I got call of the wild as well  I love it.
Grats on Ragnaros.  He is gotta make you happy
I will wait with the crafting until I have opened all the quest packs as well.
EDIT: Early thoughts I think C'thun decks are too slow.. Only met warriors who could defeat with them.

28 packs later and these are the best ones... so sad.. but I got a golden shadowcaster and master of evolutions.
I got a golden Shadow Chaser as well. Other than that my luck sucks.
15 packs. 0 Legends, 5 Epics and 15 Rares
Sadly my other Epics suck, Forbidden Ancient, Embrace the Shadow, Eternal Sentinel, Renounce the Darkness.

Not that happy about the opening of my 30 packs.
Got a Yogg-Saron (it figures, cause I hate this card...), so I'm pretty salty cause I wanted a Legendary that I would use... sigh.
I didn't expect much but I wanted to at least get some more decent cards that I'll use. I've got Vilefin Inquisitor, Embrace the Darkness, Ancient Harbringer so Epics I won't rather use. Missed some good Rares like Infested Wolf, Thing from Below or Journey Below. At least I've got one Evolution Master
On the bright side, I also got a Shadowcaster (what is with this card every one of us got her), so I won't have to waste 400 dust for her Her and Evo are probably the only cards I'm happy about after the openings.
Hmm, If I wait a bit I'll have enough dust for 4 Legendaries. What to do, what to do...

The game is trolling you so hard it is insane, lol, the one card you said you absolutely hate. Not because it is weak (well it is imho) but because it is RNG multiplied with RNG. Which is just RNG hell. I hated Implosion for that same reason, it could make or break your game literally. But this is so much worse.
You did get a Legendary though, from 30 packs I had 2 friends who got none. Such bad luck :S
I have no idea what Legendaries to craft. They all seem so "limited", so that I can only use them in a deck or two. Hallazeal is off the list because I don't have a single Elemental Destruction. Explains why I don't play Shaman :S

Well, I crafted N'Zoth and Staghelm so far. In N'Zoths case I'm still in the making-of phase of a Deathrattle Priest deck, but it's harder then I thought. Building a whole deck with Deathrattle minions will make it underwhelming, so compromises must be made. In case of Staghelm, even if he turns out to be bad, I ultimately crafted him after playing him in todays Brawl. His voice-over and card effcts are so cool I couldn't help myself 
But it is as you say Minion, when it comes to deck building suddenly there's just not enough slots to use all cards so the choices are limited (it's the same case with Legendaries and building decks around them). You might wanna put some new and experimental cards in, but there are still staple cards that must be included to make a deck at least moderately competetive, cause your opponents won't have any remorse...
Btw that dust for a fourth Legendary opened new opportunities for me and made it even harder to choose. I really don't know what to do. I'm closest to crafting Volzaj but his 6 mana slot makes him a bit troublesome. There are already so many good 6 mana cards in a Priest deck that putting another one will make the deck too slow. Hallzeal is nice but he's basically useful only with Elemental Destruction so his not that big of a deal. And there's Emperor. A good card but I don't know if I will be playing C'Thun decks. And what about Deathwing? So slow, but his the king of Dragons! ARGH!

U have that sweet spot for Druids always and ever And hahaha it seems we have ended up on the same Legendaries as I am contemplating on the exact same cards at the moment. The order is different though but all the ones you mentioned are what I am also thinking. My first priority is always in "can I play him/her enough", that is why I crafted Dr. Boom as my first Legendary in GvG. I wanna see the cards I "buy" in play and he was so definitely gonna see play because he was OP. And I have the competitive nature in me also.
N'Zoth will very likely be my next but as for after that I actually am thinking back to the classic set and Cairne. I mentioned him earlier and I'd rather craft newer cards but he is just better than Herald V inmo so I am torn :S

I am surpriced to hear that you didn't open that many legendaries? I opened 3 and a lot of epics (not all useful, but still).
I crafted everything you needed for the Blizz made Hunter-nzoth deck. It is average N'zoth is slow imo - yes he fills your board, but if you dont have control over the game at that point, he is useless. I do not think Yogg Saron is that bad again, he is loads of fun, but yeah yeah Random random random. I want him none the less
What I enjoy the most is the new shaman cards! Oh dear lord. I dont have the legendary, but I do just fine without. I believe I will be playing Shaman a lot.

What was your third Legendary? I don't believe you mentioned it...
So, I decided to craft Twin Emperor Vek'lor, cause his called by many to the best Legendary in the set. I figured I needed him if I wanted to play C'Thun effectively. So far I quite enjoy the card and C'Thun Priest in general...
Meanwhile in Wild, there's still a lot of Secret Paladins. Thanks for "nerfing" the card Blizzard...

I am not touching Wild with a 10 foot pole before Dr 6 is nerfed. I am faring terribly in Standard though, I lose all the time xD But I don't know how to pilot Paladin or Shaman, so that is my excuse (playing those two lately)

I have Princess Huhuran, Xaril, Poisoned Mind, N'zoth and C'thun.
I also believe the Twin emperor to be an auto include. He is just painful, and since it is so easy to get C'thun to 10/10 he is a menace..
@Minion - Try and make the Blizz-standard deck for Shaman. It works great. I changed a few cards because I didnt have the suggested, but it is basically just an aggro deck .. Go for the face. Works like a charm. My Hunter N'zoth is average and my rogue N'zoth is average as well.

I hope you crafted her cause if not your one lucky basterd Hunter Main and you already have her and Call of the Wild! I had really bad luck with Hunter, I didn't get Infested Wolf, Infest or even Stalker. A lot of time will pass until I get a chance to play Deathrattle Hunter. Gah!

Yeah, even easier then I thought. Basically two Beckoners or that 4/2 with Divine Shield and your good to go.

I was struggling with Face Shaman in Standard to get packs. Lack of Crackle hit it very hard, cause it was good burst, and won me a ton of matches before WotoG. Of course that is until you get that 7/7 for 4 mana and Master of Evolution
I only modified my Raptor Rouge slightly by adding N'Zoth for instance, but I'm yet to even get him in hand Shadowcaster is a lot more useful, didn't think of copying Belcher with her before I actually tested it in the field (I play in Wild). I'm yet to create a dedicated N'Zoth deck.
@Minion- my friend got Volazj in a pack and so far he only confirmed what I feared: it's too slow. Gonna have to wait to see how the card turns out, maybe he'll work better with N'Zoth, my friend does not have him.
EDIT: Finally made that N'Zoth Priest deck and it's ton of fun. Faced an N'Zoth Hunter. We both played him but I had the upper hand (more minions an played first). It turns out his strenght are smaller minions (great combo with N'Zoth spawn with full board). Additionaly I've got Huhuran from Shade (new Priest card) and used her on Boom Bot Opponent only spawned "I will hunt you down!".

Yeah. I opened Nat the darkfisher in gold, and I traded him for Huhuran and N'zoth. And I got Call of the wild. The rest I actually crafted (or well not infest, yet) But my hunter collection is pretty solid.

Exactly! Way too easy if you ask me. If I had been Blizzard I might have changed Twin Emperor to maybe.. when C'thun is 14-16?

Oh the 7/7 (Flamewreathed Faceless) is a behemoth! Yes he overloads with 2 and slows down your curve, but you can bounce back tenfold because of the dmg he posseses I highly recommend playing shaman.

Good idea. Maybe I should make my raptor rogue standardish.
I had a game with my N'zoth where I used shadowccaster on him, and just had that extra N'zoth in my hand just in case. It felt really good.

Guys, the dream happened Was playing C'Thun Priest vs Zoo Warlock, and for some reason he didn't kill off my Brann (and he had a lot of critters, I managed to reduce them afterwards with Tentacle of N'Zoth which I got from Museum Curator). It was turn 6 and Twin Emperor was in my hand. He struggled but even with full health, PO and a Doomguard he just couldn't break through 3 Taunts (though I had some removals to be honest). This is how control vs aggro should work And I once again can confirm, Embrace the Shadow + CoH is OP. A turn 2 counter for Zoo, nothing can beat that, and it does not have the "can't heal afterwards" backslash of Auchenai...
So many fun decks to play now! C'Thun Priest, N'Zoth Priest, Staghelm Beast Druid and modified Raptor Rouge & Totem Shaman. This is what I call fresh . Unfortunately I almost don't have any class C'Thun cards so I can try C'Thun in different decks...
So far I'm very pleased with all my crafted Legendaries, but I still wonder what should be the fourth one. I'm leaning towards Dragonlord from lack of better ideas...
PS: I remeber defeating a Hunter after he Freeze Trapped my T-Emperor. That's another way to multiply him aside of Brann

26 Packs and still no Legend for me.
26 packs. 0 Legends, 6 Epics and 27 Rares
God I so want Twin but feel I shouldn't craft until I open at least 1 Legend because I just know it will give me a 2nd of the one I craft.
UPDATE - Just opened my 30th pack and still no legends. 7 Epics and 30 rare total so far but damn it I am not so annoyed.
PS I should mention that 17/30 of the packs are from Arena runs. Sigh in the 17 runs so far I have averaged a 3.3 win record  . I used to avg 5-6 I have really started sucking badly.

This game is trying it's best to take away all my fun from it...
Whenever I try to play a N'Zoth deck I always(!) face another N'Zoth deck (be it Hunter or Priest) so if opponent manages to play him earlier the 'shock' effect is useless... same with C'Thun
When I play some experimental decks, I face the new buffed up Shaman who stomps me into the ground with his massive 7/7 tempo plays...
Got a Druid dialy and had to work on it for like 4 hours! I think the Staghelm deck is quite good (if not it's at least fun) but with opponents top-decking all over the place it's frustrating as hell to play it (Mages with their usual Frostbolt this, Fireball that antics, or AoE removals just when I have a buffed up board, yes Flamestrike is having it's glorious return). Even in the effin Tavern Brawl my opponents managed to topdeck something each time I was ahead.
Yesterday and today morning the game is like telling me to go f*ck myself, but I won't be derailed that easily
I'm wondering if I should craft some Rares. Hate the concept, but seeing how my luck goes it will take forever to get them through packs...
EDIT: Oh and I created a Rouge Yogg deck cause basically Rouge is the best class to spam cheap spells. The deck is good on it's own and usually I don't want play Yogg cause I'm ahead and don't wanna turn the tables against me. That's the 'charm' of this card

I will agree with you on the shock effect of the old gods. They are not that wauw anymore, and I almost give up when a C'thun +15 is played..
But the fun has not been taken away from me. I am so excited about this expansion. I too need a lot of rares and epics for the decks to really shine, and I have thought about crafting them. Sadly I need more legendaries to complete most of the C'thun decks, and I really wanna try a Yogg deck, but I have no mage legendaries. A Yogg-Rogue could be quite fun to tr out.

Isn't there supposed to be a so called "pity" timer on the number of packs you open before you get a Legend? Anyone know what the number is supposed to be?

From what I've read it is set on something around 39, so the 40th pack is a guaranteed Legendary. I can confirm it from my personal expierience cause that is the longest I've ever waited for an L. Oh, and from what I remember you get an Epic after up to ten packs.
@Emilsn91: Actually I do enjoy the game, I only had this bad streak yesterday, but now it's ok-ish. There are some cancer decks still present (mostly the enchanced Aggro Shaman), but I enjoy that the expierience is much more varied now, because what I hated the most was encountering the same ol' decks over and over again before WotoG.
I don't have problems with C'Thun decks. My opponents usually don't draft him, but when they do you got to make sure there are enough minions to soak up the dmg If your playing Priest that's ideal cause removing C'Thun is no biggie (it costs you 3 mana to be exact ).
About Yogg. That Rouge deck which I made (it is based on Kiblers deck, and what is interesting is that it basically uses Classic cards so it's avaible for Standard) is more fun then I expected it to be, cause it's good on it's own, and Yogg is just there if you actually don't have anything else to play. He might win you the game even, and it's an interesting deck concept to play as many spells as you can before he hits. I didn't know it could be that enjoyable. He will ultimately end up in the drawer probably, but he at least gives me some fun atm, which at the end of the day is what it comes down to...

EvilLoynis.. bad luck man! Bad luck!!
Good good.. and you are right the decks atm are very different and there are not that much netdecking (YET!)
I'll check out his Yogg deck. I just do not know if I should craft Yogg or not.. You know .. what to craft is the question atm.. I have my hunter all planned out, I have a rogue, but what is next?
two things: I really think the new board is lazy. I would wish they had made both Stormwind and orgrimmar slimy instead of just one boring board..
I just reached my first ever rank 10. My highest ranking so far. I guess it is all due to a random meta and that I am getting better at playing this.

If you want my honest opinion, don't craft him. His by no means a competetive card. He might be fun for a while, by find I myself not playing him usually cause when I'm winning I wanna keep it that way (gold grind is gold grind afterall ), and when I did use him in situations when I was loosing he didn't help me very much, just prolonged my life at best Well if you're not that oriented on winning and want him for gimmicky reasons you can still craft him I got him for free and wanted to utilize him so why not have some fun?

I don't think it's worth it. Additional 100 gold and a lot more salt to digest... well it's not that I didn't try, but when I'm past rank 15 and start to loose stars I don't wanna risk loosing that 15...
BTW I'm holding to that dust and still don't know what to craft. I would really like to play N'Zoth/Deathrattle Hunter, but I miss so many cards for this deck...
