So after tons of Arena with no legendaries, I just got a mage deck with 3. Wtf?

I don't mind rogue. Miracle rogue is one of the best anti-control decks out there. But miracle rogue struggles against rush so it has much more defined match ups.

If you're seeing a lot of zoo use watcher druid, I just went 5/5 straight against zoos and I although I don't keep track I'd say I'm probably around 10/12 overall in the matchup. Right now I'm using:
Druid - Deckbuilder - HearthPwn
Edit - 6/6

Damn went 11-2 with mage today in arena, final boss? Warlock. Dude got out 3 knife jugglers out on the board and fucked me over with tons of weenies. Seems like it's pretty effective, gonna try it out whenever I draft a warlock.
Definitely liking all the Miracle Rogues running around. My Harrison Jones has never seen so much play. That fucking museum must be running out of room from all the Assassin's Blades.

It's interesting that people pick certain classes in arena that really are just not very viable. Had a run last night where I ran into 3 straight warriors. That class is not really good for arena, I don't think I've lost an arena match against one over about 20 matches. Their not even close either.

There's nothing particularly unviable about Warrior in arena. Watch some of Trump's Warrior Arena runs, they're terrifying. You just can't draft CONTROL warrior. But warriors still have a ton of really strong class cards that you auto-pick in arena, like fiery war axe, berserkers, arathis, etc.
I feel like a lot of rogue's spell's are too cheap. Getting Leeroy'd 3 times in the same turn is annoying.

I think Fiery War Axe is probably the best Arena card there is. I would happily draft every single Fiery War Axe that I saw in any draft. I would play 5 of those things in one deck if I could. When I coin out a 3/2 on the first turn and my opponent drops a War Axe, that often means the game is over right there. It may take another 10 turns to finish the game, but he just won.
All classes are viable in arena, classes that have hero powers that can't directly affect board just are more prone to either sucking badly (warrior with no weapons) or being very good (warrior with several fiery war axes for example). Mage on the other hand can do just fine with many sort of drafts because their hero power is OP for arena.
I've been ranking up with Gaara's ramp druid. Surprised how consistent and good it is so far. If run into lot of black knights I might have to switch thou. Currently 19-3 with it (at rank 9 so far).

I can agree with that. There are some classes that are really dependent on certain cards. You can make a case that Paladin is like that to a degree. There has been a few times where I drew neither consecrate or Truesilver and you're really screwed at that point.
Black Temple card back for at least rank 20. I assume legendary stays the same.
