I'm pretty sure that's specifically what 90% of the community complains about...

If you started playing any game 2-3 years late you expect to be a behind .. It's why they give away so many free packs now you can get what ~10? League of legends same way wow same way .. Cards give false hope to newbies .. If I let a newbie play my account they wouldn't win very many more games .. I will always stand behind 8 rares > 2 epics > legendary .. Game is more than playing card on curve or slamming down big legendary ..

I'm speaking about the everyone 25-10 should play aggro...
That's like 90% of the player base and where all of the complaints come from.

It would be fine if "face" wasn't the strongest deck type right now.

How is face decks strongest ?? Are you high as fuck ? There are many tier decks .. Agro decks alway been top tier cause you u can play 2-4 games per 1.. Worst meta was when cw and cw and fatigue Mage were top played decks ... People cried mass than everyone will find someone thing to whine about .. Everyone on This form knows I play cw 80% of time

I think a while ago there was a graph on Reddit about the optimal average game Time and winrate for a deck to get to legend fastest. I think it was around 6 minute games with 60% winrate was the best.

First, there are some decks that are cheaper than others. Some agro decks can be made for relatively cheap. You might have to skimp on some of the cards but that shouldnt necessarily be a problem getting to rank 20.

Second, the season recently reset. You are more likely to find experienced players with good decks around the level you are at. If you wait a week or two you will find its much easier to level up.


I do think the game is awkwardly put together though. It is definitely not new-player friendly. You essentially have 2 modes (solo and brawl) which are boring, and youre left with play mode which like you said requires you to pay to win, and arena which requires you to pay to play.

Its broken. I really wish blizzard made an arena variant with no prizes that you could enter for free, because it is by far the most fun to play for people without insane decks.

But such is the reality with blizzard, they do love making pay to win games.

But if you're good at arena you get more gold than you use, plus get cards. Plus you're on equal footing with all cards being avaliable.

being new is the best part of this game.. once you have all the cards and ranks etc thats when it gets boring and then you only have new expansions to look forward to
