Drop the 5+ cost stuff. Mech rogue has to be played super fast. Id use jeeves x2 in place of sprint for draw. Id drop assassinate, it is too expensive for removal. Bumping up to a 2nd sap is better. Id put a 2nd deadly poison in there.

2 ass blades is absolutely 1 too many, and possibly 2 too many. Not clear what you should sub in tho

Yeah planning on crafting Jeeves when I can. Could add the 2/1 deathrattle spare parts 1-drop or harvest golems in place of some higher cost stuff. Or fan blades/shiv

Not sure i'd spend dust on jeeves. He doesn't go in any actual good decks

I think Iron Sensei lists have to run Target dummies. I'd swap demolisher for a spider tank/harvest golem.

OK

So I've casually grinded enough gold and got all the adventures done, all wings of Naxx/BRM. In the meanwhile I've just gotten all the Tavern Brawl weekly free packs, wouldn't say I've opened a lot of the key basic cards but I've got a few now.

What next? I feel like I still would not get very far in constructed given I have zero GvG or TGT cards. Arena seems like fun but I imagine I wouldn't do well building decks. Do I just pick a class and just start grinding it on ladder/unranked?

Play ladder. You don't need to push for legend right away. Just rank up and work on tweaking your decks with what you have now. Figure out which classes you like most and it'll guide your crafting decisions. I'd focus on just a few classes until you build a large collection. Use the gold you accumulate to play arena. Try using hearth arena to help you build decks.

play arena its the most fun game mode anyway and you will be able to grind out your collection much much faster than by playing ranked.
to help with deckbuilding i would advise you to use heartharena.
its a very powerfull tool that will even the playing field out a lot.

if you want to improve your arena game in general you can take a look at streams/vods by ratsmah, awcdta

I play this game for few weeks, I started with mage deck with basic card, ran hot and got to ranking 15 and soon went back to 20. I read a lot, watched streams and decided to make priest deck inspired by trump F2P challenge. I spent about 1000 dust to make it. I got to rank 15 again and again went to 20. I think people have better cards than me and skill level is pretty high too. My goal is to get to decent level with not spending any money, but if that is not possible what should I buy to get best value? Currently I have no gold and no dust and not that many cards to disenchant. I am lost at what to do now.

My deck:

Best thing to buy as a beginner are the expansions - Curse of Naxxramas and Blackrock Mountain. These give you guaranteed legendaries and cards. Full list of cards in each is given below. If you can only get one, get Naxxramas.

My deck:

The deck looks ok. Probably needs some tweaking as you collect more dust. It isn't unusual to have wild variance with decks like yours. You're playing a class that can get run over by aggro decks.

This is probably what you want to work towards if you're playing priest of the non-Dragon variety. The only card from Naxx you would use is Belcher. So it might not be necessary to shovel out cash for Naxx.

Right, if you're planning on sticking with Priest, you don't really need Naxxramas. But I was thinking he may want to experiment with with other classes and Naxxramas will give him a bunch of neutrals that can be put in a lot of different decks.

I spent all my dust for priest, it will take a long time to create another decent deck for other class. What rank is possible with my current deck, I might try to get to decks potential before investing money into game.

It's hard to give you an exact number for the possible rank with that deck. I'm not really sure what the meta is around rank 15 at the moment, but if you are playing vs a lot of secret paladins, it's going to be difficult to rank up since you don't have lightbombs and that's one of the key cards for Priest in that matchup. The problem with control Priest decks is that every card in the deck synergizes with other cards (lot of combos within the deck) so if you're missing some of them, it's going to set you back more than other decks. If you want some more in-depth discussion about Priest, you can check out the Priest thread. bobbo just made a big post that you might find helpful.

you're missing more or the less the best priest cards - a 2nd auchenai, cabal shadow priests, and lightbomb. I think playing 2 shadow madnesses without a shrinkmeister is a mistake

as far as how high this deck can climb... it probably can't hit legend. it has a bunch of weak spots that could def be improved. but suboptimal decks can reach rank 5, which is more or less the point where things get real.

hard to suggest what you should add without knowing a collection, but senjins and kraken should be the first cuts

Rank 15 around now you won't be seeing secret pallys for a number of reasons. 1) most of them are higher in rank, 2) it's not a cheap deck (not CW expensive either) but most run 2 mysterious + boom + tirion.

what you typically see after the first few days at rank 15 (I play near that rank on my F2P) is various mostly non perfected/non net deck decks that have holes. most decks can get pretty high no matter how bad they are but it's just going to take you more time to get there.

I feel like I've started seeing "real" decks at rank ~14. That being said, I'm rank 14 so idk what "real" decks are
Beginners Quote
10-23-2015 , 06:08 PM
well it's about half and half--half true solid net type decks and half weird/non perfected decks. usually they are missing one or two key cards.

at higher ranks you normally see the entire "net deck." in most cases maybe with a few variations.

My deck:

What deck is the easiest to play? I have a lot of trouble with mechanics of pyromancer, a lot of times i don't consider the effects it will have in time and make some suicidal plays. When there is a lot of cards you can play in a turn its hard to make most +ev play. I think I lost a lot more matches becouse of him then won.

I don't have experience to review my small collection and decide what deck to create. I have almost no rare cards and just one epic. Most non basics cards I have are for Warrior.

Face hunter is easiest to play, it's also pretty cheap to craft.

Newbie question: I have a 3/3 taunt on board. Opponent has a 2/1 and its my turn. Is it generally better to clear the opposing minion or go face? Does it mostly depend on class I'm facing? Are there other factors I should be considering I.e. my hand. Obviously if I have something like rampage there are benefits to damaging my own minion but looking for general feeling.

matters against the class you are going against and how much mana they have and how many cards they have.

against pally, it's normally best to clear--they have a ton of buffs/weapons same with shaman who has a totem to buff.

against mage, they have a ton of burn so it depends on the size of their hand and what they've used.

you are warrior? you typically have difficultly dealing the last bit of damage so sometimes it's better to clear small minions when you can (in comparison to druid/mage/rogue who can easily clear 1 life minions).

i normally clear but i play a ton of mid range/control.

to add to that....

If it's a hunter and it's a small beast like webspinner, you should clear if there's no traps up. With webspinners it is likely a freezing trap so I wouldn't trade in the situation of them having the trap up.
