To keep the derail alive: I worked at a Card & Hobby shop for years. I played both games, attended tourneys for both games and ran store events for both games. It will shock no one to learn that MrMorrow's view of reality is not common. Also, he brought up this SWCCG thing before, I commented on it and he neg'd me. He takes it serious.

It's not likely for sure, but it might be accurate - some areas have had weird followings over the years with CCGs - I remember the Wheel of Time CCG and Jyhad running out MTG around here for a couple years - it resurged, but for a while from Alliances to Masques or so it really tapered off in preference of those two for a while.

Indeed, I miss the hell out of Jyhad every time I play EDH - EDH is fun, but pales in comparison to the beauty that Jyhad had to it. (Even with a fraction of the card pool)

Can someone explain to me the thought process behind this seemingly mid-game oriented Warlock deck I've been seeing? It seems to run half the agro stuff, and then a bunch of stuff like Yeti and Defender etc. To me it just seems terrible, they lose the agro because they can't draw enough of it, but don't have a powerful enough mid-game to actually deal with anything. So they end up trading a bunch instead of going for face and just lose the game because everyone elses deck is more efficient. I don't really understand what they are trying to do. I hit like 3 straight on the ladder this morning and slaughtered all of them

That doesn't matter, a streamer played it so it has to be an amazing deck!!!

Not bad but it's got some holes.
just drafted this priest deck... first ever arena draft so just tried to use the draft tiers sheet someone linked.. thoughts, or advice?
The mana curve looks about right in essence (as another poster put it earlier in this thread, your mana curve should look like it's giving you the finger) but we can't see which two 6 casting-cost cards you have.
Oasis Snapjaw is generally not considered a good card. The reason it is rated a bit higher for Priests is because of Inner Fire. But you have none of those.
Two Northshire Clerics would be better than 1 but it's Arena so I get it.
Soulpriest is an odd card that seems to me to work against the envisioned goal of the priest more often than not. It seems like a fragile finisher and doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. I'd rather keep my ability to heal my Oasis Snapjaws while I draw cards with my Northshire Clerics and just play a Chillwind Yeti in place of Soulpriest. But I will admit to having limited experience with Preists in constructed.
Ironfur Grizzly isn't the worst card ever but there are better common 3-drops such as Earthen Ring Farseer and Harvest Golem. But it may very well be that those Grizzlies were the best pick both times. The rest of the deck looks okay to me more or less besides that Murloc but again, it's Arena so I get it.
I like Crazed Alchemist, Twilight Drake, and Acidic Swamp Ooze. I'd predict myself to go 4-3 or 5-3 with this deck. (caveat: I suck)

iirc max wins is 12 in arena, so it simply puts the key in automatically because it will not let you get any more winsSometimes things work out. Why does the stupid key autoinsert at 12?

Right, but I've 12'd prolly five or six times and I never remembered to get a screenshot until this one, I'm always scrambling at the end. I'd like to be able to see all my 12 win decks.
Shaman seems to be the easiest to get a broken deck with. Multiple fire elementals plus either lots of mass removal or broken uniques seems to be relatively common.
