Wouldn't bother with Cairne. It's still a fine card, but I personally prefer the 6 drop piloted card from GvG or Toshley. Piloted guy has one less health but puts on more immediate pressure, and Toshley is a 5/7 for the same price that gives you two Spare Parts, which is amazing. Black Knight isn't really good at the moment because the only Taunts people are really playing are Annoy-O-Tron and Sludge Belcher. It's nice to kill the first half of Sludge Belcher, but that's pretty much it at the moment. Rag is Rag, not much else to say there. As for new legendaries, I really feel like the only ones worth crafting immediately are Vol'Jin, Toshley, and if you want to play demonlock Mal'Ganis. The rest are either mediocre or just not as good as old legendaries. Antonidas is fucking incredible right now because 1. mage is actually really good now and 2. it has disgustingly good synergy with spare parts. Sylvanas is probably the most necessary legendary for any non-aggro deck.I havent played for like 4 months but I got to dust boatload of flares and gadgetzans so I have more than enough dust to craft. Even if I hoard some dust for just in case I should have 5k~ dust to blow. What's good with the new update? Should I go for stuff like Cairne / BK / Ragnaros or are any of the new legendaries even worth going for?
I'm more of a casual player, so don't have any of the good legendaries other than random Tirion / VanCleef / Grommash I pulled. I did have a Leeroy but I dusted that for full price, which was probably worth it because I haven't played a single game since...
Huh? Antonidas seems like a super situational card.Wouldn't bother with Cairne. It's still a fine card, but I personally prefer the 6 drop piloted card from GvG or Toshley.

Basically what I'm getting at is that the meta is way too unstable to know what the hell is important to get right now barring obviously good legendaries like Vol'Jin, Sylvanas, and Antonidas.
You'd be surprised at how well budget versions of minions perform. I've gotten over rank 5 every season using Shaman without Al'Akir/Sea Giants and Control Warrior with Grommash, Alexstrasza, and Boulderfist Ogres as legendary proxies.I'm so far behind collection-wise in constructed (haven't even unlocked all of Naxx) I can't break the Rank 13-12+ ceiling. Arena is the only reasonable place where I can fight fair, plus it's really the most convenient way to grind. One day, One day I have enough gold maybe.
EDIT: plus SPECTATOR MODE! I'd really love to watch you guys in action if any of you're on. I'm sharing my Tag (SoulFly#1403) and I'll add whoever shares theirs.....
mainly arena - sometimes its to get quests but i occasionally feel like spending a day or so grinding (mainly with warrior control but i spent a day playing zoo once)i play arena almost exclusively, do any of you guys like it or do you mostly stick to constructed
it's like semi- cold blood and 2x deadly poson rolled into one. That's a lot of value for 4 mana. but yeah, you need board presence. but if you combo up with deadly poison it's insane. In one match I smashed everything with an 8/4 weapon and a concealed 11 atk pirate (that's a pretty consistent dream, give or take the conceal)also on the topic of the oil, i think its a fine finisher but its fairly clunky, so id be happy with one. granted my experience with the card is arena though.
