If I could compete without spending time and money, I would have spent zero $$$ on the game.

I have had to cash in on 99% of my quests since the game was in beta, plus I have spent $500 or so on the game, and I still don't have every card in the game.

I dropped I think about $10 on the last big expansion (not adventure), and $2 on this current expansion (one arena entry). I stopped putting money into Hearthstone since I don't need to anymore, except for wings which are about $20 a year.

Would I recommend this game to a new-comer? No fucking way. The game isn't worth the money. The game has only been worth it to those who have stuck with it from the beginning.

which makes me think.. they should make a new game mode for the players with like 200 or less total wins.

Its called casual

but I'm sure you know there's a hidden MMR so casual isn't good past 50 wins!

Someone I know told me once he started playing he was beating all the plebs in casual pretty easily (he was using basic deck) and then at some point he started seeing ppl with very good decks, plenty of legendaries and even sometimes full golden decks.

Short answer: Yes
Look at my fg amount
Trust me I would know

eventho there is a mmr, i rly don't see why you think it is "not good" lol, i face almost exclusively legends in casual, and it is still easy and fast to do stupid quests/farm the daily 100 gold

well i am talking about the new player perspective.

i don't know why you aren't doing rank 20 wild to farm gold/quests

would be a lot faster than casual facing legends lol

because i am not rank 20? standard or wild

pretty easy.. you get legend in standard.

Concede in wild to stay at rank 20

Super fast wins

i like playing wild
