The paln was simply, take control early with low cost minions and mark of the wild, hold enemy down with swipe or other spells, refill your hand with UI. UI alone won me about 75% of games. In tenth game after playing it, enemy concade with 20 hp and 4 cards in hand.. About 2 games was snowballed from early by shadow ascendant.
edit: Ahh there was so many players with druid as a second class.. no wonder, UI is broken in arena.
Warrior with decent heropower seems kinda broken - Blizzard went very far compensating for "Armor Up!" shittiness in arena with increasing average quality of cards offered in Warrior drafts. Completely opposite thing happened to arena Warlock - to compensate for greatness of the "Life Tap", Blizzard had to decrease average card quality in the classes drafts. So Warrior with this heropower is kinda broken literally - not only do you have better average card quality than any other class, you also never will run out of value.
Glad to see picking warrior worked out for you. I picked warrior and druid and have seen 3 warrior cards in my draft, all of them total shit. Free ticket is rigged, like always.
Another crazy Warrior deck, this time combined with Rogue heropower. Looks like prevalence of high buckets which Warrior has is also impacting second class as well, because I got a lot of good Rogue cards in my draft (whereas in mono-Rogue drafts average quality of cards is extremly low). Spellstone is very solid combined with Dagger Mastery, Hench-Clan was carriyng more games than usual, three Fans were very powerful. Cant say much more, deck is just crazy, slaughtered my 11 wins opponent in 6 turns, only loss was to a Warrior/Mage who Arcanite Reapered me in the face and next turn had Gromash+ping for the perfect lethal, facing lethal setup from my side of the board.
I was kinda scared to pick Mage as a first class, since Mage, not unlike Warlock and Rogue, is handicapped in otder to compensate for a good heropower. And turned out I was right - average score of this deck was almost whole 10 points lower than one decribed in previous post. I think I was able to have success with it only cause of picking Rogue as my second class - Rogue is famous for its ability to make the best out of shitty cards. Snowball minions like Hench-Clan and Grave Shambler hekped a lot too, most of my games were finished long before reaching 10 mana mark.
Well got a 77 point Warrior Rogue, went to 12-2, got a bit of hiccup middle of the road at 6 wins... Just a solid tempo deck really, nothing special otherwise.
Not especially impressive deck this time, card quality is slightly below average (I expected it to be little bit higher from Druid), but Rogue heropower, Hench-Clan and Shambler did it again. Deck also had five 8-drops (one of which makes 10-drops) so it was pretty potent against rare control archetypes as well. Blazecaller performed surprisingly strong, other situational cards not so much.
Feeling kinda silly rn after drstein7 released his stats for dual class arena results and it turned out that Hunter is actually the best first pick class. I was completely ignoring it in favor of Druid, which is actually only 4th best (after obvious Warrior and Priest). Looks like Hunter with a decent heropower is a formidable beast, even after numerous "nerfs" it got with auto-balancing in K&C and buckets in Witchwood, which ultimately made it worst class in arena. As for the deck itself, I went a bit too hard on my value game and it coupled with absence of any conventional boardcleares made my life against agressibe lists incredibly tough. But after trasitioning into the lategame this deck basically couldnt lose - it had obscene amount of premium reactive and proactive tools and very reliable Countess Ashmore coupled with Warlock heropower made sure I wasnt gonna ever run out of value.
again rogue :)

Got lucky because I had 3 legendaries.
I had some really bad cards, but i made it. The Unraveler was better than expected and Corpseraiser works very well with Grizzly and Ettin.
Another one, quite unexpected due to some bad cards.
This dual arena event is cool, still, it's much easier to top 12 wins:

Just finished an this arena run. Omega Agent, Shrink Ray, Equality (+ Wild Pyromancer), Baron Geddon and Fungalmancer were the MVPs here.
I think this is my 3rd 12-wins run so far.

Funny how there are three 12 win decks in the last five posts with Thrallmar Farseer. Anyway, I just got to 12 wins. Noteable combos were Stoneskin Basilisk with Rocket Boots and Violet Wurm with Necrium Blade.
I'm not ready.
