I agree with most of what Oracle said. If you're not someone like me who drops a ton of money on this game, you shouldn't be crafting until the meta stabilizes.

The only thing I disagree with is what deck to climb with. Climb with your highest win rate deck. Speed of games has almost nothing to do with it. You can be playing a very viable deck, like Pirate Warrior, and average games be 4 minutes 30 seconds, and not climb because of what your meta is. Meanwhile, if you choose Recruit Paladin, maybe your average games are 7 minutes long, but you maintain a 4% higher winrate. That would cut the grind by hours and hours.

But this early into this expansion, I'm not even sure there is a meta.
