If a cheap deck don't have a chance vs an expensive deck this game become a pay-for-win, what is terrible, is very good HS is not like Magic or Yugi-Oh in this aspect.
You just need to practice and master the deck you're playing, adapt it to the meta. If you do, then you can succeed with either cheap decks or expensive decks, it doesn't really matter. Knowing how to play the deck is more important. Anticipate what your opponent will do, figure out how you'll respond to it, make strong tempo plays, don't have dead turns. It is of help if you played your opponents deck at least a bit, so you'd know what he'll do on the respective turn.
Random note, I think the most fun deck in the game is probably the most expensive, Astral Druid. It also is horribly inconsistent.
I just wanted to throw out there, last I saw Thijs he was 23-10 with Astral Druid
Not sure if you're agreeing or not, but Thijs is an amazing player, and that deck is still horribly inconsistent.
I'm agreeing :D, 33 games is a decent sample size, with the right meta the consistency might not matter as much (He hadnt hit legend yet, but he was actually managing to climb with it)
To show off your cards... At least that is the reason I play 20-25 legendary deck. (Sadly, half of them are from adventures; I am not rich enough to show off)
Argentum, everytime I see your post - it is kind of essay. (That's not bad) Pls no offence, but may be you'd better wright a book (about HS or smth else)? You may earn some money and let your talent (?) go further :) P.S. just a joke

Literally didn't even know people looked at the dust cost of decks. Who doesn't have all the cards at this point? I've had nothing to collect for years.
Blizzard doesn't care about old players. They want to cater to new players by making cheap, powerful cards over printing cards that require interaction. Otherwise it will be "too confusing for new players".
The fact that you think zoolock decks are dumb demonstrates your lack of understanding in how tricky piloting a zoolock deck is. It is arguably one of the most complicated decks to run, given the need to trade up efficiently, while still doing face damage and not letting your opponent last into the late game.
I dont see any point. I wasted so many cards and dust thinking expensive decks would perform well but I do way better with decks that cost next to nothing. Although I capped at 12 so Idk.
You dusted cards to make expensive decks? No wonder you're frustrated. Don't ever dust cards, unless they're duplicates. It's like throwing away money.

You lost sight of what the game is. Hearthstone is a Collectible Card Game. The whole point is to collect cards and battle other players using your collection. Most people who have spent effort and/or money to get more cards like to use them as they have more options. The mistake you made was believing this game is pay to win. The only thing you get from having more cards is more options. And if you don't, that's fine.
For example: See a deck list with, but have no Harrison Jones - use an Acidic Swamp Ooze. You don't draw any cards, but you can remove a weapon cheaper and earlier. Both cards have their positives and negatives although there being a high difference in cost.
The dust cost of a deck should not matter. Decks that are built well will do good whether they are cheap in cost or expensive. Unless you are jaleous of other people's collection, but that's your personal issue, not the games'.
Firebat says that build and master aggro decks is the most difficult thing. I can't give you a source but he was speaking about this in the first week of WoG.
My little cousin says that Candy Crush was one of the hardest games ever in its time. I think that resumes pretty well Firebat's point of view.
I don't know your cousin, but I follow Firebat for some time now and my opinion is that he is one among 4 Hearthstone pro that have a real knowldge of the game. So ok you want to do the big boy here, I understand this but I'm not really interested in your opinion because you're rude and you don't have any reputation in the Hearthstone community.
Do you think that's rude? Firebat doesn't belong to an altar, there are better and much more innovative HS players, and in terms of knowledge of the game, Firebat is pretty low in that compared to other streamers. And being the Justice Warrior of aggro players shows how biased and subjective his opinion is. Aggro decks have always been cheap, effective, low-time consuming, novice friendly and thus, are easy to pilot. Is simple as that.
Getting offended by that, and showing it here doesn't contribute in anything to the discussion. Do you think I'm the big boy? FIne. I don't care how you feel. However, if you are not capable of disagree with others and show respect to their opinions, this is not a site built for you.
I got offended? I stated that you're a rude person, probably you don't get it because you feel normal to speak in a depreciative way towards people you don't know. I don't care how much you feel normal to behave like this, if you reply to me I say what I see, that you're a rude person, pure and simple. Then, in your shoes, I wouldn't speak about contribute, because you joined this post trying to make fun of others opinion and you continue to do the same. I don't see sharing, an idea nor one little argument you added to this discussion. So whatever dude you're pointless.
