5-3. Ysera only drew dream. 3 times. 20% chance^3. That's a .8% chance in total. Rito pls! I would have loved ysera awakens. The other cards wouldn't be too useful either so it's fine.
I also had the option of Tirion but he wouldn't have done any better. I'm actually considering that perhaps I should have picked captain greenskin. But +1/+1 just doesn't sound that cool.
I think my biggest problem was picking some 1 drops. Worgen, squire, blessing of wisdom (great in constructed and has worked for 1/2 card draw in past arenas) and sometimes even blessing of might felt like dead weight.
This was the first time in a few arenas I got a legendary so I'm kind of disappointed. But at the same time 5-3 is a great score 
Also the other Paladins I faced had lights justice QQ. That item sucks unless it's a paladin mirror.

I abandoned my daily 40 gold quest because I hadn't read about the quest bug...so I didn't get a quest.
Had to grind out 60 gold to play arena today. -.-

This deck is SOOOO early game. If I don't win by turn 8 or 9 I lose. My MVPs up to now are my turn 5 venture cos.

yesterday i had an insane streak:
11 wins hunter (my first hunter arena, since i thought it is bad. But it worked pretty well)
12 wins mage (12 : 0 , but the deck was ridiculous. 4 frostbolt, 5 fireballs, 1 blizzard, 1 flamestrike, 2 cone of colds xD)
11 wins shaman (decent run, without lightning storm and fire eles. Won most games with Earthelemental windfury)
10 wins rogue (imo this deck was bad, no poison, assassinate, si7, eviscerate. But 4 defias and 3 assassin's blade)
9 wins shaman
7 wins shaman
after the 7 wins i stopped, because i played worse every game. Overall i made ~ 1100 gold.

Went 6-3. Not bad.
Over 10 arenas:, 1185 gold + 130 dust + 1 normal + 1 rare + 10 packs
For 1500 'gold' investment and 130 dust + 1 normal + 1 rare is like another pack I essentially got 11 packs for 325 gold.
Essentially, if this keeps up, my packs are costing me 29.5 gold instead of the 100g to just buy them.
I've been almost able to sustain infinite arena which is nice too. Not quite, still have to do 5 or 6 'wining games' every so often to make up for when I go 5-3.
Also, turn 2 venture co is hilarious with innervate and the coin.

Had an 11 win warlock run. Obviously a good deck, 6 epics.
One of the games was really funny. Kept a worgen, got 2 power overwelming. Rogue opponent goes hero power turn 2 and I coin the worgen. He then drops a mad bomber, which hits him twice and the worgen once. I couldn't resist, dropped the power overwelmings on the worgen and hit him for 24. He conceded.

drafted this deck yesterday, but 6-3 was the end. couldn't get a grip on the early game, maybe because my minions were bad. had also some unlucky games, pagle didn't draw in 3 turns. lost against two hunters and a mage. overall it was pretty disappointing.

Rag was my first pick, had tinkmaster - thalnos - rag, so i thought, i'll take the chance for a rag there and pick some good early game minions. little did i know that i would get these picks

Had Ysera today in a priest draft, was just messing around and decided to draft 4x mind blast. Even more crazy than that is that it worked as I managed to survive until Ysera, drew right into Ysera awakenes and hit the mages face for 25dmg the next turn...poor mage. I loled. And emoted "sorry", I was actually really sorry. Would hate if that had happened to me, he had control all game long.

Turn 2 Mana Wyrm + Arcane Missiles to kill his 2 drop
Turn 3 Mirror Image + Mirror Image
Turn 4 He left.
I don't even..

Got my first 12 wins today with a shaman deck. Had 3 fire elementals, 3 hex, 2 bolts and 2 forks. Reward was 405 gold and 2 boosters.

9-3. I failed hard on my third loss. Both of us top decking. Kept thinking to myself how am I going to clear this 3hp giant behind a sunwalker, Other guy at 5hp, drew starfire, and starfired the giant T.T
Was a pretty cool deck though, starring main tanks 2x ironbark, AoW and ysera, with healers AoL and triple earthen ring. Was pretty funny to see a mage blow enough shit to get a AoW frozen at 1hp for a next turn ping, and hold back on attacking it. Next turn it's a 5/7, and turn after it's full HP again.
Absolutely shit rewards for 9 wins though. 150g, golden flame imp, normal naturalize and a pack -_-;;;
Yeah I feel your pain, you stare at the creature so long that when you draw the kill card you just autopilot. Threw away a few wins like that haha

Just had my first 12 win arena! I was a Paladin with 3x Consecrate, 1 Equality, 2 Argent Commander, 2 faerie dragons, DoA, DID, SSC, Azure Drake and just generally high quality minions. Also I didn't have a single weapon! xD Kind of disappointed with the rewards though... only 320g, 2 packs, and a common card. ;\ Oh well, it was a fun deck!
|
It turns out that having 4 Frost Elementals is pretty good I went 11-3 and it was very enjoyable to play this deck.
But damn,after my 6th game i only saw Druids and Mages.Are these the best arena classes right now?

Rename thread "your last 11-3 or higher arena"?

Man, Ysera is such a fucking clutch card. I want one so bad now. It's won me at least 1 game and almost turned my 2 losses in to wins. I'm 5-2 in Arena atm which is a bit sad, I had 2 heartbreakingly close comebacks. My last loss was to him top decking Wraith with 10 mana. Drawing FoN with 1dmg, and hero powering me down from 7hp to 0 hp  the worst part is i had a cult master on the field and I finally drew my se'jin taunt when he wraith'd QQ.

This deck went 12/1 in the end, last card is a stormwind champion. My loss was the most infuriating thing ever, I had 7 minions on the board, my opponent had 6 health and played a Mind Control Tech and got my Earth Elemental which won him the game. Still my second 12/x I should not complain.
|
Unusual arena. I just went 9-3 with mage and after that I picked mage again. This time the draft was actually imo better than the one before with multiple poly/fireballs/frostbolts/water elementals and better synergized but only lacking a bit in late game drops (only had 2 stormwind champions).
I went 1-3 with it.
Edit:
Might have to say I faced some extremely strong drafts that should go 12-x normally.
Like a mage with a turn 2 3-3 mana wyrm and minimum of 3 frostbolts and paladin with 4 argent protectors + 3 aldors and a druid tempo player which I could not even hit face once.
I lost all of them early game before turn 5-6 (I did concede when I realized I'd have to be extremely lucky with topdecking to turn it around).
|
Just my first 12x :-)
I tought it was a solid draft without lagendarys or epics and aimed for 5-6 wins but then bam 12/2
I was very mad at one lose at 11/1 VS a Paladin with 2xPala lagendary (Uther?) and all the other good pala cards like Argent Protector and Aldor Peacekeeper....
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/MzwKa0i.jpg) the other Cards are Nightblade Stranglethorn Tiger Sunwalker 2x Flamestrike and a Ravenholdt Assassin
Edit: I can see only the half picture, do i have to scale it down in some way?

I was pretty impressed with how some of these cards paved the way, so I'll post the last two arena runs I had (first time poster, hello everyone!).
Arena #1, 12-1:
+ Show Spoiler +
This arena was my first 12 win run, and it happened 5 days ago. When I was going through the pics, I made some questionable decisions like Kobold Geomancer and Dalaran Mage, but they ended up being used in sync with the 1 consecration I had for quite a few games to clear 3+ boards. I haven't valued Blessing of Kings much prior to this run, but I picked up two of them and gained strong momentum (like buffing a harvest golem to chew through a sen'jin). I've come to respect the card a lot more for arena.
Finally, there's Ragnaros, but he was a cheerleader in the deck and not used in many of my games, other than to win more or push a stalemate. I didn't realize how much midrange focus my deck had, but it worked out well in the end.
Arena #2, 12-1:
+ Show Spoiler +
This was the next arena I did a day or two later, and similarly to the first draft, there was a high focus on the 1/2/3 drops. The reason for this is because I find a lot of my arena games tend to start off fast from the opponent, so it's important for me to have some presence early to not lose before I can get rolling. This deck had a strong balance of spells to creatures, imo. I found a lot of value with my 1 drops and questing, while 1 Earth Elemental + 4 Fire Elemental (s) helped stabilize me through the midgame.
Oh, and again a legendary, Sylvanas. The one time I lost with this deck was to a Priest who gained total control of the board and ignored her, but otherwise she carried me through quite a few games. Let none survive!

I had alot of fun tonight with the new Unleash the Hounds!
This one was immensely satisfying. He was at 30 health when my turn started (I had Eaglehorn Bow equipped):
+ Show Spoiler +
The game after I got double Hyena's and 2x Unleash the Hounds in my starting hand. Couldn't help but try and get to turn 8 for a mega combo! Unfortunately he killed me the next turn with Flametongue Totem and Bloodlust. It was worth it though:
+ Show Spoiler +
Ended the run at 8 wins.

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/8Kqtu3l.png)
So this PoS deck went 10 wins.
I have no fucking clue how that happened. (Well, yes I do...ultimately I think 3 heads are better than one or SOMETHING....played with some friends over stream)
Was offered the 0/4 taunt minion 4 times.
No combo cards offered at all during draft aside from Cold Blood ONCE.
How the fuck I managed to pull this one I'll never know.
