Sounds more like you have 800 dust. You're halfway to Dr. Boom.

Not often will you see Dr. Boom beaten by 90 points on HearthArena (Kel'Thuzad just got 188 points thanks to a super aggro deck with lots of deathrattle effects). I'm pretty sure 188 is the highest value I've ever seen a pick have too.

Two legendaries in a week and a half is pretty freaking good. What are you complaining about?

WTF!! How is that fair, you've been playing a week and a half and you have two legendaries and I've been playing for like 6 or 7 weeks and I have none except for the Naxxramas ones?!? RNGesus plz.
I just tried this.
High Justice Grimstone surprised me with this amazing play:
Jaraxus, Eredar Lord of the Burning Legion... what do you think of this move?
Thank you, Jaraxus.

I'm sitting on potentially 6100 dust right now but I don't want to actually disenchant until a balance patch. Should I just go ahead and disenchant or wait until a patch to potentially get more dust? I've crafted Boom already. Just the value proposition from disenchanting really sucks.

I thinks its safe to de almost all classic cards.

What about accounting for account history and games played? Fresh accounts get their own pool and can only play other fresh accounts for a while?
The ultimate goal for all of these ideas is to avoid having new players without a lot of cards matched up against experienced players with decks full of legendaries to make their start into this game as painless as possible.
3 Cancerbots, 2 Shredders, SoJ, Muster, ConsecrationWhy is this deck 6-0
A good handful of op cards and a playable are usually enough to carry you to the Mage gauntlet

Tirion is worth crafting. He's arguably the best card in the game. If he were a neutral legendary, everyone would advise you to craft either him, Sylvanas, or Dr. Boom as your first legendary, and he would be in damn near every deck that isn't super aggro. Lay on Hands can be replaced with Solemn Vigil.

It took me three months before I got my first legendary (Hogger). I went through about 50 packs.
started my climb today,, first 3-4 decks were all standard zoo, i am playing demon zoo, it was a hilarious stomp for w.e reason.
bane of doom basically killed anything i found annoying (best thing i got out of it was a voidcaller).
the leper gnomes had me dying of laughter
first time playing since the reset where i was rank 2 i believe, so im around the 15-14 bracket after those 3-4 games so i guess im still playing against the cheaper versions of the deck or something

I have a f2p account that's over a year old, and it only has two legendaries outside the ones from the two adventures.
First pack I opened after picking this up when it released on phones had a Millhouse.
So nice of the game to start me with 400 dust.

I've got a few legendaries from packs recently. Wondering if they are worth keeping or if I should dust them? I'm pretty new to the game and don't really have a class that I love to play more than others.
Al'akir the Windlord
Hogger
Golden Gruul
What do you guys think?

I would keep Al Akir for sure and maybe Hogger dust the gold Gruul.
I keep even the most useless legendaries im more of a collector, so you might want to dust the Hogger if you dont see any value in the card except its dust.
Heyo_Rockbreaker

And craft Dr. Boom with the dust.
Al'Akir is good, Hogger is played from time to time but far from essential and Gruul, no matter if golden or regular, is 100% pure dust

If your new to the game i think it would be better to craft essential rares and epics before spending all your dust on dr boom.
Sorry I went to bed right after you asked this.
built with tempo storm's deck builder. The deck does pretty good, I have troubles with Grim Patron a little, I just need more practice against it to know what to look for with this deck and counter. I think Doomsayer is something most decks don't come to expect.
The idea is place sticky minions, trade with early game stuff, then trade away your minions on turn 3/4 into Solemn Vigil + Drakes if you can find them.

I think casual already does this. Ranked is a different sort of beast of course and that is intentional, and is designed more towards the player who already understands the game well enough to trek into it. When you already have a firm grasp on the basics of this game, you can win against good decks. It isn't like you can't beat a good deck with a basic deck, that I have done many times in basic only runs on EU. And you shouldn't just be capable of running any random assortment of basic cards and succeed on ladder. There are tons of resources to help you learn the basics and build basic decks if you can't manage it on your own.
The lack of cards isn't what causes people to lose to "decks full of legendaries". It is that they aren't good enough. Also, just having a deck full of legendaries doesn't mean you will win, or even that you have a good deck. The people farming at low ranks are doing it because they are not good enough to play against better opponents, or in arena if they are grinding gold.
As for the idea of accounting history and games played, that is basically what an ELO/ranked MMS does anyway. Ranked resets of course, however it does so for a purpose. Casual, on the other hand, does not reset. They've never fully explained how MMR works in casual and probably for good reason. Of course they can continually touch up the MMS to help newer players. I think they said in one of their last AMAs on reddit that they are working on that.

Ok, cool. What specifically should I craft? Are there any neutral rares and epics that are used in a lot of decks across all classes?
Almost any non-hyper aggro deck wants a Big Game Hunter these days
IMO, don't bother with neutral epics. None of them are worth the dust when you're still starting out. There are class epics that are crucial to certain decks, however.
But these rares are very useful in lots of decks:
Azure Drake
Defender of Argus
Mind control tech
Knife juggler
Kezan Mystic

Over time, yeah. But if you're new, rares and commons are much more relevant to strengthening your deck than a legendary is.
Faceless manipulator... on the other hand, is going to be a rather terrible long term investment. It isn't just a bad legendary replacement, it is just a mediocre card overall - imo. Incredibly niche at the very least and hasn't been seen in competitive play since perhaps beta.
I think it was Naxx that pretty much killed it. It stayed around for awhile. I don't think it's a bad card, I would still slot it in a control deck if I was lacking in legendaries.
I returned to this game three weeks ago because of it being on phones and was losing all my arenas badly, like 2-3 1-3 and so, but then I choose chaman just because (I love chaman but on Arena never have won more than 2 matches), and here I am, 8-1, with 6 of those wins singlehandedly thanks to the motherfucking Earth Elemental, 3 just conceded instantly and the other 3 just went insane mode trying to kill it forgetting my other cards on the board lol
Obviously a useful card but crafting 4 badly needed rares would be more worthwhile for a new player.
I'd skip kezan and MC tech, since they're tech cards, but the rest should be crafted imo.

The funniest thing about Dr. Balanced is that he's strong and versatile enough to fit in to almost any deck that isn't Face Hunter.

Completed my first dailies today. I am bitten by the bug! Also got to rank 24.
I have put him in Face Hunter deck and it can give you some cheeky wins with the Boom Bots to face.
It's not like it's awful to put him in Face Hunter.
Now I know why Dragon Hunter is a thing... fucking Kripparian made a video on it and now people have started using it.

Same could be said for loatheb. Even ragnaros. That deosn't mean a card is OP. I don't think dr. boom is optimal for every deck as people sometimes seem to claim.
How Good Is Dragon Hunter?
