Anyone ever seen this before? I had two Spellslingers in my arena deck, but they were listed separately in my decklist. http://imgur.com/dR6HSTP

Relatedly... I played both Spellslingers on consecutive turns in my 3rd loss. I got Shield Slam and Mass Dispel. My opponent got Unstable Portal and Shadow Word: Pain; the Unstable Portal gave him a Piloted Sky Golem.

Seems to happen all the time now.

This is Spellslinger rather than Arena related, but in the JAB/Trump match in yesterday's American championship Trump made the call not to hero power as a Druid at 7 health against a Tempo Mage in top deck mode. They drew Spellslinger->Tracking->Fireball.

How much does slinger cost? Was he able to ping+fireball for lethal?

Aldo, if you have the mana, why would you ever not hero power? At worst, it's a free armor.

Presumably he did not have the mana.

Slinger costs $3.

Spellslinger is 3, so it was exact lethal.

(7:41) Trump is frozen, so the whole point of the hero power would have been to get outside Fireball range. The Mage has 26 health, so he makes the reasonable decision to build a board with Azure Drake and Harrison Jones. He's just very unlucky with how it turns out.

That game and the previous one (Tempo Mage/Control Paladin) are both excellent and well worth a watch.

No, he's really into it, didn't you know?

Is it just me, or does no one know how to use Fencing Coach correctly?

Here's what I've seen literally every time I've seen Fencing Coach used against me (which is around 5 times):

Opponent plays Fencing Coach
Opponent uses Hero Power
Opponent does whatever else they were going to do their turn.
Opponent ends with at least 2 mana left over.

I'm guessing the explanation is P(knows how to maximize Fenching Coach value | actually picks Fencing Coach in arena) is really small.

It wasn't exact lethal, he had 10 mana and didn't need to Fireblast thanks to a Flamewaker proc (though he hadn't even attacked with Flamewaker yet.

Refusing to trade his BGH for the Flamewaker seemed like a gross misplay to me. With Flamewaker alive, one Frostbolt or Arcane Missiles with a face proc leaves him sweating about both Fireball and smaller burn spells for the rest of the game

If you're leaving the Flamewaker alive, then obviously you don't hero power, because it doesn't actually bring you out of range of like, literally anything. If you're gonna go full ogre, go full ogre.

The dream:

So I'm on my third arena in a week, after not arena-ing for months, because I suck at arena.

I used Hearth Arena for this draft and so far I'm 1-0!

Is there a way to link my deck from HA?

My average is 6.2, and hearth arena helps a lot for drafting.

There is a link to share, but I think just copy pasting the site address works too.

Jorbles · « **Reply #964 on:** October 16, 2015, 01:26:04 pm »

If you go to a run you can just copy the link from the address bar. For example:

http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/4xlq42

They had basically said they were unlikely to do this, and I was sad, so... Now I am very excited.

At first glance it looks very weak. Firstly Priest isn't that great in arena. Secondly you don't have enough early game drops. I'm talking about decent 3/2 or 2/3 minions. Micro Machine is ok if you play it before you opponent plays anything, or if he plays a 3/2, but otherwise not a good enough 2 drop. Northshire I consider to not be a 1 drop, as it impacts almost nothing. Circle of Healing is very weak in arena. You only have three 4 drops, one of which is weak. Granted if you make it to the late game this deck kicks ass. 3 temple enforcers!

ashersky · « **Reply #970 on:** October 17, 2015, 05:55:54 am »

It was definitely weak. I followed the advice on 29 picks, too.

Dunno, I suck at arena.

Yeah, it's some new visual bug. Happened with me and King's Elekk.

It's possible you misplayed. But I did go over you choices. There are a few where I disagree with Heartharena, but you were offered bad cards for a lot of the draft. So don't be too hard on yourself

But remeber with Priest, muligan hard for early drops. as soon as you're behind you'll probably lose, so be sure to always be ahead on board till the late game.

popsofctown · « **Reply #973 on:** October 17, 2015, 03:22:59 pm »

About to go 1-3 because I didn't take a single turn 3 playable 3 drop.

Friends don't let friends skip 3 drops

popsofctown · « **Reply #974 on:** October 17, 2015, 03:38:22 pm »

Turn 7 he goes Murloc Knight, inspiring a Murloc Knight

Turn 8 he goes Murloc Knight, inspiring a Murloc Knight

Then my knife juggler fails a 75% throw.

Like I just can't even deal.
