When I see Rogue, I get giddy. Free win!
Thanks! I've been checking out some Inner Fire Priest deck and they're mostly cheap, slapped together a deck and it somehow worked, but I think there's still a lot of room for improvement. For the Druid deck, I can't afford all those legendaries unfortunately.
Hi GAF,
So I am sort of new to this game (started a month ago), can anyone help me with my druid deck? I don't have much dust to craft (90 to be exact). Is there any recommendation or advices on which card I should work toward and which one are to be replaced? Any opinion would be much appreciated.
I read some guide online but most of them are too expensive to craft. I feel like I am stuck between C'thun Druid and Token(?) Druid.

You want to pick one of the archetypes and work towards that. It's too much of a hybrid right.
Ditch Keeper of the Grove and Mark of Nature, double up on Azure Drake. All Cthun decks need double Disciple of Cthun and a single Twin Emperor (if you plan to keep the Cthun archetype).

I just figured out the best deck for this brawl.
Hunter. Double up on Wisp, Murloc Tinyfin, and Target Dummy. Mulligan agressively for them. Concede if you dont get Wisp or Tinyfin.
Turn 1: Leper Gnome (If you have coin, save it for turn 3)
Turn 2: Doomsayer
Turn 3: Hobgoblin + Wisp/Tinyfin + Coin Leper Gnome if you have it. Protect with Target Dummy if you can.
Turn 4: Twilight Summoner (gets buffed by Hobgoblin)
Turn 5: Princess Huhuran (get a free 5/5)
Turn 6: Highmane
Turn 7: Dr. Boom
Turn 8: Call of the Wild
Turn 9: Whatever
This beats out Secret Paladin and Astral Communion Druid.

Replace Mark of Nature, Keeper of the Groove, Soul of the Forest, Power of the Wild and Savage Roar with C'Thun's Chosen (2), Azure Drake, Disciple of C'Thun, Nourish, Mulch and Twin Emperor (alternatively Ancient of War). Tried to list them after importance/cost. As Dahbomb pointed out you should ideally aim to build a deck with more synergy. Half the deck is trying to flood the board with tokens (Violet Teacher) whereas the C'Thun cards are built around strong minions with a powerful finisher. By having both you're essentially handicapping yourself because both archtypes rely on some essential cards to function and you're less likely to see those in your deck.
So I went on a 30 win streak with this deck. If I had a single Wisp or Tinyfin in my opening hand, I never lost.
Something finally did me in, and that was an Alarm-o-bot that pulled a Tirion that returned via Redemption. Don't think you can do anything about an opener that insane.
Typically start with classic packs. I wouldn't buy expansion card packs until you start feeling like you are getting too many duplicates.
cool, cheers!
Woah, got The Beast from a quest pack, like the third pack from my previous leg. Now I've got Harrison & Bloodmage.
Still didn't kill him, right?
That's one way to deal with 30+ armor.

can you just go to wild ranked, your rank probably tank low enough to crush innocent soul
that what I usually does
Don't they stop giving you gold from winning three in a row in casual if you insta concede enough times in a row? I thought i read that somewhere.
Gave in and just searched the net for a deck, spent all disenchantment powder I had on making it and managed to finally get some wins in, got to Rank 16 which is a bloody great feat considering. Never even seen the tiny rank portraits you get after 19.
Then I've been on a loosing streak and I'm back to rank 20.

Lol it's ok man. Dusting a whole bunch of stuff to get that one deck then losing is a rite of passage.
Now you know dusting when you don't have a lot of cards is dumb.
Luckily it was dust I got from trashing all my Naxxramas and Gnomes and Goblin cards since they are now worthless. So not a total loss.
Edit: Fuck Mages and fuck C'thun players so fucking much and fuck that Druid I just met who won on turn 4 by bringing in tons of cunting 1/1 treants every round and some bullshit 3/2 druid I couldn't get rid of follow by a fucking +2 attack to everyone card. Fucking RNG dick.

Anyone watching Savjz? Most insane game ever.
Yeah that was really great. Shows how fun Hearthstone can really be when you get some non-meta decks up a against each other.
Rank 3 Priest should give some people hope.
Yeah aggro paladin isn't really a top tier deck, but it is decent for just starting out. Sadly the meta is hyper teched against token style decks: Druid, Mage, Warrior and even shaman running multiple AoE's can be a real pain in the ass.

Here's a clip: https://clips.twitch.tv/savjz/HomelyNarwhalOSfrog
Waiting for the complete game to be uploaded to YouTube. It's truly an all-timer. Savjz himself said it was the best game he's ever played.
Constructed stats on advantage going first or having the coin.

Interesting stuff. Way more balanced than arena it seems. More reliable weapons and spells is likely the reason i suppose.
Most aggressive decks still really want to go first.

The average is closer to 6% when you take into account relevant strong decks. Midrange Hunter, Aggro Shaman, Midrange Shaman, Tempo Warrior, Zoolock etc. all have 6% or above advantage going first.
Though still this is MUCH better than what's happening in Arena at the moment.
Yeah, when I first hit legend I was rank 1 and 4 stars and then went all the way back to rank 6. It was so freaking depressing. Eventually I clawed my way to legend.
Turns out the huge win streaks and loss streaks are a pretty natural part of the game.
My second opponent today was playing a slow ass Shaman. I LOL'd when he dropped an Elise Starseeker. He used the Golden Monkey on turn 8, so I wound up beating him through better board control.
It is amazing how often I am up against streamer decks while they are live.
Hey guys! It's card re-review time! PUTTING FOLKS ON BLAST
Dahbomb and I will be going back to examine our opinions as well as those of the pros for the Whispers of the Old Gods cards.
You can watch the stream on my twitch channel!

We'll be starting in just a few minutes. We're going to go through most of the set, and remember that this ALSO includes the opinions of fellow gaffers on the most underrated and overrated cards!

Just a shame Hotform is Canadian.
Hotform is an asshole. He missed lethal, got called out, spent ten minutes calling his chat idiots, and then went on reddit and spewed even more hate at his audience.
https://m.reddit.com/r/hearthstone/...ort=top&utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true
He deleted all his comments so you can't get the full picture but that was the day I went from a fan and viewer to someone who wouldn't watch his stream if it was the only one on twitch.
Same here. LOKs patron OTK deck is keeping me from being bored of this game even though I'm terrible at it. He pulled off some amazing comebacks with that deck and makes plays I never would have considered.
I just started watching a vod where he was playing that deck, with patrons, worgens, faceless manipulator, wild pyros etc. He ended up killing a Cthun warrior from 45 HP. Very fun to watch.

Man last two games in arena I've seen the biggest misplays of my life. First guy has a 12/11, hunter power and glaivezooka. I'm at 12 hp, and he trades. And then this second guy played like I do after I drink a 6 pack, he hit my ancestral spirit earth elemental with his 8/8, and then hexed it?
