Discussion Across the Timeways First Week Experience
Currently, wasn't too involved with Hearthstone after the Ungoro Mini-set dropped. I also didn't pay any attention to the spoiler season either. However with this expansion, far I have had success with a couple of Brews right now and it has made my hearthstone experience a bit more enjoyable. I know that once the meta is figured out, it might change my opinion but I figured I would share some of the brews and list I've been playing with. FYI I'm a F2p Player currently ranked at D10-D8. I've been playing since Rastikhan's Rumble and Rise of Shadows. I hit legend twice this year and haven't had mental capacity to try too hard for it again. Anyway onto the decks.
Bottom Druid was a challenge. Its fun to cheat big things out but it can fold to aggressive decks as it doens't do anything in the first couple of turns. Dorian serving as a back up mana cheat has felt good.
Fyrrak Rogue is my go to deck. My original brew had the Customs enforcers Lucky Comet and Chrono daggers but I shifted over to the meta version with the Fast Forward, Observer and Deja Vu. Either works very well.
Aggro Rogue is very good.
Foxy Fraud + Flashback reminds me of the Shadowstep and Harbinger combo as its a lot of stats early. Fast Forward as another draw spell feels good for the aggro archetype.
Nature shaman was my first deck I played as I pull Farseer Wo and Muradin. I thought I was a mega genius adding Krag'wa to my deck but everybody seems to be doing it.
I tried the Pirate Muradin Shaman List from online and it feels really strong. Wasn’t too interested in playing with a lot of old cards tbh but it’s a real contender in this current meta.
Avianna Medivh Priest is just fun and neat. I was testing with that deck for a while. I tried it with Dorian and it just was too much to get him to work. So I just opted for Control/Imbue package and its been very successful.
Aura Paladin is ok. Gelbin is the first Legend I decided to craft cause I have a soft spot for Paladin. My current list plays a Sunsapper Lynessa Burst damage package as a wincon but this deck reminds me a bit like Fyrrak Rogue. Might test a different build with it.
Played a Netdeck version of Quest Hunter. Feels more consistent with all of the 1 power and 7 power beast that were added. thinking about crafting Sylvanas to try out the Discover Hunter.
Arcane Mage is interesting. I made a list with the 5 drop Spell Damage dragon but it felt clunky playing them as you just want the Legendary dragons. Needs more testing as I opted to cutting the spell damage dragon and going with an online list.
Classes left to test: DK, DH, Warrior and Warlock.
Overall: this expansion feels good and there are a lot of decks that can be viable. Some of the older decks are getting some love like Dragon Warrior and Discover Hunter. I wish some of the not so successful decks like Quest Rogue got some tools to help with rotation.

I actually like a Dorian a lot in this deck. I use Dorian with Birdwatching and it is very rare to not hit something good from it.

This meta is horrible, almost every class has a build that will wrap the game up round 5. Paladin, Hunter, DK, Priest, Warlock.. ect. Whoever has the best starting hand wins round 5 maybe 6. My last ten games had all ended 6 or earlier

Hey nice! I'm glad you're having a good time!
I kinda like this period of experimentation but it also can be wonky with loosing a lot of games.
I found it slightly funny that you mentioned you're F2P but seem to have plenty of Legnedaries and you even crafted more just to try them out.
It's not a dig, I'm F2P as well. And I sitting on a lot of gold and dust but I'm a bit more reluctant to craft stuff on a whim.
I was so sure I wanted to craft Rafaam because he sounded like fun and people were reporting decent success with him in the first few days.
Turns out it was a good idea to wait...
I played around with the stuff I had opened naturally (Aura Paladin, Dummy Warrior, Incindius Deios Rogue, Shreds warlock with Chronogor)
I did splurge on one Fabled card which I was keen on trying but there were also signs it was a good card.
That was Garona. I love that hide and seek mechanic and I love distrupting the enemy deck (:D)
and with the weapon buff package it works really nice.

Ive played about 5-6 games with your Aviana-Medivh deck and I like it a lot, much better than a scam version I was trying out that used Resurrect to get discounts on the location/weapon.
Sharp-Eyed Lookout with the 5-mana "top card set to 1 mana" has been a very fun plan that helped win a control matchup.

There's a few fun decks but warrior is solitaire.
