I'm not much of an Arena player, but I wanted to play some with the new format. Used HearthArena, went against five of their suggestions, a few of them feeling pretty obvious to be the better choice. I started off 0-2 thinking "I can't be THIS bad at Arena, can I?!" I mean, my deck felt great!
I then went 12 wins in a row for my first EVER 12 win arena draft! Now if I can just get 12-0...
Just to water down the endless stream of rogue decks that will inevitably rain down during the first days of opie-rogue meta, my token druid. Blessing of the Ancients works, it's relatively easy to have 4 minions on the board for it to be good tempo. Eccentric Scribe also helps with that. At least one Roar is prerequisite for a good token deck though, my two other druid decks were similar but didn't have Savage Roar and went 6 and 8 due to lack of closing push.
This is my first good Rise of Shadows arena deck and already 12-0 run. Its my 7th or 8th 12 wins run but its the very first time i made a 12-0 run. I am so excited about it and look forward to get some backup from You guys about this deck. In my opinion its very very op, as i didnt even put much effort into this run. The only problem i met was at 10-0 when i faced aggro mage and i left with 6 hp with no hope... but then i got totally saved by Mayor Noggerfogger xd and the game completely turned around. The rest of the games was pretty easy as i always took card advantage and made sick combos with lackeys what helped me to end games pretty fast. The key to victory in my opinion was to look for a blink fox in opening hand and i have to say that it was pretty common situation.
The next 12 wins with warlock. For me by far the best class with 10,6 avg over 5 runs. This deck was not even that great. But control warlock archetype definitely works right now.
12-1 with Priest deck. A well-rounded deck that has what most Arena decks lack: burst damage from combination of Auchenai + healing effect. The healing cards are also quite good without Auchenai so you don't have to hold on to them. One game has me swap to Shadowform from Kabal Lackey to bait the enemy Hunter to focus my face, not knowing that I already drew 2 Squashling.
Guys, if you are offered 30 EVIL Miscreant, take all of them. They are seriously god level for arena. And the list also includes 2 mistress of mixtures.

Here to punish the bad posts, so you don't have to.
Undefeated. Too many fan of knives, but with spell damage not so much. Loatheb won at least 3 games due to opponents not able to play their removal and patches.. well.
Thistle Tea and Pick Pocket stuck around quite a lot, they are in most games just too slow.

Early N'Zoth made draft decisions easy.
Probably the best deck I ever drafted.

Warlock is still strong in Arena.
Voidcaller is just insane tempo. And Darkshire Councilman can get out of control quickly with all those lackey 1-drops.
Lucky Alexstrasza self heal saved me in both games vs Hunter though.
Nope.

rogue... insane... only one close game with another rogue, 1 hp left in the end and he didn't find any good lackey from 1-5drop.
everyone else was destroyed in 6-8 turns.
12-2 with this insane control warlock deck. MVP were the 2 Abyssals, Doom and the 2 Travelling Healer.

12-0 and not even a single close game.
Rogue is so overpowered atm.
The next 12 wins with warlock. For me by far the best class with 10,6 avg over 5 runs. This deck was not even that great. But control warlock archetype definitely works right now.
