How do you catch up? Hafu: Rely on AoE. Know what's in your deck still so you know what you can use. Have a plan. Trump: It's hard to come back, which is why I value lower cost minions so much more. Big Taunts!
Goblins vs Gnomes Cards
Hafu and Trump gave their opinions on arena draft scenarios with the new cards.
Trump: Mechwarper, useful in Mech decks for arena, probably more play in constructed. Shrinkmeister is an individually strong card, very good for arena.
Hafu: Shrinkmeister combos real well with Priest cards.
Hafu: Micro Machine is Cute, but Piloted Shredder is like a crazier harvest golem. The new staple 4 drop in arena. The new Yeti.
Trump: Piloted Shredder is abolutely insane. I did the math, the average drop you'll get is a 2/3 from the effect. You can even get Millhouse, who's battlecry wouldn't come out!
Trump: Spare Parts - Cool way to add a "draw a card" type mechanic. They aren't as valuable as a full card, but they do have value, maybe 1/3 of a card. If I have Mechs in my deck, I'd go with Cogmaster.
Hafu: I like 1-drop 2/1s. Spare Parts are great. Gives you a mech which is a plus.
Trump: 3 mana 3/4 is insane value, we've see how well it was in priest decks. Spider Tank is a really strong pick. I also like Tinkertown Technician, I'll take both. No reason to pick Earthen Ring.
Hafu: Like Trump said, I Tinkertown is only if you really have mechs. Earthen Ring is good if it fits with your combos.
Hafu: I really like Unstable Portal. You could play a 6 drop on turn 3! It's too much fun.
Trump: Definitely a lot of fun, but you can also get a wisp. I did the math, a third of the minions in the game are 2 or less (base sets). 10-15% of the time, you're going to get a 1 drop. Portal is a bit too random for me. I choose Flamecannon as you can control the randomness!
Trump: I don't even even need to know what Boom Bot is, I'd pick Dr. Boom! Now that I see what it is though, you basically get a 9/9 with the boom bots, and they'll deal extra damage. Blingtron.. not the best pick for arena.
Hafu: Definitely Dr. Boom. Blingtron and Harrison are too situational.
Hafu: All really fun. I'd probably go Sneed's in most games.
Trump: I love Deathwing, but I think we'll see Sneed's as one of the best Legendarys in the game. Legendarys on average are like a 5/6, so thats like a 10/13. Value! Plus, if you get Kel'Thuzad..
I think they are lying/promoting new cards, at least it's scripted. I mean, trump said ' plus, if you get kelthuzad..' - this is just bullshit.
I doubt it's scripted. They were invited by Blizzard to be guest speakers at a massive promotional event. Hafu and Trump are receiving free legitimacy/exposure for their respective streams. If they have any sense at all, the tone will be extremely positive.
Is there a VOD of the panel floating around anywhere?
Would love to see the VOD of the panel too! Tried googling it, nothing. Anyone found it?

Yes, but they made it as if I asked you would you pick Alarm-o-Bot, Wailing Soul or some crazy new card, what woud you say? lol
I'm not sure what you're complaining about. The GvG cards were showcased, so obviously they wanted to highlight some really cool ones. Trump and Hafu explained their thoughts on the cards and it was interesting to hear which ones they expected to be powerful. Overall it was a decent video, but Mike Donais has zero stage presence.

9th choice didn't make sense as a "draft" since they're spells from 3 different classes.

That leaden stare and monotonous delivery.
