i was not offered these decks, but then i have every card already so i dunno why they would. they could have offered me some golden packs on sale or something instead though.

I’ve got ~400 dust currently, so dust isn’t a factor either. I dusted my collection and already crafted cards from the current sets that I know I will use with the upcoming expansion.
So right now I only got a very small collection and only 400 dust and around 350 gold. I’m one of the “poorest” players that they could target with this offer.
Some of their systems don’t count what you have, but what you had “either remaining or had and dusted” (or in this case they might just count logged-in-time).
BTW why dd you dust an entire NEW expansion?
I really hope this becomes part of the Welcome Bundle for new players.
Preconstructed decks are much better than Packs or singular Legendary cards.
Since I am mainly F2P and only buy Arena access with real money, my collection is always small/medium sized compared to people pre-ordering. So the only way to try new deck ideas and get the cards for it is to dust what I have but don’t use anymore.
I craft a deck, play it for a couple of weeks, then dust it and build a new one from the dust.
This is the most inefficient way to F2P Hearthstone that I have ever heard

I guess it would be more efficient to be bored for weeks and just grind and farm until you can afford to craft the next deck instead of just dusting and crafting it right away and having fun in the present.
This is completely wrong way to F2P this game.
You shouldn’t dust ANYTHING until it is either (a) nerfed so you get full value or (b) rotated out of standard.
If you save gold you can get nearly a full bundle worth of packs just from the reward track.

If what you do is working for you to achieve this goal, have at it. I just wouldn’t advise anyone else to do this

No it’s not.
I don’t see any reason to keep cards I don’t plan to play at all while I have very specific cards and decks I want to play right now. And most cards don’t ever get nerfed. F2P players don’t have the luxury to wait a year until they dust stuff if they want to enjoy the game in the meanwhile.
If I wanted the full bundle I would just buy it with real money. F2P is about cutting corners in exchange for the ability to play the game F2P.
The actual wrong way to play F2P is to behave like someone who pre-orders, trying to build whole collections. At this point you’re just depraving yourself and make your life harder than it needs to be.
You don’t need a full collection, but you do need a coherent strategy, and constantly dusting and re-crafting is incoherent and honestly unlikely to actually work at all. I think you’re just trolling

It’s amazing how wrong you are and I have the collection to prove it.
You get fractional dust return for dusting cards. Saving your copies and cards until they get nerfed means one rare or legendary nerf nets me more dust than your entire decks.
The fact that I can make any deck I want without dusting something else to do it is the proof you have no idea what you’re talking about.

This is the basics about temporal preference.
Blizzard not even Care about creating real rarity because when you give most people the choice of get a real collection via the game economy or Just be dust everything to create Just one deck and nothing else the people who sacrifice the present are Very rare.
In fact i would even say that it is one of the most generous system in the market but it also gives margin for people put themselves in a corner like this.

It is in part why i defend they create a gacha like system for signature cards and skins.
So they can make the maintenance of the actual model on the stuff you need to play the game.

It is a coherent strategy. By playing the game with all the rewards and the Arena runs I’ll have enough resources coupled with dusting a deck that I became bored of to build something new. It’s a sine-wave and each time it reaches peak I’m ready to build another 2-3 decks.
Yeah, the average small mind thinks that if it can’t make sense of something. Never question yourself and your ability to understand something, if you don’t get it, everyone else must be wrong because you can’t.
Unfortunately most cards won’t be nerfed, that happens to 10 out of 145 cards. So you’ll wait forever.
No, it only proves that your imagination isn’t strong enough to realize that your particular playstyle may not match others’, and therefore won’t result in the same amount of gold being available at any given time in relation to specific goals, even if the same number of cards are dusted.
The vast majority of people who play Ranked are absolutely terrible in Arena. If you’re actually decent in the mode and you commit the time to it, you’re going to have a completely different and almost unrelatable mindset towards F2P.
Honestly I haven’t played Arena since the barcode infestation, idk if it’s gotten better. But I used to be top 100 NA.

I don’t play arena, so I cannot appreciate the resources you might be able to gain. Without being able to factor in arena rewards, I have to go back to what I said earlier, which is

Even if he’s great at Arena, I wouldn’t either. The type of skill needed to go infinite or semi-infinite in Arena is very rare, especially since bot-fueled barcode decks have plagued the mode. Just because it’s possible doesn’t mean that it’s easily replicated.

THose ten cards are more dust than you get from repeatedly dusting your decks. And it’s way more than ten because if you’re doing it right you have multiple copies of the rares and commons. I regularly get thousands of dust each nerf pass, and the come every month now.
The fact that you can’t see the longer term strategy is better says a bundle about your personality. It’s not about playstyle as it is about maximizing resources and potential resources.
Are you stting on 20k dust while still have a full list of playable decks in standard? I am now, but I certainly did not when I dusted everything as you describe. I haven’t even dusted wild cards in a couple years because I’m just flush with stuff from waiting.
And neither would I. It’s the worst possible way to approach this game.
