The 20 Best Legendary Hearthstone October

10: Bloodreaver Gul’dan

Quietly rising to 10th place, Gul’dan has surpassed many other Legendaries quite unexpectedly. While many cards are appreciated for his strength in the meta, Gul’dan is in the top 10 due to his huge potential. Despite being in the deck where Pavel won the HCT Summer Playoffs, Warlock is still not a popular class at the moment.

Obviously Bloodreaver Gul’dan is extremely powerful. Many people think that Gul’dan is a difficult Hero card to play because the current Demon type is not strong enough. However, after being tested by many matches, the Demons in the Standard are still good enough to guarantee a stable value for Gul’dan, not to mention Hero Power is probably only inferior to the Death Knight of the Priest class. Twice as strong as Druid, it overcomes an inherent weakness of Warlock since Antique Healbot and Reno Jackson returned to Wild, which is the ability to heal stably. With the right additions in the near future, Bloodreaver Gul’dan can completely become the dominant card of the meta, and that is why he is ranked so high. In Wild, he is even stronger, thanks to fearsome Demons like Imp Gang Boss, Voidcaller and especially Mal’Ganis.

9: Fandral Staghelm

Fandral is truly a minion with no negative points, and for a Legendary, that further confirms its power. With 3/5 for 4 mana, Fandral can play a role in taking tempo on turn 4. However, he is usually kept for later in the game, and can generate huge value from two effects. combine. If you go to Fandral turn 4 and your opponent can’t handle it, you will go to Nourish turn 5 and it will be almost too difficult for the opponent to flip the bet. Sometimes cards drawn after Nourish can use Fandral’s value again, typically Wrath: deal 4 damage to a minion and draw a card with only 2 mana. In fact, if you let Fandral live through a turn and unless you play a deck that doesn’t care how big and small the opponent is (like Quest Mage), you’re almost certainly not going to get your head up.

Even though he won’t be able to play Fandral very soon after Innervate is nerfed, his power will still embody the power of the Druid class. Perhaps until April 2018, Fandral Staghelm and Malfurion will still be a perfect match for this class.

8: Kazakus

In the previous review, Kazakus did not feature in the top 20, which proves that a card cannot be judged accurately by looking at it alone. Naturally, in order to play Kazakus effectively, the class you play must be as strong as a unit. Priest now gets that power with Raza the Chained, a card that also requires a deck with 30 different cards. Raza now has a strong place in the Priest class, so obviously Kazakus will also be used because the conditions for playing the two cards above are completely equivalent. (If you don’t have a brain and have Raza in your deck, add Kazakus and you’re still brainless, that’s obvious).

We have seen that Kazakus can get a place in Razakus Priest. Now let’s find out why players want Kazakus in their deck so much. While no single effect of Kazakus’ spell is too op, being discovered up to 2 times makes his potion unique in terms of versatility. In most cases you’ll get exactly what you need, whether it’s summoning monsters, clearing tables, or building armor. Kazakus turn 4 and clear turn 5 will often be very hard on aggro and tempo decks and slow them down enough for you to use strong cards later.

Of course, the real reason why Kazakus is back there is 1. Razakus is a very cool guy, 2. Priest still misses Reno and Kazakus can take the place of the adventurer. Mmm, hiiiiiii blooduuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…

7: Raza the Chained

Raza has a very precise name: his fate, like that of Shadowreaper Anduin, is intertwined and inseparable. With Razakus Priest dominating the meta, it will be difficult to talk about the two cards in isolation, and check out this review for an independent review of them.

5 mana 5/5 is a steady stat for a 5 mana card, and adding the effect of reducing Hero Power’s cost to zero for the rest of the match is something extraordinary. Trading monsters on the table becomes extremely valuable, and you no longer have to think about making more cards or using Hero Power, because you can simply do both. Like Kazakus, having to use a deck with 30 different cards is Raza’s biggest minus point, but it doesn’t matter when all cards are used for the same purpose.

Shadowreaper Anduin’s Hero Power is strong without Raza, so can you imagine how strong it would be with Raza’s support? It makes Jaraxxus’ Hero Power – previously considered the most powerful in the game – look like a joke. Anduin’s machine gun continuously deals damage where you need it and often with the use of Prophet Velen, Mind Blast and low mana spells, you can completely burn over 20 enemy health in just one turn. And this is exactly what the Priest class has always wanted: stable win conditions. And of course Priest is present in the decks of most tournament gosu, something that has never happened in Hearthstone history.

6: Malfurion the Pestilent

In case you’re screaming because the neuros are dominating the meta, remember Druid has maintained his strength since KFT’s debut. A card that greatly contributes to the success of the Druid is the Hero card Malfurion the Pestilent.

This Death Knight mirrors the hallmark of Druid with both Battlecry and Hero Power being a Choose one effect (and of course both working with Fandral). With that versatility, Malfurion offers consistent value in most cases. It only costs 7 mana, and with Druid’s early game mana hack you can play it pretty soon.

Although Druid also has a lot of small clearings, dealing 3 damage per turn is exactly what this class needs, it makes building Druid decks easier. Whether it’s 3 damage or 3 armor, it will help you stay until turn 10 and everyone knows what turn 10 Druid has. Cancerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

It’s not easy to point out that the card has the power of the entire Druid class, but the Druid has a large number of very good class cards that are not Legendary. It is understandable that Malfurion occupies such a high position in this compilation. Even if Druid has changes in the next few months, Malfurion will probably still be the first choice due to its versatility.

5: Prince Keleseth

Prior to patch 9.1, Prince Keleseth didn’t appear on this list, although he did receive a few votes. After a fatal nerf to the Warrior’s ax, Keleseth rose to power with a drastic reduction in the number of Pirate Warriors.

The ability to buff +1/+1 for all minions in the deck helps Zoolock return to the meta, when it can limit Zoo’s weakness of lack of 2 drops by tapping or playing 2 cards of 1 mana. However, his true strength lies in the Tempo Rogue deck. Combined with Shadowstep, it easily becomes one of the most frustrating game openings for opponents (as well as turn 1 Edwin 10/10) and leads to countless instances of player rage quit. 2 mana 2/2 isn’t too bad at providing early game tempo either. For Rogue, turning 2 weapons is completely acceptable, so Keleseth does not have a negative impact on the deck in general.

As with Ultimate Cancer, Keleseth is being hated by players, but if there are good 2 mana minion all classes appearing in the next expansions, Keleseth could be replaced. Therefore, it is quite certain that Keleseth will not be nerfed in the near future.

4: Aya Blackpaw

Aya once again rose to become a top Legendary, despite being closely pursued by Malfurion the Pestilent. Jade Druid is still one of the strongest decks in Hearthstone today, and still retains most of its power after Innervate and Spreading Plague were nerfed. Jade Druid’s goal is to create greenstones as quickly as possible, and Aya is the card that does that best.

While Aya’s high ranking is largely due to Jade Druid, it shouldn’t be forgotten that Aya is also very strong in Shaman decks that use some Jade creation cards like Jade Claws and Jade Lightning. With the ease of summoning three minions with a total stat of at least 9/7 for 6 mana, it’s obvious that Aya is always a strong minion even without the Jade synergy. Not to mention, creating 2 Jade Golems with only one card makes the Jade Lotus owner unique.

If receiving the necessary additions, Jade Rogue can also completely become a new force in the meta thanks to the ability to summon more Jade after playing Valeera the Hollow. Then Aya will be seen even more in Ranked, instead of mainly appearing in the current Jade Druid decks. Although Rogue’s Jade creation cards are quite weak compared to the other two classes in the Lotus family, Aya can greatly enhance their power.

3: Sunkeeper Tarim

Ranked 1st place in the previous rankings, Tarim is now down 2 places to 3rd. Still, he’s still fairly appreciated after the KFT meta has stabilized, and still shows up in a large amount, if not to say all, Paladin decks.

Tarim is also a very versatile minion, and that greatly contributes to its strength. Tarim can be used to buff many small minions into a powerful 3/3 array, and sometimes has the same effect as Savage Roar. Even if it’s not enough to immediately finish off the opponent, the table is tilted towards the light knight and it will be difficult for the opponent to clear it. Tarim’s defense is also very special, with it being able to handle all minions no matter how big the stats to only 3/3, creating favorable conditions for allied minions to destroy (eg. e.g. The Lich King or Soggoth the Slitherer). Overall, with the ability to overcome the biggest obstacles, buff allied monsters, and have a fairly reasonable price of 6 mana, Tarim is the ultimate tool to be able to handle most difficult situations. Remember, without additional damage, it takes 3 enemy minions to kill Tarim!

With great improvisation when it comes to attack or defense, Tarim will obviously still be on this list for a long time to come, even into 2019.

2: Shadowreaper Anduin

If he’s second, everyone knows who the first is, with Archmage Antonidas and Alexstrasza both out of the top 20, Shadowreaper Anduin and Raza the Chained deserve the title of Hearthstone’s “perfect couple” .

Raza is the loader for Anduin’s machine gun, which as mentioned can handle anything an opponent throws on a table or burns an opponent’s face in a single note. When the Priest player has enough combos in hand (usually at least Prophet Velen and Mind Blast, maybe a few more 1 or 0 mana spells), only decks that have armor or Ice Block can survive. survived a Priest’s shelling. Just one. Two not sure.

Anduin ranks much higher than Raza, which is because in terms of playing only one card, Anduin is a much better choice. Anduin’s Battlecry effect can clear the table with many large monsters, and Hero Power dealing 2 damage is not weak either.

If Anduin was alone without Raza, he would be much weaker, but he can still play in Big Priest and works quite well. Either way, unless it’s nerfed, at least there’s still a year and a half to go, and this pair will continue to storm the room n… err in the Hearthstone meta.

1: Patches the Pirate

When he first appeared, everyone laughed at this pirate, and then all gasped as Patches alone brought aggro decks to a new level. Patches the Pirate is almost an integral part of any aggro deck (except for Murloc Paladin probably), and many players now consider it to be too strong a Legendary.

If Patches is still a regular presence in the meta, why don’t players complain more about it? Patches don’t jump out of the deck and smack you in the face for 15 damage (actually yes, watch Toast’s video for 7 15/15) but just a Stonetusk Boar with a special effect that can be summoned from in decks. What’s worth mentioning about him, is that you play a 1-mana card, summoning 2 minions to the table, including one with Charge, which is indeed a very powerful start to a match.

Why is Alleycat not playing more? If you mention this cat, you probably know it’s present in nearly every Hunter deck, and usually turn 1 Alleycat turn 2 Scavenging Hyena is extremely difficult. Patches is only a 1/1 Pirate, but it synergy effectively with N’Zoth’s First Mate or Southsea Captain, not to mention having Charge makes it easy to create value trade with Dire Wolf Alpha or Flametongue Totem. All of the above strengths plus a bit of thinning of the deck and increased top deck ability keep Patches at the top of the meta.
