I think you made the right choice on #17, your previous 16 picks are all good value late game, not tu much tempo, a catching-up card for the rocketeer is good pick.
#20 also good with your shadow ascendant pick earlier, but I still would pick the bone drake and hope for the aoe ( which you got spirit lash+zealot combo), it's a gamble, but one dragon from the drake alone could win you games.
Yes. So unfair this shit is in there for priest lol ... u can pretty consistently get two Drakonid Operatives in your first two synergy picks and that is SUCH a huge deal.
Yes.
Yes.
Mby. i do love Big-Time Racketeer, so mby i would have gone for it, but the 2-drop is fine as well.
Yes.
Mby. This one is a bit tricky, i suppose it depends on what u want from the card ... tho Lightwarden is a pretty good 1-drop, if u go 1st or your opponent doesnt play anything ... u can go face, heal your opponent and have a 3/2 1-drop :) It can also become quite a nuisance in the later game if u can buff its attack multiple times ... tho Pint-Sized Summoner is fine as well.
Yes.
Yes. Tho Holy Smite was definitely an option, good direct dmg card is always nice to have.
Yes.
Yes.
I suppose. I drafted it in my last run as well, it performed ok ... nothing spectacular, but it can get tons of value ... just be sure u realize u can no longer heal yourself or your minions and play accordingly from that point (tho u can heal first than use it, if u have lots of free mana, to get that one last heal). Leatherclad Hogleader is still a decent card, tho it doesnt activate as often as it did in UnGoro meta, where pally/rogue/mage had 8+ cards pretty much entire game.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I suppose. I would have taken Power Word: Tentacles, i get u want some reach dmg, but so far your deck seems more like a value deck than a dmg pushing deck and tentacles definitely fit that archetype a lot better. Its no Spikeridged Steed, but close enough. Btw a spell for Medivh, if that could have been something that would tip over your decision :)
Yes.
Yes.
No. Bone Drake was a better pick, u cant rly utilize Imp Master as a priest that much (even with the heals), i mean its by no means a bad minion, but in this case, the dragon looks a lot better. Also u have 4 things to play on T3 already, so u dont need to force yourself to pick Imp Master here.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
Mby. I havent played with a Spirit Lash yet and havent seen it used much either ... i dont think its such a great card in general. I would have probably picked Darkshire Alchemist, its one of the stronger 5-drops in the game.
Mby. This one is actually quite hard. Obviously u want the card draw and i suppose u have enough early to justify not pickin Mistress of Mixtures, but mistress is just SO good. I think i would pick Northshire Cleric in the end as well, but damn, only if i could get both :)
Yes.
Yes.
I guess. Definitely not a bad pick, tho Scarlet Crusader was a very good option as well.
Yes. U have to feed those Stampeding Kodo's with something right ?:)
Sadly yes :) Obviously this card is crazy insane, if u could get the Obsidian Statue out of it ... but how often thats gonna happen :) I would recommend payin close attention to what deathrattle minions your opponent played, cause chances r, those r the ones u will actually get ... or your Vryghoul.
Not that bad draft, tho it kinda lacks the basics ... removals, aoes, some good synergies. Sad sad Medivh, the Guardian :D but hey, at leats u ll get Light's Justice, thats not that bad :) Decent curve, decent minions ... just dont lose board and u should be ok, u have a bunch of health and attack buff cards so that should be how u get to generate card advantage, by smart trades. One last small tip: Radiant Elemental + Holy Smite = Backstab, show them how rogues do it :)
I've picked up a lot of mixed opinions on this particular draft. Almost everyone agreed shadowform was wrong and leather-clad was better. A lot also thought hired gun was the pick on 15, which would coincidentally free me to pick bone drake over imp master. The idea was that SWC was adding too much weight to the deck and wouldn't help me much in the mid-end game stages. But the card itself is good enough by itself I feel it's not my weakest pick in this draft. Not going to complain about having to play SWC onto a board with even one minion on my side.
Some thought rocketeer was a fine pick, but I think more people agreed tentacles was better synergistically to the deck I had already drafted. I originally picked the rocketeer because I wanted a direct damage option I felt I was lacking up to this point. Apparently, it is better to draft towards my win conditions instead of trying to fill holes in my deck.
I do like the radiant elemental+holy smite combo, lol. I hope the chance to use it comes up during play.

I can see how Stormwind Champion could have been a little too heavy pick in there, since u already had 3 big minions, but i would still pick it myself ... the card is just so good, u can usually set up your board for next turn push and almost win the game on the spot, or it can help u trade etc etc. I do like Hired Gun as a card a lot, but in this case, i would not prioritize it (yet).

While that mighe be true, and as much as i like Sated Threshadon myself, Stormwind Champion is often times just a game winning card ... and if ur in a bad situation, playing treshadon instead of stormwind wouldnt rly achieve a whole lot anyway imho. So in this particular case, u go for win more card, that does provide good value quite consistently, rather than a safe pick as u call it.
I put in every card manually onto heartharena.com. I type in two of the cards into the site, make my pick in-game, then enter the last card on the site. If there was an app that automatically records my picks, publishes it online, and nothing else, I'd probably use that instead, but for now, I'm going with this janky setup, lol.

But it is classical example between a SAFE choice and high risk/high gain choice. YES threshadon is better if you have an empty board and opponent has lets say one minion. YES swc is terrible if you do not have a special situation and set up for it. If you are way behind on board then yea, neither threshadon or swc can do deathwing things. It is better statwise, and safer choice accordin to card text. I really don't think it is a close one if you are tryharding and aiming to win 12. If you wanna highroll and etc that is different. In that case you can easily justify almost every card that can do something cool in special situations.
The draft:
http://www.heartharena.com/arena-run/nov283
Pick 17:
I struggled with this pick. Tentacles is a strong buff, but in the end I really wanted the reach and potential removal for medium-sized cards.
Pick 20:
I really wanted the bone drake, but my fear of losing the curve in exchange won out in the end. The score here was closer than I thought it would be.
I think you made the right choice on #17, your previous 16 picks are all good value late game, not tu much tempo, a catching-up card for the rocketeer is good pick.
#20 also good with your shadow ascendant pick earlier, but I still would pick the bone drake and hope for the aoe ( which you got spirit lash+zealot combo), it's a gamble, but one dragon from the drake alone could win you games.

How you put your picks in to webpage? There is any softvare? Or you put every card manually?
