    Game 9: VS Paladin

    Strong early start, with Chow, Warper, Nullifier, Flamewaker coin Frostbolt. Again.

    This time though, my opponent stabilized at six health.
    I had no right to win this game. He committed Seppuku with a Madder Bomber.

    Win

    7-2

    Game 10: VS Mage

    Unfortunately, I got tempoed out here. Drew none of my beef, and the other Mage drafted Echo of Medivh. A 6/6 was fine, but then I got a 9/9 AS WELL.

    Loss

    Record: 7-3

    150 gold
    20 dust
    Pack: Seal of Light, Crackle, Lost Tallstrider, Scarlet Purifier, Clockwork Giant

    Mando Knight, your draft.

    (Pre-draft disclosure: my average wins so far is around 3, and I haven't done an Arena since pre-Blackrock)

    I'll also log this on Hearth Arena. After the Playground finishes picking my draft, I'll compare its scores to what we picked.

    First, the hero!
    Druid - Shaman - Rogue

    I currently have a daily that includes Shaman victories, but Rogue has (in the past) been one of my better Arena classes.

    Shaman. It's my favorite class. It's pretty hit-or-miss in Arena, but hit-or-miss includes "hit."

    Druid. It has the best midrange and endgame cards, which Arena tends to end up in.

    Alarm-o-Bot is garbage and Wailing Soul has too high a chance of its battlecry being a drawback, so easy Sunfury here.

    Alarm-o-bot just to be different.

    You never know. Maybe you draft 3 Rags, your opponent plays nothing for the first 5 turns and Alarm-o-bot lives

    Hex. Better than Polymorph in my opinion since if desperate you can use it on you own guys.

    Some "find the lethal" challenges take advantage of the fact that you can turn your own guys into sheep, too.

    Hm, sub-par 5-drop or sub-par 6-drop? I think I'm going to say Frost Elemental, as getting good use of its battlecry is a bit less situational than Darkscale Healer's.

    Well, that's close to the worst set of rares we could've gotten.

    So, the question: double-edged card draw, or double-edged annoying tempo-interference? I'm honestly not sure which is preferably. I'll tentatively vote for Coldlight Oracle, but I could definitely be convinced that Mana Wraith is better.

    It's the Seer, not the Oracle.

    Oh. Well then, I guess Coldlight Seer. Sub-par stats, but so is everything in this bunch, and at least his effect isn't double-edged like the Mana Wraith's.

    That's 2:1 in favor of the Seer. Its battlecry is still a potential drawback (it affects ALL Murlocs), but unless the opposition floods the board with Tidehunters or Puddlestompers, it shouldn't come up that much.

    Mana Wraith isn't that bad (and it was the pick here IMO).

    Coin it on turn one, the opponent is forced to hero power. You hero power.
    He plays a 2-drop on turn 3. You trade with it and play a 3-drop.
    so yeah, in the absolute best possible scenario it is... Still Mediocre.
    but at least it's a 2/2 for 2, arguably better stats than the Coldlight.
