Great feedback, I think dust might be a better way to calculate how much you really still need. So I added a dust line below the total card line calculating the amount of dust required per rarity, total and a percentage of total dust for both classic and gvg.

Great to hear :) Glad I could help!

I really like the Feug & Stalag idea. Works great obviously with Duplicates, thanks, I'll add it to the guide!

Ok, so yeah, I have a full time job, have 2 kids, a wife, and many other thing going on in my real life.  Is my success the whole reason why I can't accomplish anything in online gaming?  I used to be real good, but it seems that I am getting worst every day.  I don't know if it's cause I have more "real life responsibilities", or if I'm just not keeping up on times.  I have taken a liking to "Hearthstone" cause it is a game I can participate in without having to dedicate my livelihood to.  I just can't grasp this whole concept of card gathering to be supreme.  How am I, or anyone, supposed to compete on a normal level with people who dedicate their entire life to this?

As per your question,
Simple, you can't. It's like trying to beat an athlete in the 100 meter sprint. He trained for it all his life, all his waking moments. You simply can't beat all that practice and experience.

Sure you can build a good deck but that's not really what hearthstone is about. Hearthstone is about the meta, and knowing what works against the meta, learning to identify the meta you're in and adjusting. There's a lot of experience required to really understand how this works. And that's just for laddering, after laddering there's tournaments and that's just an entire different ballgame. There you do not fight the meta anymore but individual opponents that tweak there decks to defeat YOU personally, which you have to counter tweak and... wooooo :D

Personally I'm not too bothered anymore with getting to the highest rank, I wanted to be a legendary starcraft 2 player years ago, but it had nothing to do with my passion for the game, I like starcraft but not that much. I just wanted to be one of the best. I can't imagine myself growing old as a starcraft 2 pro, I personally don't think that would make me very happy.
I have other dreams though and I'm doing my best to follow them, to unwind I love playing a videogame or two,
but knowing I'm not doing it to become the best anymore shifts the focus from competetive long term play to being competetive in the moment verus my current opponent, and just enjoy that. I think that's where true satisfaction in gaming lies.

edit: so yeh, just try to become competetive at the level that you're at and don't worry about the immediate future. When your experience and card collection grows so will your level of competiveness, just try to enjoy the experience.
That's all I can say from my perspective and I hope it helps you in some way.

You're welcome to do it better.

You sure you weren't playing against a friend testing it out? ;)

Thank you for sharing!  Using it. Found some small typos you may want to know about.

BloodKnight = Blood Knight

Hemit Nesingwary = Hemet Nesingwary

BTW:  Adding dust total was a bad idea. I was thinking I had a decent collection until I saw how much dust I need to complete it!  OUCH!!!!  :) :)

 May be a good idea: Subtotal for each classes.  You have to look at two places to find how many cards you're missing for a particular class.  Basically, adding 9 lines with total for GvG +Classic, so you know how many cards you're missing for each classes.

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I think I've tried this dozens upon dozens of times with that popular hunter deck (but I don't have Leroy Jenkins, so maybe that was my problem), the popular mage deck, a druid deck, and even a warrior deck. This deck only took me 4-5 tries! I used the Stalag/Feugen option because I don't have Pyroblast, but I didn't end up needing them. I was down to 1 health, but I did it! Kudos to you and your masterful explanation of the strategy. I think that's what made the difference here. The deck is good, but the strategy is amazing.

I"m thinking less Defender of Argus + Nerubian Egg and more Harvest Golem + Sludge Belcher which do better on their own despite having deathrattle and with Flametongue Totem.

Thanks a lot! I won with this deck on the first try. I made a few changes though:

-1 Ice Barrier +1 Ice Block I happend to win because I had iceblock into pyroblast this is why I replaced it.

-1 Pyroblast +1 Leeroy Jenkins Since you don't need the extra 4 damage from pyroblast and it's cheaper.

-2 Nerubian Egg +2 Mad Scientist Personal preference.

I was having a hard time with the popular Hunter deck for this fight but this one worked well.  I finally got it after 4 or 5 tries.  :D  I finished with 2 Thaddius but I did not need to.  I just did it because I had an Ice Block so why not.  I potentially could have been in trouble though bc he was going to Blizzard them but I counterspelled (I had lethal without them though anyways).  I drew pretty well getting Blizzards and Flamestrikes when needed.  You need to be strategic when killing the minion that kills his neighbors...like you might wait a turn to kill him etc.  Duplicate reckless is clutch.   

* changes I made - took out the 2 Arcane Ints, 1 pyro /  added 1 Ice Block,  Feug & Stal

 I'm thinking mad scientist instead of arcane intellect might mess up your duplicates.   I'm going to try 2 ice blocks and report back or maybe 1 ice block, 1 Thalnos.  Feug & Stal for round 10 would be the dream so you get 2 Thaddius' but that might be too much late game.  32 dmg potential the next round with a pyro though.  :D

Was having such a hard time. Thanks for the guide, squeezed through with Thalnos and one less Pyroblast. :)

Awesome deck. Beat it second try with a few small modifications.

I found that double Ice Block was necessary to survive that spell that hits you for 8-10. It saved my butt and essentially bought me another turn. Instead of rushing to the face, I just spent the whole game controlling the board until Sapphiron had no more minions. To this extent, Coldlight Oracle beats out Arcane Intellect since Sapphiron will now have more minions to play down that will consequently get destroyed by your AOE spells. Having another Blizzard was invaluable and I didn't even end up having Pyroblast in my deck. A duplicated wolfrider (twice over) allowed for the whittling down of opponents that couldn't be killed by the AOE spells.

All around fantastic build. +1

hey danke für den guide hat super funktioniert hab ihn first try gelegt damit
