oh wow, so they indeed screw it up.
Unfortunately it seems they are going to resolve the issue just with the people who opened packs, not with everyone, I don't expect anything to come my way (sadly)

Warrior is really underrated in Arena,i'm not sure why Kripp keeps on nagging about Arena Warrirors,my last two runs with Warrior since the start of the 1 free win promo has been;12-2 and 9-3 and now i started a third one(i expect this one to go 9+ as well).
12 win deck went as expected as i drafted 14 taunts(two Tar Lords and a possible third one thru elemental discovery) along with 3 weapons,what surprised me was the 9-3 run.I had no weapons and only 4 taunts(no tars big or small) it had good tempo and some good late game cards if it went to that in the form of Elise but deck was really nothing special,i expected 5-7 wins at most but somehow ended up really overachieving.I realize the talent pool in the Arena since the start of promo helped me get there but i still reckon Warrior is better than Druid and Priest in Arena,especially if you could draft a bunch of taunts.Rogue and Hunter stands no chance,Rogue in particular is really weak against Warrior,even if they have bunch of envenoms and Vilespine their hp doesnt last them enough to go into the real late game,only class that gave me real problems was Paladins and aggro Paladins at that,3 of my 5 combined losses occurred against aggro Pally's.Mage is an interesting match up,if they are minion heavy they stand no chance,if they are target removal heavy they still lose eventually as they flat out run out of stuff in the late game,aggro mage with a few fireballs is a bit more troubling,tho still winnable with correct strategy if you go first.

I've been playing maybe 4-6 months, and last night I think I saw something I've literally never seen before.
Someone playing Paladin played truesilver champion and then 0-mana dread corsair + patches for the combo. Unless they had a bunch of weapons that's quite the unusual combo, but I guess it worked out for them.

Nah, that's a netdeck for aggressive murlocs. Though it is a somewhat new deck.
E:
Oh wow, I really underestimated the deck. 12-0 might be a first for me. And this is without the bonus win.
rewards are kinda... underwhelming
Look up Jambre's UK paladin. His was the first deck to start doing that. He finished rank 1 legend EU with it. It runs 2 rallying blade 2 truesilver
Only the arena quests do.
Dude you hate that card too? It totally should be nerfed!
Yup, I got one in 47 packs!
Andddd 12 wins. The quality of Arena play really dropped with the free run it seems!

I play that card, and it's totally fine. These cards and decks counter it:
X
Y
Z
The video makes me believe it, unless they had a lot of time just to create a fake video.
if it is something like summon a water elemental, it has a jaraxxus level of power while also having the freeze and lifesteal perks.
in that case the cost and the power level feel perfectly in line
Plus you wouldn't have to worry about waiting until you're lower in health before playing her.
Edit: I think this is the worst turn 3 play I've ever seen.

I used Innervate and then mouse slipped to put Mark of the Wild on my opponent's minion today.
Comes with new expansion, so hopefully in the first half of august.
Good! I thought it was ridiculous that I got 3 rouge quest legend, & I didn't even play quest rouge once.

Beating Freeze Mage in Wild with Renounce Warlock.
Feels pretty good.

Wait. Unless you play a lot and have extra dust to craft current meta.
We'll see what they plan to change balance wise before the big tournament at Blizzcon. That's usually when they do a balance change.
I think this time we are going to have a very small one. There is hardly any complaints about meta/specific cards this time around compared to before. There's no boogeyman Tunnel Trogg, Rockbiter, Tuskar Totemic, Execute etc. Patches and Jade Idol were too strong before but seems like Blizzard is fine with those cards just rotating out when the time comes for them.
I personally think Primordial Glyph has to be at the top of the list.

Justsaiyan drew the nuts. He had ramped up his jades to 5/5s by turn 4. Chakki also drew well and even had a chance for lethal on turn 4. Chakki took a safe life with all the trading and that lost him the game imo.
Jade druid isn't ever getting nerfed. It is doing exactly what it is designed to do.
I am if u want

Is anyone a rank 5 or higher secret mage player? Could you please glance at these three games and tell me if I misplayed something badly? I played them all in a row.

I'm using the standard deck and it's supposed to be top tier, so I'm disappointed I'm not getting easy wins with it. I'm using this guide for deck contents and mulligans: https://disguisedtoast.com/meta_decks/78-secrets-mage
Maybe it's just bad luck, and yet this sort of thing seems to happen consistently.

If primordial glyph couldn't discover primordial glyph, I'd be so much more ok with it.
