Wild arena thoughts: I'm really glad I don't have to think about a bunch of the cards that are wild only most of the time. Imp-losion, Imp Gang Boss, Muster for Battle, Sylvanas off of Deathrattle generators, etc.

I just lost two straight games in arena where my Violet Wurm got killed and a Spreading Plague immediately came down to lock the game out. Ouch.

had a few more runs

6-3 rogue
2-3 druid
7-3 Mage
9-3 Paladin

Like the paladin was not even that good of a deck imo. BUt I had a few synergies that helped me in the game (one game I had jinn and blackguard on the board at the same time and won because of that.) My last game was against a priest who had both dr boom AND onyxia. I mean, I'm pretty sure that's not really fair. I almost won too, like If I pulled out Anyfin a turn earlier I theoretically could have won.

I can usually only get to 5 or 6 on a good run. I suck at this game I guess

I've gotten to 10 wins twice though. I felt like a GOD in those runs. But no 12 yet....

The only time I've gotten to 12 wins was during Karazhan when arena was basically broken. I drafted a Warrior with 3 fool's banes and a mage with 3 flamestrikes, something like 6 firelands portals, and 2 blizzards. I have a picture on my desktop at home where my hand is just flamestrikes and fireland portals on turn 5.

I remember when we had that event where we had 1 free win every arena and I was averaging over 8 wins a run during that time. Was glorious

I average in the high 4s / low 5s now, used to be slightly higher but I either got worse or rusty from not playing as often. That being said i'd hope that is still a very healthy average given that 3 wins should be the average. I should say I play a lot more arena than standard too which obviously helps

There was a time not too long back where Arena was just a complete crapshoot regardless of skill level. I'm sure Maria will confirm that. It does seem better now at least

So like in arena.

I don't play it as much as I used to. I used to be like an "arena main" and averaged a little better than 7 wins. However, since like Kara I stopped really playing it because kara arena was just bad. I don't really enjoy the format much anymore and only really play when something like this (wildfest) happens.

I'm assuming my win rates are being inflated right now too a little bit because I'm assuming a lot of bad players have flooded arena too.

If you're a subpar player and want to improve your arena (if you are getting 3 wins or less). The issue is probably in your drafting process. You basically want to have a game plan for your deck by like card 10 at the latest. Some classes have more strict game plans that let them succeed. Like, hunter almost always needs to be aggressive and rogue also always needs to be tempo. At this stage too I'd use something like hearth arena to help you draft.

As for actual play. You need to know your outs and potential cards you need to play around (if possible to do so). Right now though... you should not really play around much in wild arena because the card pool is just too large to do so. Like when you are in dominant positions yeah play around a flame strike but dont do so if you cant win by doing that. Know not losing is also not winning in arena.

If you are getting like 5-6 wins normally or so I'd actually have to look at your games, but a lot of the times this is like overextending or, most commonly, overtrading is going to cause you to lose some games you should have won.

Of course, arena has a level of rng in the draft that is kind of annoying. I have gone 12-0 with decks I thought were terrible and 0-3 with decks that I thought were amazing.

Remember that every time you win, somebody else loses. You only get 3 losses, so conversely, the expectation for average number of wins should also be 3.

Obviously, talented players -- contrary to Ulti's claims, there is skill involved in Hearthstone -- will do better than 3 most of the time. However, nobody does much better than an average of 7.

However, what you're seeing that makes it feel like people do better than you is primarily two factors. One, people overrepresent their wins. Two, only people who are above the curve tend to talk about their performance.

I just got done playing someone who wasn't having any of my shit.

Had a murloc quest, so I threw 28 of them and two Divine Favors in a deck to try and finish it as quick as possible. Never attacked face for any reason, just trade and pass so my opponent would hopefully get what was going on. The first couple of games the opponent would just kill me as normal, either they didn't see what I was doing, didn't want to spend an extra minute or two to let me dump cards or more than likely just wanted to get their free win as fast as possible. Expected. But not this Mage. Oh no.

My board was full, I had nearly 30 damage on it already, and my opponent was passing every turn. Wouldn't even ping my 1 health murlocs. Wouldn't play any minions for me to trade with. Ended up playing Jaina and used Polymorph on two of his own Water Elementals just so I could only trade one minion in to each sheep, while I'm sitting there with a hand full or murlocs that I can't play. The last few turns of the game he spent pinging his own face and trolling me with emotes.

It was a strange game of chicken at that point, except my win condition was hitting fatigue and conceding and his was... I really don't know? I guess he was bored and knew he was eventually going to win so might as well have some fun with it. For everything he did, he wouldn't let himself fatigue so when his hand was full he eventually did something. It usually wasn't beneficial to me outside of a single Blizzard to clear most of my board.

Kind of wish he accepted my friend request. Game was pretty fun all things considered.

My record is 11 wins. I could have swore I hit 12 on one of the other servers once but my account says otherwise, so unless I randomly did it on one of the other accounts I dicked around on, which is entirely possible, I apparently dreamed it or something.

Averaged close to 6 in wild but that dipped to barely above 4 when standard came along.

This is my biggest bugaboo, I make so many unnecessary trades. I get too paranoid about the eventual punish that doesn't exist most of the time.

I hate the minions that cost 8+ quest. Rather play 1,000 murlocs, would probably be faster.

I'm not ashamed to drop an inconvenient quest. You do get one reset per day, after all.

I usually stick that one out, though. There are decks where there's a lot of 8+, or I can just play a deck I want to play that has at least 2 high-cost targets and stick around for a bit. I mean, that's like 5 games of control lock. (1 void lord and a n'zoth, np.)

I reroll all of my 40g quests, which generally doesn't give me any chances to reroll anything else based on preference.

From now on, once I get ready to hit rank 15 I'm going to intentionally lose a couple of games.

I often reroll 40g's but ultimately the most important thing is to reroll quests I am just not going to do.

Is 10-20g difference worth playing a class or archetype I'm going to hate? Is my time and enjoyment worth that little?

I gave it a solid shot, but I'm just not interested enough to sit down and grind for the hours it'll take to make up for lost progress. No legend again.

On the bright side, I'll be starting at rank 5 next month, which is a solid consolation prize.

I didn't finish the quest after a handful of games so I decided to reroll it and live with the 40g replacement, but it's my lucky day because I got the Challenge a Friend quest to replace it.

My enjoyment comes less from what deck I'm playing and more from what decks I'm forced to play against. I'd rather not play as Warrior or Druid but I can still have fun as long as I don't have to play against the same decks over and over. Played nine games so far today, seven Paladins, six of them apparently running the exact same 30 cards and the seventh running Doomsayer, which was a ballsy choice seeing as he pulled both of them with Call To Arms. I still lost that game but at least it was different and fun.

i'm trying combo dragon priest and this might be it. the first priest deck that i don't love.

I was a huge huge fan of silence priest in Ungoro and I've played a ton of Dragon Priest since BRM, but man, combining them feels bad. Either I can't activate my dragons or I have nothing to play all my combo cards on! It feels so useless! I spend a lot of time passing turns because none of my cards do anything

Maybe I'm playing it wrong somehow though

Just had a Druid use Recycle on a Bittertide Hydra in Arena when I had a Faceless Shambler on the board that had copied Bittertide Hydra's stats and he had like 4 minions on board he could have traded into the Hydra once Shambler was removed

Like he would have probably still lost but removing the Hydra instead of Shambler basically guaranteed he lost next turn

Went 6-0 and got mildly excited, even though it really wasn't that great not to be able to play around anything.

Proceeded to lose three straight to Ben Brode, one of which I probably would have lost anyway due to misplays and two of which I had in the friggin bag.

Probably won't do another Wild Arena. This shit ain't that fun.

I enjoy wild arena but my last 3 drafts have not only been garbage classes (Hunter, Warlock, Warrior), they have been garbage drafts too. Went 3-3 in the first 2 and am 1-1 with the Warrior now. I legit thought the Warlock one would get zero wins.

I think the worst part of wild arena is knowing all the busted cards that exist and then seeing none of them across multiple drafts whilst running into people with tons of them. Like I'd expect it at high wins but not at low wins.

I also need to actually put some effort into standard and get my rank up to like at least 10-15 to avoid the extra shitty stars they are adding at lower ranks

First time in quite a while today I lost a game due to a disconnect. Had a Kingsbane Rogue on the ropes, missed 8 damage from my board when the Rogue was at 9 because of a disconnect and came back to a Vanished board. I had three damage in hand for lethal to go with the board and he topdecked his buffed weapon exactly one turn later. Sour.

My local fireside is (hopefully) hosting a Tavern Hero Qualifier this Sunday. The format is best-of-3, bring 3 decks with one ban, and given that Battlefy is asking for deck codes, I think its might be open decklists.

Are there any off-meta decks that might be worth bringing? My default is probably just going to be cubelock/murloc paladin/tempo mage and expect to ban warlock every time, but Im wondering if it might be worth it to bring something like dragon priest/face hunter.
