Played rogue yesterday with a deck from the previous arena cycle (not the one which started yesterday). Went 12-1 with it, Score was 71,1. Didnt really expect to get 12 wins since the deck didnt seem that good to me and I only achieved 12 wins once before. I was quite lucky that I often went first and had a good early game. (And I was able to punish my opponent with Missle Launcher + Plaguebringer combo when he didnt trade).
Usually I feel more confident with Mage, I dont like rogue at all (doesnt matter if Arena, Standard or Wild) but lately Rogue was always top class in Arena so I simply always played Rogue when possible and had amazing results lately. (5, 3, 7, 10, 9 Wins in July with Rogue)
My first 12 wins of the new expansion with a very solid rogue deck. Nothing too fancy, just good card quality, a good curve and a lot of reactive cards.
And the next 12 wins with a mage drafted on the first day of the expansion on my second account. The Leyline Manipulators in combination with all the discover cards were really disgusting. Zephrys did also a very good job.
12-0 with an insanely strong hunter draft. The 2 Scarlet Webweaver in combination with the other big beasts were almost everytime the game winner. 2 Times I pulled of that a Webweaver reduced the mana of the other Webweaver who reduced Rhino to 0 and I developed 12 burst damage in form of 2 5/5s and 1 2/5 for 7 mana!!!
12-2 with hunter, 4 animal companion 3 rhino and 3 legendaeys minions, savannah highmane, siamat and black knight, taunt is not a problem for the Smorc, this deck is just ridiculous all the cards are good and the combo gastropod and rhino for killing taunts win a some games see de list
12-2 with a high roll mage deck. The 2 Blast Waves and Flamestrikes did a lot of work. Furthermore, the deck had some nice synergies (Oondasta -> Mastodon; Tortollan -> Wave/Flamestrike and some elemental combos).
Very strong hunter deck. Curve allowed to get 2-drops consistently, but I was lacking in 3-drops. Luckily weapons & healing allowed to bridge to the later turns in which I had a ton of initiative due to charge rush and spells.
MVP's: Siamat - Amazing card. This is the first run I had him and he provides incredible value with rush+divine shield or rush+windfury. Locust Swarm - Extremely useful removal, cleared the board or the most dangerous minions many times. Combos very well with Knife Juggler or Quicksand Elemental Shroom Brewer - It proved great as a 4-drop, healing face or minion. Worked especially well with reborn minions like Wrapped Golem or Khartut Defender.
surprises: Khartut Defender - This card proved great. The healing was very useful and the double-taunt (with decent damage!) disrupted the opponent's plans many times. when played with minions already on the board it allowed me to hit face for quite a bit before it was negated, usually winning the game. Tomb Spider - I was surprised by the great selection of minions it offered in hunter, making it a great problem-solver with cards like Halazzi, the Lynx and King Krush, which were often reduced in cost by my Scarlet Webweaver to a ridiculous amount. Sightless Ranger - did very well, seemed to have endless targets for overkill with 1 or 2 attack which left a decent body even after spawning the bats
Crazy tempo warrior deck. Plenty of 2 and 3 drops, so I always had a curve. I was able to pull of some nice stuff with Bloodsworn Mercenary. But I have to say, the true MVPs of this deck were Murmy, Kor'kron Elite and Arcanite Reaper. I don't think I would make it to 12 wins without the extra damage from Kor'kron and the weapon and Murmy was really crucial in some matches, includind the final boss, which was a Paladin:
This is the first 12-win run I've had in two expansions. Almost every card was great, but having two Quicksand Elemental really seemed to turn the tide in a lot of games. I had lots of ways to control the board, and I found myself pushing for lethal by turn 9-10 in most games. However, I also out-resourced a control Priest in one game. HearthArena told me not to pick Brann, but he was great. I pulled off Brann + Pit Crocolisk several times. In my 11-1 game, I played Brann + Coin + Pit Crocolisk for the win.
A preety solid Midrange Hunter deck. Just curving out, trading well and pushing face damage whenever I could. Baited Arrow did wonders in this run. What a card!

12-1 with an almost perfect token aggro druid deck.

Another 12 wins with a really strong hunter deck. The deck quality was so high that I just outvalued most of my opponents.

That was rather difficult to play without spells except flamestrike, but I got a sweet bonus as Raven and Tortollan (8)

Very strong hunter deck. Curve allowed to get 2-drops consistently, but I was lacking in 3-drops. Luckily weapons & healing allowed to bridge to the later turns in which I had a ton of initiative due to charge rush and spells.
The healing minions in the form of Shroom Brewers, Fungal Enchanter, Half-Time Scavenger and Khartut Defender helped immensely both for minion and face heal.
MVP's:
Siamat - Amazing card. This is the first run I had him and he provides incredible value with rush+divine shield or rush+windfury.
Locust Swarm - Extremely useful removal, cleared the board or the most dangerous minions many times. Combos very well with Knife Juggler or Quicksand Elemental

Probably the shittiest deck to reach 12 wins (1660 dust total cost)
Really bad deck to go 12-0, but hey, i did it!
Best cards hands down i would say, Fel Reaver , Shade of Naxxramas , Void Reaper , Ethereal Conjurer , Dinosize
pretty brutal paladin-warrior. 4th time 12 win ever, 1st in dual-class. 3 muster carried, especially with that minion giving divine shield to them
12-2 PALAROGUE
without any OP cards, just perfect tempo.
Was surprised, because thought, that that deck could do 3-5, not more. But I was surprised
Spiked Hogrider won two games
And I never use Kooky Chemist for removal or good trading, only for tempo
One of the most crazy run i have, i actually got a lot of 12 wins, but with Mal'ganis first time.

Great Deck! Druid's 10 is the mvp of the deck.

Cheap, quality minions, Bittertide Hydra, and weapons.
I got only gold as a reward. Very pleased, but incredibly shocked.
Oh, and Lantern of Power actually won me two games.
