You can resell physical cards.

And you can get every last GvG card for free too. Works both ways, quite a number of people will probably complete the whole set in the first few days (perhaps hours even) and not spend a dime.

So I've been playing a deathrattle shockadin deck.
It's not that disgusting, but I'm surprised it isn't played by better players - it seems pretty strong since you got all the elements there for a fast aggro deck.

Well, those people have piles of dust/gold saved up. It's more that they've stored their time spent, not that they got them quickly.

Which, if you are enjoying the game, isn't a big cost, especially if you don't want to spend actual money.
Oh agreed, I just mean that Minsc's statement about some non-paying players doesn't mean that you don't have to put time or money into this game to get cards. It's just that those people have already put in their time and are able to "cash out" on GvG right away.
Edit: Of course the irony is that those people tend to be arena addicts, not constructed players.

11.5K gold saved. I'm ready.
How do people really have so much gold? Is it arena?
It's not that hard. I've been saving for a couple of weeks and I have 2.5k.
Ditto. I have gotten 2k in 2 weeks and I barely even play.
If you want to be super efficient, you only need to play Hearthstone every 3 days or so. Then you can knock out 3 quests at once.
And yeah I'll plop down $50 on day one of GvG, dust the duplicates, try a new Pally deck and then wait for the meta to decide what else is good (ahem, Hunter).

Maybe log in once a day to try to re-roll for better quests, but otherwise yeah, once every 3 days is all you need to play to reach optimal efficiency.
Wut? Not at all. Gathering the cards in this game isnt that bad once you get past the very start. Its the new player thats hosed, but if you have been playing a while, you shouldnt have to really spend a penny on this stuff. You will get it all in the normal course of play in the terrible terrible arena.

I've been saving for months and don't even have half of the 20,000 gold required.

Simply by not obtaining ~7-8 of the less or completely worthless legendaries you trim that requirement down by over half or so. I'm missing a good ~20 or so legendaries from the original set, but I hardly feel it's worth the $700 I'm told they amount to from the sheets document, given the majority are almost unplayable.
Really though, why are you trolling this expansion set so much. You certainly don't *need* 20,000 gold to play it. Far from it.
Unless your plan is to hit legendary with every class using only GvG cards I suppose.

You will never have all of the Hearthstone cards unless you play all the time or spend a lot of money. You're just going to have to learn to live with this.

Pretty much this.
I also managed to make a decent priest deck with lightspawn and Divine Spirit and it worked pretty damn well....until i played ranked and came across a warlock with the most disgusting deck i have ever seen, it was disgustingly good. Deathrattle up ass and minions with no fucking end, i think that's what people call a zoolock deck.
Aren't they still voting for card reveals? I imagine this may be the last one. After the last vote the set will probably be released.
Yep. Trump made a druid deck that was strong against the hunter matchup recently and got to legendary with it. Tried it out. Works really well.
I used to run a taunt based Druid against the old zoo (watchers, sunfury, cairne, etc) that had heals and spell damage Starfalls (Thalnos). It worked reasonably well, but no idea about the hunter part.

Both miracle druid and chow druid work well
Kolento's Dreamhack Druid is probably the closest to that, but it's highly dependent on you getting early Innervates, I don't think it runs Wild Growth.

I'm liking how a tempo rogue may look like post gvg. One of the problems imo is that sometimes you have to screw up your curve or lack combo starters mid game. But spare parts is gonna help that.
Clockwork gnome and tinkertown technician seem like choice cards.
Micro machine plus iron sensei. By turn four that could be a 7/4.

That's exactly what I do. At most I'll just do a single quest per day, never really do more.
Someone posted a set of deck lists for new players with only starter cards or starter + Naxx cards.

Cute. Just found out you can be killed and revived if done in one turn. Had two health, used Blade Flurry with a Leper Gnome and Zombie Chow on the board. Leper Gnome deathrattle activated first my health zero but Zombie Chow deathrattle activated anyways and got knocked back up five health.
It does, it's just taunt after taunt, Sludge Belchers really chew up their tempo when you innervate them out.
It doesnt work as well as before right? It seems i dont get the overlapping win 3 games and win 5 games with one class anymore...

I'm not sure if they changed it, but you can certainly at least re-roll to eliminate really bad ones (like the 40 gold, play a bunch of high-cost minion quest) or at least try to overlap some. I have moderate success doing this each day.
You can still get overlapping ones.

When is it coming out?

All we know is "sometime in December" but I think it is safe to say that it will be a Tuesday.

I'm going to save up my gold until release and probably buy an iTunes gift card to get ready.
Hopefully this Tuesday.
C'mon blizzard you want my money,don't you?
Edit::
After looking at the wow screenshots,I have to say that the new warlock legendray looks more like Balnazzar,then Malganis or Tichondrius.
Althouhg,the later 2 deserve it more.
Incidentally I think Saidan Dathrohan/Balnazzar would be an interesting card for the paladin.

I doubt it will be tomorrow, but I did read an extended maintenance. But could be more towards preparations than release. We all still remember how naxx release went.

They might release the rest of the cards all in one day if they're updating clients to include the new card information. They did this with naxxramas since people would datamine it anyway.
