Ground a ton of gold, spent rougly 2 hours a day to hit the 100 gold cap
Sure, the brawl was dominated by three decks, face mage, miracle pally and miracle druid, and left pretty much no room for anything else, games most often ended on either turn one or two. But that was the thing, games were incredibly fast, gold gain was massive for such small effort.
What did you use? I went the face mage route. Mulligan hard for illusionist when going second (turn 2 coin + huge burst), mulligan hard for biggest burst cards if going first. Always tried to get a firelands portal to toss the first turn, lol'd and burst my own face if i happened to spawn a bomb squad xD Rinse and repeat. Was easier on the hand than trying to draw your entire deck each turn.
All in all, very good vibes! Got a lot of friend requests from hot-headed people that obviously didn't like having to start the game at 3 health or forgot to attack with their patches just to watch it and their dreams explode on my turn. Ah them sweet tears. 10/10, would play again.
OP: "can you idiots stop playing non meta decks???? its fucking annoying"
me: "what? did you just start playing this season? Welcome to control warrior."
OP: "STFU that spell not in the meta also"
me: "look up fibonnacci's list then – its just Sleep with the Fishes. Deal with it."
Such noobs -.-
Wait, did someone seriously say ''Can you stop playing non-meta decks?''? I thought non-meta decks only got praise?
Well, some noob just wants me to be playing Pirate warrior/ jade druid/ reno mage and has never heard of how powerful the control warrior was back in the day.
Happened this morning, got my first 12 wins in MSG arena. I had already gone 11 wins twice, so yes, 3rd time's the charm. Also, while I was 11-1 and faced a priest. He used Museum Curator to discover The Skeleton Knight. That Knight won ALL jousts (at least 7 of them). Gotta say, if I am to get wrecked by RNG, at least it's through the funniest way possible (yes, I lost that game).
Faced down a pirate warrior with my wild murloc paladin. (Not OTK murlocs, either. Full murlocs) Managed to snag almost equal tempo on turn one, and with a truesilver, finja, and forbidden healing turns 4-6, he conceded. That was a good match.

So, when a warrior uses Dead Man's Hand, what does that actually mean in terms of flavor? Is he the dead man? Does he cut off his own hand? Is that why he has Tentacles for Arms? Does he think that tentacles are actually as good as arms?
These reasons and more are why I think warriors are more mysterious than people give them credit for.
Recently had a funny renounce lock game in ladder where I was able to swipe my opponent's board and drop 3 volcanic lumberers for 0 mana each, 0 mana 7/8's, let the memes live xD
My most recent game was just exhilarating. I was drawing cards with a gadgetzan acutioneer and free secrets, which lets me draw into my Tracking, which lets me select my 2nd copy of Lock and Load which draws me a card and gives me more cards following while i draw my whole deck. If that made no sense or if you are curious, here is the replay
You're playing Hunter against a druid, and on Turn 8 you empty your hand of all but CotW and SMOrc Malfurion down to 4 life, setting up lethal with CotW next turn... only to discover you're playing against the rare and elusive RENO Druid (wtf?)... and then 5 turns later watching as your opponent attacks your hero with his face... at 2 life... into Explosive Trap.
Seriously, counting Reno, Feral Rage, and Healing Touch, it took 72 damage to finally kill him. The funniest part was the BM emotes my opponent did after playing Reno. He even had Rag on the board for the last 3 turns. Good times. :+D

Old school WoW Mage motto: if you don't end the run with the most damage dealt AND the most deaths, you're not trying hard enough.
I played malygos shaman against jade shaman on wild. I had all of the burst in the hand, and malygos. But I needed emperor or ancestor call to win. Guess what my last two cards were? :(
And guess who won? :D:D:D

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
I was about to post in the salt thread how I drafted Warlock in the Arena and managed to not get offered one single AOE card. Not one. I somehow still managed 3 wins and when I opened my pack, BOOM! Golden Krul the Unshackled! First golden legendary in 500+ packs! That 1600 dust (already have regular version) will go nicely toward crafting whatever legendary seems cool in the next expansion, but that I'll ultimately rarely use.

Teaching dragon priest how its done
Free kill on 9/9 drakonid crusher from the n. historian with nightmare and ysera goes back to the office
Mayor from mulch that got created by raven idol several turns before.
This dragon priest devolved my board of 3 thaddeus. Twice. First time, noggenfogger, Krush, and Soggoth. Second time, Tirion, Grom, and Doomcaller.
Felt like that Disguised Toast clip: "What are you DOING???!"

I really should update my signature more often...
Just opened a golden buccanneer KREYGASM, just as good as opening a dupe legendary. FeelsGoodMan.
Should you craft/disenchant (Golden) Sylvanas or Ragnaros?

Everything that isn't about elephants is irrelephant.
I love it when someone gets cocky and says thank you when they think they can steal my minion, but then my secret pops and they get a 1/3.
That or when that same cockiness causes them to overpower a minion, only for me to have Ice Block and then polymorph/silence that minion.
Cockiness that backfires just amuses me in this game.
I just realized that I'm getting 9600 dust when the hall of fame cards rotates out. Wow. What a beautiful day!

I just had the best game ever! I am playing a Priest that has a really good win rate vs Pirate Cancer.
He starts the game with some BM: "I will crush you" on repeat.
I crushed him.
I added him as a friend afterwards to brag (I'm not a nice person and I REALLY hate anyone playing Pirate Warrior).
He asked me "wtf is wrong with you?" and then called me a "motherf%&*#@ C*%^sucker"
It felt really good - made me laugh with joy!

I crafted Finja, the Flying Star and that card is really fun when it works.
