I plan on playing through an arena run tomorrow at 6:50am EST and streaming it. Seeing as how my average wins per arena are at 3 right now, that should go pretty quickly...I might continue if I have time (I'd like to stream for 90 minutes) by playing some ranked with my Priest Deck that I normally ladder with. I could also be convinced to cobble together a veeerrrry basic shaman deck as I had a lot of fun with that class in a recent Arena. Or my Hunter Deck which I can't tell if I enjoy playing.
If anybody can watch and has a preference for what ranked deck I should play, let me know.

I clicked to a random part of the video and so I can't offer any other comments, but your play at 36:30 here (
http://www.twitch.tv/shraeye/b/538054804) is incorrect. Coining out a Cold Blood onto that Murloc is a massive waste. It doesn't "do anything" that turn. In general I wait to use Cold Blood and cards like it until it meaningfully affects the board (for example, I have a Argent Squire, he puts out a Yeti, I Cold Blood my 1/1 into a 5/1 and let it trade with a 4/5 for an AMAZING trade). Turning a 1/2 into a 5/2 without even it attacking this turn is bad for several reasons:
1. It lets him silence you or remove your buffs;
2. It lets him play the optimal response, which is a 2/1 (even worse, a 2/1 with Charge aka Bluegill). Now he's used one card to take out your three cards, and you two are in equal position.
3. You might end up wasting the effect of the card. Suppose he plays the most common 2drop, some generic 3/2. Either you trade or he trades, but regardless, you've used Coin, Murloc, and Cold Blood to take it out, when you could have just used Murloc + hero power. Or even something like Novice Engineer, which your Murloc could have taken out by itself.
4. You waste the Coin, which could have allowed you to make a big board swing later.
5. You waste ability later to smooth out your mana. Every odd-mana turn requires you to play an odd-mana card. Those turns frequently end up with 1 mana wasted because even-mana creatures are better than odd-mana creatures. Cold Blood is the perfect way to fill in that mana.
6. You're using a very strong card on a very weak creature.
Of course, you're in the 0-1 bracket so you run into someone who plays literally the worst possible card into your 5/2 Murloc, so it didn't end up being a problem, but plays like those can cost you games.
Your play at 39:00 is also incorrect. Just play the 5/4. WTF is the 2/2 going to do to you? Maybe later he plays an Argent Commander -- now you want to Bluegill that. Or Shiv it, or whatever.
