Dragonkin Sorcerer; I keep getting insta-concedes when I bulk him with bananas, even the damage banana is good on him.

This weeks tavern brawl is a lot more interesting.  It's basically constructed with a twist

Its a big twist I think. Cards like antonidas and Gazlow and flamewaker will go crazy. I have no doubt mage will be the strongest class in this Brawl.

I think the big winner is Haunted Creeper. It gets you 3 bananas, and gives a sticky target to use them on.

Yeah, Creeper is in every deck. Flamewaker is a big winner too, and of course Mana Wyrm.

I'd keep him just to eventually achieve the one of everything achievement. I mean, I can't imagine getting to the bottom of the barrel and having to craft Hemet to get the achievement.

I was so excited to open a legendary last month and it was Hemet. It's possible that at some point in the future there will be some neutral Beast that everyone runs. That's the only reason I keep him.

Harrison Jones is one of those cards that your opponent has when you've just played Doomhammer

This is the second time I've had an opponent play Harrison Jones against me, and this is the second time I had a Doomhammer at 6 durability when it happened.

Jones seems to be in almost every deck once you get past about about rank 15 these days. Probably because it's great against most Hunter, Warrior, Paladin and Warlock decks that get run these days. Really good tech card right now (Doomhammer might not be ideal in the current meta).

Finally got round to crafting two Highmanes and took a midrange Hunter straight from 19 to 11.  That was disturbingly effective.

I've got 1600 dust. I'm missing Sylvanas, The Black Knight, Ragnaros, Sneed's Old Shredder, Alextrasza, Malygos, Bloodmage Thalnos (+ a lot of crappy legendaries) and all of the relevant class legendaries except for Grommash. I think I should craft Rag, but does someone disagree?

It depends what kind of deck you want to play. If you really hope to play a control deck, then maybe Rag can work out. However decks tend to lean heavily towards aggro, tempo, and stickiness. Rag might be right for you if you're really hoping to play a big control deck, but Sylvanas is more versatile and has a place in many more kinds of decks, including control.

If you're playing a bursty or freeze Mage, you may even want Alexstrasza.

I already have two fast aggro decks (Paladin and Shaman), one mid-range deck (Hunter) and one control deck (Warrior). I mostly want a card that helps me build competitive decks for the other classes, too, regardless of the deck type.

Well, I don't play competitive enough to know what the top competitive decks are like, so I can't recommend the best Legendary for you. But still, Sylvanas fits well in pretty much any midrange deck. Specific combo decks might want Malygos, but I don't know how good those are these days.

Sylvanas. She is used in priest, druid, warlock (both hand and zoo). Rag actually is usually played in fast decks that are not that care about control, like mech shaman

Sylvanas is easily the most versatile legendary on your list, followed by Rag, Alex and Thalnos in no particular order.  I'm not crafting legendaries right now, but if I were I'd take Sylvanas.

I think Rag > Thalnos > Alex. Though Thalnos is much more rare lately, used mostly by rogues and freeze mages. Alex is used in control warrior and freeze mages - that's basically it

I'd also say Sylvanas, I crafted Sylvanas after Boom and haven't regretted it (I'm not feeling like Ragnaros is as useful as often as either of them).

Thalnos is a pretty good one just because it's a versatile card that can fill various roles in various decks. A big improvement on a Geomancer if you want Spell Damage. I think the Black Knight is kindof underrated these days, I never see it, but almost every deck runs taunters. I'm considering crafting it next (but am 1200 dust away from crafting a Legendary right now).

The other cards on your list (even Rag) seem like they'd be best if you have a deck in mind that needs them.

I've decided not to craft anything unless I need it. Thus I've amassed enough dust to craft a couple legendaries whenever I want. This will be great if the next GvG/Boom type of expansion comes along before I've burned it.

I should disclaim that I already have Rag, Sylvanas, Boom, Grommash, Antonidas, etc; the only one of which I actually crafted was Boom.
If I were forced to craft one now it would probably be Fordring or Ysera and maybe Thalnos but I see no pressing need for them.
Boom is the requisite legendary.

Sylvannas is very versatile. Rag is not. The best legendaries are the class ones, like Tirion, Grommash and Antonidas, but then you can only play 1 class. Thalnos is nice to have, but feels like a lot of dust for what you get. I have all of them and Sylvannas has gotten the most play besides legends from the adventures.

I've been playing a decent amount this month, and I'm seeing basically nothing other than Hunter, Warrior, and Warlock on the ladder. There's a bit of Priest and Druid, but it's been forever since I've seen the other classes. Definitely surprised by the complete lack of mage past rank 10 or so.

I've taken Rogue past 10 a few times this season. I've been trying a bunch of new experiments since the meta is so stale which means I plummet then engage a meta deck and skyrocket back up.

I've been playing a lot lately. I've got passed 10 for the past few seasons. Haven't tried to seriously grind to legend yet.

And there comes number 4, this is getting ridiculous.
