NGL those are some pretty weird cards to hate right now.

In Arena, both Arbor Up and Grand Finale basically just end the game when they are played. They both have played winrates over 70%. Right now the only 2 cards in all of Arena that have a higher played winrate are the 'I am playing this card specifically because it wins the game this turn' duo of Pyroblast and Bloodlust. The biggest problem, which is unfortunately quite common in Arena these days, is that they are in way too many decks. Grand Finale is in nearly 19% of Mage decks and Arbor Up is in nearly 25% of Druid decks. Getting that 1/4 chance at Arbor Up is basically the difference between a 3 win Druid and a 7+ win Druid. Grand Finale, if it isn't incredibly late in a draft with no elementals, is a near instant-pick over every single legendary in the game. Hysteria is just an RNG fiesta that I have seen be a 3-mana destroy 14 mana worth of your opponent's board. Mind control is annoying and can win the game on the spot, but it's also a 10 mana card. Hysteria can let you go from an empty board against an opponent with board control to removing your opponent's board and also developing a 7 drop.
