Back in the closed beta, Greenskin's effect was to draw you a card every time your hero attacked. That's not mindblowing nowadays, but back then I think that was the only card to have an on hero attack trigger. I have NO idea why they changed it.

I will never forget that my first Golden Legendary in the game was Tinkmaster Overspark. And while he can highroll and either give you a 5/5 or transform an enemy threat into a 1/1 or even an effectless 5/5, it still felt way to risky to run him. In fact, Tinkmaster Overspark being one of Toki's starter cards in her adventure is why I still haven't completed her adventure line.

Dreadscale's legacy is that many years later Serpent Bloom was printed and sometimes Dreadscale sees play in Wild due to it. Which is kinda sad considering that Missile Launcher got an attachment in its own expansion which effectively has the same effect. But that's 3 mana versus 8 for a board clear. Which is why it doesn't really see play now compared to Dreadscale.

I remember using Maexxna back in the days of Naxxramas. I also remember using Cairne with my quest priest when they first released quests (Deathrattle quest for priest). Funny to see them on this list, but then again, unless you wanted to pay money or spent a lot of hours in the game, you didn't really have much to work with (that was my case at least).

Unless I'm being thick, a lot of people in the comments seem to be missing the point of this list. I interpret it that he's covering how disappointing/boring the effect is, not the power level of the card/effect in any past or current meta. This is based on the fact that legendary cards are meant to be cool or interesting and these cards just aren't and don't deserve the rarity. If you look at it this way the list goes- 10- Stealth, summons 1/1s. 9- Summons 2/1s per card played. 8- 1 damage AOE at end of turn. 7- +1/+1 to your weapon. 6- +1 attack to weapons in deck/hand. 5- Death rattle gives opponent a 3/3. 4- Death rattle summons a 5/5. 3- +1/+1 every turn. 2- Battlecry destroys a beast. 1- Poisonous. Makes sense to me that way!
@Jack_Rakan

True, but at the same time, it's not fair for some of the cards to be called boring/uninteresting just because other cards were released to powercreep them in the years since their initial release. Illidan, Cairne, Gruul and heck, even The Beast had unique effects at the time. Maexxna too, was basically the first Poisonous minion that actually had the HP to go 2-3 for 1, and still actually make use of the keyword. I feel there should be a distinction between boring effects that were already meh when the card was launched, and boring effects because the devs liked the mechanic so reused it later on.

Corrections: Moroes was actually in tier 1-2 decks, mainly highlander and aggro paladin. And it was in the most known meme deck: full legendary deck and was one of the Best card in it. Thermaplug was in the 2.nd expansikn and not the first, Naxxramas was the first and GvG was only the 2nd Dreadscale: was in like tier 3-4 decks, its pair was Way worse Acidmaw was unplayable, for its manacost, it had good stats. Captain Greenskin was in tier 1 decks, pirate warrior and rogue (not because of the text, but because of the pirate tag, but atleast the effect was useful) Ladyasvane actually recently saw tier 1 play in weapon warrior.

Hemet did see some nische play As a tech option in control warrior who could afford to swap out one of its big minions (from the like 15+ they were running), for a Hemet to have a bit easier time against hunters. Back then control warrior ran a really high curve, most of its lower cards were shieldblock, armorsnith, shieldslam, execute, and acolyte of pain, and by most, outside of tech options these were the only low cost cards, after that came brawl As their only 5 mana card, thats why hemet was run, to deal with Savanna Highmains, that were run in every midrange hunter deck)

Cool video Mr. Logs but the Cairne part triggered me. You describe Cairne as a 6 mana 10/10 but those are stats that might be worth playing even these days on standard. Since the Bloodhoof on play is always just one what you should count is the attack of both minions as one and stack their health, resulting in a 6 mana 5/10 (quite less menacing). Same exact thing is the value of scrapyard colossus for example (7/14, not 14/14)

old neptulon: basicly if you play this on turn 7 you get no value out of turn 8 since it locks 3 mana crystals, and the idea of adding 4 random murlocs is kinda terrible too... now if this were neutral instead of a shaman legendary then it might be saved by paladin who has a few strats that work off of smaller minions so it could be a saving grace, but as it stands its litterally a war golem with really bad utility... it doesn't help that neptulon could have a much diffrent effect: what if instead of a 7 mana, you made it a 5 mana 5/5 or 6 mana 6/6 with: give all your murlocs +3/+3, they lose the bonus after their next attack? would be a huge boon for shammy as it would basicly be a blood lust on a minion but it also gives health wich murlocs sorely lack, but then to ballance it you lose the bonus if you attack that would with a full board still be +18/+18 in stats if played right ^^

He's even the final tutorial boss, explicitly made to look "unfair" to a new player. You'd _think_ they'd give him a good effect that referenced said tutorial, like "Battlecry: Summon two 2/1 Flames and equip a 2/2 Warglaive." (with apropriately shitty stats for a minion of that time), but no. At least his unique property of summoning minions _whenever_ a card is played instead of _after_ gave birth to several interesting interations and combos that pushed the game to its limits (like allowing you to have dead minions in hand iirc). Too bad Xavius doesn't have that anymore and Classic format doesn't have enough cards to pull off said crazy combos.
