Very unhappy with pack openings.
Opened 28, got one Legendary: Archbishop Benedictus which I won't be using probably. And he was the 'guaranteed' Legendary. Valeera DK I got from Prologue mission, and I wasn't a fan of her. But maybe I'll use her one way or another...
Aside from that 6 Epics, from which only Drakkari Enchantress will be usable I think and maybe Paladins Blackguard. Also got a lot of duplicates which makes me think that something is rigged like players said (a lot of people are reporting getting tons of duplicates)
Sigh, I feel this will be a weak expansion for me, but guess it's how it is with me, Un'Goro was really lucky, and that was after a 'weak' Gadgetzan.
PS: Probably will craft Arthas, I'm wondering what should be my other two Legendaries: Uther DK, Sindragosa or maybe Jaina DK (she is reportedly strong). Warlock DK is also pretty popular. Decisions, decisions...

On whether or not it is rigged. From my pre-orderen 50 packs I got ALL my legendaries.
I bought with gold 20 packs and got 0 legendaries. So I get your suspicion. 
I highly recommend both Bolvar and Uther to be honest. Bolvar is better than I expected.
I tried out freeze shaman. I used the deck recipe. It sucks. Too difficult to pull of combos when Morabi is a 6 mana drop..
I have faced a DK-druid which was pretty cool. It is a pretty decent and good all around card! Also DK-Shaman is pretty solid. He spiraled out of control for me

I haven't yet seen a decent use of Valeera against me, only encountered Deathrattle Rogue and I think Valeera DK is better suited in a spell heavy deck that resurrects the plant (lol I forgot it's name ) and with Arcane Giants! Infinite army of Giants is scary...
Lich King is in every single deck I have encountered and that I play myself lol. The hype might vane out eventually but you can't go too wrong with a solid neutral legendary...

Valeera sucks big time. Control Rouge will probably never happen, maybe I'll try some Deathrattle decks, but I guess they'll only in Wild. Thing is that I just realized I don't like to play Rouge. Really salty with the DK I got, I have absolutely no idea how to make her work... I would make a deck with every other DK, but no, I got the only one that does not work for me. Sigh.
Guess I'll wait when somebody brews a solid deck with her... but I will go as far as to say she's actually the worst DK of the set cause you need to build a deck specifically for her, whereas other DK's can be used to enchance a deck. Maybe the Arcane Giant deck will be good...

I'd rather have Rogue than Hunter but yeah I understand how you feel. The DK:s are definitely the essence of this expansion so as you I'd craft one or two asap that you can play with.
Just don't be unlucky like me, in last three games my DK was in the last 7 cards of my deck

So guys, can you suggest which DK to craft?
My top 3 picks are:
- Uther DK as an good allround DK that fits into many Paladin decks
- Jaina DK for my Elemental Mage and as a late game tool for almost every Mage deck
- Guldan DK cause Demon Warlock seems really strong with it (plus this new 4/5 Dreadlord looks like an Aggro killer)
I'm asking cause maybe you guys have expierience in meeting them.

It's too early to say what's craft worthy don't you think?
On my end I can't wait to try DK Valeera, seems like a lot of fun in a jade or a thief deck.

I have really bad expierience with it but maybe I either don't know how to play Rouge or there's still a deck out there to be tailor-made for her...
Oh yeah, I crafted The Lich King but that's not surprising
And man veco, getting 6 Legendaries from 52 pack is 'Epic' in itself.

To be honest that was the first time I had a really big Bolvar. Our match up went totally in my favour. I have yet to try a match similar.

I agree. Rouge is one of my least favorite classes. The only type I like to play is Raptor Rouge. But I still think Valeera can be good. We just need to see the combodeck that can utilize her ability just right.

OH!!! YOU LUCKY snow
@Blob right of the top of my mind. Craft Uther. Might be calling it too soon as I have yet to use him as that end game card, but he just seems to fit into a lot of different paladin decks.

To be fair I rarely venture beyond rank 15 but a do get there with thief/jade rogue and steal priest. Quest mage seems too hard for me to pull off consistently but I still like playing the deck at the rank 15 floor.
So if you're looking for something more competetive I'm not the one to answer
I'm not so sure about Uther to be honest - DK druid, warlock, warrior, priest, and mage would seem to have a very easy time countering the hero power..
...which is kinda boring anyway

Quest Mage is actually a really fun deck that's suprisingly easy to pull off (not easy to play mind you ). Stall, stall, Ice Block and bam: extra turn + Arcane Golem x3 or more (with Molten Reflection).

Like I said before the strenght of the card lies in the weapon and 2/2 instead of 1/1 tokens imo, not becuse of the 'almost-impossible-to-pull-off-insta-kill. But yeah he might not be that must-craftish afterall. Emil play him some more and tell me how he fares
Currently I'm thinking about Dragon Mage. Full Wild with Coldarra Drake and other stuff. I would SO like to craft Sindragossa but I'm afraid she's a type of card that will be one of those 'does not work so won't be played much' type of cards. Yeah I know I said she's very good and I still think she is but I'm not sitting on dust you know... not like my friend who has 29k dust cause he had the 'won't craft cause might get duplicate' philosophies, but now now it's no longer valid ofc

Of the Legendarys I got only Garrosh and Rexxar, as of now.
But, I've got to say that Rexxar is just amazing. I'm running him in a secret Hunter now and he (or rather his heropower) keeps winning me match after match. You can not run out of steam with him! So, you can play quite aggressiv early on and do not have to think about draw as long as you get him. Great fun!
Garrosh, I used only once now in a ridiculous variation of my Patron Warrior I made for the last now available mission. I've got to say that those were really enjoyable. Although, not that much harder than missions were before. The prologue was actually hilarious. I felt my thoughts so mirrored when I drew that Magma Rager and Jaine was like "You must be kidding me!"

Update on Uther. You can run decks without him. I have yet to feel his power. I at this time of the meta declare nice to have, not need to have.
I meet so many jade druids at the moment. Annoys me. And damn that Malfurion DK is badass!
The new adventure was so fun, but not that difficult again. Of course you had to make a new deck for each boss, but well.. I loved the healing+dragon boss except that they bypassed the dragon when it had taunt?! Making the battle pretty easy actually.

I've beat Marowgarr with my Murloc Quest Shaman (you can buff Murlocs a lot), Saurfang with Pirate Warrior which I netdecked (cus Weapons) and Lady Deathwishper with my Aggro DS Paladin (cause tokens don't loose much with her Hero Power). I ignored the Dragon. All three bosses in first tries but I was pretty lucky with Saurfang as I topdecked Arcanite Reaper for lethal. That's that I guess.
It's not like me, but I suppose I'll wait with crafting Legendaries, all seem to be pretty much win more cards, aside from Warlock and Druid DK's maybe. Crafted Obsidian Statue instead for a my Deatrattle/Reno Priest. It's badass looking, but supposedly very good control card also. If it's killed off, which is not so easy, you can follow with N'Zoth making your opponents cry in tears
EDIT: Found a deck for Valeera DK. Somewhat. It's a Mill deck and I hate Mill, but because the deck targets for late game she's useful there as a fuel engine. The variant I'm using is based on N'Zoth + Taunts. It's w Wild deck. I won't be playing it much but at least it's something...
EDIT 2: Dang, Deathrattle Priest is so strong with Lich King and Eternal Servitude right now (you can resurrect Lich King for instance)...
...had a great Priest vs Priest match with my friend. We went full fatigue, additionally each of us had Elise Un'Goro pack x 2 (had 2x Golden Kalimos ) cause RNG . We fought for over 40 minutes, hands empty, and he won only because he had Priest DK. It really is strong with Raza, when I first saw the card I didn't notice the hero power refreshes each time a spell is played. It's exceptionally good in fatigue matches. At this point I'm really considering crafting it, but problem is I don't play Priest this much, although I do enjoy the class atm. I'm playing a lot of Dragon/Spell Priest and Reno/Deathrattle Priest so it might justify crafting him. Btw ressurecting Obsidian Statue is also strong, especially the fact it destroys a random minion. If it only had 9 Health...

I just had a game of DK Mage vs DK Nzoth Priest.
I went 9 into fatigue and still won, I must've healed about 100 health that game, half of which was my discovered Anomalus into his Nzoth turn
and after that Pyros and Baron Geddon sustaining me through his Deathwing.
He did some grave mistakes that let me win though - he didn't ping his 1hp minions while he had the chance and we were both almost out of cards allowing me to spawn water ellies for free

@veco
Sooo... does that mean you recommend getting Jaina DK?
She is good in Elemental decks cause she synergizes with all of their dmg dealing effects. Don't have Geddon for the sweet healing combo though...
EDIT: WTF, Blizzard nerfs Dreadsteed cause of Defile... then what about Grim Patron taking a few minutes to 'trigger' with the spell :/

There is a difference between an infinite combo that crashes the entire game and a one that takes half of a turn because of the animations. It can't be considered a nerf imho because there was no proper use for the instant ability trigger really anyways.
Btw Defile can make amazing board clears I managed to clear a board with up t 7 HP and that is just sick! My opponent naturally didn't play around it so it was his fault but dangit it felt good

Yeah, I know the technical reason behind it, but do you remember Nozdromu exploit? The one which made opponents loose their turn? I wonder if it can be exploited the same way (although the reason behind Nozdromu exploit was the 15s turn effect). Whatever...

I can't tell you how viable she is but she is definetly fun and makes your health swing up and down like nobody's business which gives you time to do your cool mage shenanigans.
Or try to win maybe but I find it hard to make room for a finishing combo - you still need tons of help vs aggro. I will make quest work with her one day
