I dunno, Webspinner hasn't done much for me (apart from giving me a Mukla once) in the 7-8 games I played for my quest today, and the other half-dozen last time I had a Hunter quest. Hauting Creeper is more annoying (mainly because I play a bunch of rogue, otherwise the 1 attack wouldn't bother me) but the worst is by far the mad scientist t2 -> eaglehorn bow t3 standard opening.
Actually, traps are by far the worst, it's just that that happening pushes them even further. Their trigger conditions are so close between explosive trap and freezing trap, and you have to test freezing first because if it's explosive and you're running low health minions you lose everything. But you can't test it with your hero (in case of rogue/warrior like I play) so you pretty much have to sacrifice a minion no matter what.
I guess it's easier for stronger late classes/decks who can afford to stall a few turns without hitting stuff while they play defensive options and try to draw an answer. My backspace just lose to an early explosive trap unless I have amazing draw to rebuild a board/tempo though.
People seem to run more control too, with taunts and stuff, and my Leroy-less deck has been losing to sub-8 HP people more and more often because of it (I have to all-in to try and make them panic/attempt to clear the board while I hope to draw something that allows me to finish them despite an empty board or a taunt, like deadly poison to combo eviscerate and maybe blade flurry, and obviously it's far from always cutting it). Not sure what I'll play, priest decks seem to have changed a bunch from a few months ago so I don't know how to play that anymore, and I don't have the cards to play true control (like ancients for druid) nor any legendary which are often used as finishers. Maybe I should still stick to Priest and use stuff like Mindcontrol to punish the more control-y tendency and the legendaries played against me.

Continue the rewatch of Monogatari by going through Nise and watching TSM flop vs Dig.

How budget? Like no hunter epics?

Webspinner is a 1/1 cantrip that gives a guaranteed beast, in addition to being a beast itself. It, essentially, removes the need for Hunter to keep around shitty beasts like Croc or Turtle to Houndmaster up, and can also be combo'd with buzzard for even MORE value. It's not a massive swing like mad scientist is, but it makes Hunters MUCH more consistent.
Unlike the other Hunter 1/1s like timber wolf or boar, you can also play it turn 1 and not care too.
Something they kinda needed.

Define budget. Do you have Naxx cards? Epics? If not, your hunter is going to be much weaker.
EDIT: THIS is about as low cost as you'll get.

You can try and substitute some cards, but without Naxx this'll be what it looks like.

Alright, recording for tonight set via Xfinity online. If it does not record, I riot.

Figure out why I can't purchase Breezehome, then watch LCS and maybe play some Dota or League before/after getting pizza. In other words, an incredibly lazy, Saturday afternoon.

Frudges if you win I will paint one of my remaining 40k models of your choice as detailed as I can.
Shelke if you win I'll only buy Lay's chips in solidarity.
What models do you have? Do you have any Space Marine models?

Frudgey i supported you <3. and Shelke i bought your new wasabi and ginger lays chips. they are good, but its BS they are in a competition with something called bacon mac n cheese chips. thats such a damn unfair competition no matter how good the wasabi is no one is going to try it as much as the bacon one. -.- so stew on that one for 30 days.

Let's see, as far as Space Marines/Imperials go, I have:
Space Wolves
Krom Dragongaze (Wolf Lord with Frost Axe and pistol)
Rune Priest
2 SM Captains that I'm going to convert into SW HQs
5 Grey Hunters
5 Blood Claws
Stormtroopers
Commissar
Scion Command Squad
15 Scions
Taurox Prime
And of course, 1 Imperial Knight that is still sitting in a box
Other than that, Necrons.

Today my plans are D&D and Dark Souls. I'm trying the low level one-shot challenge, where you have to start at soul level 1 and you can only level up by one-shotting or two-shotting bosses and minibosses. It involves a lot of farming souls to upgrade the pyromancy flame.

Yeah I don't have many epics apart from Manipulators (one of them I crafted recently to try Demonlock, before realising I just lose a bunch of games due to using a budget version anyway) and it shows in most classes (apart from Rogue where only Miracle uses one epic card and they're much more reliant on legendaries instead).
The webspinner often ends up being played turn 1 for me. Hyenas are hard to use because whenever I trigger a snake trap or UtH they won't survive the turn, and even if they did playing the hyena means it won't attack till another turn, so it gives time to prep/remove it.
Snake trap in general seems meh unless they don't have much on the board, including no taunts, and I have stuff like Timber Wolves/Dire wolves to buff them next turn. Most of the time when I have a secret on board and I play Buzzard, they'll ping it rather than aggro it because of the risk of Freezing Trap I assume, which means the bait doesn't work.
I end up not having many "stable" minions apart from Animal Companion since they're either buffs (wolves/houndmaster) or part of a combo (hyenas, buzards, etc.)
So my stable minions are webspinners (hoping for a good "draw"), mad scientists, animal companions and haunted creepers (it's more hoping they'll be an annoyance than really dealing damage though; I guess I should see them as more of a "cheap 1-drop killers" with the added value of dealing with a 2-drop (or even 3-drop if that's what killed the creeper itself) over a few turns.

I had something like 2k gold from my runs before (didn't make it to "infinite" but regularly racked up 5-6 wins so with the quests and not making more than 2 runs a day I slowly accumulated it), even by doing quests almost every day I only opened the last wing 2 day after it was out, it's hugely expensive if you didn't save up. 
Packs make cards ~20 gold on average, so 40 a set of two, meaning 30 new cards would be ~1200 gold. Even considering you won't use several cards if you don't play all classes, and some aren't exactly worth it (people don't freak out enough when you play Stalagg/Feugen unless you're Shaman, darn D: ), a lot of the price is for the fun factor (man Kel'Thuzad's VO isn't that bad in French compared to English in general, but his battle emotes in original are so much better) and the "stability" of your cards (eg. not random).
I don't get setting a rarity to the Naxx cards by the way (apart from the legendaries obviously), since it's not like there's a random factor into acquiring them, or the possibility of disenchanting them. It's only for the price of crafting golden versions (you can't get them in a pack either).
