I'm semi-salty cause as far as I remember my first pack openings of new expansions have always been rather 'uninspiring'. I'm sure there will come a better time

I already posted my salt on he previous page, around 50 packs in and still only two crummy legendaries and 6 epics that I'm not interested in. That doesn't matter though, what about the tournament?

OK, give us a heads up a few days ahead when you'll know something I must reserve some time.
Btw below are some cards I've been using often so far. Not OP, I simply think those are even more useful then I thought initally:
- Smugglers Run, Grimscale Chum, Grimestreet Outfitter and Blowgill Sniper - cheap and effective cards in my Murloc Pala deck. They make for a dangerous snowballing effect, plus I think this enchances the thing Murloc deck are lacking - Murloc survivability. A 4/4 Warleader or 5/6 M Knight are not that easy to remove
- Stolen Goods - a card that was disregarded by Kripp, but I think it's actually pretty strong. Although in Taunt decks, so something that is not considered strong, but still (plus people are experimenting with them nowadays so maybe good times will come to them). Imo Taunt Warrior decks are not about early plays. In exchange for 'loosing' a turn you prepare a stronger minion. Especially good with Alley Armorsmith (a guy used her on me with this, got 15 armor until I've removed her) and Public Defender. Given that Taunts already have high HP, it's their attack boost that makes this card so useful.
- Public Defender - speaking of which also useful in Taunt Warrior. Buys you time and is a likely target for either Stolen Goods or Bolster.
- Big-Time Racketeer - I'm mainly using him in Battlecry decks when I have Battlecry quests so it's not much of an evaluation, just wanted to say I misinterpreted his ability, cause I thought it was a Deathrattle. So it's actually not a tempo loss (7/7 for 6 mana) and it can be used in tandem with Brann (plus the 'weak one' still can be boosted with Goon cards).
Unfortunately I'm having a bit weak pack openings, and there are a few Rare's I really wanna try, but I'll have to wait for them.

Okay.. so I would like add on to what you are saying with one simple line: Grimy Goons are better than I thought. And I think that the whole potion-thing that Warlocks, Priests and mages got is not as awesome as the other two.
Atm I am only able to put together a decent hunter deck with Gadgetzan cards..
EDIT:
We need to discuss this again. Should I craft Bloodmage Thalnos and/or Leeroy Jenkins?!
These two guys are everywhere.. I just do not wanna use 1600dust on a 1 drop ..

Thalnos is one I want to craft myself even before Ysera and Malygos because of it's versatility. Spellpower and draw are both very attractive effects especially if you enjoy playing rogue and reno decks (which I do). On the other hand I have Leroy and pretty much never use it - mostly because in my opinion charging up a buffed minion to end gets old very quickly. That's just me though.

These two guys I got from packs. If you like aggro decks, Leeroy is better. If you like control or spell burst/combo decks then Thalnos. Both are useful imo but I suppose Thalnos is more versatile. But let me ask you this, don't you have other, maybe better cards to craft?

Thalnos and Leeroy seem like rather specific crafts. They are most certainly not run "everywhere" they always fullfil a very specific role in any deck they are run.
The exception is Thalnos in midrange and standard rogue decks where it's literally nothing more than a 2 mana spellpower minion that cantrips. That's great value but I feel an upgrade of the candle kobold is hardly worth 1600 Dust! That is if that'd all he'd be in the decks you play. I feel like Thalnos is very much a "luxury" legendary.
The same really applies to Leeroy other than for the 20 damage burst in renolocks or as a finisher in any heavy aggro deck there really is no place for him. If you wanna use him for that, sweet do it otherwise he's just gonna sit in your collection.
I'm defintly with Blob here there are probably better options to spend your limited dust supply on. Unless you have an urgent need for either of those two.
And about the tournament, look guys I'm really sorry but I'm driving home for the holidays come monday and my days till then a crammed tight with stuff I still have to do so I won't find time to do anything. Guess we'll just have it in the new year. Again I'm sorry but I simply don't have the time. If you guys want to have it sooner obviously that is fine too, I just can't organize it until I come back  .

After some 30 packs I got my first Legendary - Genzo, The Shark. xD FML. I don't wanna dust it but I can't think of where it would work.
I crafted Kazakus as my first Legendary and I just love it. Darn Shamans are starting to rain on my parade though, I had no problem against Pirate Warrior but this new Shaman aggro with Jade package is very strong against my Renolock :S

Kazakus is the first craft on my list, together with Aya probably. I'll spend the rest on Dirty Rat maybe, and what's left will be an advance payment for Raza I think. And that's probably it, I don't have any more cards on my wishlist
I'm still waiting for my second Legendary from a pack and I'm still getting s*it from packs (yesterday for the first time in like half a year I didn't get an Epic under 8 packs, I even thought pity timer is set on 8, but it appears it's 10 actually). Guess it's karma for my lucky WotOG pack openings...
And don't sweat it @Abbadon, we'll wait. Like emil said, maybe we'll have more useful Gadgetzan cards by then

Well, I haven't opened many packs yet, but I still got my first Gadgestan-Legendary the other day.
It's Auctionmaster Beardo. I think he has insane synergie with Raza the Unchained, but else I really have no idea what to do with him.

Kazakus sounds nice and I would love to craft him as well. Sadly I do not believe I have the right reno-cards to make sustainable decks with him.
Jade decks are fun, but again I miss a lot of the core cards atm.
If I dust my none-golden Ragnaros I actually have dust enough for two legendaries
That beardo dude, dust him

Nice, got Kun (Druid Legendary) from a pack, so better then expected, one of teh better ones in MSoG I think. We'll see how good he is, there was a lot of hype pre-release, guess he was pushed back outside the spectrum when the expansion hit (I didn't see him even once since).
I of course crafted Kazakus and Aya afterwards (and Dirty Rat as promised ). I don't care if I get them from packs as doubles at this point, I'm really happy I'm finally able to try them out.
EDIT: After some playing I can tell Kun is pretty solid. I'm currently using him in Jade Druid, and he works as a sort of comeback mechanic, especially when played with Ancient of War. Not a game changing card, but useful. When it comes to tri-class Legends so far Aya is definately the more useful one from the two that I crafted.

Grats!
The Kun + Aviana combo is insane. You guys witnessed it?! It is ridiculous. Kun was one of those cards I thought wouldn't be that useful, but he is pretty versitile.
Aya is just great. I really would love to craft her, but again I want to craft both Kazakus and Don HanCho..

Hmm, I didn't see this combo personally, but it was widely suggested pre-release. I've played Aviana Ramp deck before and it wasn't that succesful, so I would say it's more of a fun deck. I might be wrong though and will probably re-try it with Kun at some point.

I saw this combo and lol it is insane. It is an OTK with Aviana + Kun + Bran + CThun for some kazillion damage.
Dirty Rat has a sweet chance of completely destroying this deck though

So I tried the Aviana + Kun deck, with the C'Thun variant (I think Malygos version is less effective), that you guys mentioned. While I think it mostly struggles, when the combo actually clicks it's really satisfying. In one match I managed to dump my hand after playing Aviana + Kun, used Brewmaster to re-summon Kun to armor up (was on 3HP ) and then topdecked a 19/19 C'Thun. Not exactly an OTK but, he didn't find an answer for him and lost next turn.
