Trump plays the 24 Legendaries deck: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqCJ-19K5Pc&hd=1
I think it's the best class in Arena by a mile.

Who paid you to grab Dr. Pavel?
I had by far the most epic game I've played earlier. Went all the way to the end against a priest in draft mode, only my third time drafting. Shadowplayed the last 5 minutes if anyone cares. Also I didn't know it took all audio to prepare for some Iron Maiden.

Totemic power. The whole game was awesome though. This shit is mad addictive.

The winner's 3 decks consisted of 2, 2, and 1 legendaries. Hardly legendaries everywhere.
Yep, legendaries are not a sure way to win.
maybe not, but you pretty much need certain legendaries in a slow deck like priest or druid
I don't have a single legendary in my pretty successful Priest deck.
I'm doing fine with my priest deck (lvl 35) until I run into other priest or druid decks with Hogger, Sylvana, Ragnaros, Ysara and so on. I lack a late game finisher besides MC, and the 6/6 minion just doesn't cut

Yeah but, its a Priest deck. Anything will be pretty successful.
When did Kripp throw the game? Only thing I noticed was not using the Ooze, then he got walloped for about 20 damage out of nowhere with the charge guys, can't really call that a "mistake".

are you joking? Of course that was a mistake.
Not using the Ooze there was absurdly greedy.
Playing normal mode is fucking annoying.
All I see are Mages with spell only decks, full controls Priest and bullshit Hunters with Hounds combo. Especially Hunters are frequent and annoying, game looks exactly the same i play with them and You cant do nothing, except to pray that they get screw by RNG.
There is no way to play experimental and fun decks there and have fun.

Well between the other 2 cards I had an option of picking, that was the best.How many better cards could have won you it instead?

I really enjoy this game, however if you're not planning to pay for card packs it's a really long grind to get cards. 3 wins gets you 10 coins and it costs 100 coins to get one card pack which contains 5 cards. So essentially 30 wins for 5 cards.
Last card game I played was YuGiOh so I'm a bit hesitant dropping down money for a game I don't know is going to have a decent lifetime or not. But so far I'm really enjoying myself.

With already a million closed beta players, I wouldn't worry too much about that.
Welcome to most TCG's, when the game goes live i expect to see a bit more variation but in most TCG's there is a current meta game in which you will find a few decks that almost everybody plays. I mean when you look at MTG or something most tourneys will consist of like 8 different decks (and maybe a few rogue decks).
Is this guy trying to get me to quit?
Somehow, it has been his turn for 5 minutes now. He has a card selected, but has yet to play it. He is going to lose next turn and I'm sure this is his way of getting a cheap win.
EDIT: Seems it's a well known bug involving a brewmaster card. Well, I'm not turning my client off!

Daily quests give you way more gold. If you do those you can easily get a pack every two days.
Having lethal in your hand and not realizing it (reck) is throwing the game. Sure kripp was greedy in holding his ooze, he was hoping to use it on either a weapon with more swings left or a better weapon. But a monumental mistake that blew the match? I don't think so, artosis had the RNG gods in his favor for sure.
If Reckful plays it, he wins, no? He just needed 1 more turn. At that stage of the game a "better option" isn't going to exist.
Oh I agree, reckful had the match won, pyro and frostbolt in his hand with a kobold out.
Blah, Krip I meant. (I'm tired.) He needed the Slime on the field to give himself enough damage on board to threaten lethal in 2 turns and take -3 damage off the field for the Warrior deck. It's effectively a drain life for 3 at that point and by not playing it, he left himself in a situation where he couldn't get enough damage through.
Ah yeah, kripp makes more sense there lol. I just rewatched the match and yeah if he plays the ooze he'll have 16 dmg the next turn (if artosis doesn't take out a creature) with that pyro in his hand. Is a pretty crazy match to watch again, kripp got cocky. Wasn't as bad as reckful's misplay (having lethal), but yeah kripp could have threatened lethal.
I have noticed a lot more mage stalls decks in play mode today, isn't a lot of fun to play against. One mage played at least 8 secrets on me, other just froze me for about 4 straight turns... Guess people watched the streams lol.
Reckful really showed what the deck is truly capable of. I didn't "get" Ice block/armor until he used them.
Mage is incredibly difficult to play well though since it's a razor's edge burn deck.

The flight plan I just filed with the agency list me, my men, Dr. Pavel here. But only one of you!
Jesus christ this mage deck I just drafted is a fucking abomination. Didn't get a single hero-targettable nuke. No fireball, pyroblast, just a few minions sweeper.
Already 0 and 2. Looks like I'm sticking with constructed.

drop me some knowledge bombs, kirbs!
I officially just stop playing arena now. I know what the fuck I'm doing, I have played hundreds of games, I can have a near perfect deck yet I run into the same bullshit deck twice or my opponent happens to draw exactly the cards he needs to whop my ass. I have like a 80% win rate in ranked, fuck this
.........
I'm pretty sure I have a 75-80% win rate in Arena. It's not random.

RNG luck is like 90% part of this particular CCG.
I rage tons, but I'll never quit because it's still fun.

When my opponent starts spamming those tanks creatures my mage deck cant do a damn thing.
Generally you have to assume the worst case scenario or else you'll just wind up overextending. Instead of going "I hope he doesnt topdeck flamestrike" you have to think "what is my plan after he plays flamestrike?".
Considering the speed of games in Arena, its really not a matter of "if" but "when".
