    Thanks everyone for the replies!

    I'm seeing a lot of Warrior here, another forum is saying "Go Paladin" (mostly because of Secret Paladin I think), and a friend of mine says Paladin and another says Shaman (While they don't over-rule anyone, they are of course weighted more than the forums :( )

     

    Not really worried about Quests; I have no problem dropping 20-40 dollars per expansion/Adventure, but as of right now I've already dropped enough money into all the classes and all the decklists that it's already a problem, so forcing myself to be limited to one class (Maybe two) will keep the game in budget, if not F2P.

     

    Playing the same decks over and over isn't really an issue, nor is certain classes being out of season.  I play a lot of Commander in M:tG, mostly Zur the Enchanter (Tutor for any card of a certain type everytime he attacks) and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth (Play him, draw 4 cards, opponent either kills him allowing me to draw more or I kill them in two hits) and both play the same every game. It's less about variety and more about how do you play the next game better. As for classes being out of season, Wild is the format I enjoy anyway so the decks/decklists are always in season :P

     

    As for what Magic decks I liked in M:tG (Going off of Modern since it's closer to HS than Commander), I played Delver, U/R storm, Blitzkreig, Zoo, Burn, but never really felt like I hit my stride until I finally started playing Jund. The ability to drop highly credible threats while removing everything was always a joy for me.

     

    And I'll keep in mind what everyone is saying about keeping 4 classes (the three and then probably Mage), but playing in Tournies isn't really a high priority for me (Why do you need 4 classes for that anyway? Seems.... arbitrary).

     

    Thanks for all the responses, guys :D

    Hey all, long time Magic player coming to Hearthstone to help curb costs induced in playing the game (Lack of a need to buy a Mana base, lack of a need for travel, among other things) and, for two reasons, I would like to focus solely on One class in particular.

    Reason 1: Keeps the game incredibly cheap; Get the Class cards/Neutrals out of an expansion, be done with it. No need to want Legendary #2124 in order to play deck #214123, as it's not my class, I don't care about it. Also because I have 8/10 possible "Classes" I can unpack, Dusting is going to be common, further keeping costs of getting cards low. Not to mention eventually being able to craft Golden cards.

     

    Reason 2: Forcing creativity. In Wild at least, every Class has a Legendary Capable deck, so being competitive wouldn't be an issue. Then there's the fact that not having to worry about playing 10 different decks in 7 different classes would allow me to have all the cards available to my one, I could easily start brewing up weird/fun decks.

    Back in my Magic days I would sit there brewing deck after deck, getting them 90% finished and then moving on to the next deck. Needless to say, this got expensive quick. I really need to curb my spending, but I love CCG's too much to just outright stop playing them.

     

    I'm having a hard time deciding between Warrior, Paladin, and Shaman. All three of them do what I would like them to do (Middle of the road classes that can play any style of deck, from Aggro to Control to Midrange to Silly) while having the types of cards I want (Healing, though in Warrior's case that's Armor, weapons, fun build around cards).

     

    I have: Wild Secret Paladin, Wild MalyZeal Call (The Ancestor's Call/Malygos combo deck), Patron Warrior, Aggro Shaman, 90% of the Shaman's card catalog, and enough dust to craft 2 Legendaries. I'm probably going to dust EVERYTHING except the class that I choose to play with, just to make it more permanent.

     

    Would love any and all feedback as to which class I should stick with.
