What is the best deck for climbing ladder? For instance, which is the most consistent and shouldn't cost too much to craft. Im thinking about Demon zoo since i think it might be the best for ladder right now, i have everything except malganis. What do you guys think?
p.s - this is for me gaining knowledge on which deck to craft for ranked, thanks!
Without Malganis it is really weak I guess... I'm trying control war, oil rogue and demon zoo... But I suck and I'm stuck at rank 5-3 for almost a week now...

Malganis is definitely a huge card for zoo demon lock... Substitution with Kel'Thuzad... I dont know man.. :) I guess there is not a card to replace Malganis... maybe you can try little faster zoo deck without Sylvanas/Dr. Boom, maybe it will work... I'm playing just midrange version with these legendaries... so I can't tell ya.

Oh ok, so besides demon zoo, and hunter, what are some competitive and relatively cheap decks for climbing ladder? i dont expect to get to legend from rank 9 anytime soon, i just want something fun but also competitive. thanks for the replies :)
I don't think Leeroy Jenkins is mandatory if you don't have him, but the Coghammers are handy. Mech Shaman, Mech/Tempo Mage, and Patron Warrior are all relatively inexpensive.

That being said i can craft all of patron warrior, im just missing 1 frothing and 1 armoursmith and i have 300 dust. So should i go for it? will i be able to climb ladder from 9 (after practicing a lot ovecourse)
Ya patron warrior sounds good, i can craft every card (except garrosh but thats not needed in this deck) and i have exactly all of naxx and first wing of BrM :D

Patron Warrior is super strong, but also complex. There are lots of decisions to make.
I don't say that to scare you away from it. Just take your time, think through your plays, and take a moment after your games (win or lose) to see if you can identify things you could have done differently.
Most of all, have fun!

Patron War (0 obvious 1600-dust legendaries, viable versions for 700 dust and Nax + 1st wing BRM), Malygos Lock(1 obvious Legendary - Malygos, viable versions near 3000 dust), Budget Oil Rogue (without Thalnos and Cliff can be even cheaper than 2000 dust, but I would recomend to craft Thalnos) - all this are pretty cheap and pretty fun to play also.
Ya freeze mage and druid are my decks of choice to play but theyre too expensive :( Well actually druid is not too expensive for me but i dont think it is strong enough right now in the meta. Every druid i face i destroy and it hasnt shown great results for other people
midrange paladin is actually the deck im currently using which got me to rank 9, i have everything except the epics (quarter master and lay of hands, and the sylvanas and harrison. I do have tirion and boom and naxx and first wing of BrM)
I personally think grim patron is going to be too hard for me, i think i should go for zoo, i have everything for the demon zoo but without malganis i dont think it will be viable, maybe i can go for classic zoo but i think that lacks the punch in the current meta.
Mal'Ganis doesn't really have a replacement. Since he buffs other demons he gives you a huge advantage when he comes out - all the imp's from implosion count as demons and get the +2 / +2 buff, the various void demons (walker, caller, terror) get the buff, the doom guard gets the buff etc.
Kel'thuzad is a great card when it works - and fun too - but doesn't fill the same role
Mech decks are fairly cheap and there are various flavors depending on what cards you have. Tempo mage is also very strong right now and I wouldn't think that expensive (although the best versions have Archmage Antonidas which is a class specific legendary you may not have or want to craft).
If you wanna climb fast go for face hunter, mech mage or zoo. Grim patron is really strong but complex to learn. Midrange demon warlock with voidcallers and malganis is also good. If you wanna go controlish then handlock, control warrior and freeze mage which is super strong with emperor thaurissan now. Malygos warlock is really good too. If you wanna play some modrange then midrange pally, midrange hunter or midrange shaman are good choices.

oh ya im rank 9 by the way, and is malganis a make or break for the deck? or would kelthuzad or something replace him

The big appeal for Mal'Ganis is that you can cheat it out with Voidcaller, and that will sometimes just win you games.
You'll have to wait until turn 8 or later and pay full price for Kel'Thuzad, so I'm not sure it would be worth it.
Like Radarovic said, I'd probably go smaller/leaner so you can try to get the snowball rolling sooner without the late burst.

I personally think Aggro Paladin is a lot of fun. Here is the deck I use sometimes:

Mech Shaman decks are underplayed and relatively competitive. I enjoy playing them myself.
If you take a deck like this and tinker with it a bit and add in some tech cards to fit your style, you just may have some success.
