Ranked is, by definition, competitive. If you are not able to spend money, you cannot expect to compete with people who have been building their collections for several years, not to mention you lack experience with this type of game.
Play Casual, complete quests, earn gold. Do Tavern Brawls to earn packs. DO NOT DUST YOUR CARDS TO BUILD FLAVOR-OF-THE-MONTH DECKS.
Your win rate in Casual will eventually settle at 50 percent, thanks to the MMR. That's a lot less painful than slamming your face against Rogue after Rogue on the ladder. By the time your skills are solid enough to compete, you'll have enough cards to make a deck that can survive in Ranked.
Just be patient and don't expect to become a world champion overnight.
That was not a new player. It was a very experienced player who started a new account to show off. I think it's important to mention that.
A new player should not be led to believe they can duplicate this feat or even come close.
