So, I got really antsy about wanting to try Combo Druid, so I bought 40 classic packs. Here's what I got:


My third Jaraxxus <_<






Will disenchant this and craft a new legendary as soon as I know what I want to make.






And here's all the dust I got, plus a few more from golden cards and a Nat Pagel that I am going to disenchant.

So I decided to craft Sylvannas because she's pretty pimp, but I don't think she actually fits in any of my decks. But it's still one card closer to getting a Control Warrior deck.






So here are the decks I am going to be using. I took out my zoo deck because every zoolock deck I saw had Mal'Ganis which I don't have. I am probably going to focus mostly on Druid, Shaman, and Hunter for a while. I have Golden Mage so there's not much incentive to use that deck, although Hotform says that deck is one of the best in the meta right now. I think I'm going to hold off on playing Patron until I learn it a bit better, so I might wait until when (if) I get legend.







Here are the guides I made my decks from:

Druid:

Substituted one Chillwind Yeti for one Zombie Chow


Shaman:

Didn't have Al'Akir so I swapped that for Bloodlust as a finisher.


Mage:

No substitutions, but this deck is hard to play.


Warrior:
Just some Patron deck. I will probably change it up once i decide to play it. No Gromm though.


Hunter:

Replaced Houndmasters with Ram Wrangler's since TGT came out.

Opened a pack, got this. I don't know if I'll ever use it, but I think I saw it in some priest aggro deck.







I've just been trying to learn Patron. I've noticed that in certain matchups my win conditions are different; like against priest and warlock I tend to win with Frothing Berzererks, but against Hunter and Druid I tend to win with Grim Patrons more, so I'm starting to play with those win conditions in mind if I can. But I just haven't had much time to play. I'd like to be above rank 10 by now, but with school and my personal life things are going slowly.

So, big couple of posts. I noticed that I got an extra paycheck from my summer internship that I didn't know I was going to get, so I decided to splurge on 40 classic packs. Here are the results:

I got another one of these lol.






Here's the results. I ended up getting 2 Cairne's. I got a lot more dust from disenchanting the golden The Beast from last time as well as gold cards.







So I finally crafted this.

I went on to craft Gromm as well because I really wanted to play control Warrior.






This is the decklist I got. I went with the OP's suggestion of replacing Varian with Sylvanas mostly because I didn't have him and didn't want to spend the dust.

I was able to coast from 11 to 8 going 5-0. This is one of the funnest decks I've gotten to play.

Been doing pretty well with this deck still. My hardest match ups are aggro paladin/hunter and secrets paladin. I also lost to one aggro rogue and one shaman. But everything else has been pretty good, especially Dragon Priest, Patron warrior, and all Mage decks, which are the other 3 out of the 4 current Tier 1 decks.

At school in between classes, tavern brawl, got this. I don't think I'll use it in my control warrior deck, because I already do well against other Warriors and it doesn't seem that useful against Paladin/Hunter which is all I'm playing. Maybe when I make a priest deck though.

Been bouncing between Ranks 6 and 7 still. I was really hoping to get to rank 5 at least over the weekend. I got one game away but just started playing dumb. I know a few of the losses were definitely all my fault. But I think I'm getting better at playing against Secret Paladins which was one of my hardest match ups. I think my biggest problem over the weekend was still just rushing my moves and not thinking about my opponents probably next turn. But I'm more conscious about it and getting better.

I lost this match but I wasn't even mad, 60 damage is impressive.

Quick update:

Still stuck at rank 7, my win rates for Control and Patron are both ~50%. I think tomorrow might be my last day of climbing ladder this season. I have school work to do so I don't think I'm going to make a push for legend like I hoped. So the plan is to just try to get to rank 5 for the golden epic card from the chest and then try again next season. I've learned a lot about playing CW and how to deal with Secret Paladins, which was my hardest matchup. My winrate against them since I went back to my original CW deck is like 45%, up from like 15%. I'm still struggling the most with Druid and Mech Mage, which are fairly popular decks, but I'm still learning.

I am going to continue just playing warrior after this season. I have just under 150 Warrior wins now, so I got about 100 this season. My goal is to have 300 by the end of next season and get Gold Warrior the season after. Once I get Gold Warrior I think I might move on to Handlock. I am going to try classic handlock, not demon handlock, because I don't want to craft Mal'Ganis. Although, crafting Mal'Ganis would mean I could make a decent Demon Zoolock deck, and I do like Zoolock. I have about 140 wins with it. But we'll see.
