I recommend watching "Trump's Teachings" - 2 hours well invested. He explains the basic strategies of the game and got an example for each lesson with different classes. He uses a mage for board control, a Shaman for favorable trading etc. and uses basic cards only (the ones you get if you reach level 10 with a class).
here's the link:

http://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=73160619&f=221I strongly recommend playing each class for a few games each and climb the ladder to rank 20 in each month for the reward (you can easily do that with basic cards only and never fall below rank 20, no matter how often you lose).
You should also win one Tavern brawl per week for the reward (one free card pack).
I found out that I do not enjoy playing Rogue myself and that I enjoy Hunter, Shaman, Paladin and Mage (just to call a few classes). It's unlikely that I suddenly play Rogue only after one Rogue build is seen overpowered in a new meta (well, I'm interested in a Pirate Rogue build, but that's another story ^^ ).
Going for the "one new overpowered deck" is quite expensive, too. There are current Control Warrior decks out there that cost more than 18k dust to craft - in the basic, non-golden version. Others played successfully 2500 dust Patron Warrior decks last month (pre-tournament).
