Heckler. Has actual efficient stats for cost, occasionally does something really cool with kings on him.

[Anarion]

You've got a good number of solid brewmaster targets, so I'd give him the nod over juggler here. And I think you'd rather have a 2-drop than the champion. So I'd say brewmaster. I'm not confident about it at all.

[neriractor]

I´m gonna have to go with mukla´s champion here, it is horrible on 5th turn but it is a)some nice late game and b) a come back mechanic if you only have weak minions on board.

[Lethologica]

Stormwind Champion isn't shown on the curve. That's extremely relevant here.

Youthful Brewmaster let's goooooo

[Gandariel]

I actually rate Juggler over Brewmaster, especially in a deck with no lategame..

Juggler vs Mukla's. ..
Tough call. I'll vote for teh juggles

[Zevox]

He's Hunter, so Mukla's isn't as good as it is in other classes.

I'd take Flame Juggler. It's the most generally solid card of the bunch.

[Landis963]

OK, that's a tie between Juggler and Brewmaster, with a 3-way tie if you count my vote for Mukla's.

EDIT: Also added the champion to the curve.

[PsyBomb]

I'll second Juggler. Really nice card in general, and one of the best plays you can make to counter most common 1-drops and push tempo

[Landis963]

Toasty!

The Light does not discriminate.

Nah, the Coliseum Manager. It can be surprisingly decent in arena, and probably more so in Hunter, where you're not going to be tempted to hero power as often as in other classes.

Even without synergy picks, Mechwarper's a robo-crocolisk, which is better for Paladin than the Geomancer (Consecrate's almost an auto-pick if you see it, but otherwise you have little use for Spell Power) or the Salty Dog.

[Lethologica]

mechwarper makes it cheaper to use robots to do things
like manage coliseums
robots be takin our jerrrrbs

[PsyBomb]

Seconding Mechwarper for the Paladin.

For the Hunter... not so sure. Manager is a solid pick, but I'm a BIG fan of Mystic. Saved me too many games against the two top Arena classes (plus the mirror here is won and lost by tempo)

[Hamste]

Mechwarper picked and wait? What is this? My eyes! They burn from the horribleness.

Nerubian Egg/Anyfin can happen/Angry chicken

Yeah all three cards do nothing if you don't have synergies with them and I have no synergy. Even Aldor doesn't synergize with egg. Egg to protect against AoE? Angry Chicken because it does something with out an activator? Anyfin can happen and hope to pick 4 murloc knights?

Pick the egg. You can set it's attack to one if you use aldor on it.

I actually, specifically pointed out that I can't. Aldor is enemy minions only (I had checked when I saw the egg).

[PsyBomb]

I actually, specifically pointed out that I can't. Aldor is enemy minions only (I had checked when I saw the egg).

Still pick the egg. Blessings are one thing, Flame Strike insurance is another. The other two just suck in arena.

Edit: to clarify, you're much more likely to get good buffs than good Murlocks

[Lethologica]

Chicken is the card with the best worst case, but anti-AOE insurance is a reasonably broad case.

[Hamste]

Egg it is then.

Seems to be an easy stormwind but like to ask unless it is painfully obvious.

I have a soft spot for Earthen Ring Farseer, so I'll chuck a vote its way, but this pick could go to either 3-drop.

I'm in favor of the horse rider. He's always value and can really mess up people's plans.

Throw it back and ask for a new pack. This one's defective.

... I guess the windfury. It might at least trade for another card since it's got the body of a yeti.
