Though I've been playing for years, I decided to start a new account and play as a free-to-play.

Through the years, the community of players have been bashing the developers and complained about a lot of things. "Salty" was a word that repeated itself.

Now, I thought to share the surprisingly positive experience I had as a "new player". 

- The rank 40 matches is genius. So much fin playing "basic and simple" Hearthstone games. 

- The collection you start with is large, includes many legendary cards, and many good ones too.I remembers my experience in past years, and how toiled to craft some of these cards that are now given for free :)

- The auto-complete deck option actually provide you decent decks for the cards you have, with synergies, across classes. 

- The cards you "discover" as you rank up your classes, are actually useful, and the fact you "right of the bat" achieve rewards in the "experience map"  is adding to the fun. 

- Players you play against are actually nice and fun to play against. Win or lose, you don;t feel "salty" because of some toxic over-powered deck that was played.

All and all, a fun experience entering into the game. A difference of night and day comparing to even five or four years ago. 

Thanks for the tips, I’ll open new account today and stay F2P. Let’s see what will happen

OK,

So this is the third I am going to start this game a fresh, right from the beginning, as a F2P (too long of a story).

My first time to climb fast as a F2P, was with Zoolock and concede Shaman (long long time ago).

My second time was with beast hunter and Reno Priest (long time ago).

What is the best cheep F2P deck out there this time? 

Thank you for your help :)

Thank you all for your comments. HS it is.

So, in general HS takes most headlines in this website, but what is the ACTUAL most popular game among this website users? 

New Negative record: 40 packs, 1 legendary, Decimator Olgra

And as usual, no interesting cards for priest.  Either more of the same, or meme- level cards.

Why bother with test subject? You can easily accomplish this with Sethekk Veilweaver or Nazmani Bloodweaver, or even both. Playing 12 spells by turn 3-4 isn't exactly all that hard for priest, especially after a Palm Reading discount, so you dont necessarily need the Radiant Elemental either.

I dont have list for you, but you can start by looking out the old rally priest from the previous meta before rotation. Add in some good spells like Embalming Ritual and it should be good enough.

Thank you! I will give it a try.

Nazamani lists are too slow. With the Test Subject you can start endlessly drawing as early as turn 2 (with a coin) or 3 (without a coin).

So, I had the very simple idea for a giant spell priest:

It revolves around the following infinite card draw machine:

1) You play Test Subject

2) Than you drop Radiant Elemental

3) Now you are ready to pull endless amount of cards and discount spell giants by applying  on the Test Subjectthe following:

Embalming Ritual => Power Word: Shield => Topsy Turvy.

I tried different variations of deck lists, but could not find one that works. Any suggestions?

The drawing combo:

Power Word: Shield

Topsy Turvy

The Cards You want to Discount:

Any addition, edition, contribution, suggestion or any other “tion” will be appreciated.

They will not touch any of the expensive cards, so they will probably raise the mana cost of Switcheroo

As someone who always does it, let me tell you, don't do it.

On the other hand, I never listen to my reason, and here to have fun, so what's stopping you? :)

That was such a fun deck to play with. 

miced results, you will find it hard to win against control druids and warriors that tank themselves with armor, but it was a fun experience nonetheless.

Thanks for the deck!

Thank you all for commenting. 

so, should I dust the warrior quest line or keep it for now? 

Hi,

Saw there were some nerfs to Warrior and Hunter. 

What is the state in wild now? Are hunters and Warriors as powerful as they were?

Thank you for helping!

It had been a while since I built or posted a decent wild deck. Hope to answer the call and post something soon. 

That was kind a helpful, thanks. I usually play wild, but didn't know that the next expansion is that close. 

Hi,

I am about to craft a legendary demon, and was thinking of Tickatus. That got me thinking:

1) Usually I am crafting the wrong card, so wanted to know if anybody is playing the dude?

2) On HSreplay he is performing lower than I expected, why?

3) With this big boy on the list, why distruptlock doesn't see a comeback?

Any thoughts?

Thanks for sharing :) 

Just wanted to know if any other player is having the same problem:

Ever since the new update, I cannot make any progress in any of my quests, I don't get any new "bounties". Tried to refresh my quests, I have even cancelled the Mercenaries special quests, but nothing works. 

Any suggestions?
