Is there any better feeling than the one where you're playing a Hunter, take firm control of the board and the emote "Well fought. I concede." pops up? I won't say it's better than sex. But it's close.
Hah hah, just played a Hunter with Zoo. He lets me flood the board and played his secret(explosive) on turn two. I play two more minions on turn three and pass while he hero powers and plays a creeper. Turn four I drop a Kezan mystic and steal the secret. He promptly concedes. Feels Goodman.

*Heartharena has been helping me immensely with drafts. Before I felt lucky to get 3 wins and now I have a 4 win avg. with a 7-3 and 6-3 run using pally and a 5-3 on shaman. I know it's not great but at least I'm hardly ever getting negative value if I spend 150 on a run.

I fucking hate mages though, out of the 7 or so drafts since I started using it i have had been offered mage zero times and played against them 5 times on my last 6-3 run with the last one having 3 flame cannons, a poly, and a flamestrike. Even though I'm doing better at arena I still can't stand to do a run more than once every couple days because it's so fucking infuriating.

Managed to draft a Kel'Thuzad and Silvanas in one arena deck as a mage.

My first two games I got blown out drawing garbo, but I had a game vs a controlish druid where I go Turn 6 Syvlanas, Turn 7 Flamestrike, Turn 8 Kelthuzad, and end up with an unstoppable board.

Okay, if I'm being perfectly honest this draft felt a little unfair.

It was something like Start game with 6 drop, KT, Fireball, throw it all back, get KT, Flamestrike, 5 drop.

Ended up going 7-3, only was offered one Taunt and a minion heavy low curve hunter took me out a turn before I could finish em off ;[

Man your draws really had to be trash if you started 0-2 as a mage with Sylvanas and KT lol

Watching Kripp play this morning and he's making misplays that even _I_ would never make.

I can't watch trump anymore because I just rage at the computer. Pretty sure he intentionally misses lethal to troll chat at this point.

My problem is that you usually draft to have most of your cards around turns 4-6, but then you get matched against hunter who, if they drafted to go for the face, can get you down to like 10 health by then which means it's gg. If I don't do that and get enough early game, I get matched with people who actually have board resets flushing my whole board down the toilet ...
In arena your first 3 wins are almost always against facetards, regardless of the class. You will find players not making good trades and just going for your face. That's why you have to have enough early game, just to survive the first 3 retards.

I finally got my first 12 win run in arena. I don't play that much, mostly arena every other or third day the last couple of months, depending on gold and daily quests, but it has still taken a while. It was a mage of course where I got to draft 3 fireballs, 2 flamestrikes and a water elemental among other stuff. No legendaries in the draft but I did get one as a reward... Bolvar.

Am I the only one that thinks Troggzor is underrated? He's not going to single-handedly bring you back if you are way behind on the board like a Boom but it seems like he can keep your opponent from gaining any momentum and can help lock down a tight game. Especially since it can't be BGH'd and survives that turn 7 flamestrike along with his rockjaw. It's kinda like a Loatheb that effects your opponents play for more than one turn. I would definitely like to add a Dr. Boom to my mech mage and almost have enough dust to do that, but I'm thinking I'll still keep running Trogg. One star from rank 9 yo!

I love Troggzor but I am not rank 5 or under so my opinion doesn't count.
Fucker's doing work for me today. 14-3 on my mech mage so far and just hit my personal best of rank 7. I'm way overdue for the RNG gods to smite me though. Almost feel like I should quit now while I'm ahead.

What's the cheapest constructed deck I can build that wins quickly? I have like 8k or something dust and a bunch of the old cards.
