There's nothing more fun then coining into 2 flame imps on turn one, then playing a blood imp and another flame imp on turn two. | ||

doesn't matter if he's half life if his opponent is at 0 =) Started a new arena run, not going well. Enemy plays squire, I play bomber and shoot myself 3 times in the face. Great start. Another game. What are the chances that 6 bomber shots are fired against 3 or more targets, and 5/6 hit my face. Total: 12 bomber shots fired, 8 hit my face, most of them with 3 or more targets on board. RNG god doesn't like me =( EDIT: Lost my first game against a mage. Just seemed to have all the answers. 4 fireballs(3 spent on board), poly, 2 blizzards, a flamestrike and bomber RNG to my face. Could've won if I had drawn 1 of my 3 consecrates, but there were 2 minions at 2 or less health that I just couldn't get rid of with no chargers or direct damage through the barrage of spells. I should stop playing bomber. Yay 7 wins, money back! decklist + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/KTbBwAl.png) +twilight drake, azure drakex2, frostwolf warlord, silverhand knight, LoH. Fairly consistent draws aside from bomber luck, which seems to favor hitting my face =(. DENIED at 11-3 QQ. 2 losses to mages, 1 to a paladin mirror. 200g, golden noble sac, counterspell and a pack -_- | ||

Like 50% of the cards you used are under average, usually bad and below. I guess you play a different style but I think you should draft a bit different. I also saw too many low mana cost cards in your deck. I am not really experienced at the game, but that was what stood out for me. Here are the spreadsheets if you want to look into them: Antigrav1ty kripp | ||

Isn't there no benefits to retiring apart from the fact that you dont have to play anymore? | ||

Nice. Definitely never got two legendaries in one pack, and to get them from an 0-1 retire is lol. Well done sir, well done. | ||

I would say I´m decent at Hearthstone but usually I get around 3-4 wins in arena and this time I got 3-3.. http://i.imgur.com/RvVa5of.jpg http://i.imgur.com/LjH4kEX.jpg Hard to say without seeing what other choices were available. A lot of stuff is better than archer, and I would've passed on a second infiltrator. I count 15 minions in your deck right now that die to hellfire(11 with bloodimp). That combined with the fact that with so many early game cards you shouldn't need AoE to regain board control means almost anything would've been better than hellfire here. I don't know when you picked up the twilight, but it's a poor choice in such a fast deck because you'll probably be throwing out at least a card a turn with the curve you have. I don't know how you played or what other options were available in the draft so I'll leave you with that. | ||

Unless you misplay it I would think that it should get somewhere around 5-6 wins maybe? You are short on removal (only 3) and sadly cards like novice engineer and loot hoarder are not the strongest then since you might have trouble getting back on a board where he is getting control early. Personally (I am not the greatest HS player myself so don't take my word on it, atm I go infinite in arena though) I draft them lower in warlock decks since it is easy getting a good curve with strong creatures early and then you don't really need to weaken your boardposition by playing a 1/2 that only gives you a card. Better have stronger bodies and use the hero power. when you start to run out of cards on hand. Overall I think you are definitely right that the deck should go better than 3-3 but on the other hand, sometimes you go 1-2 and gets smashed in the fourth game by a paldin with a good curve, consecration, Tirion and Ysera. | ||

Jaraxxus is a cool card but it's really slow and generally won't save you if you're already losing. Other than that, there are various other factors that could possibly have influenced your run. Maybe you were unlucky, maybe you didn't make the right decisions in the games, etc. I average around 7 wins in arena, and my experience has been that sometimes, even when I thought I had a great deck, I go 2-3 because I didn't draw the right cards at the right times, or because I mulligan a bunch of 5 drops and get back 2 6 drops and a 7 drop (even with a good mana curve). | ||

Maybe hellfire being a dead card for a high % of the time makes it a bad pick, but I felt that having a AoE removal would make up for it if I did get a bad start.. Yeah novice engineer and loot hoarder should probably be swapped also, but am I correct in thinking that warlock should have a lower mana curve due to hero power? | ||
