Me neither. I've played against back to back Mages that got one though, as well as 2 Fireballs. FML. I'm always shocked when I see key/clench class epics in Arena, because I never get them. Although I guess Avenging Wrath sort of counts. That has been my first example. Otherwise it's shit like Ancient of Lore

Done. It'd be like speed chess.
Holy FUCK. Archmage Antoninadas copies his own Fireballs? You have to be kidding me. Allowing him to survive only a single turn = death. That was insane. I was absolutely dominating this guy and I had the game in my hands. Never seen a single Legendary turn the tide so easily and quickly. Had I known that I would have won as well. Wow. Absolutely unreal. This Paladin deck shoulda gone to 12 but I fail.

There's currently a bug where the End Turn button gets stuck halfway through its animation if you do some weird mouseover stuff to it (maybe while clicking then dragging off) and you're unable to click it to end the turn, sometimes forever. That could be why some people are timing out every single turn. They could also be assholes.

No. You can tell they are just indecisive or stupid the way they mouse over things. It happens in 2Star Masters a lot now too, not just arena. Way more than it used to. They also seem to have Russian names. Wish I was joking about the last part, I really, really, desperately wish I was joking.
Ick. I just got 55 Gold and 80 Dust for 6 wins. Not that 6 wins is anything special, my average is 6.5, but still. Used to *almost* get a draft every time at 6 wins.
So I opened a Golden Ancient Watcher, a normal Ancient Watcher, and my 2nd Sunfury Protector. Is there any deck that could actually make Ancient Watcher work for constructed or is it not worth it? Was thinking 2 Young Brewmaster, 1 Ancient Brewmaster, 2 Ancient Watchers, 2 Sunfury Protectors and 2 Defender of Argus and 2 silences. Just don't know what class?
I have so many Druid rares. Is Savagery ever good? Also, should never play more than 1 Nourish right? I got a Shield Slam recently and fucking love it. It's pretty much a guaranteed 2 damage for 1 mana, sometimes much more. I think it's underrated. What is the overall strategy when playing Druid constructed? That class confuses the hell out of me and I can't seem to make a decent Druid deck.
What are the Neutral rares you guys find yourself playing in every deck? For me it's: Argent Commander, Defender of Argus, Sunfury Protector, Twilight Drake.

I had the bug and I could still pass turn, just had to click in a much smaller area. Don't know sometimes it's people going afk, sometimes it's people being assholes, sometimes it's just people thinking about what to play. You might assume because it's turn 2 they shouldn't have that much choice but I've had it happen pretty often where I have to decide what to play first, assuming it'll get killed and if it doesn't how it combos, even on an empty board and especially if you have the coin. A good start can often snowball in a quick victory, if you can keep one early mob up, especially if it's something that enrages or draw cards or what not.

You know I hadn't really thought about it, but say 500,000 players made it to rank 20 1 star yesterday , then only roughly (roughly because not accounting for win streaks) 250,000 could make it to rank 20 2 star, 125,00 rank 20 3 star, 62,500 rank 19 1 star, etc. would mean about 1,000 people, the top .2%, made it to rank 17. Stars are generated mostly at the low end, since you can't lose stars, and move people up the ladder. So don't beat yourself up!
Eventually things will settle for constructed. But yeah, the day it drops with everyone starting at the bottom, of course it's going to take awhile for people to filter into the upper ranks. It'll be like that every month when the ladder resets. I'm wondering if the monthly ladder resets will accelerate patches; based on the statistics of the upper ranks. Mages sure could use a nerf to something, just not sure to what though

That fucking sucks. I had a streak of disconnects a while back that really fucked up some amazing arena runs. Just when I thought the disconnects had stopped, I'd play a game, and then DC. They need a fucking "re-enter" game option. Maybe disallow using it more than twice a day to prevent abuse. Also, a player should only be allowed so many maximum turns per fucking day.
Blizzard is a rare though. Never gotten it. In my current draft I got zero Fireballs to. Though I did get four Cone of Colds and two Flamestrikes. 11-2 right now... don't want to hit play for the last game.

Well CoC and Flamestrike are common, you tend to get them often. Blizzard is rare but Pyro is epic, never seen a pyro but in my current mage arena deck I have 2 blizzards(and 0 flamestrikes so it's not all great, 0 sheep, only one fireball/frostblast, so yeah).
Wanted to make a ranked druid deck that counters the current mage style but I'm missing too many cards it's annoying. I kinda dislike the huge difference between the value of even rare cards and epics and worse legendaries. Even disenchanting my gold rares only gives 100dusts, while a normal epic is 400dusts. Still made a start of a build but I really want 2 ancients of lore in it. Basically it has a bunch of healing mobs, nukes and large mobs. It's fairly slow but you catch up via the heals, and for "normal" decks it has the druid buffs and shit to generate taunters and annoying to kill mobs and the nukes can be used to control instead of direct damage. I'd need a rag, sylvanas, 2 ancients of lore and maybe an ancient of war too, as well as one more mark of nature and 2 bites, so pretty far off.

If you give me a deck list I'll run it, see how it does. I have all that.
EDIT: Because I got Rogue/Druid dominance, so I need tow in 5 games as one anyway.

ranked ladder is like... 30% mages, 30% paladin mage-countering decks, 20% warlocks, and 10% everything else. it's rock paper scissors at its finest. I've been playing my own paladin mage-countering deck and it does well against mages (though still not guaranteed) and ok against the other two. I tried a mage deck that was built on countering mages (counterspell, spellbender, secretkeepers, etc.) but it just gets raped by anything not-mage.
Before the patch I was playing a version of the Sylas lock deck, it was really fun. Can't even think about it now though because of all the mages.

I got reamed so terribly I am still at Angry Chicken. I picked up a couple of stars; I think I went 2W-3L to start. Not great, but w/e. However, I followed that up with 5-6 consecutive losses and RAGE QUIT. But I do appreciate you trying to cheer me up. =)
My butthurt level is too high to jump back in for now. Perhaps I will try again later with some retooled deck and less under-ranked peeps with decks full of goldens and legendaries at Angry Chicken rank.

Well I haven't tested it enough, I'm not sure yet it's just the general idea of playing typical slow control druid. Cards would be Bite, Claw, Wrath, Starfall and possibly Starfire for nukes, Mark of the Wild and Mark of Nature for buffing/giving taunt to shit, Novice Engineer, Loot Hoarder and the 2/4 draw gnome for drawing, Healing Touch, Far Seer, Naga or Priestess of Elune maybe? for healing, then Ancient of Lore for healing or draw depending on situation and then ancient of war/the 8/8 taunter, rag/sylvanas and fill up the rest with argus/dark iron/troll blocker/whatever really, I haven't tweaked the numbers of cards yet and if you need more early which might not be necessary.
The idea is that a typical mage deck(not the giants one) can only do a certain amount of damage. If you cast one healing touch you're generally safe for a very long time, and if you cast another heal like ancient of lore or priestess or a 2nd healing touch, you're pretty much not dying unless he alextrazsa but that's gonna take him a long long time. In the meantime you're playing big mobs(or average mobs that get buffed to 6/6 or 4/8 or more) that don't die to blizzard/cone of cold shit and once they unfreeze, he has noway to deal with anything on the board and dies.
It's nothing special really mostly it's a typical druid lategame control build but with healing touch and a couple more healing minions to account for pyroblasts/fireballs to the face. Can do a paladin one too but I think I have even less cards for the paladin one(divine fervor, holy light, divine guardian or whatever the 6/5 that heals for 6 is called)

Man I hate Ancient of Lore. I have one and it never feels like I'm getting value. I'd much prefer an Ancient of War. Then again I can't build a good Ranked Druid deck to save my life. I just went 0-5.
@Pyros That's basically what it is, but I don't have any Neutral legendaries outside of Baron Geddon, which I run since it seems good for a Druid. x2 Novice, x1 Ancient of Lore, x1 Argus, x1 Nourish, x1 Argent Commander, x1 Baron Geddon, x2 Wrath, x2 Mark of Nature, x1 Mark of Wild, x1 Druid of the Claw, x1 Bite, x1 Starfire (the aoe one), x2 Starfall, x2 Innervate, x2 Swipe and then like a few other value neutral creatures, as far as I can remember atm (GF is on the account, can't check). But I've tried all sorts of builds. I never do well with Druid, ever.
