I'm an almost completely F2P player (I bought Blackrock but nothing else). Saving gold for the adventures is a long process but you get some very important cards out of it. If you have the adventures, I tend to agree that arena runs are a good value, and when buying packs, stick to Classic until you're getting too many dupes.

Add this card.
I do not have that card, nor the dust to craft it. Thanks for the suggestion though.
I've only been in the community for a few months but It feels like complaints are only relevant to whatever's in the meta and then apparently it's cancer or broken?
Nobody was complaining about mech Mage a couple months ago but because now it's winning, it's awful apparently.

Jokes on you. I have always complained about all mech decks. Garbage snowball off opening hand deck type.
Isn't pointless with a great 2-cost minion on turn 1!

Hearthstone players hate everything, look at the last page where someone is calling Mill Rogue a cancer deck
No one likes losing.

Oh no, someone had lethal against me bu decided to attack my minions instead allowing me to beat them with a ragnaros the next turn, learn to count!!!
Then next game my opponent played Tirion while I had mirror entity up, he crashed all his minions into my clone, killing him and giving me the weapon, I polymorphed his Tirion next turn and played a card to end the match and the game disconnected and failed to reconnect..........like come on!

I run double brawl already. I lose those games by turn 5 anyway so not like it matters.
Switch to patron
Never really have problems vs. Secret Paladin and I'm not even running Revenge.
Ghoul was picked up from the gnomish.
I thought you're supposed to save whirlwinds to trigger the Patron or remove 1 health minions or cause massive destruction with a frothing.
That's what I did. However, I still lost.
Got a deathbite on turn 7 when I was almost dead.
This keeps happening a lot, so that's why I think Patron is inconsistent.
When I mulligan, I'm looking for a whirlwind and a weapon.
I usually never get it.
Am I looking at this correctly?
Wow. Now ranked 20.
Maybe I'll just go back to Paladin, but Paladin seems boring.
Do you guys have any tips?
Deathlord is pretty good in arena if you don't have silence.
What's with the hate for Patron Warrior?

They can do an OTK on an empty board if they have the hand for it (which they can get through insane card draw) and you can't do anything. On turn 8 all minions with below 3 attack are suddenly useless.
But what if you don't let the game go to turn 8?

That'd be pretty difficult with Armorsmiths, Shield Blocks, 4 weapons and Whirlwinds/Unstable Ghouls/Inner Rages.

Go watch someone who knows what they're doing with patron warrior. Even if you don't learn anything other than the fact that the deck is brokenly good, it'll be worth your time.
I think you're just getting caught up in the mulligans and openers. They're very strict for Patron and every matchup requires a different mulligan. It's one of the reasons I stopped playing the deck on ladder, because while I enjoy it, it's such a chore to learn and now with this new meta, I'd have to relearn all the mulligans and openers.
Do what Moebius said. Watch a patron player on Twitch and see how they mulligan. It'll take some time to get used to but no one ever said learning Patron was easy.

I learned today that if you joust and your opponent has no minions left in the deck you automatically win the joust, it makes total sense but somehow i was afraid i was gonna lose the joust. Also nexus champion saarad is awesome, i got the new shaman heal from it and it saved my ass in a match that went into fatigue that other priest must have been raging when i show all the heal i got from saarad

Heh, yeah, I won a joust against a priest that was a pretty much game winner cause he had no minions left which is pretty much fatal against a paladin in a fatigue game.
I said tomorrow morning for the stream yesterday and now it's the afternoon. Oh well, never too late for Wizard Poker!

Finally got my win five tavern brawls quest done, nothing but freeze mage. Yeesh.
It would be a bit harder to proc, but I imagine a charge-giver + Pyro + random spell + circle of healing would make molten giants really dumb. Light of the Naaru too.
I would not be opposed to a Legendary that does this but giving it to Mystic is overkill.

Probably... maybe compromise. Steal 1, destroy the rest. Steal 2. There's ways.
edit: this is not prompted out of saltiness, it's out of pity. I tried building a Christmas Tree paladin just now and my opponent played a Kezan Mystic after I played the Mysterious Challenger... Kezan was designed as a counter to secret, but it didn't do shit.

Kezan is good enough against secrets.
I dislike hard counters. There's nothing worse than shaman vs handlock, you either have earthshocks for the twilightdrakes and hexes for Giants or you don't, makes the match up 100% determined by your draw. I think matches being determined 100% by your draw are not very fun.
When I played kezan, it felt like if I drew it vs a secret I had a huge advantage, but if I drew it vs a non secret class I was at a big disadvantage. Drawing puts enough variance into the game, super hard counters make it too much variance.
Handlock only exists because Big Game Hunter exists.
If they didn't make BGH, they would've never made Giants, and every Warlock would be Zoolock which is just as unfun if not moreso. Counters, paradoxically, lead to variety, because no single strategy can be overwhelming by itself so long as counters exist, and thus they can push subthemes (Giant, Secrets, Mechs, Buffing, Weapons, etc) more.
That's the ideal anyway. It doesn't always work out in practice. I guess there are players like Kripp who just want to trade dudes all day like in Arena but I find that extremely dull.

It's not a fun deck to play against, it's incredibly strong, and I'm not a fan of using other people's decks instead of coming up with my own.

I'm still sort of surprised that there isn't a neutral secret removal that does what flare does, I guess Blizzard thinks that having just a vanilla secret counter mechanic isn't interesting enough.
Maybe there will be some sort of blood knight but for secrets. Destroys all secrets for both players and gains stat counters from destroying them
