How is this gona work? r they gona pick class and draft arena decks with something like hearthpwn arena and then create deck with those cards and match up agains each other or what ?:O

They draft an actual arena deck but are not allowed to pick a card more than twice as the decks are afterwards rebuilt as constructed decks.

Oh i see, so they dont actualy play vs each other, but rather "normal" arena and for each win they get $200 for a charity of their choosing? If that is so, this event could take a looooooot of time no?:) If they would play one at a time and did well :)

No, they draft an arena deck, note the cards, recreate the deck as constructed deck and then play against each other (and redraft after every game).

Ok now i get it (i hope :D) ... lets get into some conspiracy, what if they will get a draft where all 3 cards r already 2x in deck and they will be forced to pick 3rd one ?:))

I guess that won't happen :D Or is at least extremely unlikely. Someone with more calculus skill than me might be able to get a number on how likely it is to get offered three cards that are all already twice in the deck.

I don't think the probability of being offered a specific card goes down based on previous cards offered or picked otherwise it wouldn't be truly random.

But Zylus has a chance of winning group B against Trump ;)

holy crap SivHD drafts :DD

Group B has been providing quality entertainment which group A lacked.

Group A was the droolers group, you face such guys if you by accident go 0-2 in arena.

Good thing group a sucked so hard, it was very entertaining :D

I can't believe how bad some the drafts were.  By the end I expected someone to pick Angry Chicken.  I'm frick terrible at arena but I know not to pick Ice Barrier.
