I really have severely underestimated aggro/temp in arena, Just had another 12 win deck with mage this time with 0 removal besides one poly. Unless the trade is in your favor you just go face and put as much pressure on the opponent as possible and most people will draft slow decks that just can't keep up. My winrate has skyrocketed just drafting more towards tempo/aggro and just racing all of these slow decks while only trading when it's completely in my favor.

Here's the deck
Missing spec knight, 2 tigers, 2 sunwalkers, stormwind champ, nefarian.

Even if the trade is favorable, many times, while playing that kind of deck, it's best to go face. Because they will have to make the unfavorable trade, and even if they get to make a slightly favorable trade because you didn't make one on your turn, it's still worth it to put them on the defensive.

Yea Rogue is my least played and whenever I pick rogue I end up going 3-3 or worse. I like Warrior and it is one of the few classes I've gone 12 wins with.
I've gone 12 with every single class at least 3 times each. Warrior was actually the first class I got 12 wins with, and it was a deck with 0 weapons. But now I pretty much avoid Warrior like the plague, unless I have a daily. They are definitely bottom tier for me and I think pretty much any other infinite arena player, but I guess we all have our favorites.




Omg nooooooo:

What hero/deck is a solid counter for DemonLock? 4 of 6 matches this morning were against variations of demonlock. They seem to be in a pretty good place right now. I don't have Jarax or Malganis so can't see for myself. I was playing a dragon Priest this morning and not doing well with it.

Edit: FYI 6 of 13 matches today have been against Demonlock variations.

Yea Dragon Priest isn't a mature enough deck to be going against any meta decks.

I don't have exact stats because demonlock can be built a 100 different ways, in general demons are a mid-range deck. Sitting between Zoo & Handlock. They can beat anyone almost but can also be beat by almost anyone. It's major weakness will be against rush decks and freeze mage I think.

Edit: Seems like Zoo is best option for dealing with Demonlock. Sick of having to play hunter and lock to compete.
Any control deck or the demon/zoo variation zoolock.

Did someone find a Preist deck that works? I've just queued up against 3 in a row. As Control Warrior I simply auto-concede to spare myself half hour games so I never got the chance to see their decks play out. But you can go days without seeing 1 Priest so getting 3 in a row means something is fishy.

The priest variant I play doesn't have a very good matchup against control warrior so conceding immediately seems like a poor decision.

Kind of a first draft, I noticed Kibler's dragon list had Alex, and Strifco's had Blessing of Might... When you combine those it makes winning with Leeroy veeerrry easy, because you can go Turn 5 consort, turn 6 weapon, turn 7 alex then leeroy them in the face for lethal if you have any board at all. And if you don't have combo you can just midrange them. But like I said it's a first draft, not sure if it's even that good, pretty fun though.

Yep, writing off arena again....fucking Kel'thuzad

Arena takes RNG to a new level, for rewards that really are not worth it.

Heh, you're telling me - had a good paladin draft a few days ago I 1-3'ed with... why?

Turn 8 Kel'Thuzad all three losses.

I honestly think I'm just too dumb for freeze mage. I have the whole deck, and I'm like 40% win rate. I guess I don't get it.

Freeze Mage is one of those decks that requires a lot of decisions and, dare I say, skill to pull off. You really need to evaluate every play because you're walking a very fine line between total lock down and total failure on any given turn. Not to mention that some decks like Control Warrior are auto-losses and Face Hunter can out race you.

I do love freeze mages on my control warrior. Armor up all game. Drop a pile of shieldmaidens after mage drops alex.
