You could have just conceded instead of wasting your opponents time having to finish you off.
As I said earlier, that's what I ended up doing. When he started to take his sweet time and prat around buffing his minions when all it would have taken is one click on minion and drag to my face.

No it wasn't, your opponent wouldn't have had to finish you off if you just conceded on your turn once it was obvious you couldn't win.
Your missing the point. I gave an opponent the courtesy of finishing me off with a simple click and drag to my face.
I know I would like to be given this opportunity when Im in that situation and would show my opponent respect and not just drop down further minions/spells/buffs just to rub in the fact that he won by a margin.
You may think differently, but this is my view on it.
Just played a game against a guy. I knew I was going to lose in a turn or two.
Had 11 life left, he had two minions. His turn comes, he says well played, buffs both minions to exactly the damage needed to kill me. Done, and that's how it should be imho.

What should be done is a limit on amount of legendary minions u can have at low rank. It's ridiculous to see 30 000 dust decks at ranks 15-20. I see no reason why they couldn't just put a limit on expensive decks at low ranks - if you wanna play your top decks, get higher in rank.
Oh the joy after finally advancing to rank 13 after hanging between 14-15 for almost a week!
And all of this with just ¬200 dust self made mage deck against fully decked opponents with Dr. Boom, Gromash, Ragnaros, mysterious challengers and other damn annoying crap every single game. It's so rewarding when you get your enemy to have their cards drawn perfectly and still outplay them despite them having much stronger decks.
Seriously they should just put brackets/leagues/divisions in place and there should limits on cards below r10-15.
Wish there was arena practice mode with no rewards as it's hard to learn all the decks/cards if you don't have any of them. Just memorizing cards is pointless if you don't know what works best against them or how they play together.

i very rarely get high ranks.
end around rank 9 ish most seasons.
ive put a lot of money into this game since it come out, so why shouldnt i be able to use my cards.
ive made it to rank 8 in a season using a basic mage deck so my legendarys had no bearing on that.
play more/earn more dust/get more cards.
the game rewards those who play the most and rightfully so.
id avoid arena to be honest. youve got to know the game inside out to reep the rewards from that. stick to the ranked play and just have fun. complete the daily quests. you should be able to get almost 100 gold in a day from the quest and winning games. you will find a lot of good players in the low ranks at the moment though as they will be farming gold ready for the new expansion/

...and to add to that I've made Legend Rank twice with decks that contained no legendaries.
Just picking this game up again, played a bit on release but never really got into it. Having fun at the moment though.
I bought the BM and LoE adventures and I am just working through the wings. Is it best to complete all these and then start building a deck I can play ranked with? Has anyone got any good starter decks that I can build and play ranked with?

No, you didn't. You either concede so you can both get on to the next game faster, or you don't concede so he can do stuff for quests/XP. That's the etiquette. If you're wasting his time making him kill you, don't complain when he wastes yours doing it.

New card looks absolutely pants. 10 mana kill all minions, summon a card for each killed.. self mill hype!
Yeah for a card that will only be playable in long control matches drawing a tonne of cards isn't ideal. Still we haven't seen all the new synergies yet.
It's not even the legendaries but not having the basic cards - until yesterday I didn't even have azure drakes, it definitely helps. I'm quite happy with rank 13 for now, I've improved a lot but as mentioned, it's quite difficult to know all the decks enemies can play if you don't have the cards and have never played them. Some things are obvious, like mech mage, control warriors, secret or murloc pallies but it's still takes time to learn a lot of this stuff.
I'll be looking forward to some tips from you and maybe you could give me some hints on improving my deck as it's quite hard looking online since decks listed online don't always account for the different expansions you might or not have and they either assume that you have everything or nothing.
Yes I did.
E.g. If you play a game of Snooker, you don't interrupt the player in his last turn, you give him the chance to clear up, even when its clear that he has won, but do so in tasteful way.
Depends how you define 'Basic'. Azure Drake is one of the best cards in the game and better than most Legendaries.
I'm happy to spectate some of your games if you'd like and you can post a imgur of your deck here.

He may have had a quest to deal a certain amount of damage or to kill so many minions or play so many spells, Who cares if he buffed minions. If you leave it up to him to finish you then its his prerogative to do it however he wishes, Do not like it then concede.
Now if he had spammed emotes at you until the timer nearly ran down then finished you I could understand.
