I think the worst expansion so far is Mean Streets of Gadzetzan.However,the combination of new cards with cards of this set made the game most annoying now..the new cards are ok with 1-2 exceptions!So hopefully when the next expansion comes or when Mean Streets rotates to wild the game will be in a better place!

Since you don't like aggro decks I would definitely say no to Patches since it rotates out soon anyway,but yes to Keleseth..you can play Keleseth in midrang-y decks too and it's going to be around for a longer time!I don't know if it will see much play after the new expansion,but for now it's a good card.

I see many smartasses here assuming that anyone who says they can't go to a fireside gathering has issues,is antisocial or whatever...let me tell you this,some of us live in small countries or small towns and can't attend a gathering although we would be glad to!In my country there are 3 gatherings until December,all at the same place..so what are people supposed to do?Take a plane to go to a fireside gathering or host one and accept strangers in their house?Personally I may be able to go to a gathering,but since many people won't it is a stupid requirement to get the hero!I understand doing promotions and stuff,but that's just discrimination!

P.S Khadgar and Tyrande became available in China and Korea after the original promotion,but not in Europe,so yeah we have the right to complain since it's obvious there is no legal reason we can't get them!And no I am not buying them on Ebay or using fake "personal information" on Amazon to get a hero,we should be able to get them like others did or at least through a similar promotion!

I can't see your collection but I would say neither of them is worth crafting right now...Y'shaarj is only used in meme decks,N'zoth in very few good decks(in standard) and both cards will be out of the standard rotation soon(-ish)!So if you don't have a huge collection I think the best choice would be to craft a card from KFT/Un'goro(or even the classic set) that's going to be around for a long time or just save the dust for the next expansion!

The higher rank you achieve the more rewards you get at the end of the season..so yeah,if you are f2p I think it's worth trying to get as far as you can!Hunter is a good choice for f2p or new players exactly because Hunter decks tend to be budget decks,while doing pretty well in ladder.However having more cards definitely gives you the opportunity to make more/better decks and have the tools to counter more stuff.My suggestion would be to spend a little money to get the "Welcome bundle"(it's a good deal),play the free adventure to get some packs and a free DK (if you haven't already),play daily to do your quests and get gold,always win 1 brawl to get your free pack and don't be afraid to disenchant/craft cards..just ask for advice here if you are not sure!Also you don't have to play a deck exactly the way you see it here,you can substitute expensive cards with cheaper ones you have,you can ask for advice in the comment section of the deck if you are not sure what card to add...Last but not least enjoy the game,relax,play casual and practice,watch streams/videos to get a better understanding of the game and you will get to higher ranks sooner or later!Just don't stress yourself,high ranks will come in time,as you get better and expand your collection! :)

Well Anduin may be awesome because of Raza,but that doesn't mean it is not good without Raza..it's still a solid card,board clear+deal 2 damage hero power(that can be used more than once in a deck with cheap cards,like a lyra+spells deck) is very important for priest that could sometimes have a hard time ending a game...Thrall is shit guys!The fact that he is played in a tier 1 deck means nothing,the deck was great before Thrall and when Gadgetzan rotates out it's going to be the end of Thrall too,it's going to be unplayable because it doesn't fit any other deck than evolve and you can't really afford to lose the totem hero power!
There is no need to talk too much,so here is a list with the DK ratings in my opinion:
Good without conditions(fit any deck):Druid(solid battlecry and good hero power),Mage(yes,there are many non elemental decks who run it and it works very well),Priest(board clear,offers damage to a class that needed it)
Good under conditions:Warlock(great hero power,you need demons to really get value,since it costs 10),Rogue(great hero power,could be very good if rogue actually had late game),Hunter(fun,can be great with some "control" cards in the deck)
Meh:Paladin(sound good,doesn't work,just play Tirion instead),Warrior(very good weapon if not removed,but you lose the shield and the "whirlwinds" only synergize well with 1-2 late game cards)
Bad:Shaman(only playable in one deck,will disappear when gadgetzan rotates out)

The only card from the ones you mentioned I would consider "problematic" is Ultimate Infestation,because druids can play it on turn 7 (even after the innervate nerf) and it provides huge value..Barnes is ok,people just rant about it because they lost to big priest 1-2 times,honestly big priest is not that good,if they don't get extremely lucky they just can't win,no early game+expensive late game.Operative was never a card I considered OP,it is definitely a very good card but not game breaking and I think that priest needed a boost when Drakonid Operative came out,so I don't mind it being a little "too good" sometimes.
I am not going to rant about hearthstone being expensive and pay to win or whatever (I am not f2p anyway) but the truth is with 3 expansions per year and no adventures(20 euros=guaranteed good cards/legendaries) it has gotten more expensive and hard for new players to get into it.I like  the fact that Blizzard added an "Adventure" kind of thing and the Fire Festival(double gold for 2 weeks) and I think they are moving to the right direction with this,but I think all of us would appreciate  daily log-in rewards and events all year round to get some additional packs/dust/gold!
Now let's get back to the "card issues".I am not going to write about specific cards that I dislike,I just think some cards should be "nerfed" before we even see/get them...What I mean is that the community is getting crazy over some cards being OP and this could have been avoided if Blizzard tested them more before releasing them and took into account potential synergies that could make some decks unbeatable(yeah,ok I know there is no unbeatable deck,I mean mostly unbeatable)!For example they could have though about UI being played on turn 6,Keleseth being bounced back to your hand twice as a rogue and other stuff,I know that's not the case in every game but it's still annoying and can't be countered so they could have worked more on these interactions before we get the cards and people get annoyed/bored of seeing the same decks...
A last thing I would like to "talk" about is portraits and cosmetic items in general (:P)...I know most people don't care about this stuff,but I would like to see more "skins" and card backs that could be obtained by everyone (like Arthas) through an event or even promotion(as long as it's worldwide).I would really like Tyrande and I would get Twitch Prime if I could,but back then it wasn't available in my country and I think that's not fair.The same thing happened with Khadgar as well,what if I don't have an apple device or I lost the promotion(It lasted only one week!)?Now they made Khadgar available only in Korea..why not everywhere?I honestly don't understand what they think about it!I don't ask to be given anything for free,I just want to be able to get what others get..

I would say that Malfurion is the best DK,as a standalone card that can be included in any (non aggro) deck,but Anduin and Jaina are also very powerful, especially when used in decks with good synergy cards.Actually I don't think there is any bad DK,just less versatile..

There are many lists that do not run Velen...I think it's mostly a matter of preference,you can replicate Velen's damage in other ways like playing small minions/spells to fuel your hero power!I actually have Velen and I don't play him in my Razakus priest,I use Elise for the extra cards and "fuel",because that's what I felt I needed/wanted.So in the end you are the one who knows if you need it because it depends on the way you want to play the deck!What I can say is that Velen is not "auto-include" in many Razakus decks,so you can skip crafting him for now. Keleseth however performs very well lately and you can't skip him in some decks,because it's like the "core" of the deck,so it would probably be a better choice!

I really can't understand why someone who just started playing would expect to win ranked games with minimal skill and (probably) bad decks...I agree that new players should be matched with new players and players of the same rank even in casual so that their experience is better,but the deck your opponent plays shouldn't be relevant!

 I agree but I remember it being frustrating facing golden heroes as a completely new player. The problem is that most people don't play casual to try out new decks but to complete their quests with net decks. And while Legendaries are not the be all end all, it still was frustrating to face all these powerful cards I could only dream of having.

Don't craft patches,it's not that useful. If you like zoo and aggro decks consider crafting Prince Keleseth,it's used in many decks lately and seems to perform really well,it's also going to be around for longer than patches!Another good choice would be to craft one of the classic legendaries you don't have and need...

Mirage caller doesn't copy opponents minions.  And on turn 3 dropping a 1/1 version of something is not very strong.  Dropping a 3/3 Righteous Protector is not that bad.
