Hearthstone Buyer’s Guide – Classic Cards
This is a guide for anyone who is wondering how best to spend their dust in the Hearthstone with the classic cards. Buying cards with dust can be a daunting task, especially for those just starting out in the game. Spending dust on classic cards is particularly useful since those cards won’t ever cycle out of the Hearthstone “Standard” format.
My goal here is to give a sense of which cards are most commonly used in the largest variety of decks so you can get a sense of where you can get the most bang for your buck.
The analysis for gauging card popularity come from scraping through Sottle’s deck guides over at Icy Veins. I scraped it on Jan 16, 2017, but Sottle updates frequently so you should definitely bookmark Icy Veins for continuously updated decks and strategies.
You can see the full dataset from the scrape here.
