Tell us something about you: I'm a 39 yr old, Aussie male and I love to play HS. I've been addicted for almost 19 months now. When I'm not playing, I enjoy watching competitive HS and tournament play. My favourite players are Zalae and Amnesiac. I'd love to play more and grind to legend but I have a wife and two daughters which keeps me very busy. HS is my downtime.
hi JayDako, I've been playing for 18 months. Prepare to yourself to be addicted if you're not already :) I play as much as I can but when I'm not playing, I love to watch the game which is a fantastic way to learn. Get yourself familiar with the pro players and their YouTube content and Twitch channels. Watching them play and seeing them explain their thought process really helps you improve. Watching tournament play is also valuable and listening to the casters and overview of the play really helps. As for decks, being a newbie and F2P, I'd focus my attention on either Warlock or Hunter. Warlock has an archetype called Zoo which really teaches you the fundamentals of the game. Plus it's fairly competitive in the lower ranks of play. Zoo decks can be built a number of ways and can include budget replacements for the more expensive cards. This is probably a good time to plug my own unique build :)
Similarily Hunter is cheap to build and also focuses on early board control and snowballing the opponent. A good Face or Tempo orientated Hunter deck will trouble most lower rank players, especially if you get the mulligan right (p.s the mulligan phase is the most important part of the game. Predicting what archetype your opponent is playing and drawing cards to counter their early game is essential for both Zoo and Hunter decks). Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. Hope you have lots of fun learning and I recommend having a read of this, a fantastic in depth article on how to improve your game
Bane is my only craft this expansion and playing bane rogue all the time has been so much fun and effective. if you wanna counter bane as other's said freeze effects are good solution but you can't freeze that 10 attack healing weapon forever. best way to beat bane is get wide on board, not many people run flurry, I only run one. even if you are not playin aggro try to get wide without over extending and race that weapon buffs
"Race that weapon buffs"...pretty much hit the nail on the head here. I play alot of Aggro/Midrange Murloc Paladin and I'm always pretty confident when I see Kingsbane played
I don't go to parties. I don't have any friends. I find it hard to leave the house...mmm constructive, yes. Dust Kingsbane and invest in Skull of the Man'ari
Played against this on ladder using Cocosasa's aggro pally deck and got ABSOLUTELY SMASHED!!! I didn't know WTF was going on...Dirty Rat, Wild Pyromancer and Plated Beetle being summoned by Call to Arms...By The Holy Light!
Great to hear you're enjoying it and I love the idea of adding some disco synergies. I don't have Blood-Queen Lana'thel but yeah, Corpsetaker with Lifesteal seems very appealing! Removing the Argent Commander's might mean you don't get the Divine Shields on her as often but the Lifesteal probably makes up for it. Thanks for your feedback :)
IMO the trick is not to over commit and play into AOE. Although it's a tempo deck, I found in the early stages of playing it, I was constantly running out of cards and relying on my top decks. Once I slowed my play down and concentrated on always having my dagger ready, my play improved dramatically. I also replaced 1 Tar Creeper for 1 Saronite Chain Gang which provides more tempo. I also don't have Shaku, the Collector or Edwin VanCleef so I'm using a Shadowblade and Plague Scientist as replacements which perform well.
Thank you for sharing your build, I too have been mucking around with a Hadronox deck and hadn’t thought to include Menagerie Warden’s for the Beast synergies. FYI I made two small changes. I’ve replaced 1 Naturalize for Cenarius which I unpacked in this weeks Tavern Brawl deck and replaced the 2 Feral Rage’s with 2 Tar Creeper’s which are just too good against Aggro decks not to include. It might be a bit too greedy but I’ll give it a try and let you know how I go, currently at lvl 13.

Aggro murloc paladin slaughters this deck. Kings bane is useless when game is over by turn 5.

hi all, i'm missing two cards from my tempo Rogue which seem core, Edwin VanCleef and Shaku, the Collector.
I've almost got anough dust to craft one of them, which do you think is more important? I'm currently playing this list, -1 Counterfeit Coin , -1 Tar Creeper, +1 Saronite Chain Gang, +1 Bonemare substituting the missing legendaries for 1 Plague Scientist and 1 Shadowblade which is quite effective.
