    So I was wondering if Golden Scarab is better for one class or the other. Just got a draft option with Paladin, this is the complete list of Paladin class cards you can get (you can also get neutrals, but class cards are favored):

    Blessing of Kings Card Image Consecration Card Image Hammer of Wrath Card Image Truesilver Champion Card Image Equality Card Image Keeper of Uldaman Card Image Lightfused Stegodon Card Image Spirit of the Tiger Card Image Zandalari Templar Card Image Ancestral Guardian

    There's only 2 bad (conditional) cards in there, and at least 4 awesome ones. Feels very auto-include to me.

    5 dragons and 4 cards that require a dragon on hand. A handful of mechs and 3 magnetics. Also, I feel that Zul'jin and Emeriss are hard to combine. Too many conditional combos that make me think this deck needs choices rather than options.

    You should really get rid of the mechs or the spell synergies to get more consistency in this deck.

    Imagine getting Scavenging Hyena from a random effect.

    Better or worse than Lifedrinker?

    This could be good with Floop's Glorious Gloop.

    If you target a friendly, will they be summoned on the opponent's side? Then it could really mess up revive priest.

    This is in Wild, right? Aren't there like a shit ton of broken/otk combos?

    Is it possible to reliably draw Vargoth every time? Because that's when the word 'broken' comes in.

    See this screenshot:

    I can't scroll further down, there is no way to access Forum>Members or the Pack Giveaway section, they remain below the fold. If I click Forums again in an attempt to to collapse the menu item, instead it takes me to the forum page.

    I think there are some solutions, including:

    • Allow scrolling further down
    • Allow collapsing menu items
    • Disallow expanding menu items (on mobile)

    [Hearthstone Card (SI-7 Infiltrator) Not Found] is going to end secrets, just like Kezan Mystic used to.

    Playing budget murloc shaman in wild, when in wild it has access to awesome murloc legendaries.

    I know the goal here is winning on a budget. But it won't be as fun without ol' murk eye.

    I mostly know the value of each individual card and how they could interact together, but am completely clueless on how many of each type of card should go into a deck, or how to fill a mana curve. For me, HearthArena really helps here. I usually don't ignore any draft advice when it says I "really need an x drop".

    That is also one of the things that becomes not entirely accurate with time. It heavilly depends on the meta shaped by the current card pool and then the class you are playing. Some classes in the past literally didnt need any 2-drops for example, when control RNGfiesta was the way to play. HA usually tries to push you towards midrange or tempo deck, which is fine, but you need to assess your own situation and know what archetypes are working for any given class at the moment and decide if it is a right direction to go or not.

    Again, for unexperienced arena player, HA is a really amazing tool to help them get more wins fast and to get better, but you shouldnt religiously follow its advice once you get some experience ;-) Not saying HA cant be right most of the time, but you should think of why it appears to be important for your deck to pick the suggested card, not just pick it cause the app said so :)

     I think it's a real hassle to enter everything in HA (I play mobile only) so I use it only when I need to re-establish my bearings. Since the rotation I really need it.

    Long story short, if you haven't used HA you probably should, even if only to check what all the other people are using.

    The Discover mechanic is really strong in Arena, because the appearance rate of discovered cards is not affected by the arena bucket system. Class card appearance rates are actually increased compared to neutral cards, just like in constructed (though of course the latter doesn't matter for Messenger Raven).

    It was the same last year with Stonehill Defender in Paladin decks, it had crazy odds of getting a legendary because Paladin had Sunkeeper Tarim and Tirion Fordring in addition to The Lich King.

     

    EDIT: as for the Kalecgos drop rate going down for more wins, this might be because it's not a really good pick vs aggro and there's a lot of aggro in upper Arena. Better to choose something that helps you stay on curve.

    It is currently not possible to select the current Arena rotation sets without knowing which expansions are in Arena. It would be nice if you could shortlist this filter somehow.

    This can help when trying to determine which cards can be discovered, like with Arcane Dynamo.

    Also I don't see a filter for mechanics or for card text/body. Will those be added?

    Good! Because right now, trying to play control decks in arena is just sad...

    Not sure if that is going to change. Had 2 good runs since the patch, aggro druid and aggro warrior. Most games ended under 10 turns. Only mage opponents seemed able to extend past turn 10.

    I noticed a table on the forums that was completely unreadable on mobile. It was 6 columns wide, and for some reason it would set the width of the table to 100% and put all the words vertically.

    Tables are not great on mobile, we need some serious love for them. Apologies!

    Hey at least the table is readable. I don't mind scrolling sideways.
