So I've been away from HS since just after naxx released. What are some of the better decks to run with now?

I had the Handlock Deck.
Warrior Control
Murloc
Zoo OFC
Hunter than ran Loatheb , mad scientist, lots of secrets, UTH dunno the popular name for it.
Mage deck that everyone had lol
Amaz's Priests deck

So im sure most of those decks are out of rotation or have changed. I have about 4k dust laying around. was planning on buying some packs.

Just looking for some decent decks to get back into laddering. and getting some gold for arenas along the way.

Control Warrior is still good, the list hasn't changed much since Naxx (Dr. Boom EDIT: And Shield Maidens is pretty much the only GvG card most of them are running). Mech Mage would require a pretty serious investment in GvG. Priest is not so great on ladder right now, of any stripe. Zoo would only involve a couple of cards (Imp-Losion being the big one) to be up to date. Hunter sometimes runs Piloted Shredders and absolutely runs Clockwork Gnome and Glaivezooka. Murloc is dead (probably). Fatigue Mage is running Explosive Sheep, Illuminator, Antique Healbot, and Echo of Medivh.

Yeah, basically most decks except Mech Mage you're 1-8 cards away from running a completely updated list. If you get a Dr. Boom that'll be most of the cost of any control deck. If you like control decks I'd craft Boom and Healbots. Paladin, Warrior, Druid, and Warlock run at least one if not both in control versions of their decks. If you like agro Clockwork Gnomes are the most important neutral. After that I'd focus on class cards.

Jump on twitch and check out what the top streamers are running. Seeing lots of interesting decks lately. Kibler is sitting at #38 in NA running a Druid Hobgoblin deck, lol. Looks fun as shit.

Shield Maidens in Warrior is pretty popular I thought? I run them in mine.

Is it the beast version? With Druid of the Fang+Boar?

I forgot about Shield Maidens, edited that in. Thanks.

No Druid of the Fang, and using Argent Squire instead of boar. Looks like his one drops are creepers, annoy a trons, echoing oozes, argent squires, and teacher tokens.

Like what specifically?
I'm missing a ton of legendaries and epics. Beyond the Naxx legendaries, I only have Sylvanas, Rag, Hogger, Al'Akir, and - of fucking course - Millhouse. And I crafted Rag because my first legendary was a golden Sylvanas and my second legendary was a regular Sylvanas. It was an easy DE decision. Basically I can't run a successful Druid or Warrior deck. Can't make a Handlock deck. I'm even missing rare essentials like Sunfury Protector and a ton of class-specific cards. It's not like I can craft those cards now because I need to finish out GvG before I can start racking up dust.

Those epics can be a bitch. I waited forever trying to luck into Ancient of Lores on both accounts and Shield Slams on the one before I finally just gave up and crafted them. I wanted to save the dust for legendaries but some epics you just can't really make a viable class deck without. I don't care much for handlock so not having the giants never bothered me.

Arena is just impossible anymore, I used to get 7+ wins all the time but now im lucky to get 5. I draft the same, play the same, yet just get screwed over and over by the best top decks and perfect curves. It feels like there is some sort of mmr on it now besides just wins/losses. I either am having the worst luck of any hearthstone player alive or something has changed. Anybody else feel this way?
Oh I meant to comment on this earlier too. I feel the same way littles, I got most of my classic collection doing arena averaging probably ~6 wins, but I haven't had any "luck" with arena since gvg came out. Really can't be arsed to grind arena anymore, so besides maybe completing a 60g class quest I've given up on arena and I'm just going to buy packs w/ gold.

My average arena win count increased by 2 after I started auto-picking Mage>Pally>Priest.

In my most recent run I got 2 basically free wins just from unstable portal alone: a turn 2 quartermaster (after coining portal on turn 1) and a turn 4 Dr. Doom.

Kibler climbed to the single digits of legend rank with it. Yeah it's easier early in the season, but that seems relatively consistent to me.
Ya and he was back in the high 200's when he logged off. Do you know if he grinded his way to legend with it or just started playing around with it once he got there?

I know i saw him using it during his grind to legend, but he didn't grind with it exclusively. He was around the 200s when I started watching him earlier today, he got up to rank 8? before I stopped watching. It's much easier to lose your way down than it is to win your way up.
