Man so much I want to say right now but being on my phone is fairly prohibitive.
Mordek I can talk to you a little about my conspiracy draft if you want but I imagine you're looking more for general advice/tactics than what specifically happened to me, so this may be useful to you. http://zackfreedman.com/2014/06/06/mtg-conspiracy-archetypes/ If you do want to know of specifics I'll gladly share later... Maybe if you're around at some point tonight you can help me get cockatrice running?
As for HS all this constructed talk plus the need to save for g+g probably means I should stop arena-ing for now and just do dailies for gold and grind just a little. It's a shame because I'm short just a couple good class legendaries and useful epics to have basically all I would need.

I've had breaks of months on end but I'm still a bit discouraged of "farming" considering the low probability of getting the rares+ I miss (and the huge cost of crafting). I think I have almost all commons by now, and even rares I mostly miss Druid/Hunter cards, which I don't really play. I only have Nat Pagle and The Black Knight as legendaries and miss almost every epics.
Sooo many singletons Soniv. Also no Flare? Are secret decks less prevalent, or is it because the Hunter nerf means there's enough of non-Hunter decks to make it less autopick?
For a while I was basically playing just enough to finish my quests every few days. More recently I've been firing it up while watching shows with my wife and getting a little extra gold on the side.
I play super casually, and primarily joke/gimmick decks. Like, this is what I run:
Steal/Copy all the cards Priest.
Every secret I own Mage.
Who needs low cost minions Druid.
Haunted by my demons Warlock.
Power of the God Hand Paladin.
My favorite being the priest. I had a game yesterday where I Thoughtstole two Thoughsteals, which each Thoughstole another Thoughtsteal. The deck just lends itself to hilarity and I love it.

It's entirely possible he was running 2. Now that I think about it more, I think he was. Just unsure what to cut out for the 2nd one, maybe 2nd Loot Hoarder?
I've had really good success with it. I basically play 3 times a week, maybe, sometimes more but it's almost always just to get my quests done and maybe an arena Saturday morning. I got to rank 10 without grinding with that deck.
I've really been wanting to see if I can put this Doomhammer and 2x Lava Burst deck together and pilot it since I opened a Doomhammer last week and already have pretty much everything else I think.
Way too much hunter talk for my cells' health. What's the idea behind the "haunted" in your Warlock deck Monte (I put Rivendare in my version of the demonlock since I lack a bunch of epics and every useful non-Naxx legendary, it isn't optimal but when I get an opening it's hilarious to use power overwhelming on an egg then void terror it + a harvest golem), and what's the "God Hand" paladin? Divine shield spam?
You probably have more info about hunters than Murlocs Cixah.

I think it was something like this. It uses more traps than the list I'm running now, and it seems pretty fun/faceroll to play.
I def feel like Aggro Hunter is worse than Midrange.
There are no more "midrange" hunter decks. The only difference is if you run loatheb or not. Pretty much all hunter decks run Belcher/Highmane , largely 1-2 drop deathrattles, 2 bows and animal companions as 3 mana drop. Undertaker is just that good.

It's hilarious and I love it. But the thing is, I'd love to give more deck archetypes a shot - miracle rogue looks hella fun, so does control warrior. I just don't have the cards yet. So I'll happily accept my cancer and grind away for gold.

The Warlock deck is literally all the demons, all of them. There's not much room for anything else!
Power of the God Hand is a mix of two concepts:
Divine Shield Minions + Redemption
Molten Giants + Holy Wrath
It's all for that one game in twenty where you smack someone in the face for 20 damage on turn 5. Being super annoying with super Divine Shield Value is just icing on the cake.

Also would just like to share an ego moment. Yangers totally asked ME for advice last night about a game where I have more knowledge than him.
Yes, brb.
Awesome brag moment for you. @Monte thank you for that.
About Conspiracy, it was more of, is this worth? kinda question. I've basically just listened to the Limited Resources podcast on it and it sounds fun and I figured if you thought it was fun and "viable" in your situation it probably translates well for me I'll probably just wait and see if friends cube draft with me often enough and then go ahead.
Cockatrice will have to wait... I have to travel for a wake and funeral today/tomorrow. I can probably text over skype and that may be enough, it's not too technically difficult. Probably more a matter of remembering what I did and not being able to google well on my phone for most recent card list etc.

I still remember that game where you linked me that vid. I thought "yeah right this isn't going to work" and then I was smacked in the face for 20 damage.

Poor Miscue got 20'd in back to back games. It's so hilarious when it works. Deck gets carried by Redemption/Divine Shield shenanigans when it doesn't.
