f2ps, how is your RoS collection going so far?

For me, I got most of the important cards, missing few mage and rogue cards and the bomb package for warrior. but should have enough dust to craft them. Probably will open RoS packs as much as I can till the expansion release, craft what I need left. then start collecting the new cards.

I got every common double as well as the rare cards. Got 5 legendarys, and I stopped buying packs one week in, and just saved up for the adventure. Since I bought that, I saved everything for the next expansion. Probably won't craft anything anymore.
Do you guys just play in the lower ranks then? Of the few legendarys (and epics) you must have as a F2P player what decks can you create?
I'm rank 5 right now, using midrange hunter. I decided not to craft Zilliax, Hagatha or any of the other important year of the raven cards (the mechs come to mind). because they would be only useful for like 8 months. I already had dr.op and Zuljin though.
Here are my stats
Packs opened: 107
Commons: all
Rares: almost all (missing second Underbelly Angler, both Sunreaver Warmage and both Recurring Villain)
Epics: 23 (+1 golden), but got 5 Hench-Clan Hag and 4 Magic Carpet
Legendaries: 4 (Barista Lynchen, Scargil, Swampqueen Hagatha and Fel Lord Betrug)
If I have to judge my opening, I'd say I am a bit unsatisfied: I was expecting at least 1 more legendary (Oblivitron/Arch-Villain Rafaam) and a couple different epic (I would have loved to get Nine Lives and Big Bad Archmage), but here we are anyways.
I've been hitting at least rank 5 every month since RoS launch, but I failed to get legend for the first time. I guess it was an ok result of mine

Surprised you didn't craft that second Underbelly Angler for some sweet murloc shaman action. Given you unpacked Scargil and Swampqueen Hagatha, I'd have thought it was an easy decision. Any reason why?
May all your legendaries be golden.
I was thinking the same thing. Are you allergic to murlocs? They are pretty gross.
no they're not
F2Pers once they are established (can spend most of the time saving, have a strong Classic collection, so on) get around 3-4 random legendaries in packs, 1 additional legendary via Blizzard, then enough dust for another 2-4 more depending on how many epics they need. That's EVERY set.
A typical good deck uses, at most, 2 legendaries from one set. Even if they require a lot of legendaries, they get spread out among the 4-7 sets we have and many tend to overlap. You don't exactly need to keep remaking Zilliax for every deck that requires it.
Thus if you manage your dust correctly, haven't been mass dusting early in life, and don't blindly craft cards based on hype, you can easily craft a good few top tier decks every set. Note that you typically only really need ONE deck to go up ladder.
I've spent $10 in the game since open beta, and all of those purchases were optional. The literal ONLY reason I *EVER* can't create a deck is because I didn't want to make it. I typically make tier 2-3 decks I find interesting, sometimes homemade, sometimes grabbed from a tournament or the forums. I'm not AGAINST making top tier decks but most of them are 'solved' so I don't find them too interesting. I'm sitting on over 5k dust, still haven't dusted my most recent set of gold cards, I have some legendaries and epics I can dust if I need more and pretty much my entire collection of Wild cards, most of which are useless even if I go to play Wild. Note that I also aren't that great in arena, NEVER get more than 10-20 gold off of hte 3-win quest, and don't play enough to reach rank 5 so there's a LOT of gold and dust I'm NOT getting that other more dedicated players can get.
The F2P problem in hearthstone is in GETTING to this point, as the first few months are a NIGHTMARE, especially when there's no cheap deck to climb, and you have to split your gold between new cards and classic. You typically get established once Classic fills out and the sets you don't have rotate out.
But as far as any paywalls for getting to the higher ranks: those don't exist here. You DO have a paywall for experimenting (those first two weeks when everyone is playing with new cards and making bad decks? You are stuck with Arena or random Wonderful decks) and you can't make every deck that shows up. Otherwise, you get the choice of playing to win or playing to have fun, and can't really do both (unless winning = fun to you)
Why trade with minions when you can face for...billions?
I'm not a big fan of Murlocs. I'm kind of neutral towards them (no love, no hate), unless I need to farm some easy gold. To be fair I'm more of a Control player, but given the alternatives in these last few months I had to fall back on Midrange Hunter.
Moreover, both Scargil and Hagatha are niche components to Murloc Shaman

Did you say something? All I hear is "MRRGRRLGLLLL!!!"
This mainly depends on how long you play. If you rarely miss any dailys, take no breaks and always reach rank 5, you can get a huge collection without spending anything. I am playing since May 2015. Typically I buy all my packs (about 80) day one and start saving up for the next expansion, currently I am at 6.5k gold.
Crafted, 2 Waggle Picks, 1 Mana Cyclone. 1 Omega Defender, 1 Astromancer, Archivist Elysiana and Kalecgos for my decks. Can play Lackey Rogue, Galaxy Freeze Mage, Spectre Mage and Cyclone Mage, Midrange- and Bomb Hunter decks. Also had Control Warrior without bombs until the Elysiana nerf.
I don't disenchant any rotated cards and play a lot of different Wild decks.
