Just played a normal power level shaman deck, thought that I could probably get 7-8 wins out of it if lucky.
Well, turns out single unstable evolution is strong enough to carry me to 12 wins!
I'll tell you shortly about last two games. At 10-2, unstable evolution decided to give me Archmage Antonidas, and few fireballs after evolving other minion on the board to Sleepy Dragon, nicely protecting my Antonidas. Ended up with 5 fireballs as a shaman, and turned the game around completely as you would expect.
Against final boss (Rogue), I went for a risky turn 6 evolve on a 5 drop (Former Champ), and it turned out be a nice turn 6 Tyrantus, which of course won the game, even though that Rogue put on a lot of pressure after it and tried to SMOrc. GG

Yeah, Unstable Evolution is super strong. Ofc it can fail, but if you dont use it for a last turn evolve or two, but actually plan your actions, that card can carry hard.
I never thought that I can get a Prince Keleseth combo in arena from nowhere. This reminds me when Kazakus was in standard and I was very happy to get him activated in arena. But this time I got Paladin deck with only one 2 drop and two Tanglefur Mystic. I drew on turn 3 my only 2 drop card from the deck and then on turn eight I played my first Tanglefur Mystic and gave me an active Prince Keleseth. But this is not all, on turn 11 I played the second Tanglefur Mystic witch gave me the second Prince Keleseth. Sadly I lost that game but the story remains unique. Here is the match ->> https://hsreplay.net/replay/bJx66Sjor4n4SB5KgMytk4
Don't you just love when a crazy plan comes together? On a very suboptimal draft pick I got Tainted Zealot, Arena Treasure Chest and Star Aligner. The best choice according to HearthArena was the Zealot but I like to have some unexpected options - the whole deck was not the best so a gimmick can sometimes save you. And it did. Game three saved me from a full board Paladin with me at 4 health. He went face with a Dinosized minion and support. One does not expect the Star Aligner ;)
I was playing as a rogue. My opponent was a warrior. I played a Gurubashi Hypermon into a Face Collector. I then played 4 Face Collectors next turn. One of those gave me another Face Collector and another one gave me a Princess Talnji. The following turn I played 3 more Face Collectors. And then turn after I played Princess Talanji which summoned a board full of legenedaries. My poor opponent hovered over the Princess Talanji for a long time, like he could not believe he’s own eyes. I could almost see the expression on he’s face and hear he’s rage. Because truth be told, he was ahead and would most likely have won that game. Instead he conceded the turn after.
Against a Warlock with some kind of zoo with Blood Troll Sapper. Managed to board clear his weak minions with a Spell DMG minion and Blast Wave, gives me a Mirror Entity and play it. Warlock has 8 cards in hand and plays into my secret with his Blood Troll Sapper. When I manage to kill his and I get a Blood Troll Sapper combo.
Against a Paladin with a serious dragon deck and Farraki Battleaxe. Manages to trigger the wpn twice, gets a 4/12 Divine Shield, Taunt and a Cobalt Scalebane . Manage to kill the taunt but he plays a 6/14 Sleepy Dragon. So I play my Ultrasaur and end my turn. He plays Equality with a Cobalt Scalebane and a 9/14 Sleepy Dragon on his side but trades the taunt with my Ultrasaur cause apparently, face matters. WTF!?
Drafted a priest deck with 3 Spirit Lashes, 2 Amani War Bears, a Holy Nova, and a Free from Amber At 0-0, I beat a druid after my Free from Amber resulted in a Malygos that said druid was unable to deal with and played a bunch of the Feral Gibberers he had been generating since turn one, a 3-drop I can't remember, and buffed it all with Power of the Wild. I already had a Spirit Lash in hand to use in this sort of situation, but I topdecked Holy Nova for extra oomph in the face, bringing the druid down to 11, after which they proceeded to concede.
I haven't played any more matches with that draft yet, but I think it's looking pretty decent.
Update: Currently at 2-2. I ran into a paladin with Prince Liam and a Witch's Cauldron highroll at 1-0, followed by a very aggressively curving warrior, and I nearly conceded against a hunter at 1-2, but somehow turned that one into a win.
Most of my ridiculous Arena stories came when I play as Rogue, my favourite class and the reason I play this game at all.
I once drafted a Keleseth Rogue deck with 2 shadowsteps and one Pre-nerF Chain Gang. There was one game where I went coin Keleseth =+ 2 Shadowstep when I was at 6 wins or something. Needless to say, my opponent insta-conceded.
Pick Pocket also makes for fun stories. There was a game where I was way behind on board with almost no chance of coming back. But 3 of my 4 Pick Pockets gave me these: Hooked Reaver, Lord Godfrey, and Bloodreaver Guldan. Ended up winning that game but felt sooo bad for my opponent.
Just doing my "free" arena turn with warlock. I remember reading a user's thread, where he rated warlock as the king of the arena. Well, darkarchon, you were right. :P
Why am I spamming here? Just take a look at the screenshot and see what the silenced Proud Defender turned into.
Wow, that is exactly what i fear will happen to me when my opponent plays that card :D so far the best they managed to do is to ress it once, this was insanity :D
That being said, he had 3x Walking Fountain? Holy hell. And still lost :o
Yeah, Shaw+Geist is a nasty combo. CG to 12 wins tho!

Is Unstable evolution too strong in arena?

To be great is to be misunderstood.

What is with these idiot arena players?

162 ladder wins with Renouncelock and counting! Reno, Zoo, Cube, Even; they all run Renounce Darkness in my lists!
11-1 record, I have no clears in my deck, facing a full board...
Instant concede for 12 wins.
Oondasta into Oondasta into Ironhide Direhorn with doubled health on turn 9 in arena? Seems fair after a big losing streak

A hunter started with Webspinner.
This gave him Messenger Crow
This gave him Toki; Time Tinkerer
Which gave him Marin; The Fox
That's a rabbit hole and a half. Also a Tanglefur Mystic gave him Khadgar [Which he used to get double Huffer because it's always Huffer] and Ravencaller got him Patches the Pirate
That's 4 Legendaries generated out of thin air.
Still won.
Current Deck -http://www.hearthpwn.com/decks/240420-army-paladin - Token Paladin
So, I drafted this ridiculous rogue deck...
The most I have ever drafted was Priest deck years ago with 3 Dark Cultists and 7 Kabal Talonpriests.
Played part of opponent deck at 4w-2l. How is it possible to be 4-2 with this deck?
How can anyone ever pick Dirty Rat in Arena and play it turn 2?
Don't know the bucket it's in but, I can't imagine the other draft options to be worse.
Nope.
I just had an amazingly stupid game featuring Witch's Cauldron carrying me till T10 where Kel'Thuzad took over :D This game was hilarious.

one time my opponent played Dirty Rat turn 2 and pulled a Sleepy Dragon. he just stared at it for like 30 seconds then conceded.
Rejoice, for even in death, you have become children of Thanos.
