Hey guys, I am a fairly new player, been playing since 3 weeks before the release of kft. i have been grinding daily quests and increasing my collection(i am not f2p anymore as i did buy the knc pre-order, but i cannot spend alot, planning to only buy pre-orders and grinding).
Anywaz, as i didn't have any high tier decks and was just learning the game, i have never been able to make it above rank 12 till date. I am currently playing the secret hunter deck by spark and am on rank 15 with very few losses. I do have budget deck versions for rogue, pally, warlock and mage so that i can complete most of the quests and re roll them if i get quests for other classes(also reroll for 50g and 60g quests).
My problem is that i don't have a solid deck yet but i do have around 5k dust and around 4-5 legendaries and epics from old gods and msg which together goes to about 9k dust. i also lack many of the must have cards used in many decks such as patches and the pirate package to name a few of em. i have enough to craft a deck but some on my friend's list recommend to not craft anything yet, keep grinding and wait for the next expansion as there will be a major change with the rotation and all the cards from the last 2 expansions will have their true value figured out by then. While others ask me to craft decks that don't use any of the old cards such as the spiteful dragon priest.
what do you guys think.? would love to hear your opinion?
You should wait! Do not dust anything right now as nerfs were just announced and the hall of fame will be soon after that! Save all of your gold for the April expansion. Use extra dust to craft what you need from previous expansions after the meta settles around May 1. The best use of your dust will probably be for Death Knights and other legendaries/epics. Try to do your best with what you have for now.
go play wild, u can craft anything there. 3k dust deck is just as viable as 13k one
I agree with this. you can make a lot of viable wild decks for quite cheap. most of the core aggro/midrange cards that are really good are common/rare and work for multiple classes. I get to rank 5 most seasons with token/silver hand paladin that only uses 2 legendary in tirion/tarim that can improve just about any paladin deck on their own and only 6 epics, 2 of which can be replaced. The deck is a little weaker right now with all the cubelock that seem to have taken over the meta, but i still do decently as long as they dont have defile AND hellfire. secret/aggro freeze mage is good and only requires the legendary weapon and maybe corridor creepers/glyph for epics if you go that route.

hey thank u so much for replying. ill surely follow your advise.
Depends if you see decks which speak to you, which you're really yearning to play, and what you're thinking of crafting. There are budget decks, and then there are decks which just aren't too pricey.
With Patches, I'd probably hold off if you haven't already crafted him, but maybe not. The point of the game is to have fun. If you think you'll have more fun with Patches in your deck, knowing that Patches won't be usable in Standard in around 3-4 months, well, who am I to say "wait, wait." If you plan to disenchant him in April, maybe 1200 dust is a fair price for the fun you'd have playing with Patches in the meanwhile. You've played against him, and probably have a sense of it.
I mean, there'll always be a next set. There will always be something to wait on.
However, a lot of this depends on the decks. There are decks with very little which is rotating in April. There are others which possibly won't work. It's the kind of thing where knowing what specific cards you'd craft is handy.

You asked about potential nerfs, well, Corridor Creeper is likely.
There are some folks who never dust any 3+ copies of cards, on the off chance that they'll get nerfs and will refund full dust later, but that's a small amount of dust, and to me it's not worth the inability to just hit the disenchant button to get rid of my extra copies of stuff. Whenever Blizzard has nerfed anything yet, they've provided full dust refund. If you've got 3 or more copies of that card, you'll get more dust if you wait until it gets nerfed.
When Hearthstone was still in earlier testing, before even the Naxxramas expansion came out, nerfs were fairly common. The developers didn't have as strong a sense of how things should be costed. However, nerfs have been more rare since then. A few a year.

I would wait for the rotation. Definitely don't craft anything that will rotate.
