Advice on deck progression for new account

I know there's a ton of these threads, so I apologize.

I've played for about a week, redeemed all the codes, and completed the campaign. I'm a level 7 account.

Now, as for the question, I've blown all my seals on 2 "The Box"es and have been buying reinforcement packs every time I get 12500 gold.

Now that I've bought 2 Boxes and ~5-6 reinforcement packs, should I continue buying reinforcement packs, save for the future, or something else?

Here's my deck

What do you want to do with this deck? I assume rushing, since inferno is really good at rushing. I would remove hell hound, too low dmg and sweep isnt worth it, especially early on. I am not a big fan of hellfire maniac either, too expensive, too low dmg, i'll take lilim any day of the week. Chaos sorceress again is too expensive, the area blast isnt that useful since it can hurt your own units(and will if you have board control with many units).

Inner shield is ok but not great. Hall of torment and crystal of power are ok. I think you just need to make your deck "cheaper". I run a 4strength/4spell/2fortune deck. This way i hit my "max" fast and i can draw more cards earlier(which i need since i have low cost per card deck). You could do the same if you remove firestorm, crystal power and campfire. Crystal power only make sense if you have many spells. Would you rather have for example crystal power that costs 3 and requires 3 fortune or a second fireball that costs almost the same but gives more flexibility?

Anyway, here is my deck

This is not the ideal deck, this is the best deck i can do with the cards that i have. Ideally i would like to get more pao deathseekers, more dark assassins, more inner fire, more week of mercenaries and maybe a hellfire imp and a doom bringer. Cerberus, pit fiend and sea elf archer are in there because they are ok but not great. I think 1-2 lurker in the dark are ok too, great against rush decks. Ravager is pretty decent if you can get him early and safely or buff him with month of emerald song later on.

Twist of fate can be pretty useful, especially around round 5+ or so, to remove a big monster or big board clearing spell and also check their hand. The teleports enable me to keep board control/tempo by killing or avoiding enemy creatures.

I am lvl 10, 984 ELO with 75% win ratio and i have only bought 1 Box and a few reinforcement packs. I saved my gold/seals for the expansion(105k gold/1700 seals so far).

My suggestion is that if you haven't already gotten a hero with some kind of decent ability, buy some heroic packs. Having a decent hero makes a real difference and can help you decide how you want to build a deck.

I wouldn't buy hero packs this soon though, maybe once he has card pool for several deck types.

As I've said on all the threads like these lately, prices will drop and a new expansion is coming out, plus the ability to buy specific cards... so if you can hold onto your seals and wait.......

Hell right now you should wait for the new expansion, the whole expansion is so fucking OP there's just no point to buy anything else.
