAN'T I JUST HAVE BOTH MAYBE I SHOULD JUST DE A BUNCH OF STUFF TO DO THAT

3 (maybe 4) out of 9 classes use weapons consistently, and even then they don't always have one up, so Harrison is just sort of useless in those matches, where The Black Knight has at least one Neutral, heavily used target (Belcher), and one incredibly common deck with a cheap target (Annoy-o-tron). I think it's up to you, really.

Also you can TBK your opponent's taunt totem for maximum value!

When I feel like playing control, I mostly play Handlock, which loves to have TBK for dealing with anything annoying that comes up as part of its host of control cards. I see it pretty regularly in Warriors and Priests too. Harrison I mostly only see in Priests, and sometimes Druid. I crafted it for use in Druid not long ago, but it's mostly just been another passable topdeck for me and hasn't come in clutch yet.

Why would Harrison have unique synergy with certain classes when its utility is based mainly on the opponent?

Elk, I'm guessing FTM is a Boom replacement?

@Glork: Yeah, I mean, both are really situational meta calls, though. I'd say right now, I'm seeing a ton of Mage, Shaman, and Warlock... and only one of those uses weapons, and the weapons that Shamans do use is limited to basically Doomhammer and Powermace. Doomhammer is a good Harrison target, but Powermace isn't. Although, nothing sucks more than playing Handlock and watching your opponent drop Harrison on your Jaraxxus, drawing 9 cards.

It doesn't have synergy with classes you play, it has synergy based on what the most common matchups are. For example, I'm at Rank 12 right now. I played for about two hours today, and I came up against Mech Mage and Druid a LOT. In both of those matchups, Harrison is useless, while The Black Knight is incredible, so for me where I am, I would craft TBK 100% of the time.
