Heh, yeah sorry. I've actually decided I don't like our collective wisdom here. As a group, we focus too much on efficient minions and curve. Neither of these things are bad, imo, but they don't look enough at constructing a plan to win a game in Hearthstone. Decks with a bunch of efficient minions on curve are never bad, but they're not likely to do that well right now unless they're actually the absolute best class because you have to contend with a number of AOE and aggressive options. I generally look for charge, buffs, and board-affecting spells as my top picks right now because those allow you to either claw back if you don't draw perfectly or push an advantage with a good minion. My most recent 12-win mage deck ran two counterspells, a flamestrike, and two polymorphs. It relied on protecting efficient minions (especially ethereal conjurer) and just enough cheap cards to trade on the first couple turnsQuote:

Warrior is the class that we haven't drafted recently...but I can't make you forgo the best draft class for the worst draft class just because of that. Mage.
I can, pick warrior, It'll be fun :smallsmile:
@Draft:
My last draft here was a Mage, and since we are in a draw, I vote for Warrior so we can keep going
Class: Paladin/Mage/Warrior
Current: Grim Patron /Revenge/Arcane Golem
Hmmm, an interesting choice right away. Patron?
Revenge. You can't assume you'll be able to draft around patron. Revenge is a good whirlwind effect that sometimes acts as a board clear at the end of the game.
Agreed. Arcane Golem is similarly too inconsistent to draft over Revenge, since you'd basically need to successfully draft a full Aggro Warrior deck, which isn't really happening in Arena.
Revenge is an expensive Whirlwind at the start, but when you're injured it's a strong board clear; and Warrior's Armor means that if you can clear the board, you can deal with having 12 Health.
@Draft:
A board clear it is, then.

Ugh... Bolster? And hope for Monkeys?
Sight unseen? I don't think so. Monkeys are really good and Bolstering two (or more) taunts is great, but without any taunts yet, I think the Thrallmar Farseer is better.
I would have went Arcane Golem myself just because revenge is so over costed. Thrallmar Farseer is the choice. Bolster is just too bad.

Gurubashi Farseer.
That warrior pick... ow.
For paladin, I'd consider the Dancing Swords too, despite the deathrattle, because curve. But Gurubashi usually needs at least two things to damage it for it to die, and has potential to grow into... oh, deja vu. Everyone knows what it does.
@Draft:
Hopefully this situation doesn't repeat during this draft. Farseer it is.
Also, another vote for the berserker.

Oh, man, an OD. Take it. Those things are irritating if they can't be removed immediately. Also revel in the irony of getting the choice of two taunts and a taunt-generator right after passing up Bolster.

Now, we're on pick number eleven, and I barely have any early game. But kraken is value... so, which one?
You can get early game later, pick the kraken!!!
I think Kraken is slightly overvalued. But it's still the pick over ERF here.
Kraken is a 6 mana 9/7 and a 3 mana 4 damage spell rolled together. It's not overvalued, it's about as good as you can get for a common.
