The first game lead to this entertaining situation. My heart was thumping as I dropped the Lightspawn, holding 2x Divine Spirit in my hand for the next turn. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/hgewVtfl.jpg) | ||

You have only a single 2-drop, which means you're going to be reliant on Stormforged Axe and Lightning Bolt for your early game, and it's going to leave you significantly behind in tempo due to Overload. You only have 3 4-drops, and all of them rely on minions being in play. Same problem with the Flametongue Totems and Bloodlust, you don't have any early minions to turn them on. To be honest, your lategame isn't that exciting either since Hex and Fire Elemental are both tempo cards, and they don't function very well when you're behind. You can get easily out-valued by a Mage or Paladin, for example, since your only form of card draw is through the Cult Masters. Edit: Didn't see Earth Elemental on my first pass through, that card is ridiculous. But yeah, I still think you needed to focus more on your 2-drops and less on stuff like Bloodlust / Flametongue Totem / Defender of Argus. | ||

I went through the pick and the only pick I would definitely say I would make differently is I would have taken the 3/3 taunt bear instead of oasis snap jaw to smooth out the curve a little bit. You also seem to be missing all the sweet sweet druid cards but I think you mostly made the best of it. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NuA0GMT.png) Want to know what I managed? 5 wins, sorry guys  In my defense I've recorded my last 45 arena games and Warrior is statistically my worst class. | ||

I'd assume your lower wins is due to some of your other questionable picks. Novice Engineer, Murloc Tidehunter for example. Can't see the top portion of your deck (the rest of your 2, 1 and 0 drops) however. Really weak early game means you don't get to reach those legendary cards | ||

Really weak early game means you don't get to reach those legendary cards The cards out of sight were Inner Rage, Abusive Sergeant, Fiery War Axe (x2) and Amani Berserker. Yeah, weak game was really flimsy, only six 1-2 drops (and they're all pretty terrible). Honestly can't remember how the games when as it was over a week ago but I do remember 2 losses came where I didn't pull any of my legendary's. Needles to say it's going to be a looooong time before I regain the confidence to try Warrior in arena again. | ||

http://i.imgur.com/PUtonqW.jpg Missing cards: Mirror Image, Leper Gnome 2x, Frostbolt, Acidic Swamp Ooze, Amani Berserker My two losses were against a mage (it was the same guy both times), second game I was dominating until he played Deathwing and then got a taunt next turn, else he would've died. Last game was against a warrior who played Baron Geddon and a Ragnaros next turn, but I toughed it out. Some random comments: Having no hard removal such as Polymorph/Fireball was annoying, but I had some charges to take care of it. Argent Commander was a huge help throughout the run. Having Pyroblast allowed allowed me to go for the face in quite a few games and won me some clutch matches. The two Stranglethorn Tigers helped a lot and I think I really underestimated them. They can do a lot of things and are quite amazing. Frost Elemental is another minion that might be a little underappreciated. The Black Knight is amazing and I would probably pick him over any other legendary. I also won 2 games by playing Leper Gnome and pinging it, which was pretty funny. All in all it was a very fun run, especially because of all the close games I had. And here's my new mage draft: http://i.imgur.com/2THrRiF.jpg Damn. edit: Went 7-3 (disc in last game, so technically 7-2 I guess). I had some trouble to deal with early aggression by lots of small minions, but I also played kinda shitty I feel. I think I could've progressed further depending on the decks I would face, but oh well. | ||

Well, as long as they are stealthed it is almost impossible to get rid of them so you decide when to attack. You can pick favorable trades or go for face (and if you time it right chances are you will get multiple attacks unless it gets killed or opponent plays a taunt next turn). 5/5 is a nice body as well, which means he isn't dying vs Yetis and such. | ||
