is 12 wins in Arena possible? need imba cards like Consecration x4 + Sword of Justice x4 ?
It's very much possible but very difficult. I've done it twice. It relies on you drafting a really good deck but it also depends who you are matched up against especially if you reach 7 wins.
Arena is all about getting the best value out of each card and tempo. Combos aren't reliable in Arena so drafting towards a particular playstyle can end badly. So the most important thing is to pick good value minions and pay attention to your mana curve. Turns 2-3-4 will pretty much determine the match outcome most of the time.
Vivafringe's guide is really good. It helped me alot when I first started doing Arena. Even if there is luck involved in drafting, I tend to believe there is a level of skill involved as well. That's why the best Arena players can average above 70% win rate. Watching good Arena streamers like Trump, Kripp, Hafu, etc can be a good way to learn as well.
Mages are powerful in Arena because Fireball, Polymorph, Flamestrike are basic cards. Being able to draft more than 2 of each is a big deal.
But since the Freeze and Pyroblast nerfs they've fallen behind other classes in constructed. Problem with mage is other than Water Elemental and possibly Mana Wyrm, the other class minions are kinda underwhelming. Most mages run Trump's deck in the current meta now...and it's an ok deck...wins by trading efficiently

I find that rag and alexstrasza have a bigger impact than ysera.
Rag has immediate impact. Ysera is comparable in power but her impact is more gradual. If Ysera lives for 3 turns you basically win (provided you have enough health of course). And she's less susceptible to removal like BGH.
verx plz kindly submit your results by tonight before 12 am thx
lost 2-0
Anyone else find it frustrating to play against hunters? UTH is like the most op card in the game right now. Having just 3 minions on board and I get Leeroy UTH combo'd...super annoying
UTH is fine but leroy is the main problem , I think 7 out of 10 deck has leroy in it matter wat class :/
Leeroy synergises so well with UTH that it makes it even more op in a Hunter deck. But UTH to me is very much the problem. It's almost impossible to play around it sometimes.
reynad explains it very well:
Don't be surprised if you run into more of this hunter deck now...reynad has popularised alot of meta defining decks recently like the zoo warlock.
