Great info! Thanks pal.

Prizes from another 9-2 (rogue). I know some people say 8 wins is better (more gold returns), but I quite like getting an extra pack and risking a gold card.

9 wins:

 45 g + 65 g + 125 g + 1 golden rare + 1 pack (235g)

9-1 with Rogue aggro.

205 gold, 1 pack, 2 gold rares

i think 9 wins is really good for its value if you're newer to the game like me, while you get less gold, the only thing that gold can be spent on is arena entries (because when you're not as good at the game because you're new like me, you want to save it all for arena, throwing 100 at a booster is insane, it costs you an arena entry).

at worst case situation, you pretty much always get the gold you payed to go in back, a booster, and a lot of arcane dust (gold cards disenchanted) OR some really nice gold cards. You can then use the dust to quickly craft out a lot of commons or save for some legendary you really like. i think a gold common disenchants for 50 dust, thats the same as disenchanting 10 normal commons, so its a lot better value fi you get a bad gold one, though im kind of a hoarder and getting one or two gold cards is really cool to me. Though i think i'd value two booster packs more at this point, especially since that 200 gold.

Though i can very much see why it would make people upset if y ou already have so many commons and stuff, to be getting the useless two boosters and gold cards when you just want more gold, I think the fact that i heard they are upping arena wins to 12 will help out a LOT

 

8 wins:

 95 g + 80 g + 70 g + 40 arc + 1 pack (245g)

9-2 gave me 215g (was 125, 45 and 45) and 2 packs

Is my math and thinking correct on this?  It looks much better in Excel.

Edit: Oh boy - I better take this to work and clean it up!
