Hearthpwn

34 here, nice to see there are people my age playing.  I just assumed I was always playing someone younger than me.  Married with 2 kids and not much time on my hands so HS appeals to me because it's easy to jump in and out, games dont take too long, one of the few games I dont get constantly wrecked by some kid with too much time on their hand.

I consider myself mostly a f2p player, only bought the welcome bundle.  I started playing around naxx and been on and off throughout the years.  I think someone else mentioned but as a f2p you need better deck and card management.  You can't always play the newest and greatest deck out there but need to strategize on the most cost effective decks. Examples of cost effective decks would be face hunter, zoolock, and token druid come to mind.  Utilize those decks to climb the ladder, play arena and get at least 3 wins, re-roll daily 40g quest and even a f2p player will be able to amass a decent amount of dust and card collection.  

Rome wasn't built in a day and same for your deck.  Good luck to all the f2p players out there.

P.S - I'm f2p and have over 14k dust saved
