If you have the chance to pick multiple copies of the best cards (including a legendary...) you're pretty much guaranteed 7+ wins regardless of the class. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + 1. Angry Chicken, Stampeding Kodo, EXSPLOSIVE SHOT - I like kodo but I think the Shot is clearly better here. 2. NOVICE ENGINEER, Archmage, Nightblade - Archmage doesn't seem good for 6, Novice cantrips. 3. Tundra Rhino, Mogu'shan Warden, SILVERMOON GUARDIAN - I like divine shield and hopefully can get some good trades with it. 4. SAVANNAH HIGHMANE, Questing Adventurer, Flare - Questing seems like he can get out of control quickly. I pick Highmane here but not sure why. 5. MULTI-SHOT, Frost Elemental, Mogu'shan Warden - I just picked a guy at 6 mana so decide to take the removal. 6. TAZDINGO, Raid Leader, Ancient Brewmaster - Brewmaster is cool I guess? Tazdingo seems right here 7. Arcane Shot, SCAVENGING HYENA, Kill Command - Not sure if this is the right decision. Hyena seems good and 2 drops are good though. 8. Deadly Shot, FLESHEATING GHOUL, Argent Squire - 3 drop spot required 9. Arcane Shot, Frostwolf Warlord, STRANGLETHORN TIGER - Tiger bc he is beast type. Maybe Warlord is better in Arena? I don't know 10. INJURED BLADEMASTER, Alarm-o-bot, Young Priestess 11. Southsea Deckhand, Goldshire Footman, FAERIE DRAGON - Gimme 12. Faerie Dragon, ACIDIC SWAMP OOZE, Earthen Ring Farseer - On the off chance I get to destroy some weps. 13. Elven Archer, Priestess of Elune, DEADLY SHOT - If 4 hp saves me I probably could have saved that with deadly shot and got board control 14. Bestial Wrath, MOUNTAIN GIANT, Snake Trap -This is one I have no idea... what if I am getting Giant with very few cards in hand? I have no draw so far. I pick him but reluctantly 15. ANIMAL COMPANION, Arcane Shot, Mogu'shan Warden - Go away warden 16. Worgen Infiltrator, Leper Gnome, CULT MASTER - Gnome is nice 4 dmg which seems good on hunter who wants to be aggressive. Cult probably better tho 17. Young Dragonhawk, SHATTERED SUN CLERIC, Leper Gnome 18. FROST ELEMENTAL, Scarlet Crusader, Fen Creeper 19. Chillwind Yeti, Goldshire Footman, HOUNDMASTER - I only have 4 beasts so far counting Animal Companion. I think i'll get more though. Basically flipped a coin on this pick. 20. GLADIATORS LONGBOW, Bestial Wrath, Snake Trap 21. Magma Rager, Elven Archer, RAGING WORGEN 22. TUNDRA RHINO, Tracking, Frost Elemental - Gut feeling here. Maybe tracking is better in Arena than I think it is?? 23. SNIPE, Tundra Rhino, Thrallmar Farseer 24. Earthen Ring Farseer, Tracking, RAGING WORGEN 25. Young Dragonhawk, Taunt Grizzly, SCARLET CRUSADER - Picking up lots of 3 drops, hm 26. Harvest Golem, Bluegill Warrior, EXPLOSIVE TRAP -torn between the trap and golem here 27. LOOT HOARDER, Oasis Snapjaw, Ironforge Rifleman 28. Hunter's Mark, Explosive Trap, STRANGLETHORN TIGER 29. Southsea Deckhand, FAERIE DRAGON, Abusive Sergeant - I pick dragon b/c sergeant has to wait around in your hand to get some good trades 30. SAVANNAH HIGHMANE, Sunwalker, Ancient Watcher - No legs, unfortunately. Perhaps I should have gone sunwalker for extra taunt. I like the free 2/2s from the lion though. My curve looks solid, with equal number of 2 and 3 mana cards, evenly sloping downward from there. I'll post the result here after. Losses:: Game 2: play my best vs a priest who plays 2 Holy Novas followed by MC followed by Ysera lategame. Perhaps I was too hasty with some removal. Game 3: get rushed down by a Hunter who kills something of mine every turn, draw no removal, none of my 2-3 drops seem to live long enough to do anything. Game 6: Loss to mage. Nothing to say about it because I had no winning plays. Overall: 3-3. Still haven't broken 3 wins. | ||

Fen Creeper is a pretty solid pick, and Scarlet Crusader is a good 3 pick as well, so I'm not sold on this pick. The only taunt you had at this point was Tazdingo (and 33% chance from Animal Companion) 21. Magma Rager, Elven Archer, RAGING WORGEN I'm not really a fan of raging worgen outside of warrior/mage decks, elven archer is deceptively useful at many points in the game. 24. Earthen Ring Farseer, Tracking, RAGING WORGEN --> Earthen Ring for the same reason as above + it's a solid card 30. SAVANNAH HIGHMANE, Sunwalker, Ancient Watcher Since you're kind of lacking in hunter synergy cards (Only houndmaster and hyena), Sunwalker is most likely the better pick here. | ||

Nothing to say about it because I had no winning plays. Overall: 3-3. Still haven't broken 3 wins. My opinions, either go full beastard or not, trump calls it the beast trap so for 3) I think silvermoon guardian is probably the safer choice but if you wanted to make a beast deck shoulda picked rhino imo. 7) kill command is awesome and you didnt take rhino so I don't think hyena is that good here 8) id take deadly shot 3 mana for a removal there's so many times when they cast some big mob like venture co by itself and just hope you dont have a deadly shot. I'd probably even take argent squire over ghoul but its preference. 9) it's either tiger or arcane shot, not the warlord imo. Tiger's fine. 14) definitely snake trap 18) hunter has savanah high mane I try and keep in mind what good class cards I have for what mana. so since frost elemental is 6 I'd probably go with scarlet crusader in case I get more. I also like to have a lot of 2s and 3s so I can control the early game and snowball. Hunters don't play that well into the late game either. 19) I think I'd take yeti if you want to be safer, It woulda been great if you took snake trap you can hound master snakes so yeah. 28) id take explosive trap. its just too good for a 2 drop thats basically like consecrate. Latest arena draft more like what I usually get but still not bad, 1 epic and 3 hammer of wrath so no true silvers,kings or consecrates didn't hurt that bad.+ Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/ySJ7uMT.jpg) Fricken kidding me this druid had 2 cards in hand I play sea giant, he faceless manipulators it then big game hunters my sea giant. Plays more epics in one turn than i have in my whole deck. | ||

Since I've started keeping score out of 14 times as paladin I've gotten to 8 wins (retire there for gold)11 times with my other three runs being 7/7/6. None of my other classes come close. In my 26 other arena runs I've only gotten 7 or more wins 5 times. | ||

In my 26 other arena runs I've only gotten 7 or more wins 5 times. I consider tier 1 mage pally priest. shaman is pretty strong too if you get a lot of fire elementals. Rogue can be ok I try to avoid druid warlock hunter when possible but just my opinion. | ||

http://imgur.com/a/Fp3mc ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/LMBmNVKh.jpg) One of the games was quite comical. Faced a paladin who got to use a Divine Favor and pull out 6 cards, as well as a few other draw spells/cards. He ended up running out of cards when I was at 3HP and he had 30HP. I then proceeded to draw cards like flamestrike and blizzard and polymorph. He finally died from taking Fatigue damage. I felt bad because he was so close to winning... but fizzled out. Fun run. | ||

A couple hours ago I drafted a spectacular Warrior deck with lots of weapons (including Gorehowl), which never happened before, plus Grommash. Definetely one of the best decks in over 50 arena runs, easily worth 9 wins. Well... not quite: I ended up with a measly 3-3. Four games in a row against other warriors who apparently got even more weapons than me. I saw maybe 1 bad card in 4 decks. Even when I won it was super close, a guy topdecked 2 molten giants in a row and I won just because I had a BGH in hand. Sad day. | ||

Kept the field clear and eventually took em out? true silver champ is like stupid efficient, when you have 3 its almost like having 6 removals and since you heal 2 you dont end up killing yourself like warrior. Yeah people would just run out of steam and true silver or consecrate or hammer of wrath turn 4 makes up for any early game board control but I didn't even really have that much trouble with it because I had 2 one drops and I can always do silver hand recruit into argent protector which is sorta like having an argent squire. I think I had lights justice in that deck too and it got cut off so I could just pummel stuff early game or get some free damage before true silver champ comes. On another note early game if you have blessing of wisdom but no 1-2 drops you can just cast it on their mob and its not really worth attacking. Im starting to really like BoW. | ||

Died horribly vs a warrior who drafted 2 early fiery war axes, and a shaman with several forked lightnings+me getting terrible opening draw, but twas fun. Lots and lots of fun. Ended the run 6-3. Not bad. Final game I got the paladin to 2hp, but out of 4 draws didn't draw one of 3 outs in 12 =(. Oh well, was a fun run anyways. TBH I was rather surprised at how well the deck did considering I had minimal ways of dealing with single really buffed up minions, or taunt walls. EDIT: Got a pyro and second blizzard from the card pack. Not bad, rounding out my constructed mage deck =) | ||
