After a run of 2x 11-3 runs I was feeling VERY good about my last deck. Then I get a free loss due to my internet disconnecting and I end up facing 2 very high tempo decks that destroy me.
11-3 Mage (I personally felt it wasn't anything great but I got it done every game except the last)
11-3 Hunter (Well I actually wasn't feeling too hot about this one either but I main a cycle Hunter deck and it's sorta in my wheelhouse)
3-3 Paladin - The Arena giveth and The Arena taketh away - I imagine my run going so different if I didn't get an auto-loss and it reminds me EVERY loss counts so hard. All I needed to do to win every game was control up until a certain point and I was home clear. It was looking that way until the auto-loss.

Another 12-2 with a decent Druid deck. 240 gold, 2 golden rares. Up to 1670 gold.
12-X 3 times out of the last 5 runs. ^^
Final game, I had 4 minions on the board and would win and the only way he comes back is either by MC teching a good one or Deathwing.
Oh look, Deathwing

He proceeds to lose.
How you ask? He attacks me to the face then daggers my minion for 4 damage (misclick?) leaving him with 7 health.
Next turn minion + claw + power. :D
Here's the deck list.

Only went 10-3, but got given double Rag in the draft, so was a happy man. In one game - Innervate Rag - Faceless Turn 6/7 for Double Rag In another - Rag, Rag, Faceless Turn 8/9/10 for Triple Rag
I felt really really dirty and, fair play to my opponents sticking in there and trying to get enough minions on the board to absorb the hits.

Easiest run of my life

Lost to a paladin with an even more insane draft, 3 truesilvers, 2 concecrates, 2 hammers of wrath, avenging wrath and really solid creatures, in the first 18 cards lol.

Wow. Just wow.
First game of arena against a rogue, I'm playing priest. I'm at 22 health, with a 6/6 and a 3/5 on board, he has a 4/4 and a 1 charge perdition blade equipped on turn 9. He has leeroy coldblood shadowstep all in his hand. I promptly die from 22 health. I'm just at a loss for words right now.
You can't even play around that in arena. Absolutely no way am I going to heal myself when board is still under contention and I'm at 22 health against an arena rogue. You just don't expect him to have 16 damage from the hand in one turn.
Playing mage, I got a good feeling about this one. Much better than the priest deck I had before.
![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/2xiSG38.png) No flamestrike, but enough early game through 3x missiles, 3x wyrm and 4x frostbolt, and if I can do like 10-15 to face early, don't need flamestrike to kill. Nightblades were taken near the last 10 cards when I already had 2 fireballs and a pyro picked up along with much of my early game, just for the additional damage to face.
2 games so far. Who needs flamestrike when you can do 30 to face =)
7th win. Pretty typical game. 0 losses so far. "what should I play, pyro, or pyro"

Managed to coin Power of the Wild +1/+1 on turn 1 against an aggro lock. Thankfully it was the first game of the draft and i eventually came back and won.

Five Swipes, my friends. You can't have too many. Currently 10-2, I'll see how far I can get. So far, I won two games by activating an early worgen (they never learn to kill that thing, apparently).
Lost to a REALLY good rogue deck (so much removal it wasn't even funny... when I lost tempo, it was the end) and to a Priest who stalled me just long enough to drop Ysera.
|
So i just drafted a decent mage deck, I predicted 5-7 wins for it, which is pretty standard for me. I hit two really solid decks right off the bat and lose both games, though they were both close. Then i play my third match, and this pally has 6 consecrates, like holy fuck, I barely pulled out the win, and it felt good, but it was absurdly close
|
I finally got to spell bender something useful today. Its a pretty good card when it gets blessing of kings'ed. The arena run was crap but that was the highlight.

Just had my first 12-0 run! Mage of course. I didn't think this deck would perform this well. I was happy about the great early game I had, but I was a bit worried about the lack of end game. It looks like great early game and good mid game was enough to demolish everyone. I feel like the great quality 3 drops to follow up the good 2 drops/Mana Wyrm and the two Blizzards are what made this deck perform this well. I could put enough pressure early on and with the Blizzards I would either clear the small/mid minions or incapacitate the opponent's big minions allowing me to finish him off before it gets too late.

Last night I got the 300 gold from the 1000 wins in any mode achievement so I decided to try out Arena again and I got 6 wins with a Druid deck! It's my first time getting 3+ wins. Got 80 gold, a Mana Tide Totem and a pack.
