Both of these are pretty good legendary cards.

Varian Wrynn has some incredible value with being able to draw 3 cards and then if they are minions they go into play. Keep in mind though this means that if those minions have a battlecry effect it will not go off. My first thought was that this would work itself into control warrior, but if you look at the value minions control warrior has, many of them have battlecry effects. Still, could you imagine this in some kind of Dragon Control Warrior or some kind of hybrid where you play Ragnaros, Ysera, and Grom Hellscream? Any of those 3 being put on a battlefield with Varian Wrynn makes him a lot more deadly than Dr. Boom. The best part is though, if you don’t draw any minions you still have 3 new cards in your hand with a 7/7 on the field. This card should definitely be seeing play in Warrior decks.

Rhonin is good, but more risky. If he gets silenced you miss out on what makes him interesting. He might also just be too slow. However, combine him up with Malygos and you could have some Arcane Missile fun. Rhonin might make spellpower mage decks more of a thing. Flamewaker mage also becomes a lot more fun as well. Flamewaker + Rhonin + Archmage Antonidas = pretty scary.

Fun fact: If your board is full, Varian puts drawn minions into your hand. If Chromaggus is on board, you’d get a copy of the minion.
