I was scared because I only had 1 decent turn 2 minion (loot hoarder which isn't even the best). But it sort of fit my deck better because I would usually heroic strike early to control the board while at the same time lowering my life for my molten giant which was definitely the mvp card. Dropping a molten into shield block (sometimes double) can win games just by itself.
I think every single card was actually useful in at least one game.

Ran into a lot of aggro which this deck is really well suited against. Acolytes of pain in particular just give you so much card advantage add in a taskmaster or battle rage and it's so much card draw.

Also questing adventurers draw so much hate even if they are only at 3/3 or 4/4 which is great because that meant one less removal card for my giants

Winning games usually went some combination of giant + weapon + heroic strike + argent for surprise 20ish damage

New arena draft.
This time I went mage (I'm not ashamed lol).

The draft:

[image loading]

2 Frostbolts and 2 polymorphs, 1 water elemental and 2 arcane intellect as class cards with no fireballs and no blizzard/flamestrike.
1 Legendary Ysera as well.

My analysis is that I'll have it very tough against aggro decks and vs control decks I should be fine.
I got 5 premium 2 drops and 6 premium 3 drops so I have more than plenty to play on the first 3 turns with/without coin so early game shouldn't be that difficult.
My mid game and late game seem solid as well seeing I have plenty to play on every turn so I'm mana efficient with my cards and can keep my tempo up.
Only downside is that I don't have any burn and/or sweepers to go against any aggressive opening whereas I'll have an easier time against control decks it seems.

My predictions is probably 6-7 wins and hoping not to play against aggro decks too much. Seeing as last time I was playing against control decks most of the time with a very aggressive deck I think I can go 7 wins with this deck. It's not an insane draft but rather a fine deck for 7 wins I think.

Thoughts anyone? Maybe I should save my arena drafts as well?

Little update, I'm currently 7-2 with this deck.
Exactly like my predictions.
Mage too stronk lol.

Just a warning, the exploit to stall forever and make the other player skip his turn is back. Avoid arena until Blizzard decides to fix it...

My first 12-0 flawless arena, so I'm pretty happy.

Nothing gimmicky about the deck, except 3x Fire Elemental. The rest was just good luck in drafting - 2x Hex, no epics or legendaries at all, but 1x of many staple constructed cards, like Flametongue Totem, Lightning Bolt, Chillwind Yeti, Ironbeak Owl, Loot Hoarder, War Golem and a MVP Knife Juggler.

Today, 10-3 on Mage with good gold, but crap rewards (yeah, 'cause I need to have four forked lightnings), 5-3 on Shaman and I get Nat Pagle in my pack. NICE.

Last night I went for my third arena run. I recorded the whole thing so I could see where I screwed up, which has helped a lot.
Went 7-3. Sadly, I went full foreigner in the last game and blew what could easily have been another win.

Edit: Went for 2 today, one awful rogue and another 7-3 druid

Drafted an absurd shaman deck.

Higlights:

Spells:
3 lightning bolt
2 forked lightning
2 lightning storm
1 hex

Minions:
1 gadgetzan auctioneer + 1 ogre magi/1 azure drake (plays very well with all the lightning)
2 faerie dragons (strong starters when backed up with strong lightning clearing)
2 fire elementals
1 earth elemental
1 al'akir the windlord

might just be variance, but it seems that Warrior is the class for me in Arena

done 2 Warrior arenas and gone 7 and 9 wins so far. my average overall Arena win rate is probably around 4-5.

got a new Warrior draft that has 3 Fiery War Axes, 2 Grim Howls, at least 1 Arathi Weaponsmith, and I think 1 Arcanite Reaper

haven't played a match yet with it, so I really hope I didn't over do it with weapons

Rogue draft with a lot of spells is very fun though.

good chance of getting FWA in your opening hand with 3 of them. That'll help you win a lot of games.

went 12/1 with this, almost a dream 12/0 if it wasn't for a shaman windfury kill on me which I couldn't avoid. Overall a very strong deck with only really lacking exceptional 4 drops. Basicly late game 4 ogres too stronk.

edit:

current run, looks pretty strong as well, lacking 3s and 4s but strong 5s and 6s. No AOE or hex is kind of a bummer.

Should just state that I'm not the best arena player, in my last 25 games my average is 4.5 wins, so I was pretty chuffed when I managed to go 11 wins with a Hunter deck

[image loading]

Unfortunately didn't quite have enough to make the 12 win mark (would've been my second 12-win-run). I really lucked out on the draws, Multi-Shot, Explosive Shot (x2) and Deadly Shot pretty much gives you all the board control you need to just spam the hero power, go for the face and finish him off with Kill Command or Gladiator's Longbow.
