Crazy, it feels like a pretty standard deck to me... Must be getting really lucky lately.

Last game vs a priest, he mind controls my Gruul, but it's ok i made him waste 8 mana because i had Big Game Hunter in my hand trolololol

First time to 9 wins, got a golden mana tide totem which looks pretty cool.

I can't decide how much I value frost nova in the drafting part... It's such a hard card to say if it's actually any good.

Nothing like a quick 6-0 to end 8-3 with Shaman to make me feel less shit at this. I really thing my biggest issue is simply not knowing all of the classes well enough. Or Shaman is just good, and i need to stop drafting Hunter and Druid, and start drafting Priest more.

It is amazing how racist RNG can be though. I prioritise lightning spells pretty high and this next Shaman deck has one, total.

I really love playing in Arena but the drafting phase is heavily luck invovle, once i picked Jaina and had like 1 - 2 spells to pick the entire draft, totally unrelated creatures to pick and 0 Legendary/Epic card, how the hell do i win with those kind of deck ? obviously i went 0-3 so fast its not even funny.

Never won 9 =/ guess i'm bad, best i got so far was only 6.

Ok this Shaman run was predictably terrible without any aoe. 3-2 then the game timer locks up which i assume will be a loss for me eventually. I ain't conceding so i'll find out sooner or later. Can't tell if it's locked up for just me or both of us this time. Stupid. If i'd bought more than one ticket so far i'd be pretty pissed off. Beta is Beta but not when you're spending real money, which i'm not so it is Beta.

Seen some strange cards this time around. I had to pick 3 out of
Crab Eating Murloc
Doomsayer
Mountain Giant

I suppose Mountain Giant was the pick, but i dislike that card so intensely. It just dies, or sits in my hand forever then dies. Doomsayer seemed like a poor choice in a Shaman deck, so i went with Crab. He is mighty, and ate a lot of turn 1-2 removal. Didn't eat a Murloc though. No regrets.

Another fun pick i had to make was
Mana Addict
Arcane Golem
Coldlight Oracle

Went with Addict, but holy jeez what a terrible card it feels like, especially with so few spells. Should switch places with Mana Wyrm. I guess it could trade up fairly well if i actually had some spells to back it up but i'm reluctant to burn earth shocks and such just to get this thing to be useful. At least it holds the ground vs Paladin tokens early on.

When the stars align, and they did in my last arena run, you get mountain giant out on turn 4. Then again, the stars will have aligned in a way that smites you with their light, and you'll die next turn anyway.
Nothing is impossible, only some things for some people.

Arcane golem was clearly the better choice if you had few spells... of course you won't play it on turn 3, but at 8-10 mana its drawback is negligible.

i got this sick warrior deck earlier today... i spent like 30 minutes making my draft decisions and it turned out to be so strong in most of my games. in one of the first couple games i coined out a pint-sized summoner on turn 1 and got a warsong commander out on turn 2 and the rest of the game was easy street from there. i think those two minions stayed on the board almost the whole game too. one or two more games really hinged on getting those cards played early as well, and all three of my losses were pretty close. one of them was blatantly because of a dumb mistake i made. the deck made it to 6 wins, my highest so far since getting my key last week. final boss was a priest, QQ. still i feel like all those hours spent watching trump play have payed off
payed off security

Usually I get really really terrible drafts, but I got an amazingly stacked draft just now.

9-1. Most games were total steamrolls
First time I ever get knife juggler or sword of justice, wow they are amazing.

Ha, I got 4x Mind Control this morning and rode that to a 9-2 (my 4th arena, and first over 4 wins). Some of those games got ridiculous. Had the classic "MC minion, get it MCed back, then MC it back yet again" chain, only with extra MCs included for the next 2 big minions the guy dropped. And my favorite was someone using Faceless Manipulator on my turn 7 Sea Giant, only for me to Mind Control it to which he immediately conceded. All of these MCs accompanied by, of course, "Thanks" spam.

I'm new to the game, but an expert in TCG's. You want to hear of my latest arena experiences?

First Arena I was new to Hearthstone and went in blindly. Probably made a subpar deck, lost 1 legit. 2nd game I had him down to 4 hp, attacked with 6 minion and bam, portrait exploding but my net disconnects. 0-2. 3rd game I disconnected 2nd turn in.

Fixed net. 2nd arena run? Choose priest, didn't get a single cleric or holy nova. Also didn't get any legendaries or epics, overall crap RNG deck. Went like 2-3.

3rd arena run I was up 4-1. 2nd loss rng god paladin was down 30-10 and top decks divine for 4 card draw. Turns game around with sunwalker's and win. 3rd loss I was winning 30-20 but he just turned the game around with better cards/draws. I'm currently diamond 2, and have won numerous tcg awards but I feel like my RNG luck in this game is complete garbage, especially when it comes to card selection in arena.

Oh well, maybe I'll get better luck in the future. :/

I don't think its uncommon to not get any legendaries or epics, easily 50% of my 20ish drafts didn't get an epic or legendary. Maybe 5% have gotten a legendary and even then most legendaries suck.

Just went 9-2 with a priest deck with no SW: Pain, SW: Death or Holy Nova. Managed to somewhat make up for it with three Mind Controls, a single Holy Smite and two Holy Fires which was apparently enough to carry me to my first 9 victory arena session

I can see how 4x Imps would be fun with juggler.
