It doesn’t matter you are a new player or a player since beta, you can always use more Hearthstone Legendaries. The rarest of the cards in the game, that one Legendary you need might be difficult to find. You can open 50 packs and end up getting absolutely nothing, or open up a pack you won on a Tavern Brawl and get a couple of the best cards in the game.
To help new players try and build up their Hearthstone collection, Blizzard is selling a new Welcome Bundle. It comes with 10 packs and a random class Legendary from the Basic set, all for $4.99, which is an amazing deal. Some of the Legendaries you can get are great to get you started on a great new deck, while others might be better disenchanting.
Here’s a breakdown of which Hearthstone Legendaries are great, and which ones you’ll be disenchanting for dust.
Amazing
Some Hearthstone cards are needed to make a deck work. The cards can be important combo pieces, cards that swing the momentum of the game, or are just plain good.
- Tirion Fordring is the best Paladin card in the game. There’s no better card to play on turn eight, regardless if you're behind or ahead.
- Grommash Hellscream is the combo corner stone of nearly all Warrior decks, it’s a full toolbox in one card.
- Archmage Antonidas is a whole deck’s win condition. Freeze Mage relies on the Fireballs the bearded wizard creates to win the game. It’s possible to win without him getting value, but it’s much harder.
Useful
These cards are powerful and work well in their own decks, but aren’t needed to make the deck work. Still, hold onto these because you’ll want them in one of your decks down the road.
- Edwin VanCleef is a great card, but requires a great understanding. Rogue is a combo centric deck, which requires the player to stack the cards to use the most mana. New players will struggle with it, and Rogue is in a bad-spot in the meta.
- Lord Jaraxxus- Lord of the Burning Legion is an amazing card. He changes your hero into a powerful demon with a three-attack weapon and a hero power that summons a 6/6 minion. It also sets your health to 15 and takes nine mana to play. If you use this guy at the wrong time, you might end up throwing your lead. If you pull him, throw him a Warlock deck and mess around.
- Cenarius- This centaur isn’t the best Druid Legendary, but he is a great card. He sneaks into decks every few months, because he just gets so much value. He’s not going to win you any Hearthstone tournaments, but he might get you out of rank 15.
Disenchant
These cards are garbage, don’t even look at them twice.
- Al’Akir The Windlord- Shaman is one of the best decks in the game, using strong early game and powerful cards to dominate opponents. This card is nowhere in any of those decks because he’s a waste of value. He has a cute gimmick, but a Shaman has better cards to fill those 30 spots.
- Prophet Velen- I forgot what this card did before I started this article. Priest managed to find a spot in this meta, but it has nothing to do with this guy in a robe.
- King Krush- Hunter is good. King Krush is not. Unless he comes out of a Webspinner don’t even think about playing him once.
