That's the weird thing about all CCGs. You'll find random shitty ass decks that'll do well against the top tier deck, but in the end it's shitty for a reason and loses to everything else.

The arena needs to either have 0 legendaries, or 1 legendaries for everybody. So sick of getting fucked by people with multiples, when I get one out of every 20 drafts, and then it's a choice between thalnos, nat pagle, or milhouse manastorm.'
Why do i have to be addicted to this garbage game.

it's spell heavy and the sprints act like auctioneer draw and one of the popular miracle variants ran violet teacher. it has boom and rag because it needs big threats to compete in the new meta.

Man, starving buzzard is a terrible card.

I think it deserves a long retirement after defrauding literally millions of wins
It basically uses sprint instead of the auctioneer. Still looks pretty much like the board control variant of miracle that was popular pre-GvG.

But Scavenging Hyena and unleash the hounds combo still exists.
I just keep blaming blizzard for making it take forever to get good cards, but I do have fun tossing together different decks to do the dayles. Got an old Combo priest that still works, a somewhat crummy but decently reliable zoo Hunter and Warlock decks, and a mediocre Paly deck that doesn't really do anything but won 5/6 games I played it.
5th time I use Unstable Portal in arena, I get Gahzrilla.

I still don't know how a druid let my annoyatron get this crazy.
But with that, I finally had enough to get a new pack and got Ancient of War. Now if only I can make a decent control druid deck...
If you want to make a druid card, get Ancient of Lore instead.
Final time I use Unstable Portal in this arena run (12-2) I get Murloc Tidecaller BibleThump.

That combo isn't even good, it just makes a worse highmane
But not having any consequences for being completely inefficient with cards, because the further you fall behind the more cards you draw, now that was bullshit.
I just had the most bullshit match(in my favor). Whipped up a mediocre shaman deck for the 2 and 5 win quests I had. Coin whirling zapomatic turn 1, another whirling zapomatic turn 2, into an annoyotron turn 3 against a handlock. He had a molten giant after being nearly dead, and I topdecked a hex for it. He gets close to stabilizing after a shadowflame, but I get a fire ele on the clear board. He drops another molten and then antique healbots. I have a loaded hand with earthshocks and forked lightning, and roll a spell taunt totem which lets me take care of the board. He uses another shadowflame and is sitting at 2hp.
I topdeck the second fire elemental. lol. I would be so fucking pissed on the receiving end of that.

Been having a lot more luck against Handlock lately with my Paladin. Helps a lot to draw my Big Game at some point, maybe I was just unlucky earlier. Just Harrison Jones'd a Jarraxus to finish off this last one.
The one weak match-up seems to be zoo. Everything else I feel comfortable against. The addition of Implosion and the lack of Pyromancers in my deck make it pretty hard. Just not enough AoE, it's tough even when I have a strong opening.

You can't hate on paladins finding their best three drop!
Follow da rules was already the best 3 drop in the game though.
Yea but it's not something you typically play on curve.
Ramp Druid, I think, been a while since I played him.

I was already running my super-dirty-but-not-really-all-that-good p2w ramp druid deck with 7 legendaries, and I just got sneed's old shredder from a pack.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
Fuck I hate when I'm 0-0 and I start off against someone who seemingly has a constructed deck in arena and gets some insane opener.
All face will usually get you 4-7 wins, but, generally, you need some control to make it past 7 wins.
Ha! Finally have a good deck, I reckon. I got beat by a few players who're whipping out legendary after legendary, but I seem to be able to frustrate opponents with my paladin. The hero power is so dangerous now with the Quartermaster card.
I'm on a pretty nice streak now.
Biggest ass whooping I dealt was in 4 turns against a shaman; argent squire>shielded minibot>Blood Knight (9/9) and then I took the chance with an enhance-o-mech because I wanted wind fury; lo and behold, the 9/9 was now a wind fury.

Not on curve. It's humility with a bonus.
Kinda like Argent Protector. Minibot and Muster gave Paladin some actual Turn 2/3 options.

So basically you got the sheepiest pack you can probably ever get in the game.

I feel bad for Firebat he is probably getting ddosed.
Both can be very good and a lot of fun in certain decks.

Yes, but it needs to be people on your network/LAN or whatever... People only in your friend's list don't count.

Fel reaver is actually a good card in aggro. Depends on the meta though but right now BGH is pretty popular so it can be a liability as well.

So ive encountered this bug where im stuck on the arena rewards menu.
Cant start a new arena at all.
Logging out, reinstalling, or logging in on different devices doesnt help
This sucks.

yeah. bgh is the reason that card is bad. all of my decks are running at least one. my druid deck has 2 so i can almost always win the handlock matchup.
on another note, i've been prioritizing silence in arena way more because of people going ham with pants.

I would think you could use it for a burn Priest deck. You could run stuff like Mind Blast and Shadow Form for lots of damage. Not sure if it'd really work out right now though. There's also the fact that Priests can somewhat easily recover from that three damage where say a more aggressive deck can't. Can't say if it'll ever be used though.

I find new ways to fail in arena daily. Shrink Meistered my own guy instead of the enemy. It was what lost me the game 5 turns later.
