I have like 5,000 gold and about 12,000 dust I think.
Also, I miss the old OT numbers that were accelerated by Unstable Portal. Mods ruin all the fun
Unstable Portal won't be in Standard. So its effects are leaving our threads too. =)

New threadBtw guys how much gold have you saved by now? I've been lazy and i only got 2000 gold.
1650, I bought like 15 classic packs a few day ago because I felt like it.
I can mass DE for about 3k dust, but I expect that to go up at 1k when the nerfs hit. I'm also ready to DE any gold versions of nerfed cards (Maybe even DE the non-gold versions if the cards are made useless)
I think I should play more Arena, I have seen some people say that doing like a few runs a week actually gives a ton of dust.

Oh, how could I forget, there's always Day[9] who streams Hearthstone Tuesday-Thursday nights from 7-8:30 Pacific time.
I enjoy his antics a lot but I can understand if they're not for everyone.

I miss Funday Monday. But I still love Day[J]
Day 9 was always insightful for StarCraft. He's also a bit more mature than most streamers.
Kibler still is the top for insightful and mature though.

If it is like my typical Christmas you'll get six legendaries, all of them boogeymonster
I'll have enough gold for about 40 packs at launch. Buying 50 packs is nuts in my opinion. There will be like 10 cards worth getting and you can dust all the crap wild cards.

I'm around 3600 gold, 1550 dust, and fully expect to preorder the 50 pack. Too bad it's so damn far out still.

I really don't understand why Keeper of Uldaman is only 4 mana. No way that should have been under 5.

Above all else why is it a common? Paladins truly do not need such strong tools in arena.
Because Ben Brode plays paladin. [BenBrodeCackling.GIF]
Every class got 2 commons, and 1 rare. Should Anyfin be a common instead?
That card is some serious bullshit, the fact that it can neuter even a deathwing (and cthun coming up). At least a humility/equality/Peacekeep keeps one stat the same. The fact that's it's common, and that whatever it's used on still trades favourably against the keeper is bullshit.and then the fact that it can be used as a buff for your own minions, all for 4 mana.

Or they could have had exceptions to that rule, I don't see why every class had to have had 2 Commons and a rare.

Sure. That would have been way less detrimental to arena.
So this beginner's guide asks me to buy 2 expert packs with my 280g. How do I know they are expert packs? And should it be from the Classic or Gnomes deck?
I think expert packs are regular card packs. Go with Classic. Gnomes will be rotated out soon.

Get classic. They are by far the best gold investment for new players.
*Edit*
Wow that guide is horribly outdated, it was made before other sets existed. The info is still mostly spot on, though I'd hold on to your free arena run until you have a bit more of a hold on how to play the game. Arena can be tricky and many of the best players prefer to play there. In the future every arena run will cost gold or real money, so attacking it when you know the basics often gets you better returns.
Expert is classic packs.
They're by far the best thing for you to get now, especially since there's a big format change coming which will cycle the GvG cards out of the main one.
Expert Packs is what Classic packs used to be called.

Absolutely. Card rarities pretty much only matter in arena, and Anfiny as a common wouldn't matter one bit
Thanks!
I'm already following this guide and is at step 9. I did one Arena attack and lost all 3 rounds but got some dust and gold.
But if I don't buy the Gnomes cards now and they are being shuffled out, doesn't this mean I miss out on getting any of these cards? Or will they still exist and be obtainable when the new format launches?

It's certainly not world ending, even good players go 0-3 on occasion. The important part is you got some cards and gold.
While gvg cards will be more difficult to get in the future, they won't be impossible to acquire. Additionally, the format you are likely to be playing for the immediate future (once implemented next month) they won't even be allowed, so you're probably much better off ignoring them til you have an established collection.
They will still exist in the anything goes format, and you will still be able to craft the cards with dust, should you want to. I'd focus on the standard format as a starting player, one less expansion and adventure to collect.

I have 1960 gold and 650 dust. I regret spending the 700 gold i had saved in January but at least i got Alexstrasza.
Also i am probably going to disenchant some legendaries from the adventures plus whatever card is nerfed and becomes unplayable.
I hope i can get a lot of the new cards

What's with all the aggro Druid on ladder? Did some popular streamer start playing it or something?
They've been around for a while.

Yeah but it hasn't been popular for a while now. I've run into like 5 of them today.

Trump teaching me that there is such a thing as drafting too many weapons.
Just understand their counters, i.e. don't try to beat the Hunter if you are playing Warrior.. play Paladin instead. Bait out removal with little minions and then play your strong ones when they can no longer counter them. It's well worth doing for the gold reward.

I never go above 3, unless they're attached to Muster or something.
It's easier than you think, you just need to think about how each deck plays and what counters it. The Hunter deck loses steam quickly, so play a Priest deck with good defense and heal a lot, etc.
I actually ran into an egg druid earlier. I love that deck, it's a lot of fun and is capable of a lot of bullshit.. but I had finished my dailies and was back to playing Patron Warrior. It was like taking candy from a baby. Every turn I cleared him out and made my board stronger. Got to be one of the most one-sided matchups.
might have been a stream, but depending on your rank, I've seen random ass decks show up multiple times for no apparent reason before.
Oh, when I wrote "not" I meant "now". Stupid phone auto correction lol. I have beaten 4 Expert heroes so far. Need to beat 5 more but now I'm going to sleep.

I run Egg Druid whenever I get a Druid quest. I managed to turn 3 lethal a Secret Paladin with it the other day. It's an extremely powerful deck if it draws just right, but I've never gotten enough consistency out of it to actually ladder with it.
Egg Druid just might be the most inconsistent deck there is. There is a huge gulf between getting a good start and a bad one. But this guy even pulled off the Ooze + Innervate + Mark combo and I still trucked him, the Warrior's weapon kit and endless whirlwind effects shut that deck down hard.

The problem with this weeks brawl, I can't get my quests done easily
I rolled the deal 100 damage to enemy heroes, 2 brawls and it was done

When you go, ask how Dreadsteed interacts with N'zoth.
