Granted, Blizzard hasn't ever given a fuck about making Arena a meaningful format (and as it exists now, card quality trumps all other considerations in Arena anyway), so who knows.
I wish they did though. Arena is so fun. Can't believe I spent like $10 on getting more arena runs in when I was a newb when I refused to even spend a dollar on league, the game I played for 2 years. Even with all cards, plenty gold, and dust, I still find myself playing mostly arena because constructed gets stale.
I've been saying since beta that Arena would be a better format if it was pick 40 play 30 and had fixed rarity distribution.

That sounds fun. They could play tournaments with that format (no triplicates obviously).

um, excuse me, chicken is amazing
edit - upon reconsideration, I might be ok with Flame Leviathan. I still don't agree with its general idea, but it gives mage some much needed answers to hunter
how exactly are you supposed to get better at something like arena? been only averaging 4-5 wins for a few months and i think that most of my drafts are reasonable.
You play around cards in the order of Low rarity+good>low rarity+decent>medium rarity+good>medium rarity+ decent >high rarity good. Then value game.
I find constructed more fun because its not as RNG with how good your deck is. Draft 40/50 play 30 would be sooooooo much better especially for the shitty classes.
So I picked up that 40+ Sega games that was on sale on Amazon, and I have no idea how I was decent at dr robotnik's mean bean machine when I was younger. I am so bad at the game now. wow
