Go 0-3, realize arena is for babies, and play constructed.

What was your deck good at?

In one of my runs I hit a ysera as pally. I aldor'd then had to put my whole board in to kill it. Barely won that game as the warlock couldn't clear my board and had no taunt to stop lethal at that point.

You either 2,3 for 1 yourself or have a decent answer like assassinate, poly, execute for their high quality card. If you don't have an answer and you don't have the board you will probably lose and probably would have regardless.

Arena is fun > I tried making a mini's deck for constructed but it's such a neutered version without half the cards lol.

I have successful arena runs, I know how to play the arena. I just find the "meta' for arena to be incredibly stale and not good. There aren't enough cards in the pool, and without a real draft pack (15 cards, pass to the left) it just isn't the same.

I would much rather just log in to MODO and do Cube Drafts or Theros drafts than arena, constructed wise I would much rather play HS than deal with the bullshit ticket system.

I haven't got the 12 win achievement yet so there's still that allure. I think I get a lot of enjoyment from getting more value for my gold and playing cards I don't have.

I had pretty good earlygame, but I had horrible draws that game. I had 7 dmg on the board + the 3 dmg pally spell, after which he ofcourse pulled ysera awakens and clears the whole board, throws out rag and I'm just crying.

Why are there people who get Ysera + Sylvanas + Rag in Arena's?


I just finished a run with The Beast, Vellen, and Pagle. 9-3

Helping Wasabi and Wave in arena last night is so punishing today. So sleepy I'm falling over my work. D: Probably the worst rogue deck I've ever seen.

Sorry >.<
If it makes you feel better I don't know if I want to do another draft tonight after we finish off the Rogue shitter deck---I gotta be up mega early tomorrow and I'm already pretty exhausted today.

Oh hey I just realized wtf!

My win rates when I get a legendary in a arena is lower than when I don't get any epics or better. It does sound hard to lose with those three legendaries though.

I went through some stats with a friend, who keeps track of his arena decks for every run, and we noticed that, at least for him, while number of epics/legendaries don't matter that much, there's a strong correlation between performance and # of rares. Drafts with 9+ rares (yes, those happen) pretty much never did worse than 10-3, while 3-4 rare drafts usually ended like 3-3 or 4-3. Which makes sense given that while legendaries close out games, having multiples of things like Azure Drake, Imp Master, or Defender of Argus would do way more to actually win games.

I still have no idea why rarity in Arena isn't normalized to something like 23 commons + 6 rares + 1 epic/legendary. Having variable rates of rares doesn't seem to improve the format in any way.

Wave drafted this rogue deck that is shittier than a gas station's bathroom.
I think he has 1 backstab, no eviserates, no combo cards, offered shieldbearer like 4 times, a deck with like....5 5+ drops (one of which is faceless manip which half the time he has to copy a 4-6 drop with it because he's always in a bad position with his bad cards)....and i don't think he's seen his ogre once in the 5? games he's played so far.
Like his draft would be okay if he got some combo cards. It would be a pretty good aggro deck....but then instead he was offered shieldbearer 4 times and got stuck with shit like shiv because of it lol

As a note: an apple in the morning is shown to have better effects than coffee and is better for you.

I said it last night, but it is legitimately the worst deck I have ever drafted, and it's not even because I drafted badly----I just got offered absolutely nothing. The only combo card I was offered was Cold Blood. No Defias, no Eviscerate, no SI: 7, I didn't even get any good quality neutrals above 3-4 mana. I aint even mad, shit's kinda hilarious. It's been fun to draft with friends recently.

Playing the Bravely Default demo because it'll carry over some of the data for when the game comes out. I'm going to enjoy the crap out of this game.
