Deck Delights
Which begs the final question of what cards you ought to be enchanting. There are several ways to answer this question, and how you go about it is up to you.
Perhaps the best way is to go with what you enjoy. By the time you've got enough dust to start creating cards, you should have enough of a feel for the game to know how you like to play.
So, pick your favourite class and your favourite archetype and scour the net for budget versions. When you find one, build the closest approximation you can, and start creating cards to fill in the blanks.
The next approach is to decide on a powerful budget deck, and start collecting the cards you need to make it. Some classes, notably Warlock and Hunter, are well know for being able to form decent aggressive decks on a very thin budget.
They won't ladder well compared to their better-tuned competitive counterparts, but they pack a punch well above their cost. Playing one of these should up your gold earning, getting you into a big leagues a bit quicker.
There are few, if any, top-tier decks you can make without Legendary cards. But if you buy the Welcome bundle you should get at least two. One with the bundle and one courtesy of a guarantee from the game that your first ten packs in any set will contain at least one.
A lot of Legendary cards aren't actually all that good. You can render these down for dust. But if you've been lucky enough to get a decent one, the final option is to build a deck around it.
Go take a look at the most popular decks in play: we keep an up to date list right here. See if any of them contain your lucky legendary. And if they do, build it as best you can, and see how far up the ladder it can take you.
