[@rwcavallero4790]

I think in general this is something that is in every tcg like that not a problem with heartstone in perticular!

[@lightspawn4357]

True, but unfortunately unchangable. To keep the game "spicy" over years and years, developers need to put in more and more content and usually ramp up the whole game basics making older cards look underpowered. Best example might be Yu-Gi-Oh. Twenty year old card game, the tempo nowadays insane. First turn two synchrosummons, no one actually tribute summons anymore, it's far too slow. Heavens sake, they'll have to make the font size smaller if they make the card descriptions any bigger. Now I feel the same for Hearthstone, the game pace is so much faster than in the beginning and the Magnitude of some cards feels ridiculous. It's a personal opinion, but enough to quit the game.

It's still 40 dust, the number he uses is the average ONLY if you buy lots of packs to be statistically significant. 40 is the amount you can make an actual plan for*. Higher numbers are just hope and gambling unless you get a minimum of 40 packs or just go full whale.

On dusting the cards: Decide as late as possible (if you don't have to choose earlier). You may get the additional data in future that may change your mind :)

[@starspaceschool587]

Or try to never dust a card, when it gets nerfed you get full value. Sometimes you get the full value without even disenchanting.

[@Ex0rz]

Dusting cards is rarely a good idea especially if you just started collecting a certain expansion or classic packs. You will start getting those 40 dust packs pretty fast. Especially legendaries are a bad idea to dust, since you cant get two of the same legendary unless golden. If you dust a bad legendary for 400 dust, you might get the same legendary again. BUt if you keep the bad legendary you are guaranteed to get another next time you get one and thats 4x the value...

[@Kamkuts]

ToastyClam I’d also like to know the answer to this question

[@deejayf69]

Rewatching this I think it's also important to ( depending on if you spend actual money on hearthstone or not ) take pre-order purchases into account. Considering that at least in Europe ( since I don't know if prices are different in other regions ) 60 card pack cost 70 euros so buying 120 packs would equal 140 euros but when you pre-order and purchase both bundles for 130 euros cost you 130 euro. So not only do you pay 10 euros less but you gain 10 pack more packs. In addition to that you gain 2 guaranteed golden Legendaries from the expansion set when you do so! Also dat free legendary at the beginning of the expansion. And since after around 80 or so packs you have every common and rare from those expansions in your collection, it'll net you a ton of extra dust meaning you can get some other juicy Legendaries or epics that are strong/that you want in your collection. All I'm saying is that if you want to spend money, have a decent classic collection already and of course have enough money you will be set until the next expansion comes out because it covers A LOT of cards. This is why I consider purchasing pack mid-expansion a waste, at least when you buy them with money. I know not everyone can afford this method of purchase but those are just my two thoughts on the matter.

[@j.b.6855]

There is a diminishing return on buying Classic packs. Since you will get a free pack once a week with the tavern brawl, and you will likely buy some. Sometime in the second year you will likely have the playable cards and most of the legendaries because you will craft the best ones you didnt get. At that point think long and hard about buying more Classic packs since you will continue to get a free one each week and eventually get them all if you continue to play. The rest of the suggestions are good and close to what I do.

[@j.b.6855]

It also depends on what you have crafted. I recommend people in their first year focus on long term collection building. I wrote a post on Hearthpawn to help others with this info included. www.hearthpwn.com/forums/hearthstone-general/general-discussion/211142-mistakes-new-players-make In the first year avoid crafting high cost cards of sets that will rotate out. Focus instead on the Classic set since you will always have them. Presently I am in my second year have most of the playable Classic legendaries. I am missing a few that see some play Al'Akir the Windlord, Grommash Hellscream, Lord Jaraxxus, and Prophet Velen. But I am not buying more Classic packs. I will either get what I am missing in free packs or craft them if I really need them. I am focusing in on the current years sets going forward.

[@Esvald]

Not to mention there are quests that can give you classic packs: Dungeon run, monster hunt and watch and learn comes to my mind.

[@felipeluz5035]

[@CrispyCuda]

I would like to know how being a new player might adjust these recommendations. It would be easy to say the recommendations still apply to new players, but I don't think this is exactly the case. Unless a new player lucks into several cards that all work into one very high tier deck and run with it, it's likely they will have to buy packs as they go. Saving is not really an option for them initially, because doing so will hurt the quality of their decks a lot more than a long time player. Unless they are a masochist, in which case saving may work great for them.

[@sqfzerzefsdf]

honestly this game is horrible to new players, I would suggest you do spend some money if you wanna play the game by doing the prepurchase so that you get a decent amount of the next set and then just save up for upcomming expansions

[@juliansaller9033]

I played the game since four months and I spend about 200 bucks so far. Otherwise gameplay would suck because you couldn't build a tier 1 deck and climb the ladder so fast.

[@MindGem]

I had no idea of the math and reasoning behind this but I'm glad that I do exacly as subscribed, have done for the last 5-6 expansions. I buy all the packs I can afford with gold I have when the expansion drop, maybe create a card and then I play with whatever I have and save all incoming gold for the next expansion. Naturally this means that I'm stuck at rank 20-15 or so because I don't have the cards to build a stronger deck but on the other hand I have not paid a single real dollar for this game.

[@TheHappy115]

I find that using arena to compare dust and gold isn't exactly always the best. I mean, I've seen multiple time where the 12 wins reward has a Golden Legendary in it (along with other rewards). I wish that the 12 wins rewards wasn't just complete RNG like Hearthstone in general. Because usually that card for me is a golden rare. Feelsbadman. When Un'goro came out, I did some research and it turns out if you dusted all cards you got from packs and crafted non-golden AND golden cards of ALL sets (including wild), it would cost about $33,000 (1051925 dust). And that was when Un'goro came out. I'm sure each expansion has increased that amount by a few thousand. Now obviously, no one is gonna dust a card only to recraft it, but it is still quite insane, especially when some of them are no longer collectible through card packs.

[@medojedhoneybadger4721]

Actually you can buy all old packs and adventures on blizzard website they just never told anyone about that.

[@starspaceschool587]

Why would you purposely disenchant cards just to turn around make them again. In reality all the common, rare, and most of the epics would happen from the packs naturally. Then you get roughly 1 legend every 20 packs and now you are guaranteed a unique legend.

[@korhone7077]

13:00 its at this point you will have handful of legendarys " your thinking yeah right " I'll tell you my last expension I opened 82 packs of rastakhan and got 4 leg and the guaranteed leg was the 3-4 so about 70 ish decks for 3 leg which is bad below avg of 20 ...So i kept opening packs for 1 more month from release and got to about 105 packs we got (4 as gift) and alas i found 3 more leg .My point is if you open a lot packs and go for 30+ pecks with no leg don't stop when you open the first leg because the next leg you open should come way faster . It also happened that after a very bad 35+ packs close to pity timer i got double leg pack so yeah the average 20 should always be there if you open enough

[@alexandre588]

If you want a complete collection and/or want to maximize dust accumulation, know that legendaries will always roll as one that you don't have yet (unless you already have all legends of the set). Given that opening a legendary is the best thing you can do to minimize the total dust requirement (-1600 dust cost), and that any pack will do it, you have to look for the second best thing: epics. Always buy packs from which you have most epics missing.

[@duelponzac]

One good tip (although it might be worthless) is to keep track on your golden cards. It just happens that i realized that i had 3k-worth dust if i disenchanted my extra golden copies, but HS didn't told me i could disenchant them. lemme explain: if you have 2x copies of a kind, but you have a golden copy of the same kind, HS wont consider this as a 3rd copy, thus not allocating it amoung extra disenchantable cards. This happens (prob.) cuz HS wants you to keep this golden card, and gives the player the opportunity to chose between keeping the gold one and disenchanting the vanilla copy, OR getting rid of the golden card and getting extra dust. im certainly saving my dust for april, next year, since un goro, DKs and kobolds will rotate out, focusing on the newest year should give me a better upperhand latter on rather than crafting strong legs "from the past".

[@nickmartin3250]

I’m confused with why we would want to hold off on using the dust extra cards button. It doesn’t make a difference when you dust extra cards because you could never use them anyways right? If I had a third copy of a card it’s value would never appreciate any time later unless they decided to change the rarity of a card or something right?

[@car-keys]

Would love a follow-up about arena value.

[@randomdogdog]

I started in the whitchwood, and my strategy to start up my collection is a bit different first i went for 10 packs in each set, and now my goal is 2 legends from each rotating set standard set. my goal was establishing a decent base of commons and rares. i'm getting all of my classic packs from brawl right now, but that's ok. the plan for next year is a third legendary from whitchwood -> and then ~ 50-70 packs from each new expansion with excess going to classic/arena?

amazing work man, thank you so much

[@nikonid0]

some tips for optimize gold for f2p. Always deny a 50 gold quest, because it can transform into a 60 gold quest or even 100 gold or a classic pack quest. Do it EVERY day. I even stop playing few days to continue deny 50 gold quests, but never saturate quests too! If you have 3 quests pending, always finish the highest one, then wait. You I'm playing since beta 2013 and spent under 60 $ on the game. This helps if you don't want to invest your salary into random packs.

[@Graysett]

Nice to see that what i've always done seems to be pretty close to what you've come to. New expansion comes out, i spend all my gold on packs, typically getting between 60-80. For the first few weeks any gold I make goes towards new packs. This period lasts until I get bored of the current constructed meta, which usually happens 3-4 weeks after release. From here on my gold either goes towards Arena runs (because i like drafting) or into more packs of whatever i'm missing legendaries that I want from (usually is the newest expansion, but when it's not it's either Classic or one of the older ones that has a legendary i REALLY want). Once i get my newest legendary from that pack type i stop buying packs of that expansion and let myself make cards out of the dust i've accumulated. Then in the period between expansions all of my gold goes towards Arena (again, because i like drafting). Once the next expansion is announced i stop going into Arena and start saving for the next expansion. New expansion comes out, i spend all my gold on packs, typically getting between 60-80. Repeat. While i'm not FTP (I've bought both of those starter deals or whatever they're called where it's like 5 bucks for a guaranteed legend and a bunch of packs) and i've bought some of the Expansion Wings, I haven't bought packs with actual money in years, nor have i felt the need to thanks to having more than enough dust to make whatever i want when it strikes my fancy. And overall the amount of money I've spent since I started playing (around Naxx) is way lower than the amount i spent on MTG back in my last 2 years of high school, so i'm not complaining.

[@juanolotgn]

You forgot one of my most important rules. Stop spending on packs when you get a legendary, and if you spend again spend until you get the next one (be prepared to buy at least 30 packs). The pity timer is a big portion of a packs expected value - so don't end your pack buying when in the next 5 you have a guaranteed legendary.

I'm so happy, I'm a f2p player and I own almost every relevant legenday and 2x epic card in the game. All my friends are always complaining how hearthstone is a pay 2 win game and they attribute my collection to the fact that I've played since beta and therefore have had more time to build a collection. But without doing the math or anything I've actually done everything this video is telling me to do ever since blackrock mountain came out. I rarely disenchant my cards (I even keep the bad golden ones) and I'm currently sitting on 2000 dust waiting for the next xpac. This video confirms that my strategy is what's building my collection and not just that I'm "luckier and that's why I have all the legendaries"

[@carbonatedcheese523]

Decent video but I had a few questions and comments as a fellow free to play player with a large collection. There's no way that 16.7% of the standard meta is boomsday. Can anyone confirm the statistics at 11:04? I also doubt that the Knights of the frozen throne is only 11.7%. Maybe they're switched? Also, I don't think using the average dust value of packs is a fair metric because the average is skewed by the absurdly rare "unicorn pack" with multiple golden legendaries. The typical budget player probably doesn't open enough packs to reasonably expect the highest value but would certainly expect the lowest value (1 rare, no gold) which is very common. I think the median value could be more informative. Finally (sorry if this is a nitpick) but I found the chosen powerhouse cards from Kobolds and Mean Streets to be odd. While I agree that these sets are more powerful, Razza wasn't really played and was fine until Anduin in KFT. I'd argue that kingsbane was never broken as the deck only beats control and is at least currently functionally a worse but simpler quest rogue. I think cards like kazakus, aya, Drakonoid OP, dragonfire potion, possessed lackey, coridoor creeper, aluneth, psychic scream, Sonya, voidlord, skull of the Manari, and fungalmancer all are more powerful.

Love your channel and your content :D

[@jj-bw3el]

So which month will the next expansion hit?

[@DaniboyBR2]

I didn't understand the part where you say not to disenchant extra cards, you need to wait for them to be nerfed? What if they're not nerfed? I usually just disenchant stuff...

@Kevin Watters lol

YouTookMyAccountName play battlegrounds which is more fun that the original mode*

[@jacky79809]

When should I start saving gold for the upcoming new expansion ?

[@Petrico94]

I can see the logic how a stockpile of cards is more likely to increase in value than the raw dust. However, Millhouse is a poor example for keeping a card, even when Call to Arms was big in the game he was a risky thing to have in hand, it'd be better to have Dirty Rat in his place which has some actual use. Still your point is right, it's better to keep 4 spiteful summoners until you really want to get dust for cards rather than just keep a pile of dust and miss a nerf refund

[@schwarzerritter5724]

Is there any reason to buy classic packs, considering the game constantly gives them out for free?

[@alejandrom.]

Can you make a video for wild players?

[@matykerogaming8691]

Brilliant insight into the 'real meta' in Hearthstone. Thank you

[@honzagondek4580]

When card moves to hall of fame or get nerfed,you get all dust from them and you can also disenchant them after!

[@LEO1WOLF]

Wuh-Oh, then by these theories, I've already gone wayyy overboard. I was always Diablo 1st, W.o.W. 2nd (and those 2 have since swapped places in my game-play) & then just last year, I had given H.S. a chance & am pretty addicted to it. I felt way overwhelmed at first & still am (NOOB, F.N.G., etc. I know)! 1st off: I've got only 1,905 Gold & 1,165 Arcane Dust as of log-in moments ago. I've also got 192 Open Packs & here's the breakdown as to what I've got left to open (sorry, but I can't remember what each deck is called, so I attempted to name them as best I can, based on the colors of the card-backs along with my limited experience in characters/areas of W.o.W.:

[@LEO1WOLF]

28 Purple Triangular Gem (in the center of the deck)14 Un Goro-like (with Green leaves around the button30 Mech or Bot-Like w./Turquoise Gem28 Purple Gem18 Red Gem (in the center of the deck)28 Lich King18 Orc Something or other28 ClassicTOTAL: 192 Decks, yet to be opened

[@LEO1WOLF]

Is there a certain website that can suggest to me the best cards for all of our given Classes please? Thanks for posting this VID, it does help a bit.

[@PMMagro]

Dust let's you choose card by card. Clearly the best way to get cards once you have a bunch already. Gold does open the Arena option though, so with gold you can get cards/dust AND Arena runs....

[@slithos14]

I cant belive I never thought of never dusting until needed, that's actully insanely smart. But now it hits me with a another question, if I have 10 copies of a card will the need give me the extra dust for all 10?

[@stepsgustavo]

At 0:54 it's 6 o'clock but at 0:56 it's 5:59 *thinking face emoji*

[@FreakyNightmare]

Finally opened legendary after long, long, loooooong wait. Gruul.

[@SophaPlays]

My first ever card was Milhouse and then after that a golden Cho ... I feel your pain XD

[@RaventhortheWarrior]

I wouldn't just say that the later sets are stronger because of the shelf life of cards, it's because if the power level is about equal or worse (see: boomsday atm compared to KotFT / Witchwood), you'll see VERY few cards from the set in standard use. Yes, this means people will buy less cards, but the economic ramifcations for blizzard are even worse: people get REALLY bored with the game. Despite the current meta being arguably the healthiest (if slightly polarizing) meta in hearthstone's history, with an unprecedented amount of tier 1/2/3 decks compared to unviable decks, there simply aren't many new cards being used, with giggling inventor even rotating out. This has led to people like Savjz, and much of the community, quitting entirely, and the packs they aren't selling PALES in comparison to people QUITTING the game. I'm actually REALLY shocked to see it say 16.7% of boomsday cards are in the meta (or about 1 in 6.5 cards). I have no idea what boomsday cards those are, but I'm floored. Maybe I'm just mistaken, biased from community opinion, and maybe it's that boomsday cards are very supportive while witchwood/ungoro/etc cards, while fewer, are very deck defining. That's something I'd have to spend a couple hours looking into, instead of brainstorming in a youtube comment. They kinda go hand in hand, but I think it's a distinction that's important to make. It doesn't matter how good the game is right now. Boomsday, at least until the next set rotation, has the healthiest, and most boring, meta, because people have been playing the same decks for a half year now, with small tech differences. The sole exception is Boomsday Odd Warrior (8-12 new cards), and niche mecha'thun decks (basically 3-5ish new cards, but a boomsday card that defines it), but I digress. The end-of-year expansion has the most powerful cards because it HAS to have a REASON to replace previous cards. Blizz couldn't care less about how long cards stick around, they care about people even playing during the expansion. Edit: sorry this was REALLY nitpicky, and the entirety of your video was amazing, I just got carried away on a random point

[@wikbe2]

Its easy to open 5-7 packs per day if u are good at Arena (atleast 7 wins per run)

[@firetarrasque4667]

Okay, as a non-Hearthstone player, is it possible to get cards from expansions that rotated out? How do those work? Are you like, given all of them after they rotate out? What?

[@gabinicolau5252]

boomsday is rotating this year?thanks

[@jesus1021]

I haven't play in over 2 years, but I do watch the funny videos every now and then, it is worth coming back?, are a lot of people still playing it?

[@trigenderpyrofox1383]

oh also, it says on average 20 packs per legendary but iirc the packs are coded so that every 10 packs of the same set is a garuanteed legendary card

[@trigenderpyrofox1383]

[@basslingerland4783]

I believe that's only for your first 10 packs of an expansion

[@rockylosco5596]

Hearthstone needs to be a physical card game too

[@dedamraz3309]

It was from 2004-2013 as far as I remember, it wasn't called Hearthstone but smth from WoW universe

[@rockylosco5596]

DEDA MRAZ ? Never heard of this?please explain

[@freehugs8060]

wait, why shouldn't you press the disenchant extra cards button? It only disenchants copies after the second one, which are absolutely useless and only worth holding onto if there's a chance the card will be nerfed, which may have been the answer to my own question...

[@user-et3xn2jm1u]

Right now I have 3 Giggling Inventors. If I pressed "Disenchant all", I'd go down to 2. But since Giggling might get nerfed in the next couple weeks, I shouldn't do that.

[@amrooo1997]

ITS a Penniless world for us f2p player out there

[@wakasaluli]

I thought that blizzard only offered full dust refunds on nerfed cards for as many as can be put in a deck, not for any extras. Is that not the case?

[@an___ny8027]

As many extras. That is why guys like Kripparian save a shit ton of cards

[@wakasaluli]

I did not know that, thank you :)

[@robosergTV]

Krip has over 300k dust, he doesnt need some 400 dust

[@ZombieSlav]

Agree with most of these advices, but as a completely free to play player, from a ton of experience: dust is absolutely more valuable than gold (1 gold = around 0,7 dust). And about buying single expansion in my personal opinion, don't cross the 80 packs, its waste of gold.

[@rdsim8589]

Since you're free to play, how do you buy 50 packs per set?

[@kthulhuz1664]

Hello Richard! I am myself a free to player, and I buy around 100 packs of each expansion. To get those 10 000 golds, you need to do every quest and reroll 50g quests. I started saving gold around august 20th and I now have 4700.

[@WildcardZwei]

I'm giggling about him picking giggling inventor as an invaluable rare when everyone saw a nerf coming.

[@yDnaRraMAsoJ]

Like the video, ill put this in practice, next expansion... Thanks very useful

[@PhotographsBand]

Astral Rift is good in the new mage giant deck. :p

[@MRbenhoopify1]

I like the video but I don't think blizzard intentionally raise the power level for card sets later in the year. It's really hard for them to know what the meta decks will end up being and the power levels of cards is directly determined by the meta. Also is kingsbane and cube really that powerful? what about the lich king?
