Also: Is the arena INCREDIBLY hard for anyone else? I have tried it three times now, and am 0/9. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

My best arena so far has been 9 wins, with a paladin deck. Since you don't know what your deck will be totally comprised of as you choose the cards.. makes it difficult. You need to make each trade (of card for card, or minion for minion) really count. Depending on the class, I'd say good advice is to keep cards in your hand. Just because you can play it, doesn't mean you should. Lure your opponent into playing their cards, then responding. I think that's the best advice I can give. And that advice doesn't work if you're trying a zerg deck, because you do want to play your cards asap.


I wanted to share my most recent deck idea. Objectively it is to burn cards in opponents hand, or from the board into their hand, and burn those. Really just wanted to see if it would work, and so far its got about an 80% win rate. Not sure how! Here goes

Keep board control until you can start combos. If you have a murloc tidecaller, play it early in tandum with backstabs, evicerates and your melee weapon. If they get some crazy high cost creature you can't deal with, sap it. On turn 3, if you have King Mukla, hook them up with 2 bananas. Usually worst case scenario, they buff a creature just enough to be able to kill Mukla.

Once you get to around turn 4 or 5, there are two routes to go. If they have a lot of cards in their hand already, and you have coldlight oracle, fill their hand up. Shadow stepping the oracle makes it 1 mana to replay, and is great if you can do it in conjunction with questing adventurer and youthful brewmaster. Even replaying the 2/1 charge murloc can get crazy if you do it continuously.

If opponent has a full board, vanish them all back. If you have Mukla, and oracles, this is where they start losing cards. Over time, they've probably played the lower ones they could, and are often forced to play 1-2 high mana cost cards a turn. Keep filling up their hand.

I have no idea why it works as well as it does, but I thought I'd share it here. It's my first real deck combo I haven't seen done elsewhere.
