Got twelve wins* out of this...somehow. I don't think I've ever had a single deck before without a 3/2 2-drop, let alone a 12-win deck, and there are a LOT of bad cards in this deck. I had a lot of direct damage finishes. Most pleasing was burning out a Mage from 22 life with Rockbiter/Doomhammer, Lightning Bolt, and Lava Burst (along with a random creature hit). Taste of your own medicine!
1: Forked Lightning, 2 Lightning Bolt, 2 Rockbiter Weapon
2: Stormforged Axe, Doomsayer, Kobold Geomancer, Murloc Tidehunter, 2 River Crocolisk
3: 2 Hex, Lava Burst, Acolyte of Pain, Earthen Ring Farseer, Flesheating Ghoul, Imp Master, Scarlet Crusader, Shattered Sun Cleric, Unbound Elemental
4: Dark Iron Dwarf, Gnomish Inventor, Stormwind Knight
5: Doomhammer, Stranglethorn Tiger
6: 2 Fire Elemental, Sunwalker
7: Core Hound
*At 11-2 my opponent left the game right away, so I didn't 'earn' 12 wins, so to speak.

Went 10-3. Got a nice 370 gold. Needed more backstabs.

12-2 rogue run, again the only 12 wins I've had have been with rogue. Granted I don't play mage. I've been 10+ with shaman and paladin a few times, but no dice.

All you people that get 12 wins with priest, share your secrets O_O, I suck with priest. I've been 7 i think 2 times with priest and i've tried like 9 times.

I thought this deck would go like 0-3 and I went 10-3. I know nothing of this game. Alex saved me once. Rag saved me once. I somehow feel I would have preferred pagle over alex. Leeroy was another choice. Along with Rag were Sylvanas and Deathwing (which I don't think I would have picked).
Last game I shouldn't have swung the 6/6 in retrospect. I should have cleared the board using rifleman and corsair and then played rag the next turn. But it was defensible. I just really wanted Rag to survive so I took 6 to the face and went down to 10.
Started off 10-0 :D. Pack was shit with an extra cult master and auctioneer but I have exactly 420 gold thanks to that arena. Smoke weed err'day.

Pretty good deck so far, didn't expect it to go 7-0 so far.
First loss to an 8 win hunter. This guy had almost constructed worthy UTH combo deck. Only thing missing was timber wolves.
Holy shit. Another hunter just pulled some really fucking stupid shit. Probably the most ridiculous shit I have ever seen in arena. If I didn't topdeck the stuff I did I would've lost for sure.
Doing good, he used an UTH earlier on, so I should be fairly safe to play a bit more stuff. UTH+dire wolf alpha+deadly shot clears my board. Okay I think, he used two UTH, shouldn't have a third, so I play a few more creatures, including paladin passive. Next turn, timberwolf UTH to clear all but one minion. By this point I'm like ?????, but he's got one card in hand to my 4 so I'm not too worried. I decide that he shouldn't have another UTH, so I play another 2 minions and hero power. cult master>UTH>UTH again. Board cleared, and then some, and he has a whole hand full of cards. If I didn't have my coldlight oracle to draw into a consecrate, I would've lost the game right there. Barely managed to topdeck my way into a win with 3 hp left.
Last game vs. rogue. He has ragnaros(that I can't find cards to kill) and a vancleef, not looking good. Yep. Rag won the game for him because I couldn't find the cards to kill it, and it just shot me in the face 4 times in a row =/.
Pack and 455gold though, so that was a pretty awesome run. 11-3 overall.

After DCing when I had lethal in an arena earlier today I got REALLY annoyed.
Took a break from arena.
Made a new good Rogue deck though.
Cold Blood x 1 (it was this, or Sinister Strike or another bad card)
Voodoo Doctor x 1 (was this, a shield bearer or the boar. It was my first pick and I was like...oh ****...)
Betrayal x 1
Eviscerate x 2
Shiv x 1
Bloodsail Raider x 1
Defias Ringleader x 1
Kobold Geomancer x 1
Murloc Tidehunter x 1 (Or a wisp or a 1/1 murloc ...)
River Crocolisk x 1 (picked up for lack of 2 drops around 11th pick)
Perdition's Blade x 1
Edwin VanCleef x 1 (Or Tinkmaster Overspark or Baron Geddon...)
Injured Blademaster x 1 (final pick very low on 3 drops but I have 2 heals in the deck so it could be ok)
SI:7 Agent x 1
Ancient Brewmaster x 1
Chillwind Yeti x 1
Defender of Argus x 1
Ogre Magi x 1
Twilight Drake x 1
Assassin's Blade x 1
Assassinate x 1
Booty Bay Bodyguard x 1 (other options were awful)
Darkscale Healer x 1
Gadgetzan Auctioneer x 1
Spiteful Smith x 1
Venture Co. Mercenary x 1
Reckless Rocketeer x 1
Sprint x 1
Molten Giant x 1
It's a little 5 drop heavy, but one of those is Assassinate and one is Assassin's Blade...so it's not that bad.
Only thing I would change is to swap out a 5 drop for a Backstab or two but was never offered one.
7 spells, 21 minions and 2 weapons seems ok, especially with Gadgetzan Auctioneer, Ogre Magi and Kobold Geomancer along with the Spiteful Smith.

Went 12-2, first arena with >8 wins, don't understand.

11 - 2, the moment of TRUTH is coming, I want my second 12 wins before 120 arena wins :D (at 110ish atm), playing with pala, will share deck and result later when I get around finishing the last game (ladder anxiety!). It's not top notch and I didn't like it at start but it has been really consistent :D

I went 12-2 with this druid deck:
+ Show Spoiler +
That's only the second time I manage to go 12 wins. I have reached 10 wins 8 times since my first 12 win, so I had started to get frustrated at not getting over that hump.
Honestly I did not expect much from the deck. I predicted I'd go 6 maybe 7 if lucky, but I had clearly underestimated the board presence it would bring and the power to pounce on any weak turn from my opponents.

man so close. got 12-2 but was my 121st arena win 
+ Show Spoiler +
405gold + 2packs, such value. The packs were kinda bad though :/
|
12-0 as mage with 0 aoe, who would have thought?
+ Show Spoiler +
abusive sergeant hidden at the top
fireball and frostbolt pretty good, had a great game where ethereal arcanist became 11/5 and crushed a paladin, pulled all 3 secrets early

Going pretty nicely, 4-0 but I have to go back to work. Lunch time is over.

6-3. Shaman deck. I played horribly and mismanaged mana and then got trounced in one game where my opponent had a better deck and at least one where I misplayed, not trading with the enemy 4/4 with my gadzetan and losing trades after that to 2x follow da rules.
Forgot to mention that I had a choice between Gruul, Illidan, and Deathwing. I think I've chosen Gruul before and he's cool, but no one needs that much attack. I played Illidan and he was so awesome. I really wanted to protect Illidan, which is flawed logic. Needless to say Illidan gained value every time I played him.

I made a paladin deck that ended up having 4x Consecration, 4x Hammer of Wrath, a total of 14 4-cost cards, Tirion Fordring and Ragnaros the Firelord. I expected to have had that deck be facerolled, maybe 2-3 best, but I ended up with a 6-3 instead. Not too shabby for a casual player.

Sounds like an 10+ win deck to me

Probably a little heavy on the HoW's but getting Raggy, Tirion and 4x Valuesecrate is pretty immense. Suprised you only got 6 wins.

In the hands of an expert, it probably would have been at least 9 wins. 
Safe to say I'm not one. :D

First game druid vs shaman
druid kills my first minion with Stormforged Axe
Turn 3:play Scarlet Crusader
enemy plays Blood Knight, kills Scarlet Crusader with Stormforged Axe
auto loss
Game 3:
Enemy warrior starts with Fiery War Axe. Autoloss? Probably
Enemy is nearly dead but topdecks Ragnaros the Firelord. Autoloss confirmed.
Last game:
Hunter plays UtH + buzzard whenever he falls behind (4 times total), and Savannah Highmane
Going good so far.

As someone who usually only gets 1-7 wins out of arena and is barely able to play one arena a day (with 1 arena run, quest and some wins on ladder ~150 Gold) im really happy to get 12 wins for the first time!!
I was even so frustrated that i get only bad cards that i even felt the urge to play a match or two of starcraft again after a long long time :D
at least there i can only blame myself when i lose and not bad cards, bad card draw, disconnects... (oh those disconnects!!) :D
+ Show Spoiler +
Thats my deck + 1x Equality. It seemed pretty imba. at least against rogue. I played like almost exclusively against rogue. I lost the first match against a paladin.
2x Argent Protector and 2x Dire Wolf Alpha + Acolyte of Pain make for such a strong early game. And if the opponent doesnt keep up it escalates so quickly with 2x Blessing of Kings or a Twilight Drake.
Just so efficient. Even lategame the Argent Protector + Ancient Brewmaster so imba. And so many strong cards..
With Sunfury Protector, Guardian of Kings and 2x Consecration you dont really have to worry about dying too.
