Hi :)

 

- do you want to be good ladder player, reaching the acceptable rank every month, earning rewards and be

 I'm not the OP but I would like some general help in this field. I play NA so I'm afraid I'll have to ask for your advice on the forums. I've watched the (old) Trump videos and know a little about the game but that's all. I find I can get rank 16 but never across the hump. I know it's bad play and maybe a little bit of excitement of trying to get to 15 where I can't drank again. What are general tips you would suggest?

Some general hints:

Hi,

i'm Arena player with 800+ wins now, reaching the 12 wins all classes multiple times (except warrior, i just can't :D ). 

Just few tips i didn't read here yet - they are mostly general tips. The situation can differ:

- Download http://www.heartharena.com/overwolf ! This might help you alot - not only with picking the right cards but also to understand the style of deck you want to have. This one I feel could really help you, as it did for me. 

- In most cases you want to play on curve and not play too much around removals, with the exception of Flamestrike or if you are really sure (e.g. obvious preparing for Consecration etc.)

- I mulligan 80-90% very consistently (with average deck), keeping combination of 1x 1cost ; 1-2x 2cost ; 1x 3cost without coin or 0-1x 1cost ; 1-2x 2cost ; 1x 3cost  with coin. 3 cost must have decent chance to be playable on turn3 (eg. no Shattered Sun Cleric if no 2drop etc.) - i don't keep 4cost or 2x 1cost in more than 90% of games. I don't keep 2x 2cost if no coin in 60% of games, and I keep them in 70% of games when I have a coin. 

- Value is pretty much important in Arena (as said above) - but DON'T BE TOO GREEDY. It can be very costly, since you mostly don't have so much defensive tools. 

Hope it helped! If you will tend to fail even after all those tips, don't give up and add me on Bnet. I can do some spectating and we can discuss the plays etc. :) 

ADD:

The tips from sigtrent are great! Well done man :-) 

Who is the lier now guys? :-D 

Unfortunately, Purify can't be replaced, unless you would refine the deck a bit removing Ancient Watcher - replacing it with Bittertide Hydra, Shadow Word: Pain etc.

Until Rank 5 it works like a charm :) 5 to legend is just way too dreamy with deck for 2k dust :) 

Well, ye. The tittle Puripriest should work as a hint. that there is Purify included ^^ 

It's actually just 700g to reach Priest and 2100g to reach Purify - u should save gold for the adventures anyway in my opinion.

Nevertheless, i'll try to come out with some solution for you, so your hopes aren't destroyed :)

I want to make an ideal deck for the beginners without the need to have extra dust.

Still not sure with few cards - opinions?

Overall, there are too many one-ofs in the deck, which will make it harder for the deck to be consistent.

In my experience with this deck so far, sunfury protector wasn't all that good. I was running both them and defender of argus and found that only the argus made for much impact. Sunfury was either a dead card in hand or an ineffective one most of the time. I'd try to find space for 2x defender of argus.

Hozen Healer I thought would be interesting but its effect used as removal with auchenai soulpriest feels situational and a bit gimmicky. Also you only have one soulpriest so it's even harder to pull off.

You could include Tortollan Shellraiser. I found that it was underwhelming but if you're going ultra-budget, at least it's cheap. Decent body + taunt. 

I'd go 2x Priest of the Feast. Found the 3 attack was very good and healing effect with the sheer number of spells you have can be good too.

Potion of Madness I don't think is right for the deck. The point of the deck is build up a big wall either in fat minions that can remove multiple for board control, setup a huge wall for taunt and to burst down with inner fire. I don't think this spell helps with that all that much. I'd remove it in order to make room for more 2-ofs that DO fit into the game plan.

 Yeah, whilst this deck is generally fine, it seems as if there's really no general direction to it. Almost as if you wanted to include a bunch of stuff within the 30 card limitation. Sunfury protector, like said above, is a dead card most of the time. Defender of Argus does the same thing just better - so use that card.

I'll test it, might be actually good.

49 upvotes and counting. I think how to play this deck is pretty self evident but I would like to hear your thoughts on it.

This deck looks fun .

I don't understand the popularity of this deck anyway. Hallucination, Questing Adventurer and Shadow Strike are all weird / poor choices for this deck, even understanding it's a budget deck.  I have a Budget Tempo Rogue deck listed that is much more like Tempo Rogue.  I do have Vilespines in it, but those are the only epics and you could cut them.

I'm really enjoying this deck! +1

It's fast enough to contest all these midrange hunters floating around, and if you can get the jump on an unlucky Razakus priest or Jade druid -- it's GG. Shaman can be a bit of a headache, so pray that their devolves are MIA. You can definitely win without Prince Keleseth, although things are likely to get out of control.

I'm quite satisfied with the deck so far, I've won so many games by buffing Corpsetaker and Dragonhawk into dealing tons of damage. I've found an obvious weakness though. The deck needs some sort of hard removal, which the class doesn't really offer (Dark Conviction, Humility come to mind but I find them ineffective at times because you'd rather have a minion in those slots). So I've been thinking Spellbreaker (obviously the best choice) but I've yet to figure what to remove from the deck for it. Another thing I'm wondering if you considered... Hemet? If you get into a grind game you kinda don't want to draw into all those 1-drops you play not to mention if you're playing vs Priest or Druid you kinda want to draw into those Bonemare, charges and Blessings. What are your thoughts?

I made a fun deck myself I love all the decks everyone has posted so awesome.

Thieving Dragons. I never have problem activating Operative. Fun getting tons of cards from opponents deck. Usually really good and helpful. I am like 10-3 with this deck, pretty good against aggro even. The only real issue is having so many cards in your hand.

One more fun deck that works quite a bit. Deck is a bit goofy but you get the quest super fast and it's good against aggro. Can work against control also. Mirage Caller with Twilight Summoner and Devilsaur Egg is awesome good with N'zoth also.

Same here, got bored from the meta decks and I am now playing a Dragon Kaza Reno in wild and it is insanely fun. got from rank 18-12 in a few days so i guess that's not so bad :)

Similiar disadvantage with Blazecaller - also tried 2 copies or 1 off, but it's just way above the Elemental curve. The idea behind this is to stack up Un'Goro Packs or multiple Lyra the Sunshard which is just insane value even without Blazecaller.

lol Lyra & Un'goro packs are very slow since they're not supposed to be used until turn 9+

Whatsoever, I agree with the over-low cost minion issue. Now trying -1x Crystalline Oracle +1x Holy Nova to squeeze more Tempo from the deck (will probably also try to -1 Kabal Talonpriest +1 Tortollan Shellraiser).

These are good replacements.

Great deck :D

I've been playing this for the past couple days and love this budget deck. I can either wear them down with weapons/heroic strike or buff up Frothing Berserker with low cost minions like Firefly, N'Zoth, Glacial, and Southsea. I've had great success against all classes.
