JJSawry, sorry, can't remember  just know they ramped up cards really quickly and then played a card which had them draw their highest cost spell and summon a minion equal to that (I think)

This sounds like a Primordial Protector, which costs 8 of itself. 7 with a Kindling Elemental played on turn one. with 1 Lighting bloom and 1 inervate or coin in hand that would make it playable on turn 4. This sets 3/4 of the specific cards (though all run doubles) of 7 drawn... Not impossible or extremely unlikely (if mulligan for those specific cards) but still quite unlikely to happen "every other game"

When it draws something like "Survival of the fitest" it summons a random 10 cost minion... yeah, those tend to be really big ;-)

How is your succes with this deck? still bummed raptor sees so little play. 

same, never spent a cent, getting to gold/platinum regularly (on 1 hour a day) 

Winning is not based on how much you spent, you still need to play decently. There are a great bunch of good decks (check HSreplay) and a lot of good streamers on twitch and on youtube to help you get the basics down. With everything you should be able to win at least some games, after that it becomes learning how to play a deck optimal. 

HS takes some time to get good at. In this game money does not replace experience. (although at higher levels it certainly helps to get higher by allowing for more different decks/meta adjustments)

In my opinion it is a steal to pay 2000 gold.

Firstly:  I heardsomewhere that you get an average 100 dust per pack (i think Youtube with the calculating robot) . The entire set is already over 2000 dust if you dust everything, so a better buy than any packs. 

Second:  with the rotation comming up, these cards will most likely be a huge part of the upcoming meta's, even if they don't have a place in this one. We saw the same with Galakronds awakening. Just 2/3 cards that are still being played, but early 2020 there were many more. Much of this can be remedied with packs... but still at a higher cost (dust wise see point 1) 

Unless you already have all the epics in Darkmoon faire double, I think the buy should be a no brainer for any F2P player, if you have over 5000 gold. (that would make a 40 pack start at the rotation probably) 

I agree with a lot of people above: keep cards you like for later, disenchant the rest. 

Personally I keep all hunter cards (my favorite class) and all beasts (as they match well to hunter) as there is always a decent build possible for brawls and duels.

In addition if I really really liked a deck I keep all the cards aswell, with brawl in mind.

I don't take Duels in account yet because it is the first rotation. I will see how much the new battle pass system will change for me when the time comes... In general for me 40 to 50 packs at the start of the expansion/season get me going enough and as a F2P player I don't expect to be able to get a full collection anyway.

But when I need the dust of old unused cards to build a new deck I will most probably like, I will never doubt to disenchant them. With a bit of luck, creativity and saving discipline I am able to run a couple of fun decks per season, often building on what was good in last season. (f.e. totem shaman will take some hits next rotation. But i will try to make it work non the less) 

I have to admit my playing became surprisingly beter by watching the Trump starter series on YouTube. It is pure clean basics, but it gives such a quick grasp I can only recommend it.

For the rest watching Twitch (Dekster/Funky Monkey/Regis and Thijs when you are a bit further down the road) really helped me. I'm in no way qualified to offer mentorship... But those would be my starter tips

how is this deck treating you so far?

Thanks for the update, Sounds like not enough minnons, am i right? I hope i'm able to make a test run tonight on more (rush) minnions with the buffing... maybe dropping the secret package all together

made almost the same theorycraft. WIl you keep me posted on your results? 

would like this reply more times if I could... f2p hunter dedicated player here... Animal Companion is great as it is, makes the cut in an insane amount of decks already and hunter has enough options if they don't want the randomness. 

Is it just me or feels this a lot like a card (also) meant in part to promote Duels? I can totaly see this working great with the duels hero power aswell. 

Thanks for the reply. Will try it tonight :D

Any good replacemnets for the manasaber? Is the stealth,  beast tag, 4 mana slot or the mana crystal, more important? (really wanna try this, just not buying the entire adventure ;-) )

I'm really gonna try this one or the meme's. But how important do you think [card]Soulciologist Malicia[/card] is? (As i don't really want to craft her :P)
