Really enjoying the whole thing! Difficulty seems more linked to people able to pick the right match of loot and cards and then ending up with a boss you can beat with it so pretty hard to balance around all the options but so far I think Blizzard have done superb
I'm playing a fun (albeit not the most competitve) C'thun / Evolve Shaman in standard. I have Veklor in it as both copies are costed @7 mana so a turn 8 Veklor + evolve gets you two 8 cost minions
There is a big difference between "free to play" and "free to have a complete and quickly up to date collection"
I did an experiment yesterday and rolled a free to play account as I couldn't remember what the new player experience was like or how long it would take to make any sort of competitive deck.
In short it took a couple of hours
After playing through the into and the MSG quests I was able to make a pretty good attempt at a Jade Druid (also ran a small C'thun package of 2X Beckoner of Evil, 1 X dark arakkoa & C'thun to fill some gaps and because it entertained me) I got from rank 25-18 in short order (to be clear I'm not HS genius and rarely get beyond rank 12-10) so was happy that I could hit rank 15 if I put the time in.
From here on out I'm sure it will be hard going to fill out the missing cards from this or any other Tier 1/2 deck as I only intend to do the daily quest and run arena whenever I hit 150g (I tend to average 3-4 wins so feel like this is a profit) but to suggest FTP is RIP... I think isn't true.
Looking forward to the freebies coming our way at the launch of Un'Goro as they seem pretty good (better than MSG but maybe less than Old Gods still?)
In fairness I was playing it late game and at the time he had 4 cards in hand.... then 3.. then 2 etc so could pick Operative every time and one of those was Branned too ;)

Either way I'm keen to see how it plays out
