That’s cool, I didn’t know Redemption brought back divine shield.
redemption also brings back noble sacrifice.
Started out hot with this warrior Arena. 3-0. Then I’ve gone 1-2 after. That first lost was because of a misplay. I got a little sloppy in my play trying to close the guy out and I paid for it. The second loss was because of a HORRIBLE mulligan.
I have the good giant too! The one that costs less for the amount of life you’ve lost. Never seen it!
Oh yeah, one more Redemption party trick: If your Sylvanas survives the turn that you play her, drop Redemption and then kill her ass off. Double MC is usually pretty sweet.
Yeah works wonders with any Deathrattle I’d add her or Cairn to the deck for sure.
Managed to get a pyroblast from a pack. Just my luck.
So with all the extra golden epics + disenchanting that I managed to get most of the core class rare/epics from the druid line up. Just missing a ancient of war.
Thalnos + all those spells especially swipe is so much fun.
I’m permanently stuck in that 3-5 win range. I’ve plateaued. I must not be seeing plays correctly. When you guys win 9-11 games are you getting bomb epics and legendaries or are you doing it on one or two solid rares and precise common/uncommon drafting?
I WANT to think that my problem is the lack of bomb cards–but that would mean that I think of myself as already seeing the game and playing the game at the highest levels (which I don’t think I do).
I get that sometimes you loose regardless of making the best move, but I feel like there are a lot of people out there claiming 80% win rates and I definitely don’t think that I am one of those people. I feel that I’m more like 60.
Just pick hunter and your wins automatically climb to 7+
Spoiler
I’m fairly sure it can get crazier too, infact this hunter deck is ghetto as hell. There’s only 1 UtH but 4 fucking buzzards.
Also the savannah lion thing that spawns 2 2/2 hyenas isnt shown in that image but god damn. There were so many times where killing that lion would give me insane card draw due to having a buzzard or 2 in every fucking hand…
drawing like… 10 CARDS.
So yeah pick a top tier draft hunter.
Also I had to do some scumbag tactics when trying not to make it obvious that im going to UtH them the next turn by doing nothing. Like hitting Steady shot at 4 mana, slight delay -> oops emote -> slight delay -> look over cards frantically -> oops emote -> end turn.
Hilariously it worked and they threw down 2 minions for a total of 4 and I proceeded to draw like 4 cards, clear board and buff the hyena to oblivion.
There were moments that I was drawing so much cards that I was going from a near empty hand to burning cards from exceeding the max hand.
Well, I wouldn’t say that drafting Hunter is auto-win, but UtH is auto-win. I went 7-3 in my latest Hunter draft, and every game I won, I won because of Buzzard + UtH.
Oh yeah, and I wouldn’t say that I’m particularly OMG amazing at draft, since I average 5-6 wins.
I used to average around 5-6 as well, I started picking even more towards getting a good mana curve instead of picking the ‘best’ card out of the three and I’m doing around 7 now.
Or you get lucky like me and draft 0 buzzards/Uth/bows/beast and go 0-3 with hunter and feel bad 
edit: Went 10-3, lost to a Warrior twice, he pulled the same constructed like combo on me turn 3-5 both times and then a Paladin with double Consecration and Winsilver Champions pre-8 mana. PJSalt.
Golden Priestess of Elune as reward!
Top two in arena are Rogue and Mage imo. Rogue is all about momentum and arena is all about momentum as well no cheap tricks or combos. Backstab deadly poison scrubs SI Agents too much value in those class cards. Mage’s hero ability is just plain broken so even with pyro nerf just keep flamestriking and fireballing to victory. Oh and if you happen to get 2 mana worms the value on mirror image and arcane missles sky rockets because you could get an auto win hand.
Druid is a bit better than Rogue in my opinion, not by far though. Paladin and Mage (and maybe priest) are the most consistent as well.
Nah druid needs 2 rares to be solid rogue needs 0 you can’t expect to get class rares. Druid wants keeper and starfall. Swipe is amazing though I will agree druid is probably 3rd but I have gotten really solid druid decks and had trouble against strong mages. With a solid rogue deck of just base class cards 3 deadlys 2 backstabs 2 scrubs assassinate assassins blade i went 12-0 so free. I will add a lot of it is luck but this hasn’t happened just once in either occasion. The most consistent deck in constructed and arena imo is rogue because so many of there cards do similar things and it is really hard to out pace.
I get my stats from the value town youtube cast since I didn’t sign up for hearthstats but the last time they listed it rogue was #1 win rate in arena and mage was #2 then pally and druid a little ways off. Mage is the only one that saw a big change out of those.

Get in there boys! Add me!
Oh yeah, you can add me kimterran#1218
I agree completely. I love druid but it needs very specific cards to be viable and go the distance.
More free wins in arena. Quick queue up before everyone else catches on/the influx of new players cut down.
