Aggro mage (it's on the front page of hearthpwn) is pretty amusing if you need a deck for quick dailies. Went 8/2 with it doing some test hands and a bit of netdecking and games are over by T6 or at least, if you don't have them down to 12hp by this time it's probably gg.

Currently Rank 9 and rising still with this deck:
It's very simple aggressive Weapon/Enrage themed Warrior deck, but when you get good at deciding when to go for minions and when for face, its devastating. I catch people out a lot with it when they think they are safe!
Turn 1 Coin -> Fiery War axe into Bloodsail raider for a 5/3 and a 3 damage weapon available on turn 2 is the nuts.
Another strong start is coin into Amani Berserker with a Turn 2 cruel taskmaster for a 7 damage facewhack, or Mad bomber for some crazy board carnage.
You can swap out the Argent Commander/Rag for other "finisher" cards - Im still tinkering with the deck and would like to try Captain Greenskin and/or Grom Hellscream, but I don't have those Legendaries yet.
Could also go for Argus/Molten giants combo as well, so many things to try yet!

Folks,I apologies for my noob questions but would be grateful for your expertise.
Am I right in assuming that such decks like the one above mentioned by Crimefighter can only be constructed by breaking down existing cards into dust and then creating new cards based on the price (in dust) of that card?
(Or alternatively getting the required card in the 5 pack boosters?)

Would love to try him, but I don't have him yet. Deck could definitely benefit from a bit more late game oomph
. Might also try Molten Giants, but not sure how good they will be in the deck.

Sitting pretty happy around rank 13(2) to 12(2) at the moment. Still need to fully understand my deck and its definitely not finalised. Biggest problem is that now I'm coming up against players with cards like Raggy/Leeroy/Grommash and I don't have anything that can compete. Got a Sylvanas in a pack the other day but she's not ideal for me. Was also having issues with late game card draw but I think I managed to sort that out myself.
Is there anybody around my level or higher that fancies getting together for some sparing?

Definitely - GhostlyPea#2670 so hit me up!
Always after tips. I'm awful at arena so I don't usually bother. Can;t log in to Hearthstone here to get my deck as I'm at work but as "finishing" it relies on a number of legendaries it may be WIP for a while

Thanks for this. But if you want to create your own decks surely disenchanting is the old way?
murloc warlocks are usually easy for me on my war build.
Hunters are supper annoying if they can spam a bird + the spell that gives 1 hound with charge per enemy minion fairly early netting them a silly amount of cards.
with hunters I'm usually fine and winning for about 10 turns then they end up 10 cards ahead of me and I just can't do anything at all.
it must be the most boring deck in the game

Yeah I find it dull when people find powerful decks and just play those. Hunters need a nerf. Even watching Massan, trump and gwall they all come up against the same thing with hunters.

For me it depends on which Hunters you are facing. The ladder is full of people playing decks they just googled for. So you normally come up against the face-rush deck, which just empties its hand at you then refills with buzzard/UtH. There is also a Mid Range one that focuses on traps/hero power early to ping you down, with bigger creatures and kill Command to finish later. Both make good use of UtH/Buzzard.
I have learned how to beat the Mid Range one reasonably well, but the rush deck one is a complete card draw lottery still unfortunately. AoE and taunts are the cards you want for that one.
Generally, you want to field a smaller number of powerful minions rather than a lot of small ones. I try not to have more than two out at a time.
That said, Warrior innately does alright vs Hunters because your hero power cancels out theirs, and you can buff your minions up pretty good.
You can also whack them with weapons for damage, which is unaffected by UtH.
pretty much unless you get lucky.
the only good cards I have are
which aren't exactly game changing
I think I spent about £50 on cards as well
I think I only did around 4 arena runs, on my last one I got 6 wins but the reward was kinda crap and didn't feel worth it since I always get crap decks in arena and it's not really fun

I'd say a combination of opening packs and creating the cards you want from dusting those that you no longer need.
I will normally dust cards that I have 3 or more of, or class cards from Heroes that I have no interest in.
Through normal F2P, your collection will build quite slowly. If you spend some money, it will build faster.
Personally I enjoy making my own decks, and get impatient when I don't have the cards I need, so I have spent about £50 on packs to establish a good base collection.
Only thing I lack now is the Legendaries, I think I have 3.
Giants you'll only get on the field if you've taken the damage too so you'd be gambling that you take the heat in trades etc... If you're trying to end by T8 you could possibly add some oddballs like the dmg on hero battlecry 4/4 I have forgotten the name of but they will lose to yeti / druids etc... Leeroy being the other obvious finisher but it's quite the gamble still and can be a dead card all too easily on the wrong draw.
EDIT: I wouldn't dust UtH just yet, you might get full cost back soon. It's a common anyway so you get 5 for it, might as well wait a bit if you can, might be worth 40 in a few weeks.

Hunters are my worst nightmare as Rogue, I started off playing hunter so i faced 3 hunters last night on my rogue. First two i lost because i wasn't aggressive enough and only had no more than 2 minions on the board at a time. Turns out none of them ever had an unleash the hounds all game and must have been at the bottom of their decks.
They just burned me down with steady shot and a few spells and before i knew it i was on 10 health.
So i said next time i play a hunter i will be super aggressive and dominate the board. By turn 4 i had 4 minions on the board and he couldn't summon a minion without me killing it next go.
So at lv 4 he uses bird + hounds he gets insane card draw and i'm dead. No matter how i played i could not kill them.
