I would also like to clarify; I don't attempt to rank anymore after D5 as it's the least amount of effort, for the greatest reward. If I was to try, legend wouldn't be an issue with these decks with enough games.
However, I would like to add that these decks are very "aggressive", and not very fun to play if you enjoy quite interactive gameplay. I do agree that Blizzard tends to gate more "fun" decks behind a bigger paywall. It's weird as these cheaper decks also perform well, if not better than certain of those meta decks.
