Trade only? : yes, you go first.

Ive only been playing for less than three months. Got one with a Get in Here Bundle. I wish they were still available!

Oh crap. I've got none of the suped-up druid cards. Might end up packless from this one.

 I take that back. Won my first game, used hunter beasts+spells against a control mage. Thought I did pretty well, was on the draw and opponent popped out a mana worm turn 1. He kind of axed himself playing control spells, gave me an opening the first turn my minions weren't frozen.

I think luck shined upon me this game. Don't think I'll push my luck playing this brawl any more.

North Sea Kraken will destroy the wild meta!

Well, that was a bit of a shock. Went to play wild ranked and accidently had this deck selected. Opponent has Arthus portrait (which immediately earns my respect). Baku says G'day. I'm on the draw. I thought, why not see how I go.

Never hit Acidmaw, but this deck slaughtered odd paladin!

Ah, I remember TGT and Acidmaw in particular. My first three legendaries from that set were Acidmaw; at least the third one was golden!

 Haha! And this is why I choose not to disenchant! I can't see myself cracking any more TGT packs, but Acidmaw has been sent to the back of the wild herd. Either his time will come again, or he will sit their drooling, wishing he could only cost 4 mana or so.

 I can't really speak to the deck because I've already completed TLK with all nine classes and I don't own Acidmaw. However, I can talk about the part I've quoted: the answer is Yep, you most certainly can defeat him with the budget Scavenging Hyena deck, and Yep, it can require "an incredible amount of restarts and headaches". The strategy relies entirely on everything going your way 100%, so no Obliterate, no major Sludge Belcher roadblocks, etc. You might get it in one try, or it might take 100; it personally took me two hours and 60 restarts. Despite how much of a pain it is - and it's a serious pain in the ass - people use it because it's a very cheap deck that's guaranteed to work. You can beat The Lich King with nothing higher than Common-tier...eventually.

 Sounds about right. I don't quite have all the commons required, and also feel dirty crafting commons unless I really need to. I don't think I have the patience to keep restarting. Maybe for 20 minutes, but I'd probably throw my phone in the trash if I kept going for hours!

molten giant is the mvp vs the lich king as hunter/warlock/mage.

 I'm yet to crack me a Molten Giant. I'm also yet to defeat the Lich King as warlock or mage. Might hold off until I score one. That said, I do have Glinda, could make for a brutal turn 7. Or can the giant obliterate The Lich King well before then?

After purchasing some old packs (for the 1/10 legend) I was a little underwhelmed with my very first hunter legendary: Acidmaw. Anyways, I didn't disenchant him. You never know when he might be useful, right? If the answer was to remain 'never', I decided he'd have to sit up the back of my wild collection, constantly drooling green sludge, while other beasts got to enjoy smashing my opponent's face.

Then today, I decided to have another crack at the Lich King; this time, with hunter. I put together a deck that loosely followed the budget Scavenging Hyena setup. It sucked. Majorly. I mean, is it really possible to beat him with a pair of hyenas by turn 7? Maybe. Probably with an incredible amount of restarts and headaches. After a couple of attempts, I thought I'd get the green slobberer, Acidmaw, into the deck. It worked alright, but needed tweaking. As soon as I tweaked the deck to play off his strengths, I won first attempt. Not sure if it's that simple every time, or if he is wildly known as a great card to use in this battle, but I thought I'd share.

I'm sure this deck could be improved, but hopefully it can help anyone who's yet to defeat the Lich King with Hunter. And happens to have Acidmaw. Here it is:

I've only been playing since late April. Managed to hit rank 9 last month. Not sure if I should set a similar goal, or aim for rank 5. I'd be pretty stoked to hit rank 5 this month, to be honest.

 I can only see wild play being accessible in Ranked and Unranked ladder play.  Other than challenging friends, that's all the wild access there is right?

I was beginning to think there was wild arena, wild brawl, wild daily quests....

 No, but that'd be rad! Wild has awesome adventures, and sometimes wild cards are accessible in brawl. I, personally, find wild more fun. Even though I win more in Standard. I feel the decks are more varied and unique in wild. You don't see the class your up against and instantly know what deck your opponent is playing.

Quote from azairvine >>

 Wait, what - there's a whole 'nother  world of adventures etc in Wild?  I assumed it was just for constructed?  I need to check that out so I understand it properly.  I've only spent money in NA and I won't be spending any in the others.  They're just for the dailies, arena, and to maybe try a few little strategies here and there.  I've got PLENTY of time at the moment, but no not enough time to set targets and hit them in three regions.

 Sure is. Can only be purchased with real money, through the blizzard.com store. Well worth it.

Wild is a lot more fun. You never know what kind of deck you'll go up against!

Not sure what kind of player you are, but I, personally, don't like disenchanting my legends. I'd just build a deck with what you've got, give it a few runs in casual, and see how it goes.

Who knows, you might crack something in the next set that goes with it amazingly.

I just cracked Archmage Arugal. Dreadful with my current cards, but can definitely sense a use for him down the track!

Oh man, scored a DK Rexxar from the operative! I so love that card!

Cheers for the pack, Dog. Free stuff is always good!

Sounds like you're on a similar track as myself. I started on NA, cracked into EU to see what I scored, then started spending a bit on NA and simply doing dailies on EU.

I think it's better to simply play on one server, especially after putting in a bit of cash. If you want a pool of legends, wether to dust or use, on the cheap, go wild. The adventures give you an amazing pool (if you want to play wild) of cards, legendary ones too.

Also, I purchased 7 packs of each older set through the Blizz store. The pitty timer is 10, but I managed a legend from each purchase. Old Gods also gives you a C'thun when you open your first booster (so 2 legends in first 10 packs!).

I'm happy playing wild, it's where most my legends live! But if I dusted them, I'd be able to craft quite a bit!
