As the title says, I'm searching for a viable deck to play on ladderwithout having the Solo Adventures. Any good tips / suggestions would be appriciated.
I don't have Naxx/BRM and have been playing ranked using a slower tempo-oriented mech mage build without secrets or Mad Scientist that has had a 56% winrate this season going 31-24 so far. Rank 15 and climbing. If you have a bunch of dust I would add Dr. Boom, that's my next upgrade when I have the dust for it.
It's certainly not the best, but I always feel competitive in basically every matchup, even if they run long, and it's a lot of fun to play. The obscene amount of removal lets you build a lot of tempo if you use it aggressively. It can also keep you in the game against decks loaded with legendaries if you spend the removal wisely.
Yeah, I've tried to do this, and it is basicly impossible. I'll buy the solo adventures pretty soon becuase of the super important cards
I have to agree. I'm doing the f2p thing on two servers and it's impossible basically. People always say this game is not pay to win - but don't be fooled - for a new player spending cash is really the only way to win.
Naxx is great for belchor, mad scientist, loatheb, and some class cards.
BRM on the other hand... Not a must have, unless you need the legendary dragons. Its really only good for emperor, control paladin and grim patron decks.
I created a 2nd account a couple of weeks ago. It's going to be f2p. I created it because a handful of friends started to play hearthstone and I wanted to play against them without them feeling like I was wrecking them because my main account has most of the top cards (and only 9 deck slots :-/).
So it's been maybe 16 days or so, and I am 2 paladin wins from unlocking the 2nd wing of naxx. You actually get quite a bit of gold initially, and the first 2 wings of naxx have pretty good staples. Haunted Creeper is an auto include in my current decks. I put Maexxna in decks that don't have a lot of good removal. Wing 2 will have sludge belcher and lotheb auto includes and web spinner for hunter.
Really, it isn't too bad. Lets assume you do the bare minimum every day. You clear your 40g quest and get an extra win. That's 50g. It takes you 2 weeks per wing. Slow, but not crazy slow. I do a little more than that. I play a lot of arena on my main account, and don't like to play arena on my phone, so my 2nd account gets all my phone play. I probably win 10-12 games per day and close out my daily quest. So that's like 80g/day. Or 8-9 days per wing. So I'm less than 2 and a half months away from having both adventures fully unlocked for free. Not bad for F2P. Then I'll just save up 3500 for the next one and then blow the rest on card packs.
Yes, that make sense, maybe I'll just start to save gold for the expansions. All in all, I've made an Oil Rogue deck, the only card I'm missing is Loatheb.
The more expansions that come out, the more harder it will become for f2p'ers. Right now, I think I'll try to unlock the 1st two wings in naxx with gold, since they have good cards.
Woah, woah, woah... The first wing of naxx is FREE?!
Oil rogue doesnt need adventures, some might say loatheb is a key card but it's the only adventure card you need & can easily be replaced with boom / assblade etc
There are a bunch of decks that don't work without adventure cards, like dragon decks (BRM 1-5), post-nerf Patron (BRM 1, Naxx 4), Tempo Mage (BRM 4), Zoolock (Naxx 1) or Renolock (LOE1).
However, if you otherwise have a decent collection, you should be able to pick most decks and just replace the adventure cards. Sylvanas for Loatheb in Oil Rogue is one example.
It's hard to give a general rule though, we'd have to look at the individual deck to see what makes sense. Hunter, for example, just plays Secrets from hand if you don't have Mad Scientist. Mage can use Kirin Tor Mage, and so on. Warrior will have to think very hard how to replace Death's Bite.
Hi Guys!

You can make a reasonable face hunter without adventure mode. Though I highly recommended getting the adventures when you can.
I'm asking this, 'cause I started to play Arenas on the NA server (I'm an EU player), and now I have enough dust / cards to create a decent deck.

I got to rank 8 with this paladin deck last season. Try it out if you already have 2 Coghammers.
Thanks for both of you guys! Unfortunately, Paladin is the only class I hate to play in HS, (so I never play it), but I' m gonna try that Mage deck!
At least get the first 2 wings of Naxx, and the first wing of BRM.
First wing of Naxx has Haunted Creeper and Nerubian Egg, while second wing has Sludge Belcher and Loatheb, as well as Duplicate and Webspinner for Mage and Hunter, respectively.
First wing of BRM has Emperor Thaurissan as well as Grim Patron, Gang Up, Resurrect and Quick Shot for Warrior, Rogue, Priest and Hunter, respectively.
If you can't get any wings at all, then you may have quite a few laddering troubles against the cards obtained in these wings especially.
That'll do, Huffer. That'll do.

save for adventures cause in the end 7 packs might be only 280 dust..
