If you can play decently well, grinding arena is definitely the most efficient use of your gold. It is quite time consuming however, but it's fun so as long as you're not in a hurry that doesn't matter too much.

I have something like 1900 gold saved up at the moment, because even though I generally go infinite in arena, the only card I'm missing from the classic set that I really want is Harrison Jones, so I figured I might as well save it.

Can't wait till GvG comes out. I'm gonna do an all day stream of arenas the Saturday after it does (plus an arena or two during my normal streaming times during the week leading up to it).

I'm nearing completion of competitive cards in this format (2 Ancient of Lore, Cenarius, 2 Shield Slam, 1 Brawl, Harrison, Thalnos, Jaraxxus, 1 Mountain Giant, 1 Molten Giant, and Al'Akir),

Should be able to finish this list eventually. I did play a couple Arenas and got a Ragnaros out of them, so that was nice, but thankfully most of these are class specific stuff. I'll probably Craft Thalnos eventually.

DOUBLE POST DON'T CARE

IT'S HEEEEERRE

at least in the arena. Also, free run!

Also, the patch notes are fantastic.

"Druid of the Claw is embracing his wild side and now becomes a Beast minion type upon switching Cat Form or Bear Form." That answers my earlier question about beast synergy with one of the new druid cards. Interesting to see how that pans out.

Don't forget to cash in all those Flares and Gadgetzan's. Had 9 saved up here, cha-ching.

Sadly I only have two gadgets and I'm still gonna run miracle Druid (I don't think the nerf actually hits that deck that hard) but there's no real reason to hold onto flares at the moment, so that'll be some nice dust.

Warrior_Monk · « **Reply #482 on:** December 05, 2014, 01:20:59 AM »

Flare is sooo bad now. Definitely cashing in on all of these nerfs. At worst, I recraft them for the same price.

browarod · « **Reply #483 on:** December 05, 2014, 12:26:46 PM »

I had one of each that I dumped for dust. I was at one point trying to collect the entire card set, but since I don't play Miracle Rogue and don't use Flare in my Hunter deck I think the dust will be more useful (especially for making the new cards).

Also, I played my free arena run last night. Went 3-3 with a mage deck. Had a Flamestrike and 3 Frostbolts but I just couldn't draw what I needed when I needed it. After that I bought another Arena run just because and fell flat with a druid deck going 1-3.

Velen's Chosen is so good in Arena, especially when played on curve on 2 drops. Trades very favorably early game and is especially useful because of the Priest healing. I look at it as a way better version of Blessing of Kings: 1 mana less gets you 2 less attack, but in most cases that 2 additional attack was overkill anyways. The Spell Power can also come in handy with the common Holy Nova's.

Northshire Cleric + Velens Chosen completely stole away my last Arena game. I had a 4/10 Twilight Drake out on Turn 6. Also slightly hilarious was making my opponents Nerubian Egg a 0/8 from two of his own Dark Cultist buffs.

I was going to do that for the 1000 gold and then realized that I really don't want Millhouse Manastorm, Nozdormu, Nat Pagle, Lorewalker Cho, etc. My dust is better spent on GvG.

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #486 on:** December 05, 2014, 07:35:31 PM »

Velen's Chosen is extremely good in general.

I <3 Spider tank.

Enhanceo-Mechano is absolutely INSANE in arena with a full board.

It only gives you 100 gold for collecting the whole set, not 1000

browarod · « **Reply #488 on:** December 06, 2014, 12:33:22 AM »

The collection rewards are so lackluster in HS. Only 100g for collecting every card in the "Expert" set? Goes right along with just the card back you get for defeating all the heroic Nax bosses....

Master KChief · « **Reply #489 on:** December 06, 2014, 01:11:19 AM »

What does Redemption give you when you collect every card from its advanced sets?

Lamborghini_diablo · « **Reply #490 on:** December 06, 2014, 11:39:41 AM »

I had a thought.

Will playing arena nonstop be an efficient way to earn GvG cards? I imagine you'll have a 50/50 chance of earning a basic or GvG pack as your reward. If you just get a bunch of basic packs, that money was essentially wasted on cards you already own.

Pretty sure they said GVG is the new reward.

Ahh, I wasn't aware of that. That's cool.

browarod · « **Reply #493 on:** December 06, 2014, 02:19:54 PM »

Just a random note, you can already get GvG cards outside the arena (not in your collection, but to use during matches) if you have something like Webspinner that draws from a random pool. Got Malorne in a match the other day (druid GvG legendary). Didn't get a chance to play him but just thought it was cool to even see him.
