For a while I would buy one pack at a time in order of newest to oldest, but with standard format I'm not even buying classic packs anymore. Is there a better way of buying packs in order to maximize fleshing out your collection?
The best thing you can do is to get Classic Packs until you have all the collection of classic card, and when you own all of the you should buy the new packs, because Classic Card are going to be in the Standard forever.
But if they're going to be in standard forever shouldn't i just keep getting expansion packs and just get the classics from tavern or crafting?
No, because you will expend the gold in the expansion packs that will give you cards that will be only played 1 year, which means that all the gold that you would have spend on those packs will disappear. I think that is better to get all the Classic Packs until you have the full colection and just craft the playable card from the expansions.
If you ask me, you should focus on the newest packs when they are released and then slowly get back to classic packs. It will be better in the long term considering that brawl/spectate quest packs are classic.
Use a collection spreadsheet to find out how many good cards you still need from each expansion. Stop purchasing packs when you have <20% to get a card you want from a given pack in that expansion. In general, I'd focus on the expansion in which you're missing the most crucial cards.

Seriously though, arena is what will grow your collection fastest. I earn about a legend worth of dust every 1-2 weeks and I don't even think I'm infinite.
