Best Kobolds and Catacombs Legendary Cards to Craft

Hearthstone isn’t cheap, and with 22 more legendaries coming in the Kobolds and Catacombs expansion we need to be smart where we spend our dust if we want to make as many competitive decks as possible.

The META is almost impossible to predict, but there are always some cards that are obviously very powerful and you will need them to keep competitive.

Here are the best Kobolds and Catacombs legendary cards to craft with your dust if you aren’t lucky enough to rip them from packs:

Best Kobolds and Catacombs Legendary Cards to Craft

Neutral Legendaries to Craft

Master Oakheart

The only neutral legendary worth sparing the dust for this expansion is Master Oakheart.

We can’t predict exactly what decks he will fit into yet. The statline and battlecry is good value for the cost so it’ll work in some decks.

But if you’re short on dust there are more important class-specific cards below.

Class Legendaries to Craft

Woecleaver – Warrior

The value of this card is pretty obvious. Shape your deck with large taunts and defensive cards and Woecleaver can pull you from behind or close out a game.

Well worth crafting if you enjoy playing warrior, this card will see play in a new archetype of big warrior.

Grumble, World Shaker

A lot of the pro’s are hyped about Grumble, Worldshaker, and that’s because it’s battlecry is nuts.

You get to replay all your battlecry minions at full health again for 1-mana each.

A very strong card, the best Shaman has to offer, but not as good as what some of the other classes got, unfortunately.

Kathrena Winterwisp

Hunter is going to be a lot stronger in the Kobolds and Catacombs era, and Kathrena Winterwisp will be a staple in all beast/big Hunter builds.

A strong card on its own, and synergizes with some other cards in the set really well too.

Aluneth

Card draw is a powerful mechanic in Hearthstone, and 3 cards a turn quickly becomes insane value.

This will be an auto-include in all control mages archetypes. Weapon removal will suck, but this is well worth crafting.

Skull of the Man’ari

This weapon is going to be bonkers, mark my words.

There are some many high-value demons that you’re spoiled for choice what to play.

I predict this weapon to be meta-defining in some way.

Kingsbane

It’s hard to theory craft the deck this will fit into, but Kingsbane is clearly nutty value.

With the Cavern Shineyfinder pulling it out of your deck and retaining its buffs there are going to be some crazy things happening with this card.

Which Kobolds and Catacombs Legendaries to Dust?

As with all the Hearthstone expansions, there are some legendaries that you just don’t want to see being ripped from a pack if you’re tiring to land the good legendaries.

Some legendaries are best being disenchanted to dust as they will never see competitive play.

As a reminder, you can turn a normal legendary into 400 dust, and a golden legendary into 1,600 dust.

Here are the worst legendaries from the Kobolds and Catacombs expansion that you should dust as soon as you open them and craft some of the better cards from the set:

Which Kobolds and Catacombs Legendaries to Dust?

The Worst Kobolds and Catacombs Neutral Legendaries

Zola the Gorgon

Zola the Gorgon is under statted for its cost, and the battlecry of adding a golden copy of a friendly minion to your hand isn’t strong enough to justify putting this in many decks.

The golden part aside, it can be useful to recall certain cards with a good battlecry.

But it’s not going to find its way into enough decks to make it worth keeping.

King Togwaggle

King Togwaggle is the meme card of the set.

There are almost no situations where swapping decks with your opponent, and giving them a card to swap back is a strong play.

Dust him up and craft something playable.

The Worst Kobolds and Catacombs Class Legendaries

Ixlid, Fungal Lord

Ixlid, Fungal Lord has a powerful effect..but it’s way too slow and costs too much mana to pull off reliably.

Playing this minion on curve is too weak. Holding it later game means less mana for the following cards.

It’s not going to see play.

Lynessa Sunsorrow

The dream of buffing minions, playing the Paladin quest and then summoning Lynessa as a supremely powerful minion with all the buffs is just that… a dream.

It’s too expensive, too slow, takes too much sequential planning, and will just get silenced.

Temporus

Give your opponent two turns at your own peril!

The Runespear

Paying 8 mana for a 3 damage weapon and the potential to whiff on a spell doesn’t seem like the best use of 8 mana, does it?

How many Shaman spells are going to help late game to compensate for you spending 8 mana on this…

Dragon Soul

I think Blizzard has missed the mark on this one by a long way – at least with the cards we have available right now.

Using a slot for this card, chaining 3 spells together in a turn, and getting a 5/5 dragon as a result isn’t a game-winning play.

It’s not good for tempo, isn’t enough value for control – dust it up!

All Kobolds and Catacombs Legendary Cards

Much like The Knights of the Frozen Throne gave us a Death Knight per class, Kobolds and Catacombs is giving us a Legendary Weapon per class along with another minion.

Here is a complete list of the legendaries from the Kobolds and Catacombs expansion.
