Earlier tonight I was watching merps streaming and he was talking some about the arena situation. He said he and adwcta don't think DK cards themselves are a problem any more than, for example, Deathwing, is a problem. Their only beef is that Jaina and Gul'dan have no place in the synergy pools.

He said something like "If you think you were dominating a game, and then your opponent played Jaina, and you ended up losing, the fact is you weren't dominating the game."

That's bullshit. Utter bullshit. Anyone who thinks Frost Lich Jaina isn't a completely insane arena card is just flat out wrong.

Sure...sure, sometimes when Jaina gets played the other person still wins no problem. But the circumstances under which Jaina takes a totally lost cause and completely flips it around are unacceptable. It's not like, "wow, that was a great turn for my opponent. With some additional luck in successive turns, this might be a problem" like you'd see with, say, deathwing.

It punishes absolutely unforeseeable circumstances. Like, you can have ten times the value in your deck, but if the numbers just don't work for you to avoid 1 health minions, you'll lose if you can't kill them within one or two turns. It's the single best carry card in the game.
