Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
(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.

Rogue. No-one expects rogue.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
Shaman. It's my favorite class. It's pretty hit-or-miss in Arena, but hit-or-miss includes "hit."
You can call me Draz.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
Druid. It has the best midrange and endgame cards, which Arena tends to end up in.

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

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
Hex is great, the other two are sub-par and garbage, so easy pick.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.

Frost Elemental gives us our first moderately-sized body, and will help slow an enemy threat.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
Um, wow. That's sad. I vote cold light just because it's ability is good sometimes when you're desperate or if you end up with a warleader or spiritwalker

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.Toph Pony avatar by Dirtytabs. Thanks!

It's the Seer, not the Oracle.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.

Re: Hearthstone Arena Drafting!
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.Originally Posted by actual quote from this forum
