You check out a bunch of sites for their power ranks. Most of them link to the decks. Here is one from Liquid hearth:
http://www.liquidhearth.com/forum/hearthstone/483743-power-ranks-april-2015-week-4
I don't think you can rank the top 20 decks right now though. They all are performing pretty well and all of them have bad match ups of one kind or another. Also the decks being played is changing constantly right now with the BRD adventure still in the the middle of release.
So I would look over a list like that and try them all out if you can. Then play what is most fun.
Face druid new meta
The only explanation I have is that he mindlessly slammed all cards with "mana" in their text in there for maximum ramp

I hope you countered that play by Cruel Taskmaster --> Coin --> End Turn
I haven't got a clue which ZooLock deck to try from this page, there are 5 different ones to choose D:

I wish you didn't need to open the Battle.net launcher to play the game. I want to pin Hearthstone to my Taskbar but all that does it a shortcut to the Battle.net launcher QQ

ZZMitch, sorry I didn't reply when you were spectating earlier (inky was spectating too actually if I remember correctly). Was on mobile. But man, that dude's fucking Mage deck. So close at the end there.
5-0 with my scum Arena Mage though... so all is well. Glad you guys got your spectate quests. I think I'm like 12-0 lifetime when Gaffers spectate me for that "Spectate a friend while they win a game" quest.

Ahh so BRM required then, guess I need to wait before I can build something like that.
EDIT: any Europeans around? I just mulliganed a crummy 40 gold quest into the spectate for a free pack quest
I have learned this, and then forgotten it and done it again, like six times.
So does Betrayal.
But does the betrayal minion take any damage?

Grim Patron Warrior doing work as well.
No surprise to see that top 3 though... it's pretty much my top 3 as well. Emperor Balanced and Imp Gang Boss doing hella work over time.
Captain Greenskin absolutely, it doesn't even need to be in a Pirate deck to work!

Mirror entity is one thing, but so is that one 1 or two mana double taunt that shields the flamewaker. Can't get minions out enough that early to take his taunts down and still survive the flamewaker. I have never been burned down so fast, not even by a face hunter.
Malygos. It's almost viable.
Yep, it's crazy. I out-burned a face Hunter with a Flamewaker deck today, and cleared a 6-creature board on a Shaman's side with Arcane Missiles and two secrets.
Oh ok, makes sense.

Great Hungry Dragon disaster story from Arena just there - enemy Warlock has a big hand but is behind (no board vs. 2/3, 1/1, 0/2 Healing Totem) going in to his T4. Leads out Hungry Dragon, which gives me a Northshire Cleric. I use Rockbiter to clear off his Hungry Dragon with the 2/3 and 1/1, before playing a Taunt. Over the next few turns the NSC ends up drawing me 3 cards, one of which is Cult Master. I end up with a massive hand and risk overdrawing despite using all my mana each turn. Really think Hungry Dragon's a card that's much better when you're coming in to T4 with some kind of lead.
Beating all the bosses in an adventure on heroic gives you a card back.

I have the spectate a friend-listed person while they win quest.
The problem is I have no friends playing.
Anybody want to help me out?

I don't run Mirror Image, I don't think it throws down enough pressure for a tempo deck. I might consider it though.
Grab a chair and I'll talk to you of my 0-3 Rogue Arena run from this weekend and you'll feel better about your wins. The deck was fine, possibly even great, it had Evis, Dark Dwarves, Assassin's Blade, and a solid curve. Nothing to post on Reddit, but I felt comfortable guessing 5 wins.
Game 1 Vs Paladin
We are evenly matched and I gain a slight advantage going into turn 6. He drops Emperor Thaurassin... I have to trade to kill it and drop a yeti and dagger up. He then drops a discounted Sneed's Shredder... I kill the shredder only to reveal Tirion... the game continues, but there is no coming back.
Game 2 Vs Mage
I play around Flame Strike as I'm pretty sure it's been in her hand for awhile now. It finally comes out, but only 2 for 1s. Still not sure if one of their other cards is flame strike I ease back in and play 2 minions. Flamestrike. Only 3 cards in hand now, I play 2 minions. Flamestrike. 3 Flamestikes in a row... I am top decking while she dominates the board.
Game 3 Vs Druid
I pass turn 1. Coin, Innervate, Yeti. I don't have a 2 drop, dagger up. Yeti attack, robo-cub drops. I drop a Raging worgen. He wrath's it. I'm dead by turn 6 as he continues to draw removal for every minion I play and kills me with Yeti & Robo-cub.
I've lost a lot of games, but that Paladin loss stunned me. To have both of your legendaries in hand on curve is bullshit. The two losses that came next were bad, but it was nothing compared to that first game.
Yeah, sometimes you get some horrible matchups in Arena. I had a 0-3 or a 1-3 recently where my deck wasn't that bad, but on that last game my (presumably also 0-2/1-2) opponent dropped Boom on turn 7 and Rag on turn 8. Sometimes you run into people where you can't figure out how they've done as well or as poorly as they must have to be your opponent that match.
Since I started stat tracking maybe 20-25 runs ago I've averaged 6 wins though, so I don't feel too bad about it.

Playing decks without burst combos can be so boring sometimes. Was playing against a handlock as a shaman without any sort of burst whatsoever, and in the end the match went into fatigue before he conceded.

Why the hell can't we copy one deck to an empty slot in order to tweak it? Dumb as hell.

I've known about this "feature" for awhile now, but this is the first time I've ever actually seen it happen.
Mistress of Pain drops from my Piloted Shredder, he steals it with Cabal, then buffs it with Power Word: Shield so that it survives his Soul Priest, Circle combo. He even had the chance to kill it off with hero power, but he killed some random junk that I had out instead. He then procedes to hit face causing the chain reaction of death from full health. I made sure to express my condolences several times while his health counted down.

Tempo mage is really fun with Flamewakers. Had to do a hunter/mage daily and facehunter is so bleh to play so I tried this tempo deck http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/227207-eu-legend-1-tempo-mage-updated
Went 5-1 with it. Granted, 4 of those wins were thanks to the kezan just bringing ludicrous tempo to me >_>

Yup, you want to play hungry dragon when you have a minion down already to potentially clear the 1 mana random that shows up.

Trying to get my wife into the game as I still level up the basic decks to 10. How badly would I do if i use a basic deck online?

Not too bad in the lower ranks. I would say do all the special quests listed on the wiki and then just buy packs, later on when you are more knowledgeable of the cards and the classes try your hand at arena.

My previous invite from a stranger was full of hopeful messages about my death.
This time around the guy/gal seems pretty chill.
Can't be afraid to be raged at cause you miss all the times they don't rage at you.

All I see streamers playing these days is grim patron warrior.
Goddamn.
And I kind of agreed with that Kripp video from the past week or so about the reward structure not serving the general user base anymore.

That Altramedes hero power. Hope you guys have Harrison for the heroic version!
Also half expecting that the Nefarian Strikes hero power will just straight up murder your whole board on heroic. Don't think I've seen any bosses that really compare to Heroic Sapphiron yet in terms of bullshit like that.

Which wiki? An official one? Is that the stuff like play 3 games or get a class to lvl 10?
