I would pick some of the galakrond deck or the mage one over 1000 times. Mage one gives so great cards to you and all galakrond decks gives Kronx.

This is cool but I wish every player got a free deck. Not everyone can afford all the cards :(

The Mage or the Rogue, for sure. 

I have a sad little chuckle thinking about the players that have been away for only 3 months and 20 days. Is there even a way to check how long it's been since you were online? That would be very, very helpful right now for some...

Just wanted to check. You only get one of the decks, correct?

I'm a little torn about arrangements like this. On one hand it provides returning players with an incentive, on the other hand, why wouldn't FTP players just unpack their packs day 1, play a little, then go on a 4 month hibernation just so they can get the free cards? Some of the legendaries do look very very good.

I'd go for rogue.

Galakrond's Guile seems strong and legend viable.

You only get 1 yes.

As for your apparent concern: if people enjoy the game enough to want to bother exploiting this, they are surely better off actually playing the game and generating resources the old fashioned way. Else the cards serve no purpose.
