No idea why but my win rate has gone up since GvG. I just went 9-3 with a Mage that had 4 Madder Bombers as a joke, the day before a Rogue with 5 Assassinates. Maybe I'm just getting lucky, but my average went from 6.60ish before GvG to about 7.20. A lot more 10+ runs nowadays. I'm at 1540 arena wins, for whatever that stat is worth. I've been gaining gold steadily over the last couple weeks.
That card wrecks people in arena, I see it all the time. It works on constructed to, for some variants of Demonlock. Which streamers are you watching who are passing it up?
Yeah, basically this. It's a powerhouse in Arena. You need to remove it immediately. I had a Mage get one with Unstable Portal once and it was a nightmare, he found so many ways to ping himself. Hero ability, Mad Bomber, Madder Bomber, etc. In the single turn he dropped it it was already up to an 10/10 (didn't help me much that it only cost him 2 mana to drop) and the next turn it was like 14/14. It's not so great in constructed though, as it's too expensive and slow and too many people run silence for Undertaker, but it can work well if you save your Flame Imps.
By the time you get over the jubilation of winning your match your hunter opponent has already beat their next opponent. I used to get the same way and think the hunter got lucky at times when they barely got lethal off, but the truth is you need to get lucky to beat hunter because they have a number of ways of killing you, you have to draw into your right taunts and heals whereas hunter can draw into anything to kill you if you don't. Last night I got added for a "gj lucky fucker" when I was 1 off lethal two turns in a row and had lethal 3 different ways the turn I killed him.
Warrior is really strong if you get a few weapons, but if you don't you're often hosed because chances are you didn't get a brawl and warrior has basically no aoe to remove minions.
Some cards are overshadowed by better versions of it, in constructed you always have the choice to go with the better option.
I'm 7-0 with a Warlock atm, but I have insane removal. 2 Implosion, 1 Soulfire, 1 Corruption, 1 Shadowflame, 1 Shadow Bolt, 1 Darkbomb, 1 Drain Life, 1 Siphon Soul lol. Also 2 Argus, 2 Sunwalkers, 2 Dread Infernals. I usually go 5 wins with Warlock, but I've done a 12 win with Warlock before and a couple 8+. Warlock is definitely in the bottom 4, next to Priest, Warrior and Hunter. Basically, the best classes are the ones that can affect the board. Which is why Mage will always be numero uno.
Uh, Shaman? Shaman was arguably #3 over Rogue in arena class power rankings before GvG. It was (imo) Mage, Paladin, Shaman, Rogue, everything else. Now it's Paladin, Mage, Rogue, Shaman, everything else. Warrior and Priest are definitely the worst arena classes.
