Just went up against my first mill Rogue using Gang Up.
It's pretty damn broken.

Thaurissan is an auto-include in just about every control deck. On Dr. Boom level. Might as well craft a golden one.

I used Fatigue Mage with lots of freezes and taunts.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Gonna do just that, actually!

Same here. I wonder if that's scripted.

No frikkin clue.
Oh shit, wait, it's up!

I think it depends on what your goals are for the game. Making 1 competitive deck is actually quite easy. And in constructed I've gotten really far up the ladder with just basic cards alone. I think my top rank was above 10, closing in on 5, before I got bored one season.
If you intend to try and break into esports or high level tournament play, you'll want to pay money. But if you just intend to play the game, build a few competitive decks, just grind out arena and it definitely won't take months. Just a few days ago I did a day and a half of arena and earned about 1600 dust and I don't even arena often. If I had the patience to play arena all the time, I could probably grind out every competitive deck in maybe 1-2 months.

9-1 with my shaman deck. Screw that face hunter who had to ruin my perfect 10-0 run 
I also haven't drawn thaurissian enough to really judge him, but he is quite awesome.

Nothing like free Shield Slams and Executes and a five mana Sylvanas to go along with a four mana Brawl.

That wasn't face hunter. He traded...remember?
And thanks again for my ~500 dust.

Just luck. I was actually in a bit of trouble when he dropped it later in a game.

I just did it and I don't give a fuck if he ends up being in the meta or not. For me, he is an auto-pick in all my decks, even more-so than Doctor Boom (who I also crafted a golden version of two days ago).
I saw the last boss attack with his wife and dark iron dwarf her after.
The AI has always been dumb as rocks. It will literally always play a card if it has the mana to do so.

Grim Patron Warrior is so damn fun. I hope some consistent decks spawn out of it because I'd love for it to end up being somewhat viable as opposed to just a fun gimmick.

Oil rogue + cold light + gang up + thaurissan

But where's all the gold coming from to grind out Arena?
From arena/daily quests of course
Nah, it was classic face hunter. Even face hunter sometimes trades and that was the one actual decision he made right iirc.
The face hunters right glaivezooka, arcane golem, etc.. The midrange guys play highmane and aren't as aggressive with less charging stuff and more focused on controlling the board than ignoring totems etc..

Trump's videos linked in the OP teach the game basics pretty well.

Wow Emperor is game changing. I figured he'd be strong but my god if you can make him stick it's all over

Wait, gold? Nah, you get cards.
You get a cardback if you beat the entire heroic expansion.
And this time it's not shit.
So apparently if you Recombobulate a minion that has had its cost reduced by Thaurissan, you get a minion at the reduced cost level. So Recombobulating an Antique Healbot would give you a Yeti, for example. And if you Recombobulate a Molten Giant it straight up crashes the game.
Nice QA testing there, Blizz.

I think the card is auto-include in almost every deck, just as Boom can be found in everything from early game aggro to late game control.
It's one of those "too good not to have" cards.
Haha, good catch.
I feel like the game could use some other kind of reward beyond card backs. I don't see the allure. It's not even something you get to see much of yourself on your own cards.
I'm trying to think of something else that could work as a reward, beyond more gold, dust, or card/card packs....I dunno. Making greater strides toward getting golden heroes might be a nice reward...
I wonder if a reroll token for a card pack would be a cool reward? Like, if you don't care for a card pack's contents, you can reroll its contents for another shot or something. It'd need to maintain the rarities you got, I guess....otherwise it'd be a shittier reward than just getting another pack. End result would be being able to trade in an extra copy of a rare, epic or legendary in your pack for another rare, epic or legendary at random. Basically.

High Justice Grimstone (Heroic) was one of my favorite Hearthstone fights of all time. It was a 30 min long EPIC control battle. Won win this deck (third try):
I'm not even sure why that didn't occur to me. That'd be rad for sure. I wouldn't even care if they made heroes out of characters that have already become cards. They could even have some fun meta VO dialogue if a hero ever played his/her own character card or something.
That was the first thing that Forsen said about that card.
Emperor Thaurissan is a game changer for sure.
