First
thing's first: it's a tremendous improvement. Not sure if it's where it
needs to be, but that will come as the meta polishes out.
Play style is still a little clunky, having to make sure you cast WoD
every few seconds. It's going to feel pretty button-mashy until the
muscle memory sets in. But having the damage buff character-based is the
right move.
Adding ZD to the list of buffed skills brings TMF back into the conversation. It becomes a huge damage dealer when out of mana.
The addition of Grin Reaper mimics to the Helltooth party finally
makes the mask not just useful, but absolutely required. It really sings
with Acid Cloud and Piranhado, though I didn't see any huge damage
boost when running Spider Queen. There was a lot going on on screen, so I
may have missed their damage.
SuWong Diviner (Acid Cloud staff) is legit. Slow attack speed
prevents crazy mana spending. Vision Quest and Blood Ritual were good
for mana replenishment.
I'm probably not close to a polished build yet, but I have an ancient SWD and T10 was a challenge but not ridiculous.
My build on Day 1 (subject to tremendous change): Helltooth helm, shoulders, gloves, chest, pants, boots; Belt of
Transcendence; F+R; Hellfire amulet; Jeram's Bracers. Cubed ring is TMF,
armor is Grin Reaper. Weapon is SMK, though for Ubers I had to switch
to UkSerp.
Skills so far are Acid Cloud - Lob Blob Corpse Bomb once I
got SWD, Widowmakers, Fire Dog, Piranhado, WoD, and either BBV or Hex -
Jinx.
Passives are SV, Blood Ritual, Vision Quest, Midnight Feast, and
(Hellfire) Fierce Loyalty.

Greetings, I’m Sheng, a Legend rank constructed and 7+ win-average arena player. I run HearthstoneCoaching.com where our coaches have helped many students achieve the same results. Introduction Last month I released a set of Starter deck guides for new players
built from the Basic, Naxxramas, and Blackrock Mountain card sets. In
the past month, I've received a lot of questions from readers about how
they could upgrade their deck over time with cards they open from
booster packs.
Initially, I set out to build a mega substitution chart, but found
that it wasn't able to capture the synergy between cards that's so
important for top-tier constructed decks.
Thus, I've written a new series of guides geared towards the same
audience of players who have completed the single player expansions, and
want to further improve their decks. Budget Restrictions In order to emulate the collection of a player who has only played
Hearthstone for a little while, I wanted to set a realistic limitation
on the cards I could include into each deck. After some though, I came
up with this criteria.
Access to all cards in the Basic, Naxxramas, and Blackrock
Mountain card set. The thought process here is that most players would
be willing to spend money on the single-player adventures. They're a
really good deal and are not worth grinding for with gold.
Restricted to only using Commons and Rares from booster packs, with the total cost of a deck not exceeding 1000 dust.
Guide Breakdown Now that you know the criterion for building these decks, here's what each guide includes, for every class.

Conclusion
I've spent significantly more time on these guides this time around,
and recorded and edited myself playing each deck, as I've received
feedback that this is helpful.
I've also brought back the upgrades section in case people want to see what an unhindered version of the deck looks like that may
be capable of reaching Legend rank. This time it includes direct
substitutions, so you don't have to wonder about what cards to keep or
take out. It's very clear. The Guides
Budget Midrange Druid is an extremely flexible deck that is built
around the efficient mana-acceleration of cards like Innervate and Wild
Growth. With this extra mana, a Druid is able to play mid-game threats
early, making it extremely difficult for opponents to catch up.
Budget Face Hunter’s goal is to beat your opponent down as quickly
as possible. The general theme of the deck is to get onto the board
extremely quickly with minions like Leper Gnome and Worgen Infiltrator,
and then finish opponents off with direct damage spells and charge
minions.
Budget Tempo Mage’s goal is to control the board early on with
extremely cost-efficient minions that synergize remarkably well with
Mage’s cheap class spells.
Budget Aggro Paladin seeks to claim the board early and never put
the foot off the gas. The goal of the deck is to play small
cost-efficient minions that benefit from each other and to overwhelm
your opponent before they have answers.
Budget Control Priest is a deck that utilizes Priest’s ability to
heal as an offensive and defensive weapon. The two key minions in our
deck are Northshire Cleric, which serves as a card draw engine and
Auchenai Soulpriest which allows us to use Circle of Healing, Zombie
Chow, and our hero power offensively.
Budget Mech Rogue is a midrange deck whose goal is to utilize
Mechwarper to develop a board of Mechs as quickly as possible while
eliminating our opponent’s threats using Rogue’s efficient removal
spells.
Budget Mech Shaman is a midrange deck whose goal is to utilize
Mechwarper to develop a board of Mechs as quickly as possible, and then
utilizes the burst from Windfury cards and Fire Elemental to finish off
opponents.
Budget Zoo Warlock is an aggressive deck that relies on the
synergies between its many small minions. In addition, cards like
Imp-losion simultaneously help build board for you while eliminating
opponent’s threats.
Patron Warrior might just be the most synergistic deck in the
history of Hearthstone. Each card in this deck works towards our
strategy of surviving until we can bring out Grim Patron or Frothing
Berserker to kill our opponent off in a single-turn. Thanks to the low
cost of this deck, we haven’t cut too many cards from it to stay within
our budget with the notable exception of Grommash Hellscream which isn’t
completely necessary.
Don't have 1000 Dust? Don't worry, I've got you covered. Check out my previous Starter deck series that don't require any dust to build.
Conclusion Deck construction was one of the hardest things for me to learn when I
first picked up this game, so I hope this will help you guys that are
newer to the game bridge that gap. As always, I'd be very happy to answer your questions on this thread or on the guides themselves. Enjoy! Want to learn more?

Reaper is one of the stealthiest characters in Overwatch and moves
around the map quietly. His abilities allow him to sneak up on opponents
at which point he can activate his Hellfire Shotguns to take them out.
Reaper is going to be one of the most offensive characters in the game
and can dish out incredible damage if played correctly.
Reaper's abilities: - Hellfire Shotguns (LMB) - Shoots his shotguns, powerful at short range. They alternate between shots. -
Wraith Form (Shift) - Allows Reaper to move around with ease and close
the distance between enemies. The Reaper is invulnerable in wraith form,
but can be seen by the enemy. Reaper can not attack while in this mode. -
Shadow Step (E) - An ability that allows Reaper to teleport around the
map as long as he can see where he wants to go. There is a short cast
time where he can not move. - Death Blossom (Q) - Reaper's strongest
ability that deals massive amounts of Area of Effect damage. Kills
restore health, but Reaper does take damage while it's channeling. The
range on it short.
As Reaper, you can sneak up on enemies, or
get behind the tank and wait for the perfect moment. Decision making is
going to be key, and will make Reaper one of the hardest to play
characters. Reaper will also be very dependent on the team. Without a
support or a tank, he is going to be very difficult to play properly.
The average amount of health of characters in Overwatch is 250
hitpoints. Reaper can kill most targets in 3 hits, as long as he is in
close proximity. Reaper excels at short distance.
Lorewise, the
Reaper is a mercenary. He is a ruthless and remorseless killer
responsible for taking out Overwatch agents all around the world. He
does not seem to be loyal or bound to any specific organization. One of
the theories is that Reaper is a byproduct of a failed genetic
alteration which forces him to simultaneously decay and regenerate at
the same time. All in all he is very mysterious as much is simply not
known. What is known is that where Reaper appears, death follows. He
could be trying to hunt down former Overwatch agents to eleminate them.
