I am a 17x Legend Player with 2x Top 100 finishes who goes by the battletag WingsOfWax or WingsOfWaxIII on other social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, Twitch, and YouTube). I have over 15+ Years of Magic: The Gathering Experience, but as of the release of Hearthstone: Beta been converted to this new and exciting card game.
Over the past year, I have been creating videos, articles, and casting live streams to help educate newer players about Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft. As of right now, I am mostly known in the Hearthpwn.com community for creating a Naxxramas + 2,000 Dust Budget Guide 11 Deck series as well as putting Burst Rogue back into fruition.
These days I am working full time, go to school, and still create Hearthstone content whenever I find my schedule allows it. I love educating all types of players whether new or veterans about becoming a better strategy card gamer. I am creating this guide (and others) to help educate and grow the Hearthstone Community even further.
Introduction to my YouTube Channel!
Lately off stream I have recently started up a brand new guide series for Newer/Budget Players looking to get into Hearthstone Ranked. I want to help encourage newer players to learn this game and grow with it rather than feel like they are too far behind to become competitive. If you understand the matchups and can pilot these decks reasonably well, you have an extremely high chance of reaching High Ranks or even Legend depending on your Goal!
As I said, I only recently started this series of guides, but intend on creating more content over the next few weeks. All of these deck lists and guides will include Mulligan/Opening-Hands, Play-Style, Card Explanations, Upgrades/Downgrades, Honorable Mentions, Tips/Tricks, and Video Content to help ease your transition into gameplay. On top of this, I will also be offering links inside each budget deck to a "Finished" (non-budget) deck list that you may work towards if you are enjoying the class/deck and find yourself with a growing budget.
How I determine my "Budget"
I did not want to restrict my budget this time, so I tried to build a deck as cheap as I think I could while still making it competitive. There are added Upgrades & Downgrades to each guide/deck so you can figure out what changes you can make depending on your own personal collection.
All Standard (Kraken) Budget Guides, Decks, and Videos:
Interested in learning more? Feel free to stop by my Twitch Stream and subscribe to my YouTube, in which I'll either be playing Ranked mode with a variety of decks.
Can clearly see that you have put a lot of effort into this. And the result is great! One of the best guide writers I've stumbled upon in here. Appreciate the work! Keep it up mate.
I actually enjoy the guides, but it would be nice also to have the "Non-budget version" of the decks somewhere as a deck list, with a mirror description. Sometimes it gets confusing when I want to use the expensive version.
These have proved helpful, thanks. I'm still not where I want to be (I'm struggling with the pace of the mage deck, I don't think I'm aggressive enough), but these have given me a good starting point that I didn't have my first 3 months of playing.
