I always use the start of the season to play either a ridiculous deck I came up with or one I'm not familiar with. You're always going to run into some weird shit at the start of the season, might as well have some fun with it.

I'm sure its been discussed so i hate to be repetitive, but recently my ipad has been crashing for no reason while playing hearthstone. I'm just trying to run a backup and restore it now so hopefully that fixes the problem. Similarly, I'll be playing my Android Phone on wifi, and not only does it run like shit thanks to the new update, but it will randomly disconnect from wifi for no reason. Any help on speeding up the performance and not having it randomly disconnect would be great.
Yeah outside of the occasional backfire, I had a ton of success with Fel Reaver in a mech mage deck. It was insanely good to be honest.

Wow, Amaz is a better arena player than I am!
It would have been one and a half years ago when players started suggesting this
Now Paladin would just take the top spot in a heartbeat, nerf Paladin rarities and Warlock+Rogue are next in line
It's not that simple anymore, it would require a serious overhaul of the drafting system and well Blizzard is still working on deckslots... go figure
Here we GO

Amaz about to reveal I believe.

Shaman is considered the worst class because it doesn't have reliable combo plays to swing the game. All its big combos require that you have a board going into the turn. And there's no way to make a board out of nothing. It also relies more heavily on rng than other classes, so it's easy to get discouraged when the dice rolls don't work out.
Still. I've had modest success with this type of deck in the past. It's certainly fun to drop bloodlust and windfury/rockbiter and blast the opponent down. But most players play against Shaman assuming you're setting up bloodlust, so they wipe your board every chance, knowing that you'll run out of steam in the late rounds (they're right). It's hard to get a situation where you have a good board state that lasts until your next turn. I think that Totem Golem is going to help, since it lets Shaman jump the curve a little bit to protect the other early minions. We'll see.
Start the druid mech revolution lol

Mech mage with fel reaver is verrry strong in current meta.
Hey man the last card (the Horserider) was pretty good.

Flame Lance 5 Mana
Deal 8 damage to a minion.
Amazing in arena over dragon's breath.

Nope I'm right as usual. It's just a worse version of Assassinate.
Preparing for the fel reaver meta.

Just doesn't really do enough to warrant a spot in a 30. But Amaz is right, if you pull it from Spellslinger you'll play it lol.

wtf Flame Lance is garbage, like seriously. Why would you ever use that card.
Polymorph is strictly better because it isn't stopped by divine shield and won't trigger a death rattle.

I don't think we had a choice with Amaz's reveal though. I doubt he had a choice either.
I'm not sure about Flame Lance either. Unless if there is a card that gives a bonus to using higher cost spells, people will stick with Polymorph. Doubt one mana is worth paying for not worrying about a sheep.
Wondering, are the only minions that have over 8 health Deathwing and Foe Reaver?

Yeah looks like they are expanding the spell pool for nefarian/spellslinger.
It also will thin out the commons for arena, potentially reducing the number of flamestrikes and fireballs. If I remember, lots of people were saying this is best way to nerf mage in arena.
I'm pretty sure this is not meant to be used in constructed but maybe there are a lot of 8+ health minions that you REALLY want to get off the board.
Challengestone 3 is starting:
Challengestone 3: Right On Target
Build decks with the following restrictions
3 decks of different classes for conquest format
Only cards that are capable of targeting other cards or heroes can be included in the decks.
That seems quite difficult

That's right, thanks.
Just an overall weird addition. Makes me wonder why they're showing off these cards, especially if their only intent is to 'nerf' random spell generators.

Another dozen similarly bad common spells and people might start thinking twice about Mage in arena, one isn't going to do anything sadly.
