Use the gold you get from quests and the 3-win bonuses for packs or Arena and slowly build up to get a few key cards. Pre-Beta wipe my Mage deck was basically 100% free cards and I won most games so it's not impossible. But ofc as with a lot of TCGs, money does help buy power. | ||

That's what I've been doing, but playing with a deck that's the equivalent of a headless chicken is super dissatisfying to me. Oh well, such is the struggle of F2P. | ||

Oh well, such is the struggle of F2P. Hm. I can be very irritating to just be blown out by superior card quality but it's more hiking up a hill than cliff climbing. (Match making is generally good at not pairing you super competitive decks if you're running a free card deck. Generally.) If you're having trouble then you might want to think about how you sequence plays, how you optimise the cards you play, the card selection in your deck, or even the class you play. Some classes function much better with the free cards than others. I remember critiquing... I think it was wei2's HS play in his Twitch chat? So many easy things that add up those incremental % win rates which people sometimes miss! | ||

Basically against mages, you auto lose unless you get the following card combo: Turn 2 watcher -> Turn 3 coin + power overwhelming + void terror. Then you pray to RNGeezus that they are playing the meta and don't have removals. Other alternative ways to win include Turn 3 coin + twilight drake -> turn 4 twilight drake. Its funny when turn 4 mages use a fireball and clear their whole board just to kill 1 drake. I've also recently modified the deck to include Soulfire, in which possible combos include soulfiring yourself to get out molten giants on turn 3 while praying they dont have fireball and trying to win in 2 turns. But yea, its a rough battle against mages... I also never said the deck was good. Its just funny when you win, especially when people get mad. I rarely see people get mad before this and I play priest. About 1/5 of the time I die before I even get to make a 8/8 have taunt. | ||

So many easy things that add up those incremental % win rates which people sometimes miss! You can win with free cards a lot of the time even versus legendaries if you understand card synergy well enough and have at least 2-3 rares that can really make a difference. Really the only thing that you need as F2P is time, and by doing daily quests and trying your hand at arenas you'll get yourself enough packs and dust to make your Argent Commanders, Defenfers of Arguses, and whatever class cards you need. Try sticking with one class to get their class cards first, it's much easier to get a solid deck than it is to get pieces of a few here and there. Find one you like. | ||
