Im looking to come back to the game. I feel a bit behind on the card curve since I havent REALLY played since KaC. With the beloved Frozen Throne cards leaving and a new cycle beginning I figure now is as good a time as any.
Any advice on getting back in?
Well you missed the previous 3 expansions and the cards that you have are rotating out.
There are several options but that depends on what you want to play.
in wild you can obvious still use your collection and slowly gain recent expansion packs from there , you will have a guaranteed legendary within the first 10 packs of each seperate expansion and you still can buy the packs for ingame gold.
You could throw some money at it and receive most common and rare /epic cards from rise of shadows but then you will only have the cards from the upcoming expansion.
You could also disenchant your whole previous collection that you dont use IF you are CERTAIN that you only want to play standard but then again i dont recommend this cause you probally know it would be a waste.
But then again i dont know what your current gold/dust value is since you said
I have 2000 gold and 4000 dust saved currently
and im sorry I played a little bit during the witchwood and i bought the preorder for rahstakan rumble but didnt play it at all. I forgot bout that
Well from my view as a long time player this next expansion is kinda exciting for me and i did not always have this like rasthakan just did not do it for me.
But what i would do if you wont spend any money on it then start playing and buy rise of shadow packs with your remaining gold and at launch you could already craft almost 3 legendary’s plus you will get one again withing the first 10 packs.
Though you need like 80-120 pack openings to have all the commons and rares and epics from a expansion.
With a lot of gold and rotating cards, Arena is probably the only viable mode now.
