My first 12 win since MSG. I took me like 40+ runs to make it happen. Pretty standard control deck. No epics or legendaries but I ran into lots of legendaries but somehow always could remove them.
The meta in arena has changed quite a bit but in the end I think when you draft you really good mage control deck you are unstoppable. I lost my only game to warlock who grinded me to death but that is always the case against warlock.
This was my first 12 wins run in MSoG (mage ofc xD). After drafting and looking at the curve I was like "shit i screwed up" and i thought I can't go higher than 7. Ended up 11-1 then first final boss was actually a friend of mine who rekt me with an insane hunter deck (5/7 dispatch kodo to kill 6/5 gurubashi berserker then buffing it up to 7/9 taunt with houndmaster, gg). Second final boss was a rogue and he played deathlord and when it died it summoned something big from my deck can't remember what but that's when i got him. Definetly Most fun run I had since I started playing!
My first ever 12 win list. :) Did it with Warlock.
Kazakus actually worked in 3 different games even with the 3 Alphas and other duplicates. At 11/2 my opponent actually conceded when he saw Kazakus trigger.
12-1 today, my first. Only loss was to a Warlock who got a better start at 10 wins. I didn't use a tracker but I played mostly Mage and Warlock with two Paladins at the beginning and a Rogue at 3.
I think this deck speaks for itself. The card quality here is amazing. It got a 73.5 on HearthArena. No cards were useless though I never got MCT off. Explosive Shot was surprisingly good in a lot of situations as a clear. Combined with Unleash on 8 it became a full clear a couple times.
Long story short: Always pick Call of the Wild. I even kept it in my opening hand a couple times. Its really dumb on 9 and its even dumber on 8 and 9 (coin)
edit: Should have mentioned that I think Hunter might be top 4 classes this expansion, mostly because of Shaky Zipgunner.
Another 12 win with Warlock, my 2nd with this class and 31th overall. Warlock is undoubtedly the new mage in Arena nowadays, face 6 of them of which 2 were my losses, while 4 of them were at the final games of the run (except the boss which was a Hunter, oddly). Plus, this was my second best deck in all the 277 I recorded with Heartharena, with a 74.4 tier score. That doesn't guarantee sucess by itself but really makes things much easier.
I had so much reach and finishers with 2 Power Overwhelming, 2 Doomguard, Darkbomb, North Sea Kraken and the amazing Abyssal Enforcer. Add that to a solid overall minion quality (maybe a bit light on 2 drops, but I had the luck to draw them on curve except on one of my losses), good curve and enough removals and you have a 12 win deck.
Blastcrystal Potion saved the game or won it about 3 times and Wrathguard helped to control the early board a lot (and lost me 1 game to a mage).
The mech sinergy was great on 2 games with Fel Cannon clearing 3 minions in one of them.
And finally in the 12th win all came together wit the card advantage being gained from Jeeves that came from Gorillabot A-3 and the Demons + Demonfire controlled the early board.
Insane deck with 3x Abyssal Enforcer and 2 Voidcaller. First loss (at 10-0) was due to drawing slow starting hand second one at 11-1 due to bad luck (had 3 outs in last 8 cards and with 2 draws didn't get it...so had ~82% to win but lost...ah well). Legendaries were nothing but stats, no Harrison activations. I was curious how heartharena would rate this deck and it was 74.
Honestly I thought this deck would only get around 7 wins due to 3 drops being almost completely nonexistent. But as it turns out, hero power is fine on turn 3 if you're ahead on board thanks to a powerful one drop or Peddler, and you can ignore 3 drops in favour of 4 drops completely with the coin. The late game was so insane it wasn't even funny and I didn't lose a single game if on turn 5 the board was still even or in my favour.
This was my second 12 win arena since release of gadgetzan as well as my second ever, first was on a pretty solid buff pally, this was just a good aggro tempo rogue, I didnt really have a hard match other than at nine, there was a priest who played 5 taunts back to back one of which being ancient of blossoms, so i just petered out and couldnt win, I actually should of lost my 11th win game vs a warlock with a sick deck, He had 5 health Literally Hero powered to 3 and played the abyssal in his hand that he had before hero power, so he threw super hard, if he had left himself at 2 he had lethal next turn and i had no cards in hand, so it was gg most likely, but he gave it to me and i destroyed the next warlock for the 12th win, this is also my first 12-1 last was 12-2
Rewards Were
Golden Jade Blossom, 2 packs, 250 gold. meh for 12 wins i think but still dope! Edit, Also got a Hogger from the classic pack so likely +400 dust as well!
My second 12 Win deck with Warlock in a row, not nearly as powerful as the last one, but it got the job done somehow (going first in most of my games and drawing a 1-drop nearly every time on turn 1 helped a lot). Warlock seems to be the easy mode of Arena right now, seeing the results people are having with it. I played 3 times with Warlock since Gadgetzan, and 2 of them were 12 wins, for a 9.7 win rate. It's really sick.
This deck had really nothing spectactular. No Abyssal or Felfire Potion meant no easy mass removal (I had Shadowflame which was good but much more difficult to set up), I just played zoo style the first turns, while in the midgame I played the token game, trying to create a big board with many cheap minions and cards like Imp-losion and Kara Kazham! to then seal the deal with my win conditions: Stormwind Champion, Mukla's Champion, Frostwolf Warlord or Enhance-o Mechano.
Lack of Mages was really helpful (only faced one at 1-0), as Flamestrike would have been pretty devastating for this type of deck. My only loss was at 7-0 against a really sick Priest deck with solid early game and amazing late game (Dragonfire Potion, Entomb, Mind Control, you name it).
Besides a game where I missed a 3 drop and 5 drop, this deck blew past everything by outgrinding even late game Warlocks. Ethereal Conjurer single handedly won me 3 games where I misplayed and probably deserved to lose by netting a Polymorph, Frostbolt, and Echo of Medivh exactly when I needed it. Polymorph Boar needs to be rated higher on these various arena tier lists, it's super flexible as both reach and removal if you know how to play it correctly.
Guys, hunter's absolutely amazing in the I-play-warlock-because-it's-the-new-mage-just-better meta. Takes a bit of know-how to draft correctly and not play conservatively. Though I only faced 4 warlocks in this run I've been dominating in other runs. Would definitely recommend picking the class despite what you're being told.
Look, I want to tell you something because you're very dear to me. And I hope you understand that it comes from the bottom of my damaged, damaged heart. You are the finest piece of ass I've ever had and I don't care who knows it. I am so glad that I got to roam those hillsides.

My first 12 wins with Paladin.
Good aggro deck with lots of cheap and value minions, 3 great weapons and 1 spell (AOE):
Rewards were meh...

Crystalweaver was much better than I expected. Buffing an Imp Gang Boss to a 3/5 on curve is insane. Cult Master won me 2 games. Antique Healbot also turned at least two games around.
I played DOOM! in two games and I lost one while I won the other.

Warlock:
Very first game loss to a face paladin, and a roll afterwards with every game under 10 turns.
My second ever 12 win!
Heartharena Record: Just didn't face Hunter, Warrior and Rogue.
Abyssal Enforcers carried me 3-4 games,
Blastcrystal Potion saved the game or won it about 3 times and Wrathguard helped to control the early board a lot (and lost me 1 game to a mage).
The mech sinergy was great on 2 games with Fel Cannon clearing 3 minions in one of them.
And finally in the 12th win all came together wit the card advantage being gained from Jeeves that came from Gorillabot A-3 and the Demons + Demonfire controlled the early board.
The rewards almost made me sad though!
12-2 paladin in Asia server, insane deck with a lot of buffs and weapons.
Insane deck with 3x Abyssal Enforcer and 2 Voidcaller. First loss (at 10-0) was due to drawing slow starting hand second one at 11-1 due to bad luck (had 3 outs in last 8 cards and with 2 draws didn't get it...so had ~82% to win but lost...ah well). Legendaries were nothing but stats, no Harrison activations.
I was curious how heartharena would rate this deck and it was 74.
Rewards:340gold+pack+golden common :(
My first 12! :)
Pretty good zoo deck!
Golden heroes: Warlock, Druid, Mage, Hunter

Pretty sick deck. Many high value class cards. I lost twice because of lack of weapons.
Got my first 12 win run ever with this beautiful deck <3
My first 12 win run after the release of MSG with an crazy amount of Imp Gang Bosses and Abyssal Enforcer.
Besides a game where I missed a 3 drop and 5 drop, this deck blew past everything by outgrinding even late game Warlocks.
