It already is

Hehe

think it's time for the reveal :p

For regular- (classic + gvg)
There's 53 legendary cards, 126 epic cards, 236 rare cards and 268 uncommon cards. The crafting costs for normal cards are 1600 legendary, 400 epic, 100 for rare and 40 for uncommon. So that's 53*1600, 126*400, 236*100 and 268*40.

Which means - 84800 for the legendary, 50400 for epic, 23600 for rare and 10720 for uncommon.

Totaling in 169520.

This excludes Gelbin Mekkatorgue and Elite Tauren Chieftain, these add another 3200 dust.

So total normal = 172720 dust.

For golden (classic + naxx + gvg + brm)

There's  64 Legendary, 130 Epic, 266 Rare and 334 Uncommon. The crafting cost for Golden cards is 3200 for legendary, 1600 for epic, 800 for rare and 400 for uncommon. Therefor 64*3200, 130*1600, 166*800 and 334*400

That's 204800 for the legendary, 208000 for the epic, 212800 for the rare and 133600 for the uncommon.

Totaling in at 759200.

Combine those two together, and the total crafting cost for a full collection is 931.920 dust.

Which means after TGT we'll be over a million :)

 Therefor DynamischerDiskord with 931.920 was indeed correct :)

Power of Chaos came closest with his guess of 850.000. :)

(edit: small typo, it's 266 rare cards for the golden collection, not 166)

p.s. I am right to say you cannot craft golden Gelbin // ETC ? Else add 6400.

Quick, someone get 4 copies of every card so we can figure out with the dust button!

If you could disenchant your entire collection with the push of a button, I'm pretty sure there'd be a lot of people complaining on the blizzard forums right now :P

BHTrix I just wanted to give a shout out and say thank you for the spread sheet. It is very helpful in trying to decide between whether to do an arena run or just buy card packs.

Thanks

 

 

 u2! thanks!

Oh noes, this is so horrible!

awesome bro,

I do think, unlike cenarius, that grommash is a pretty important card for control warrior, together with shield slams, dno if you have those.

good luck!

if you are concerned about the cancerous aggro meta, Id go with druid. nothing pisses off a face hunter or mech mage like a taunt druid :D

I have to say, I enjoy beating facenoobs most with millrogue, and then just gang up them antique healbots.

For Rogue I would consider Bloodmage Thalnos.

Other great legendary cards are The Black Knight, Sylvanas and Ragnaros

Here is a pro tip.  Next time attack with one of the tiny 2/2 taunts Cenarius puts up, or one of the minions Cenarius gave +2/+2 to.  Whenever a trap is up you run a small minion into it, you don't run massive 8, 9, 10 mana creatures.

It's besides the point, ofc you use the little ones, unless they are not on the board.

The point is that Freezing Trap is essentially an assassinate (5 mana cost) or any other large removal for that matter, for only 2 mana when it's played on a turn where a big creature is played. It forces you to -not use- a minion you played.

Also, it's a bit silly because you can't give yourself 11 mana by using coin .... you can give yourself 10 mana, or first use a mana and gain an extra mana... but you can't get 11 mana, so why would there be minions that cost 11 mana?

To me it's not so much being punished for playing badly, as it is, freezing trap punishing you for playing a large minion.

I say 200k dust :P... pure random answer to be honest. What do you think? Or have you already made the calculation?

P.S After thinking on it for a little bit more than 10 seconds I decided I should change my answer to around ~700K dust...

The ultimate - long term goal - would be to buy the tgt packs (value)

Then afterwards, use my spreadsheet to determine which packs has the highest chance to get you new cards.

Focus mainly on GVG/TGT since classic packs are obtained through quests and tavern brawl.

DO NOT CRAFT ANYTHING. Until, you can craft ALL remaining cards for a set (GvG or TGT prefered for above reason)

Craft all the cards, rinse and repeat until you have a full collection.

Thank you very much for your suggestion and spreadsheet.

However, the biggest concern I have is that by buying the TGT packs, how can I determine what to DE to make dust for crafting when none of them have been tried in-game by more experienced players like you?  If I buy the TGT, say I get lucky and get 50 rares, aside from the extra copies, I wouldn't know if I should DE them or not, and hence not getting any dusts from the packs!

For newer players, while getting the "theroetically" good cards from TGT is nice, but what to do with the unknown cards?  DE them anyways?  But then this discount is one of a lifetime and that extra 10 packs (not the card back imo) is surely tempting!

The real point is that classic packs are free, and you'll get an average of 1.5 a week through spectate game quest and tavern brawl - where as all the other packs are not freely obtainable like this - so sure, it will take longer to get a decent collection - but it'll be cheaper to do so.

You can choose to get a good collection quicker - but in the long term it will end up costing you more money / time.

So, short term, if you want to have decent decks quickly, go for which ever pack has the highest chance on obtaining useful cards, which in your case seems to be classic, since it's impossible to say how many cards of TGT are going to be useful.

Long term, get the TGT, don't worry to much about getting a high rank (there's no benefit to it anyways) and get your classic packs weekly by doing the spectate quest if you get it, and the tavern brawls.

Sure, you won't know which cards are good and which are bad when the expac get's released, it might take a while actually, probably a month or two. But after those two months you'll have more dust than if you would buy the classic packs. Do remember, those 50 packs are going to have plenty of duplicates. So you'll probably end up with at least some dust!

I just can't stress this enough though -  all the classic packs you buy now, in 2 years, when you have all the classic packs, is going to drop the value of your free tavern brawl and spectate packs by SO MUCH! Essentially - no more new cards, just dust.

Thanks again for your insights.  Since I am going to consider playing the game long term, I am sold.  ^^

Can help other then warlock decks to pump out murlocs, cause u dont need to draw a lot of cards, just use your hero power. Also since murlocs are buff oriented tribe, 0 attack aint such a big problem for this guy :)

Hope u like the little cutie :D (btw the shredder value!!! :D)

/edit: hey, the attachment aint mine lol :D no idea how it got here, but its submission #16 ... free advertising for him i guess! :D ... ok mods were able to delete that, i couldnt lolz ...

Oh... Haha. I'm so dumb! ;) I misread your instructions. RTFM, right?

It's very simple! Download the document in your prefered format. You got a card? Select the box and hit backspace, deleting all the content in the box. The numbers will automatically update.

Anyways. Thanks a lot for your help. Amazingly friendly of you that you actually changed the spreadsheet for me.

BHTrix I just wanted to give a shout out and say thank you for the spread sheet. It is very helpful in trying to decide between whether to do an arena run or just buy card packs.

Oh no, how tragic. Face hunter isnt easy to win with anymore? you poor thing lol

I support Mister_Smith's response. He wasn't trying to brag, but simply show the lack of thought of OP's post. What reaffirmed my beliefs was when OP edited his post: "In my opinion the mana cost increase of freezing trap (courtesy of Mister_Douchebag)...". That is completely petty and uncalled for.

The OP might just be new to the game or just habitually started calling it ice trap. It didn't seem fair to me to judge a perfectly valid thread based on that alone. It sounded belittling to me. In any case, there's no point in dragging this out. I don't agree with insulting anyone based on the responses here, so I at least agree with that part of what you're saying. 

Here is a pro tip.  Next time attack with one of the tiny 2/2 taunts Cenarius puts up, or one of the minions Cenarius gave +2/+2 to.  Whenever a trap is up you run a small minion into it, you don't run massive 8, 9, 10 mana creatures.

If you want to discuss a card at least remember it's name. How are we supposed to take you serious if you confuse Freezing Trap with Ice Trap?

Thanks for being constructive and nice and stuff. What's up your ass?

Agreed. "Ha one of the words you used was slightly off, let me belittle you with my superior hearthstone knowledge!"

He's always like this, let him live.
