Wife just found out (the hard way) that apparently the Legendary limit doesn't exist in Arena - bumped into someone with 2x Ysera and a Faceless for extra measure Paladin just a minute ago... (And yes, she managed to gank the first Ysera)
[Note: More surprised at it being double Ysera - not really surprised the limit doesn't exist, since no other card limit does]

Which version are you using? I've seen a few...And it seems like there is a lot of variance in the builds.
This is the one I see most often:
2x Soulfire
2x Mortal Coil
1x Bloodmage Thalnos
2x Ancient Watcher
2x Sunfury Protector
2x Ironbeak Owl
2x Earthen Ring Farseer
1x Drain Life
2x Shadow Bolt
2x Defender of Argus
1x Shadowflame
2x Twilight Drake
2x Hellfire
2x Siphon Soul
1x Alexstrasza
2x Molten Giant
2x Mountain Giant
I almost want to find room for Jaraxxus...Or replace Alex with him.

I've been trying a few different aggro decks including aggro paladin and UTH Huntard. The one I've settled on is MurLock. I love the synergy with the murlocs and I am able to consistently get turn 5 or 6 wins. I haven't been playing nearly as much as I used to but was able to go from rank 15 to rank 11 in a couple of hours.

I want inner fires for my priest deck but I always hate crafting commons. My take on it is that it lets you shadow word death the majority of the 4 power minions that give priests trouble, and it's only 1, compared to the 4 mana dark irons I'm currently using. The advantage to the dark irons is that they leave a body behind and deal with 4/4s that inner fire wouldn't help with. With temple enforcers, twilight drakes, and power word shields, plus comboing it with shadow word death, I think i can get decent enough mileage out of it.

Its ok, you're not alone. I've definitely gotten better, but I'm not great by any means.This is the first CCG I've ever played and I'm so, so bad at it
These links are about arena drafting, but I found reading about all these cards and why they are valued the way they are to be very helpful.

I honestly think the class that comes closest to being overpowered is Shaman. You didn't see them at all before the Mage nerfs because Mages hard-countered them. However, since Mage is no longer viable Shaman are now everywhere and I simply cannot beat them. It doesn't matter what type of deck I use, I can't beat Shaman. They simply have way too many board clears, taunts (those wolves can go fuck themselves) and unreal burst potential.

You need some kind of board clear because, yeah, if you get a bad draw and get behind early against shaman it is usually bad news bears.

Thanks for this. I'd been drafting pretty horribly in Arena simply because of not knowing the value of some of these cards.
Yetis, Yetis everywhere.
Lava Burst is a good response to an Innervated Yeti actually. With Warrior if I was vs Druid I would always try and keep Cruel Taskmaster or Slam+Execute or Shield Block+Shield Slam in my hand if I got them on the draw. At best the Yeti gets two attacks in that way, so you wind up behind on life but a little ahead on card advantage. One of those things you have to ask yourself "Can my deck deal with this?" when you're building one for constructed.

Just had a "fun" match - Turn 2 opponent coins into Werewolf, Turn 3 Argent Protector and clears my stuff + hits for 4, Turn 4 Argent Protector and clears my stuff and hits for 4, Turn 5 Argent Protector x2 clears both my critters I dropped, Turn 6 runs me over.
By no means impossible, but least fun match I've had in a long time.

Did you find the mortal coils too rarely used? Maybe I'm just forcing finesse into a blunt instrument.
Would you rather have the warlock wrath of god vs Doomsayer? Or is he a early game board clear you find critical? Do you not use Thalnos on purpose? Or do you not have one?
