Also I noticed that I once again only got 2 cards twice, leading to a very inconsistent deck. And I had some high cost cards (3x 7 cost, 1x 6 cost, a couple 5 cost) that didn't really do that much besides be dead in my hand or win me even more + Show Spoiler + Blessing of Wisdom Hand of Protection Worgen Infiltrator Acidic Swamp Ooze Amani Berserker Argent Protector Faerie Dragon Mad Bomber Novice Engineer Big Game Hunter Earthen Ring Farseer Imp Master Raid Leader Scarlet Crusader Truesilver Champion Consecration x2 Hammer of Wrath Chillwind Yeti Dark Iron Dwarf Defender of Argus Violet Teacher Abomination Azure Drake Spiteful Smith Stampeding Kodo Reckless Rocketeer Guardian of Kings x2 War Golem | ||

Had 2 quests for 60 gold each for 5 wins as rogue. Rewards were 160 gold 1 common and a pack. 280g for a 7-3 arena run not bad  1610 gold right now and 28 packs unopened.My last 10 arena's I've gone 8 times 7+ wins. I hope this continues  I'm now sitting at a steady 70.49% winrate in arena. I feel I've improved so much since I started in December | ||

Morning after the 12-2(1) run. Feeling pretty great. True story: On February 22 2014 15:32 Steelavocado wrote: OMFG! Me, my roommate, and my friend at college decided to play my roommates free arena (just started) stoned as hell. Ended up going 12-2 LOOOL. 12 WINS STONED ON HIS FIRST ARENA.

Lightning bolt then axe whatever he plays on turn 4...and you're left with board control and can coin out a 5 drop with overload... I never said it lost me the game? Just sharing a crazy occurrence with astronomical odds... | ||

Started a new arena with paladin. Hoping for the dream First game against a warlock that had lots of heals so he could do a lot of hero power draws and in combination with cult master + 2 summoning portals with blood imps (could not kill his buffed up minions every turn... >< I managed to win in the end while he drew 11 more cards at the end of the game (he had 3 cards left towards my 14 lmao). Update: Lost my 3rd game cuz my internet dropped, I managed to get back into the game since my game didn't crash but it skipped 4 turns  I lost to a topdeck when I had lethal next turn and he didn't had any other card left :/ | ||

This is why my enjoyment of arena has taken a small hit lately. I feel like the success of my run is overly determined by the draft. And your almost always left with the same solid picks which you just pray to get a lot of or else you know a 3-5 win arena is incoming. Like yesterday I had a druid draft with 2 azure drake and some other solid stuff but not a single Swipe, Druid of the Claw or any of the big taunts... Its pretty disheartening to play such a deck knowing you have zero chance of going far. Thats why I am in awe at people maintaining 7+ ratios (im at 5.5 myself). I mean sure, when I get a really good draft I will take it past the 7 mark barring some really bad luck, but all those drafts that just plain lack in early, mid or late quality just happen far too often and I end up going 3-5, 6 if I get lucky with them. I think the key to success in arena is not to be able to go very far with a good deck, but bumping your average to 4-7 instead of 3-6 with the average/bad decks. Im a bit puzzled on how to do that though apart from lucking out and facing decks with similar (bad) quality as yours up to the 7 mark. There is only so much lacking quality you can compensate by better play imo. The other strategy of trying to go aggro or stuff like uth beast synergies is way too unstable to draft imo. Sure, when you luck it out and get the right cards your looking at a deck that will easily get 10+ wins, but if not you gonna get blown out miserably during the first few games. | ||

Yeah I get what you mean. Although it is possible to get 7+ wins without the key class cards if your minions are good (like I got once mage to 7 wins with no blizzard/flamestrike/fireballs/polymorphs/water elemental and 1 frostbolt) but it'll have to be with a top class like mage/druid/shaman/paladin so their hero ability can make up for the lack of key cards. But it definitely needs at least a couple of key class cards and good neutral minions to get 7+ on average which overall is quite dependant on the system being in your favour or not I must admit >< Edit: Paladin went 6-3 with a shitty deck so I'm okay with that. Then I drafted a decent druid deck and in my 3rd game I go against a mage that has 6 frostbolts and 6 flamestrikes .... His mid game sucked but he survived somehow and kept flamestriking me over and over again. I shouldn't complain about mage but 6 frostbolts and 6 skillstrikes ugh.... Oh and I had 2 swipes in my deck left of my 3 remaining cards and did not drew them which could win me the game... | ||

Crazy draw for me. Second draft with insane amounts of legendaries. Now I get to run into other insane decks and draw dead Update: 6-1 atm, lost to a crazy close hunter game where i had bad draws when i needed them most. Update#2: 6-3, both shamans, first had 3 fire elementals that i saw to control the board, next one was just brutal RNG totems to gain board control and then no flamestrike to regain control. | ||

The previous ones were 0-3 (back when I knew nothing about the game) and two 3-3. But i feel really dirty... I had a pretty good mage draft that ended up with 6 fireballs. So, basically, all I had to do was to control the game with the early drops and some of the fireballs until I could indiscriminately fireball their face. Typical mage... + Show Spoiler [Deck] + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/lqL1MY6.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/NKqdiXJ.jpg?1?1328) | ||

Literally. I met Ragnaros twice without hard removal to hand. Sword of justice Ragnaros is impossible to kill when you are each down to 2 cards, and got top decked 3 times in a row to make my 3 losses. I'm done with this game, I can't handle the RNG. After 120 arena runs I've had enough. | ||

![[image loading]](http://s29.postimg.org/mmccehciv/arena11.png) Mind Control helping to win 2 games, The Black Knight won one, Auchenai Soulpriests (+ Circle of Healing) helped to make up for lack of AoE. Also I got Demolisher a lot early on, which was a really strong card. The other big surprise turned out to be Lightwarden. Venture Co. Mercenary never really seems to be worth its money, whereas Temple Enforcer and two Frost Elemental made for a pretty decent turn 6/7/8. So did Auchenai Soulpriest + Hero power though :D | ||

My average of 70.49% winrate dropped to 68.82% and lost 700 gold in the process (900 left). Seriously bad luck as well. Opponent last game uses hero totem (shaman) and gets a taunt every freaking time (7 turns in a row) with his flametongue totem next to it... Update: Currently 7-2 with the mage which I lost the first game. 6 out of the 9 games were against mages. Seriously hard games with an average deck which makes no sense compared to my previous decks which were considered good/top compared to my current one and did not make the 7+ wins >.> At least I got 7 wins which is the only positive thing from this weekend's arena runs. Update 2: Ended mage run at 10-3. Even though it's lame it had to be mage but the 6 arena no 7+ win streak was disappointing to me after a consistent 10 arena 7+ wins. The draft: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/qEiv5Cl.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/SRxeEo7.png) Rewards were 245 gold and a pack taking my gold back to 1265  | ||

Probably should picked Cairne over Malygos but I already had so many spells so i thought it would be better. Losses were against 2 mages and against druid that copied my Malygos while killed mine and punished me with buffed spells LOL. Thought it would go better but 7-3 its not that bad. Plus i got Cairne from the pack and 150 gold. | ||
