Would it be an idea to buy dust? 1G = X amount of dust?

Because buying card packs with gold, then dusting the cards etc. Maybe it would be something to just swap Gold for Dust?
Has this been proposed? Is it a silly thought?

I really hate it when I am 50 dust short or so, could do with swapping some G for D instead of finding cards to dust or to buy a pack then dust them etc.

Hey this deck is quite good against Wrench/Bomb Warrior, any Paladin, any Priest, any Shaman, any Warlock and any Mage. It sucks against the rest.

keep making your jokes bruv but i seriously think we need a death knight class with hero power: freeze an opponents minion.

 You are out of mind. 

 Hey, come on, man. I would take a hero power that freezes a minion over a devolving kick that OP originally suggested any day of the week.

 Hey, that hurt man! What's wrong with a devolving kick?

What would a Monk's hero power be? Maybe a punch or a roundhouse kick that devolves? Maybe a Nuck Chorris (Chuck Norris) hero card?
I would definitely play Monk.

The type of deck you play determines your opponent when climbing ladder. For example add a swamp ooze or a kobold stickyfinger and or even a wyrmrest purifier to your deck and you won't get warriors anymore for 50 games only 1 warrior and without them for 50 games 12 warriors. 

I only added today (see pic) but I seem to be not break the drag. Win 1 loose 1 win 2 loose 2 etc. It becomes clear to me that playing this game casually will not get me to legend (maximum 1 to 2 hours a day)

My top was Diamond 2 but that's it, I always drop back to Diamond 5 and it is a win 1 loose 1 average, I think to break the wheel you need to play a lot non stop but I don't have that amount of time. 

Am I right, do I need to play much more to break the wheel or is it my piloting a deck skills that are lacking?

I d take a soul DH matchup all day rather then a stupid RNG crap mage. If soul DH is the top dog- then just play a strategy that counters it- Quest druid, Control Warrior etc. 
But against mage it s just hoping he doesn t highroll. Literally just hope...so the salt should be aimed at Jaina...

 Hey no offense but I play big spell mage, my only real RNG luck happens when I play Reno or Puzzle box, the rest is pure card draw getting 2x 10 pyro with a naga combo and maybe some other fireballs and frostbolts from arcane breath. I hate playing  small spell mage cyclone shit, seems like 99% of the mages uses same deck. (like face hunter and DH) All decks became the same, that is not fun!

For me it is 104 mins.... Is it a DDoS or Shadowlands related?

Well if HS is indeed using a https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudorandom_number_generator then this explains a lot. Maybe we should play with this in mind?

For example what I realized is that when you play a Puzzlebox when it is a outcast card, you generally get good spells, maybe it is coincidence but I wait now until it is outcast (pigeon superstition) :-)

I believe this is called confirmation bias and that, counterintuitively, the odds aren't actually 1 in 10000 but only 1 in 100.  I'm not a statistician (but I have studies some stats), but the first event "doesn't count" unless you're already looking for it in advance.  The explaination here is that there will be lots of times that the opponent (or you) doesn't get a Kargath, but you don't register and take note of these occurrences because nothing intersting happened.  Once you get the first Kargath you're now interested in what the next one is, but because you only took note when you got Kargath you can't count that first event in the probability.

I probably haven't explained that very well - like I said I'm not a statistician.

There was a really interesting article about Paul the psychic octopus (if you remember he was an octopus that predicted world cup scores alledgedly) on the website understanding uncertainty where this phenomenon is explained in more detail than I can understand!

I get you, I have just read the article about the octopus, nice remark, nice read too. I am not a statistician as well, but I got too much Kargath's in a day, 3 in total and I played 12 games, I did not get Kargath 6 times.

So I played 9 times Netherwind Portal today, 3 times it gave me Kargath today. That just feels too much to be random, because for me it is 1 to 3 (33%), considering each time the odds this happening is 1/100 if you are waiting for it.

I am buying a lottery ticket as we speak :-)

At least it feels that way, I personally think there is something wrong with the coding.

I will try to explain, let's pick a random summoning card like Netherwind Portal. There are in total 101 of 4 Mana Minions in standard to RNG from.
So let's say 1 in 100 chance to calculate more easily. Last 2 games ago I had 2x Kargath Bladefist (not that I am complaining)

First time it is 1/100 but the second time it happening is again 1/100, but both for the second time it happening becomes 1 in 10000?

Just now I finished a game and I had 2 x Kargath again. Again I am not complaining it is a nice card to get, better then getting a desert obelisk with Jandice Barov :-)
But it really doesn't feel like random, I most likely will get a lot of flamers again (like if Blizzard is their Family Company) but again this suited me but not my opponent I guess, I am not really complaining, I just want to point out that it feels fishy in my experience.

To be honest, yes I am dead serious when I play HS. Reason is quite simple: I like card games and HS is still one of the best out there. There is one more factor that I want to mention, I am married and have kids, thus my game time per day is very limited, this is the only game that gives me at least some satisfaction for that limited amount of game time (if the RNG gods favor me I have a blast of a time, if they don't my whole day gaming day is forfeit)

That is why I hate people who rope, that is why I hate silly disconnects or slow players even at 1 mana(jeez what is there to think), people who go filling their time with emotes instead of playing. 

So yes I can get angry or frustrated sometimes because my game time is limited, I play a game to have fun and have some quality time, the moment my expectations are not being met it is normal to get frustrated or angry because I need to wait 1 day before I can play again.

Why is it that when I create a non complaint topic some people assume it is a complaint, how sour can you be, jeez. I just wanted to say to my feeling that I was getting 1 opponent more then the others and that I miss playing to other classes. Some good comments and explanations I have seen as well. 

Peace and thanks for the nice comments!

Is it me or am I not getting a proper variety of opponents? Or did people quit playing some of the classes?

Sometimes I get one class maybe 3 or more times in a row. I added a pic of my HS tracker. This month I started a new deck and played 68 games. 

I only played against 3 rogues, 3 warlocks, 4 druids, 4 priests, 6 mages and 7 shamans.
12 hunters, 11 dh, 10 paladins and 8 warriors top the chart.

Did rogue and lock players suddenly stop playing? What about druids and priests?

I would very much like it if this card was a neutral card and not paladin only. The name in my opinion suggests that first day of school counts for all during scholomance no? Maybe I am wrong, you guys have some idea's about it?
