Fuck yeah, double slam double whirlwind opening hand. Just like old times.
I dislike rogues in arena and I already have a mage deck up and 40g quest for mages.
Haha, the 2nd game:

I've been trying a Warlock deck (Im still a Rogue and Shaman fanboy though) and you know which card has been giving me good value?
This bad boy:
I dunno, I'd rather run healbots and farseers. Granted that is harder to remove for most classes but I find burst healing to be more useful.

Going with what Tacitus_ is saying, burst healing is great when you're facing down a combo or just certain death.
However, with Priest or Warrior, that card can save you in the late game, especially if you have other big threats that use up your opponent's removal. Then you throw that down and if they have no more steam, you can pretty much heal back to full.
I can see the appeal of tapping for "free" though. It could be a cool 'combo' card with Mal'ganus or Justicar but I have a hard time seeing that happen.
I'm assuming he's being sarcastic. I, too, love it when I go up against a deck that's unique and different from whatever flavor of the week decks people can't seem to pull themselves away from using. I've often added people to give them props for a unique deck after a good match. I'm sure they're surprised (and disappointed) it's not some hot BM coming their way.
My 9 year old daughter saves enough gold up to run Arena. I help her draft and I'm coaching as she plays. First opponent is a paladin. She drops a joust card and he wins the joust with a Kel Thuzad. I explain to her why she is going to need to have a counter to that card. We have an answer for when he drops it. We wipe his board of 4 minions including Kel Thuzad. I swear to god the next turn he play Ragnaros.
I know arena is arena...but what a way to get humiliated.

So this druid guy innervated shade on turn 1. ok. turn 2 kills my SI7 with wrath then on turn 3 innervated loatheb then... I died.
This whole class needs to nuked.
The only rogue I see at top of ladder is myself, it's dying again. People started trying rogue again with LoE, there a lot of gold portraits around but looks like they're back to playing something better.

He messed up, you need Baron Rivendare to dual wield Ashbringer.

I run him in a Reno Paladin that's surprisingly decent.

i forgot to specify because i'm a fucking dumbass, this was in arena. Always posting too fast
I feel your pain. I stopped playing arena because all my cards are awful 2 and 3 drops, few spells of any value, and no legendaries when I'm facing 2-3 legendaries from some guys. It is frakking ridiculous.

Tons of hunter on ladder the past few days. Face, face, face. So dumb.
Played a few warriors on the ladder doing the same thing. I vastly prefer that to Paladins.
I think everyone (myself included) short change a lot of decks on simplicity.
Shifting the decks depending on the meta is tricky as well as some nuances of particular decks.
Finally pulled a Tirion today. Time to really lean into that end-of-season cancer climb.
Also, while taking a look at my collection I finally realized that the Cursed Blade art is depicting Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood. Does this mean a possible Lothar card for warriors in the next xpac?

Probably not

I just had an amazing win streak as mid-range hunter. It was at low ranks (19 to 15) but it was still pretty amazing.
One game in particular was pretty funny. I missed lethal due to bad knife juggler math but the next turn I sent out a gazrilla with a tundra rino in play to secure the win.

It's sad because this actually feels like an achievement nowadays given how underpowered hunter seems. There are so many tools to combat aggro, and the control hunter just isn't a "thing" enough to get real traction. Modern day hunters should insta-concede to priests, the matchup is literally 10-0 no matter which archtype of priest you use.
I am getting much better with my midrange secret paladin deck. 80% of my opponents on the way to rank 5 were control types, and I had to plan my plays several turns in advance. Careful use of Repentance was the deciding factor in most of the wins.
EDIT: I wish secret paladin was braindead easy, but I guess that is the aggressive variant that loses to most intelligent opponents.
EDIT2: Keeper of Uldaman made the deck easier than ever to win with.

I played one priest during my streak and it was a dragon priest. I think what secured me the win that game was Lorewalker Cho popping out of my shredder early and never giving him the board. By the end of the game he had given me thought steal and holy nova. We also bounced a freezing trap between each other a few times.

I had a great run with a secret dragon paladin. The synergy really helps Paladins extend the game a bit more which is where they are weak in normal SP. The deck needs to be refined but I think it can be really, really good.
Yeah that happens 1 out of 50 times for a druid.
Perfect case scenarios are really nothing to base critic on.
Druid is hardly OP.
That feel when you kezan mystic a frost mage's iceblock on turn 3, then just sit back and wait 20 turns until he dies to fatigue out of spite.
EDIT: I had lethal by turn 8, but drug the game out until he used his last spell, pyroblast, when I was at 10 hp... and he dies to fatigue the next turn.
EDIT2: Does that make me a sadist or a masochist?

I am not quite at the point where I would rage, but Divine Favor really starts getting on my nerves. The better you play, the harder it punishes you. (And "playing with Divine Favor in mind" amounts to playing strictly worse than you would otherwise.)
Seriously, I don't know who thought this card is a good idea.

Being able to dual wield 2 different weapons but sacrificing your hero power?
I like it!
this game is a classic card
no one complained or called it broken for over 2 years. its just now its really advantagaeous for aggro paladins that people have even noticed that it exists.
People always grumbled about it, but aggro paladin wasn't that good so it mostly got shrugs.
I came back to the game after a month or so yesterday since I wanted to make sure I got the cardback for this month, and since I hadn't built any deck in a while, ended up building a tempo mage and wow, going from 20 to 15 was smooth as butter. I only lost once to a face hunter who took me by surprise. I even mulligan'd my mirror image away which was a terrible decision (I wish it was an arcane blast, but I'm still missing my second copy). Put an Arcane Conjurer in the deck as well, and I think it's a good addition. Also, how had I never seen how useful duplicate can be in this deck? Got 2 Flamewakers and 2 Dr. Booms in separate games.
Well it started to become a problem during BRM with eboladin exploiting the card to great effect and it became borderline broken with the release of TGT. I really wonder what playtests are conducted at the Blizzard HQ because someone should have noticed that this card would not have any reason to be in Paladin with all of the upgrades they had gotten.
