Not sure what cards you have for Priest, but there's this Holy4000 deck that's out and works decently. Day9 did a daily on it if you'd rather watch someone play it than read it. Personally I substituted some cards to make more Gazlowe inclined deck and it does alright. Take a few expensive cards to work though, so might not be something everyone can run, but I find it fun to play.
Kibler, then Strifcro enhanced it?
Oh my fucking god I just played the best arena match in the history of Hearthstone
This Huntard made the typical moronic move of preparing my minions for the most obvious Explosive Trap, turn 3 secret + Arcane Shot on my one <3 health minion
Since I'm not a total imbecile I just keep building my board, value trading for anything he drops with a Counterspell up to protect against Unleash the Skill...
... all to set up the turn 10 Mekgineer Thermaplugg OTK!

The Beatles sum this bug up perfectly:
Perfection.
So I'm disenchanting my golden UTs after I get home. 800 dust. Should I also disenchant my Nat Pagel + Squirrel/Devilsuar legendary to craft another? Ragnaros, Troggzor, Sneed's... Still dont' have any of them. Which one should I get next?

Hearthstone |OT| Undertaken... he won't find you, he won't kill you.
Winner. So good(ie)

I took the suggestions here and got the Pyros, Cultists back in, and crafted a Light of the Naaru. Great success. Three (close) wins so far. Games are fun as fuck at Rank 11 and up.
A Lightwarden can get so out of control so fast.
One COH with that and a Cleric up with 3 or more injured minions = GG.

Now that Hunter is... less viable, is Freeze Mage an option?

I got a 17 attack Light Warden up from some Wild Pyro/Circle of Healing/Northshire Cleric antics the other day. I hit face with it once, and the Mage just conceded.
Only if you're an awful human being.

Nerfing undertaker and leaving mech mage alone makes little sense to me beyond millking gvg packs.
I think it makes thing worse. More mech mage or more fatigue and stall decks. Yipee

2 games in a row I got to pull off prep + sword oil + sword oil, with a significant board. I beat a control warrior dealing a total of 21ish damage on turn 6, and a fatigue or echo mage on turn 7 with 24 damage for exact lethal.
I even had blade flurry both times but had no mana or need to use it... but imagine if I had another prep, that would be 30+ damage bursts.
"This guy's deck is crazy"
I'm not even aggro lol
I'm personally still running into hunters. Also, I would be as worried about running into control warrior if not more than hunters. Hunters don't seem to ever run flare anymore anyway.
Mechwarper may need nerfing, but I'm not convinced personally. Also I rather like playing against fatigue mage, assuming they don't take 20 minutes over the course of their turns. Mech mage is much less consistent than hunter had been which is why it isn't really top tier but more of strong B tier deck.

Wow, impressive! If rank 23 legend isn't good enough to hold your own in a regional qualifier, I don't know what is. Other than, y'know, the other 22 ranks. Go for it!
No, here's the list:
http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/155637-tesla-gvg-midrange-warlock
I'm only rank 12(I mostly play arena and just do dailies on ladder for the classes I probably won't be doing arena runs on), but I needed 5 wins and got them all really quickly, no losses(although obviously the priest nearly got me). Aside from the priest, I played against midrange druid, mech mage, zoo, and midrange hunter. The deck looks like zoo early on, so it has a pretty decent surprise factor.

Ah crap, I have to update hearthstone manually on my phone every time there's a patch?
Do you? It should be automatic. Though my mobile tablet version didn't seem to actually be updated when I was playing before, I BM taunted a hunter turn 1 for playing under taker, then it still got the bonus HP

Here's a question for anyone who's bored, which card do you think is the coolest in terms of sound / voice? There are some pretty sweet ones out there. After using it for a few times, I've really like attacking with Foe Reaper 4000, just sounds so cool. Most m=Mech cards do. Also a huge fan of Kel'Thuzard's attack, was always great when you used him to revive a full board. And my personal classic favorite, the Venture Co. Mercenary.
If anyone else wants to look up / link something, you can go here and search. Once you find a card and go to it's page, there are buttons for the sounds. Also a good way to see what some zero attack minions sound like as well, some which are amazing.

Aaaand, the deck went 12-2. It was a sick deck after all.

Nozdormu easily out of those three. I know it would panic the shit out of me in an Arena game.
That's looking like an excellent deck BTW. 2 Fireball, 2 Poly, 2 Chugga, a Portal and 3 Girls? Awesome.

Forgot about Flame Leviathan. That's pretty awesome too. A lot of the Mech cards are just great. Interesting that he has two sets of sounds, must of had the others in earlier testing. Really happy they moved onto giving it a voice.

Whoops, was sure I hit edit.
So, have they changed how secrets trigger?
Faced Handlock, he had two giants, a BGH, and a Healbot on board. I play both Explosive and Freezing, in that order, for the Explosive to trigger first and kill the BGH if he tests with that, which I know is how it used to work.
He attacks face with the BGH, and the Freezing triggers, sending it back, but not the Explosive?!

Warbot is my favorite.
SPECIAL DELIVERYYYYYYYYYYY
Yeah, probably too late but I'd take Feugen there. A turn 9 vanilla 8/8 isn't that exciting in current 6pool arena. Like, a game getting to 9+ mana nowadays is usually a topdicking contest where the effect doesn't matter anyway.

Twist: He gets to 11-2 and the other guy has Stalagg.
If you played them in that order (exp then freeze), my best guess would be that you were tricked by the targeting arrow and he actually targeted something on your board. If you didn't have any minions, you either played them in the other order or it's a bug.

But he trades with boulderfist ogre, and BGH is an epic.
Hey, stop spreading my Stalagg secret tech around!

Secrets don't trigger on your turn.
Bah I forgot it was my turn. That's it

Kripparian popping off about Dr Balanced.
People who are new should watch it and then be educated on why this card is FAIR AND BALANCED.

Lovely RNG today.
I had 4 targets for boom bots. Boom bot hits my shade for 4 killing it. 1/4 chance to hit, 1/2 chance to kill = 1/8 chance. I would have won the game if I had that shade.
I still haven't lost. My ragnaros has 4 targets total. 1/4 chance to lose the game. 1/2 chance to survive another round. 1/4 chance to win the game. Guess what happens. 1/4 chance to lose... of course my ragnaros shoots the ancient watcher and not the twilight drake or molten giant or... face which would have won the game.
Even his second boom bot hit my 6/5 van cleef and brought it down to killing range. Boom bot had a 1/3 chance to hit van cleef. If it missed, I probably would have won.
This hasn't just happened this single game. It has happened so many games today...
Props to kripp, that is really good analysis of the card.

Welcome to my last Arena match.
My opponent had a Antonidas into that stealth spare part on turn 8. Turn 9 Flamestrike of course, for a board clear too, just to be sure I had no hope of rushing him down. Yeah, this is Arena for you. And this is on top of a turn 2 Mad Scientist (that pulls duplicate) to a turn 3 Acolyte of Pain. Hope they enjoy their 12 wins.
I had someone pull off a stupid Whirling Zap o matic double flametongue totem combo on me and killed me turn 4 today if that makes you feel any better. On top of it I was playing rogue and conveniently pulled zero removal from my deck.

Freeze mage forgot this when he killed my Leper Gnome at 1 health a couple days ago. "That was a mistake"
