Hi! This is my first post, so I apologize for any rules I break accidentally.
I've been playing for about 6 months now and I've had a dilemma: I never know what to put in a deck. For a long time, I've been using Sheng's budget decks but without regular updates I feel like they're lacking substance and ability to compete in this very quickly changing meta. I don't have any legendary cards besides the expansion unlocked ones and The Black Knight, who I decided to hold onto if the meta slows down enough eventually where I can get constant value out of him. I have most of the core rare cards for each class and a handful of the best epics (Shield Slam, Ancient of Lore, Cabal Shadow Priest, Doomhammer, BGH, so forth) so I'm not completely stranded with beginner decks. However, this puts me in an awkward position. I don't want to use the complete beginner/extremely cheap decks that can't compete past rank 15, but I can't use the ridiculously expensive decks like control warrior or freeze mage. I would appreciate if someone could point me to a link(s) that could give me decently competitive budget decks with maybe a couple of epics, and mostly commons/rares + other basic/expansion cards (oh yeah, I have both expansions) for a newbie like me to try out! If those kinds of decks dont exist, I wouldn't mind some tips on how to build budget decks of my own. I always struggle with self-building so I netdeck, but I'm sure it would be a great experience. Sorry for the excessive use of personal pronouns!
Thanks,

Okay so I have a tournament starting tonight and I need help building a deck or two. I don't have any of the good legendaries. What I do have is foe reaper, thermaplugg, cairne bloodhoff, emperor tharussian, grommash hellscream, and deathwing. Any help would be appreciated!

So this is are my decks so far after playing for 4 moths. I have gotten only 1 legengary from packs and I'm no good doing arena to get more gold, dust or "free" packs. So I would like to see in which legendaries I should have priority with those decks. I know Dr.Boom should be the first one at least. Any other tips?
 
Here are the decks I'm using http://imgur.com/WDT04sI
 
I know Ramp Druid and Tempo Mage are missing some card that aren't legendaries and need more work.

I've just gotten into actually making strategic decks with in the past week. Before I would just throw together what ever seemed good. This is the best deck I've had success with but have only gotten too rank 16. I want to find a strategic way to edit/fix this deck or renovate it all around my savannah highmanes or gharzilla. Any advicd you have wI'll be helpful. My strategy has been to overwhelm them with bigger minions.
Here's the deck:
Explosive trap Ironbeak owl
Scavenging hyena Nerubian egg
Animal companion x2 Ironfur grizzly
Deadly shot Questing adventurer
Kill command x2 Chillwind yeti
Unleash the hounds Defender of argus x2
Houndmaster Lost Tallstrider
Tundra rhino Antique healbot x2
Savannah highmane x2 Piloted shredder
Gharzilla Senjin shieldmaster
Maexxna
Stormwind champion
Sea giant x2
Molten giant

Okay, so I've been playing for a couple of months now, and I'm enjoying the game quite a bit. But I'm afraid I'm stuck. I've finished the arachnid quarter in Naxramas, and have beaten the class challenges. I appear to have topped out, as I get absolutely crushed in Heroic mode, and have only reached level 17 in ranked play. I find myself hovering around 20-18 most of the time. I've DE'd cards that I never use and have crafted a few others. I have 80 dust to spare. I fear that the cards in my deck are insufficient to carry me any further. I am currently sitting on only 550 gold. Should I spend the gold on more cards and hope I get some that can improve my overall decks, or should I save up and attempt to go through the next quarter in Naxramas? I'm a dad of two kids so almost all of my disposable income goes to their welfare, meaning that spending actual cash on card packs is a rarity, so making the correct decisions in-game is crucial to me. I fear that no matter what decision I make I'll end up with buyers remorse.
Any kind of advice would be appreciated. I'll be more than happy to "give back" to future n00bs like myself once I start to get better.
