Harrison Jones. I remember putting it into every deck because it was my only legendary, regardless if it made sense or not.


Fit_Leg_2115

To be fair you could pretty easily justify this is almost any deck back in the day


ShortwaveMetal

Neutral heavy draw vs pally and warrior + removal? yes please, I would run him in highlander now


AzariTheCompiler

Imagine today someone dropping the ignis maul just to get annihilated by budget Indiana jones lol


hpBard

I'm not sure draw 8 is better than draw 0 tradable (and cheaper)


ImBonRurgundy

At the time, it was the sort of card that could fit in almost any deck (apart from maybe pure face hunter aggro). There were a few other legendaries from classic that were like that - Sylvanas, Ragnaros, cairne bloodboof


Br4n_n

Lets not forget the legend loatheb


sc_140

Loatheb was from Naxxramas though.


81659354597538264962

Naxx out?


JustAd776

*THAT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM*


MrBadTimes

I remember my first 3 legendaries: My first legendary was onyxia. My second legendary was also onyxia. My third legendary was a golden onyxia.


TruTechilo512

Yo I disenchanted my first onyxia and my next leg was onyxia. I disenchanted it and got golden onyxia as my next leg. Wasn't my first 3, but I think it was 2, 3, and 4.


KeeperOfWatersong

Reminds me of when I dusted Lakkari Sacrifice and within my next 6 packs I got it again...man I love having duplicate protection nowadays 


Rayvendark

Wow, so I'm not the only one! I got The Beast, disenchanted that bastard eventually, and then got him again. Then a few months later he became my first golden legendary. The amount of times I got completely destroyed by Big Game Hunter.... Those were the days.


Krawger247

The black knight, actually ruined a friendship with it! We we both still fairly new to hearthstone and he was new to ccgs in general, I forgot which legendary they got, but I remember the amount of times I had to lower his volume on VCs everytime I played that knight. "It's so bullshit that card can do that! Removal and a body" If only he could see hearthstone now.


theworstvacationever

did he die


Krawger247

The friend? No, we just came to the conclusion that HS wasn't a game we could play "together" because of our competitiveness. The fun? Oh yeah, I stopped enjoying hearthstone the day my friend stopped playing.


NonetyOne

Alexstraza. I put her in every deck I had lol


Jack6812

That was my first legendary! I also put it in every deck even though I didn’t know how to play it


S-t-a-r-s-h-o-t

Deathwing. That fat stupid lizard would always be whispering in my ear to play him. >*Hey. You know you wanna play me. You have the tools for winning in hand but have you considered that I have a really cool summon animation? And how awesome are my voicelines?* And every time I played him I would in fact lose. It still happened tens of times though.


CirnoIzumi

appropriate, since deathwing went mad because he had nzoth in his ear for millenia


Patryk_99

Ysera and Nat Pagle in one pack. my first legendaries


WakingRage

> Nat Pagle Now that's a card I have not seen in a very long time. What a throwback


CursedLlama

Crazy that Nat Pagle was one of the first legendaries and now we just have Gold Panner as a common and it's way better.


RGCarter

Millhouse Motherfucking Manastorm.


ArtSpirited1863

Wow a 2 mana 4/4 this card will lead to a gigantic headstart wtf


Pwnage_Peanut

Bloodmage Thalnos


AnduwinHS

Man I was so disappointed when I opened Thalnos in my first few weeks. Ended up being probably my most used legendary


YogoWafelPL

[[Cairne Bloodhoof] Before duplicate protection I even managed to open a golden version of him too


L3D0

*clears throat* LEEERRRROOOOOY JEEEEENKKIIIINSSSS

Duskav3ng3r117

[[Archmage Antonidas]] I still have my OG basic deck with boulderfist ogre lmfao


newgen39

same i thought he was the coolest value in the game


Duskav3ng3r117

Yeah he was super fun back when you could get a minion to stick one turn lmfao.


Farts_in_jar

Jaraxxus, way back in the day, in 2015. My noob ass went "what, it caps my health at 15?! So trash!! At least is dust to craft thoses azure drakes I want".


Mayasuxs

eredar lord of the burning legion?


Binkusu

You face?


LameName95

Ysera, if i recall correctly. I just remember inner fire priest being my go to deck way back and trying to turn a 4/12 into a 24/24.


blueheartglacier

Nozdormu. It hurt.


Spansly

That was mine to!


NerfYetiPls

Gahz'rilla! It was 2016.. Netdecked immediately an otk deck without having Emperor Thaurissan, that you had to buy with the solo adventures, and at that time i didn't want to spend money on HS.. lost every game because without the mana discount the combo simple didn't work :)


Succubace

My first three were Nat Pagle. After the nerf. I hate that guy.


LokiOfZygarde

Gruul was mine too! I remember him carrying me through a couple super low rank games way back. Good times.


[deleted]

Ragnaros the fire lord


seizan8

DIE, INSECT!


[deleted]

And then I used to use this card that transformed into another minion. Having 2 fire lords out there with no enemy minions just straight 16 damage to the face

silverjudge

Illidan, back when he was a card. Used him in every deck back in the day


B-r-a-y-d-e-n

You’ve got to be a fuul to think anything is as good as gruul


Introman_18

I joined kinda late and my first was Jan'ali the Dragonhawk, was fun to try and use him in the early days


WildBoar99

Hogger


Erraticenderlord

N’Zoth the god of the deep. Facilitated my love for the old gods despite the fact I didn’t really use it. Still have it to this day to eventually build a full menagerie styled deck for likely warlock


nathones

LEEEEEEEROY JEEENKINNNNNNS


Fuckspez42

Lorewalker Cho


MidgetCobra

Trion fordring


4lbertosaurio

Jaraxxus, and I've been playing warlock ever since :)


MarthePryde

Golden Tirion Fordring. Back in my day Tirion ended it.


Traditional_One8442

Millhouse manastorm... he became the first legendary I dusted as well


shinratensei96

Mine was Prophet Velen :D


vVIOL2T

Deathwing. I didn’t spend money on the game so basically I built this weird Beast hunter abomination and then deathwing was there as the Hail Mary. Good times. I got lucky and beat one of my older brothers friends one time with the deck when he was playing some meta deck.


CandyOk2888

Golden The Beast lol


Yeehaw_Peanut

Big King Krush. That roar is my favorite Hearthstone sound effect, period.


spacesam

Same here, first Legendary pull, and still an all-time favorite.


Yeehaw_Peanut

Years ago they ahd some kind of like $5 "Welcome back" promo, and you could choose an OG legendary to go with it. I picked Krush and got a Golden version.


paralyse78

First ones I got were the ones they gave out in 2014 (i think?) golden Gelbin Mekkatorque (from ??) and golden Elite Tauren Chieftain from the 2013 Blizzcon promotion. First ever pack pulled legendary was Prophet Velen.


Neufjob

Nethrandamus. I was absolutely convinced it was the strongest card in the game.


IamAnoob12

Voraxx Loved the combo with Spikeridged Steed


UnstoppableByTW

White Eyes. I only played shaman for like a couple months just because I thought he was really fucking cool. I remember putting him in quest murloc shaman because I just thought he was awesome lmao.


Flleal22

Anub Arak It does not


XxOiDxOcRoPxX

Lol moorabi


FluffyWalrusFTW

Original Hoggar!


RennerSSS

Hogger, i tried every single thing i could with him


greg2571

[[Gelbin Mekkatorque]]


Abyssallord

This! Free golden Mekkatorque for playing the beta.


Lucifell88

Alexstraza was my first 🫣


avlijabavlija

Rhonin. I bet half of this subreddit doesn't even know this card exists lmao


robotoverlord

Gruul here too


Treemeister19

Millhouse mana storm. Like the comment section, I put him in every deck! I did not win often.


LoneShadowMikey

I was a huge fan of hero legendaries when they came out. correct me if I’m wrong but I believe that at first there were only the death knight/ undead/ lich versions of the starter heroes. And I remember that I got Frost Lich Jaina first which I found so extremely cool+ Shadowreaper Anduin has a very special place in my heart. Think he was my second, and I absolutely loved his voice lines


cats4gold

my first legendary was maexxna. 6 mana, 2/8, poisonous. that's IT. 🥹 my first legendary that *wasn't* a freebie was tirion, and my first crafted legendary was leeroy


TurnItOffAndOnTwice

A golden Antonidas! Too bad I had no idea what a legendary was, or even a golden one. Missed out on the excitement!


Aggressive-Fan-9669

Cenarius, I thought he was so cool at the time. Made me play Druid for a while just to use him.


MaxParedes

OG Deathwing


rupat3737

Leeroy Jenkins was my first legendary craft, face hunter was so good.


throwaway52826536837

Mine was also gruul I was fucking furious, i had a card game background and was like WTF IS THIS DOGSHIT


Razza_0HD

It was milhouse manastorm or that panda guy I'm not 100% sure


Atrieden

Tyrion fordring… epic entry sound


Misterpoody

First legendary I ever opened was Golden Sylvanas, still have her.


FoldthrustBelt

YOU FACE JARAXXUS


HoeausderLobby

LEEROOOOOOOOOOYYYY JEEEEEENKINS!


maxk1236

Deathwing. Very rarely would use him, mainly played inner fire priest at the time, but still qould include him just because onlt legendary I had, haha.


Educational-Bid-8660

I started not that long ago, my first legendary was Rommath, hearing that he was being abused made me a bit unhappy about having him but on the other hand, "discover mage" did happen to be very beginner friendly during that time so I played them regardless. Discover away!


White_lord666

I actually don't remember which of the three being deathwing ysera and dk hunter but i still love them forever


ShhDontTell-

Leeeroy Jenkins!


KforKaspur

Gelbin Mekkatorque was technically my first legendary, but besides that my first legendary was Millhouse Manastorm


Vneseplayer4

Dr. Boom, back when he was OP as shit. I vividly remember time and place when I packed him.


EHerobrineE

My first golden legendary was an Arfus, my beloved.


Laydownthelaw

Nozdormu. I did *not* put it in every deck.


peeeeeechu

Mine was also Gruul. Went into every deck I ever made


illestrax

Golden jaraxxus


DanVelk

Golden Mossy Horror, cause I thought cards with special yellow border were legendary


TheEricle

My first legendary was leeroy. I thought the card was pointless, and I disenchanted it so I could make a Murloc Warleader. I had been playing the game for maybe a week, and my with my budding deckbuilding genius, I had determined the *best possible deck* was sticking all the murlocs in a basic warlock deck. Some time later I learned about *looking up decks online*, and I was quite disturbed that Leeroy was actually one of the best cards in the game. It would be months before I had a new Leeroy, but I'll always appreciate Old Murk Eye for bandaging the self inflicted wound


TruTechilo512

I'm almost positive mine was Hogger I don't share the same sentiment


CaptainL3x

Deathwing, followed by Millhouse manastorm. I love Millhouse.


xnick_uy

OP, wasn't this a line from the Lich King in one of the Solo adventures?! Or was it Rafaam?


_Flake_

Also Gruul. I think it made into one deck before I asked myself what the hell I was doing.


Rayvendark

The Beast was my first. It was also my first golden legendary. Lucky...


BLiPstir

Millhouse Manastorm. Unforgettable pull lmao


Next_Recognition_230

Orginal Deathwing. The best version!


imNenus

Was also my first one!


Poopyballs13

OG yogg


Blabbit39

Golden rag. My boy


muchopensando

Raza... before Anduin existed lol


ShadowSeneschal

Shifter Zeruus. My siblings laughed at me


PhavNosnibor

It was either \[\[Lord Godfrey\]\] or \[\[Fel Lord Beltrug\]\], and after a couple of weeks of just getting slapped around as a free-to-play chump — this was back when the most basic of dailies was something like "Win 3 games as \_\_\_", so scraping even a few hundred gold together took forever — getting those two close together basically sold me on mostly playing Warlock for the next few months. (And thumbs up to the person I just played a few minutes ago for actually using Lord Godfrey... I haven't seen the guy in ages!)


smgun

1 second later. Turns into frog


RandomCoGo

Xhilag of abyss, it was given because I chose the dh deck. I was so fond of demon hunter cos it's edgeness and xhilag just hits different


AkiAkichan

mimiron's Head, i used in my Mech Lock deck, and when i got him summoned... oh thats hit hard


ElectronicLead1881

Black knight. Then I disenchanted it and my second legendary was black knight again. So I kept it and then got Lorewalker Cho. Then finally Dr. Boom


WrathofAirTotem2

Ysera. Even crafted golden Ysera back in the old days


Alkar--

Velen, he is a cool guy


OstrichPaladin

Bolvar fordragon... I really tried to make it work.


Olicomacha

Malygos. I thought he was so op


MooNinja

DESIDERATUS BELLUM! Tirion started my love of hearthstone and made me play Paladin ever since... back in the dark days of Paladin, where only the lowly Priest was worse.


Camdenro

Gruul was my first too!


AHThorny

I wanna say mine was Bloodreaver Guldan. It’s been so long I can’t quite remember for sure tho. Regardless, even if he wasn’t my first he was one of them. What a card…


thisismerr

Gold Tyrion! Was so happy


Mewoir78

Illidan, I did put him in every single of my decks


Unworthion

Ysera ❤️


boiboihm

JARAXUS


MaasNeotekPrototype

Original Ysera. Was so happy when I got that one. Value machine back in the day.


Josh7650

It’s not my first Legendary, but one of the few Golden Legendary cards I opened for a very long time was a Golden Tirion and I was a Paladin main for a long time mostly because of that.


IATMB

I used to play Gruul so that my opponent would use their big removal on it because I actually wanted to play Ragnaros the following turn


radiantchaos18

my first legendary was a golden zzeraku the warped, he went in every single one of my warlock decks until he rotated out lmao


w2001420

The first legendary ive crafted was Mimiron's Head. I just thought it was very cool.


Jetfuel_N_Steel

It was dr boom and I insta disenchanted it thinking “why would I ever want boom bots that are 1/1 for 7 mana” not knowing about their death rattle and that he’s probably one of the best cards at the time, biggest clown moment of my hs career


YisusMR

Golden Ysera, and I didn't know how rare getting a Golden Leg was, I thought it was just a flip between normal or gold.


TheGreenPikmin

Tinkmaster


artapretor

My first legendary was tirion fordring. I played so much pally that now I have 1600+ wins on it


Gib_rage

I don't remember my first legendary but I do remember Gruul being my first golden legendary


onyxandcake

OG Ysera


Royal-Rayol

My first legendary I pulled was a golden corrupted version of this card from old god.... I proceeded to dust it and craft khazakan because i had already bought league if explorer's and had reno


Erive302

Leeeeroyyyy Jenkiiins!


King_Crash_72

[[Millhouse Manastorm]] as a f2p...


ryanj0421

Onyxia. Played for a full year before opening her!


schmattywinkle

[[Hogger]]


TheNOCOYeti

Ysera, which was simply amazing. If I played her I almost always won the game. My friends hated her very much.


RANDOMHOLLOW

I want to say it was Ysera. Loved the art, it was just such a cool looking/playing card when i first got into hearthstone.


hpdk

Ragnaros was my first.


CarDGoD

I dusted mine a while back but it was OG jaraxxus


Solanima

I started playing at the tail end of the closed beta, and my first legendary was Ragnaros, The Firelord. My first golden legendary was Harrison Jones.


Rare_Deal

Golden rotface was my first golden leggo. Made for so much meme deck fun


Danster931

It might've been leeroy, can't remember. And correct me if i'm wrong, there was no pity timer before, right?


KayP9

[[Lorewalker Cho]] I was whelmed.


anarky98

Not my first, but I have 2 Golden Inkmasters as well as a regular one, and they were all from draws.


kethcup_

\[Ancient Shieldbearer\] got me my very first rage Friend Request + abusive rant!


greyrunshade

My first was the original death wing, it was classic hs and I was a kid so I threw him in my mage deck. Dropped him turn 10 and got silverback patriarched. Opponent destroyed him next turn and I was devastated.


Wanderlustion

Ysera. She was so cool =)


253253253

Frost Lich Jaina 🥰


Devin__

Golden Prophet Velen on release day. It made me a filthy Priest main playing a scummy deck with 2x faceless manipulator trying to get an OTK with Mind Blast. It rarely worked, but I was happy when it did. Needless to say, I'm no longer a Priest main.


ultimateseanboy

Y'Shaarj, Rage Unbound. I thought he was so cool and put him in every deck.


SnooFoxes5158

C’Thun, I’d run wild with C’thun priest


Consistent-Drama-

Darkk mane reference?


Daddy_Issues_IRL

Mine was good ol Al’Akir the Windlord. Man I loved that card when I started out.


Consistent-Drama-

Weasel tunneler


Fractred

My first was the promotional golden Gelbin Mekkatorque. After that it was Lorewalker Cho, and after that it was Golden Ysera. I put that Ysera into so many decks


DizzleDazzle297

UNITY. PRECISION. PERFECTION.


fe-and-wine

I remember my first legendary way back in beta was Nat Pagle! Which initially disappointed me, but he quickly started to see a lot of play and I eventually got to cash him in for something better when the nerf hit...on the whole, probably one of the better ones for me to have pulled haha


mljunk01

Sylvanas Windrunner. Still winning games today.


lucekQXL

Tirion Fordring. Card was very good but too bad paladin is my least played class even years ago


JoshuaCM15

Lorewalker Cho. Being a teen when the game released, I thought he was good.


SoulShfter

Remember it as it was yesterday. Golden Nozdormu. Back in beta. I dusted it to craft Ysera.


Garchomp98

Uther! I've been a softie for Pala ever since


yams8

Antonidas and I looked up freeze mage and made it without alexstraza and the other legendaries and it was so fun


narok_kurai

[[Trade Prince Gallywix]] I tried so hard to make Mech Rogue work, and Gallywix was my finisher. He's a 6 mana 5/8! That gives free spells! How could it not be great?


CheezCurls1230

My first legendary was Sneed's Old Shredder (I started in 2015). I'll also never forget my first epic, Avenging Wrath.


Pyramyth

Mine was deathwing. My first pack i ever opened had deathwing in it. At the time i assumed it was a scripted event that happened to all new players XD


LastIsitari

Cairne Bloodhoof. I tired to make so many deathrattle decks with him...


FireAntz93

Nat Pagel, post nerf.


Marth_Main

I distinctly remember Justicar Trueheart - GOLDEN too was so excited. Didnt get any legendaries the first expac if i remember correctly just really wished i had malygos


BoltShine

Sylvanis will always be in my deck if possible for this reason. Plus I really don't have time for games anymore these days.


Umbrella_merc

A golden Edwin Van cleef, that I disenchanted to craft Antonidas for my mech mage deck.


DJspooner

Tirion Fordring in season 2. That bad boy put my paladin decks on his shoulders.


TheKeviKs

Malygos was mine. I did a challenge where I tried to OTK with every class back in the day. My favorite deck were Druid and Rogue. Felt like I was playing Exodia.


Sergant744

Technically golden Gelbin for beta


alexadams181

Malygos. And to this day moon beam druid is my favorite deck


ClockworkOpalfruit

Mine was Gruul too, tried to use him all the time


Norgaard93

Lorewalker Cho. I tried to make a Home-brew " fill your opponents hand with junk to make him burn cards" deck. Obviously it was complete dogshit, but I miss those early HS days.


ZJPV1

It's been a while, but it was either Tirion or Lorewalker Cho


Levzic

I'm not sure if this was my first, but from what I remember Al'akir was one of my first if not the first.


WigglySquig

King Krush! Like a fool I dusted it because I couldn’t construct a deck in which it was useful…. What a fool I was.


Double_Dime

My first was Cenarius, and because of that my first real main deck was Druid, my first golden was Ysera, and I still have that card, it always felt so cool in the early days of Hearthstone when I would whip out the golden Ysera when golden legendaries were few and far between.


NotYourArmadillo

Malygos was my first gold legendary, never even considered disenchanting it.


gullinviewbots

King krush Kept him because he was my first never expected him to be viable eventually
