Don't listen to this guys. Even paladin is not a thing anymore and quest warrior is playable but far from being one of the best decks.
Best decks con ladder atm are: maly druid, taunt druid, token druid, even warlock, cube warlock, odd rogue, spell hunter. Some other decent decks are: odd paladin, even shaman, shudder shaman, quest warrior, "deathrattle" hunter and i'm probably missing a few but u get the general idea. If you like druid this is a good meta.
Looking at your collection, you've already got both legendaries you need for Spell Hunter, so that would be a cheap craft. Personally I like Recruit Hunter, but that would require some more crafts like Kathrena Winterwisp and two Charged Devilsaurs. The Devilsaurs are usable in other classes too though: I've seen both Druid and Priest decks use Carnivorous Cube + Devilsaur.
Since you like Druid, I recommend to craft Malfurion the Pestilent, two Branching Paths and two Ultimate Infestations and most decks you'll make with those cards will be good. Add two Wispering Woods and you can play the new style Token Druid. It plays very different from the aggro token Druid decks that existed before: it's not about putting in damage from turn 1 and finishing the game by turn 6, but about sticking a wide board once and then killing your opponent in one turn.
The Death Knight hero cards from Frozen Throne are pretty good, with the strongest currently being Bloodreaver Gul'dan, Frost Lich Jaina and Deathstalker Rexxar (Rexxar got a big boost when lifesteal and rush beasts were added to the pool). Rexxar goes into everything but Face Hunter at the moment, while Jaina is good in any control Mage deck, Big Spell Mage being the strongest at the moment. Gul'dan was everywhere before the recent nerfs, but both Control Warlock and Cubelock are still good, plus there is now Even Warlock to play with (not a control deck, but aggressive mid-range).
For Paladin, Murloc Paladin and Odd Paladin are the strongest right now; Even Paladin was very strong until Call to Arms got nerfed but is rarely seen today. Streamers like Kibler and Toast have been playing Quest Paladin with Lynessa Sunsorrow, which is still a bit of a meme, but a lot better since Zola the Gorgon and Sound the Bells! were added. The best craft would be Sunkeeper Tarim, who fits into every Paladin deck except Odd (where you have to get him from Stonehill Defender).
Burgle Rogue is actually playable now, with Tess Greymane and Spectral Cutlass; not a top-tier deck but it's good enough to win games and lots of fun if you enjoy putting randomly generated cards to good use.
If you prefer your games lasting at least 10 turns - shudderwock shaman, taunt druid, mill druid, devilosaur druid, mind blast control priest, quest control priest, even warlock, quest warrior, odd warrior, recruit warrior, ?recruit hunter?, big spell mage. I think it's safe to say you can reach at least rank 5 without too many problems.
If you like druid and craft taunt druid, you already have most everything you need for quest druid, which is very OP at the moment. It's starting to see use by players who aren't me, but PM me if you're interested in my (I think) superior version. It's been a consistent winner since KaC.
I mean. I'd say play Wild but that's not what you're looking for (for some stupid reason, Wild master race). What I would recommend is figuring out what deck sounds the most fun and seems like you'd enjoy, and craft it (then realize you hate it and craft Cubelock a day later). In addition to that, unless you're not enjoying the deck, don't stop playing it, just edit it along the way. If you adjust it to the meta, you'll be golden.
It really depends on what decks you like, though, which you should craft. I'd give my suggestions but I exclusively play Wild so they wouldn't be very helpful - if you DO get into it, I'd choose Aviana Malygos Combo Druid or Krulzakas Warlock - my two favorite decks of all time.
I did check warrior and you basically have all cards for a taunt warrior exept the quest and can go for variants there (maybe craft 1-2 blue cards). I made a more active version that plays well. I also have a Kaleidosaurus paladin that is alot of fun but expensive and i am not convinced it is good enough for ladder there odd paladin seem quite stable now. I mained paladin since Mean Streets but moved to warrior and shaman with Witchwood. You need to decide playstyle and class you like most then make two diffrent decks and play them to get better with them. 18k dust + what i did see is enough for a lot of decks just don´t be to hasty with spending ^^.
I play warrior and if i get frustated i put in some shaman games and constantly try to adapt a few cards to improve. Currently i try to fit tar creepers in my warrior deck to improve VS mages which are my main losses. Otherwise i only loose reliable to rexxar if he comes before i have the quest done. And be prepared you will loose a lot even if your deck is favored so don´t throw it after bad luck :-). I lost to taunt druid which i normaly just autowin. Bad luck and good play from my oponent made it.
Hi all!
I'm coming back to HS after not playing for almost 12 months. I'm only interested in standard decks. Was playing ladder mostly.
What would be your suggestion for decks to start with on ladder? I need some easy wins to get things going :)
I have 18k dust in the bank so I believe I could craft at least 3-4 nice decks considering my collection.
Any input is greatly appreciated, tyvm.
Even Paladin bites the dust after Call to Arms got slammed with a Nerf Hammer!
Pls man, don't misslead people! Or was it just a stupid joke?..
Here's a link to the best decks in Standard - you can click on the filters at the top of the page to get more detailed info.

The next set presumably launches in two months, so it might be a good idea to save some dust.
I’m crafting taunt druid for sure. Druid is my favorite class.
Would like nice paladin deck as well.
Odd is the way to go, and you pretty much only need to craft Baku the Mooneater and Corridor Creepers!

Your response is appreciated very much! Crafting as I type. :)

If you managed to get away from HS, best thing to do is not coming back. One day, I'll have the strength to break free as well, one day ...
