    Bit weak on the 3-drops, but that's a deck that can go very far.

    Yeah, not many choices for threes. Sometimes it's frustrating, trying to work a proper mana curve into a deck with RNG dictating. :C

    My plan: Stall until my overpowered bullshit cards can bring it home for me.

    I'm new at this. Should I level up the heroes on practice mode or is it just a waste of time?

    Levels don't matter past the point where you get all the basic cards for each class. Unless you want shiny gold ones.

    Definitely level all of them to level 10, because most of the basic class cards you get from leveling 1-10 are pretty awesome. After that, all the rewards are cosmetic.

    I wouldn't bother with practice mode past the basic quests (beat all the AIs). Once you do that, you may as well start playing vs people because you get gold for every 3 wins.

    You should level up the heroes until level 10 with practice mode because there are 4 quests that you get rewarded by completing the AI matches.

    1. Level Up: Get any class to level 10, get 1 card pack.

    2. Ready to Go!: Unlock every Hero. Receive 100 Gold.

    3. Crushed Them All! Defeat every Expert AI Hero. Receive 100 Gold.

    4. Got the Basics! Collect every card in the Basic Set. Receive 100 Gold.

    So I got Deathwing'd in arena today. Twice. In two different arena runs. I feel like the 2nd one was punishment for being retarded though. Game 1 of the arena, I missed lethal because I was playing too fast, and died to a King Krush the guy pulled off a Webspinner. Then game 2 I got Deathwing'd. Most irritating 0-2 start I've ever had.

    Mini-patch:

    Probably for the better. I didn't think Warrior was hard (somewhat more uphill than most other class challenges, yes, but not hard), but the Paladin one was too specific.

    How'd the arena go, Rehio?

    Rip Hunter:

    Leeroy is now 5 mana. At least you still got chicken.

    Buzzard is now 5 mana 3/2.

    Struggling in arena, only had the game for a couple of weeks, and can recognize the mistakes I'm making, but can't seem to get above three wins. Favorite so far are mage, then druid then shaman.

    Do you use the ArenaValue program? I find that helps a bit with drafting if I'm just trying to throw together a deck.

    If you have some free time then you watch Trump's arena vids on youtube.

    Since you said that mage, druid and shaman are your early favorite classes than I will link to those playlists directly.

    Mage, Druid, Shaman.

    Also Trump has several tier lists for each classes along with tier lists for neutral cards.

    Thanks, just went 0-3 with druid, the deck didn't have any real focus, but it was one where i got no swipes, no spell damage cards, no big real minions, the best i had to choose from was 3 druid of the claw minion wise. My 2 0-3s have both been with druid, where I had too many small minions, and a bad late game.
    Did a quick Google, is the arena value an app?

    http://www.arenavalue.com/ it has a downloadable version that works better in that it can scan the cards up for pick so you dont have to add them individually.

    I posted this a way back in the thread. It's a deck that I went 12-1 with. It's pretty much ideal in terms of arena decks. It's important to keep your overall deck in mind as you draft.

    A good curve with 2 drops and value minions, card draw (Arcane Intellect, 3 Drakes, Cult Master), and removal (2 Frostbolts, 2 Fireballs, 2 Flamestrikes).

    So I have played 4 arenas using arena value, got 4,3,2 and 6, so really happy with it. Made a few mistakes which pissed me off, as on my 6-3 run I was 4-0 up then lost 2 in a row due to stupid mistakes. All 4 were with druid.
    My next arena is between warrior, priest or rouge, which is best?
