I don't know if this happens often or not, but I just got a minion to 20/20.

I also just discovered the hand limit of 10, and burned about 8 cards doing it.

It happens a lot at lower MMRs with bad players fighting eachother.  At higher levels of play it's not very common because those decks are inconsistent and the combo can be interrupted by removal

Blizzard's secret formula for determining how good you are. High MMRs get matched together, low MMRs get matched together, but no one knows what their MMR is. (well presumably Blizzard staff members know their own, but the general public doesn't know). In dominion lingo, it's basically your level, but in hearthstone your level is secret.

Btw, if anyone wants to add me and play games, I'm happy to play! (Although keep in mind I'm new and have very few cards, so please don't play super-awesome decks I have no chance of beating.) My account is Bkirbit.

Not sure if this helps, but I think it's North America only because I'm in Canada and didn't have to do anything special to get the account.

It seems you can play arena for free every other day even if you're bad at it like me :P
I played a fun game today, my basic/common mage against a warlock with several epics and legendaries.

I didn't have the best opening hand, and I couldn't play a minion turn 3. Meanwhile, he was alarm-o-bot-ing into a molten giant.
I polymorphed, but then I still had no minions. Next turn he alarm-o-bots Ysera. I play my yeti or something. Somehow I stay relative alive and on turn 7 or 8 I flamestrike all of his minions and am in a winning position...but then he plays something that fills his board with 1/1s. I survive that and deal with a 7/6 minion, and I once again have control of the board.

Unfortunately, he still has another molten giant and a ragnaros, so I go down after a few more turns, but it was really exciting to try to hold on to the game when the cards were stacked against me. It was actually quite close until he summoned ragnaros. He was about to run out of cards so I think I would have one ewon won.

Personally, I rely on getting 60 gold quests for infinite arena. Hopefully, that's going to change as I get better, constructed isn't as fun.

As someone who has a reasonable amount of cards, you can make pretty good aggro decks with only commons and the occasional rare. The idea is that you kill them before they drop Ragnaros, or Sylvanas, or Tirion (who is completely bullshit btw, arghhh that card is annoying.)

Unfortunately, making a budget control deck is pretty hard without legendaries. Maybe you still do okay against aggro, but you lose to other control decks because they have better cards than you every step of the way.

Do you get more 60 gold quests after playing longer or something? I've gotten all 40 gold quests for my first week.

I'm pretty sure it's all luck, although I got a 100 gold quest for the first time recently.

Before this patch there was a way to decline quests for other quests.  Temporarily it is bugged so they removed it.  When it comes back using this lets you mainly do 60s

I got to level 10 in a couple of hours with the mage last night. (Think I only lost one game on the way, people dont really have a clue do they?)

Can't do arena yet until I have played all the different classes, which is a bit annoying as most of them seem to be Hunters! (Grrr, WOW Hunters!)

You can also unlock classes through practice mode, and choose the classes you play that way.

There's some bonus gold you can get for beating all of the practice decks too (100 for the basic ones and 100 more for the expert ones) if that interests you.

I just played the weirdest arena game ever, where my opponent lost from the -7 health fatigue on turn 7.

He had 3 Northshire Clerics in play. At first, I was sure I was going to lose as he was drawing 3 cards a turn at least. However, I was playing Shaman, and with my health regeneration totem, I was forcing him to draw 9 cards a turn at the end of each of my turns by just throwing my minions into his Clerics and making sure nothing died. He wasn't able to either kill his clerics or my totem, and was helpless as all his cards got drawn away.

I would have never expected something like that to happen in an arena game, and was shocked that it happened so quickly.

Heh, that's brilliant.  Even worse, most of the cards would have gotten trashed due to hand limits.

I guess his holy nova (if he had one) was forced out somehow because that would trash this strat pretty fast. Not that you get those good team wipe cards in arena drafts all the time. I'm playing a mage arena draft right now where I saw no flamestrikes, blizzards or cones of cold during the draft. I'm not expecting to go super far, but I'm 1-for-1 currently.

Still a really cool turn of events and definitely worth talking about.
