Grats Vanlunturu! 7.90 on US would be top 30. Pretty big disparity wow. 

As another 1st timer I was able to hit the US leader board with 7.35 win rate good for rank 94. 

I haven't played hearth stone since karazhan and it was fun and refreshing to encounter several sets worth of new cards all at once. Glad that I didn't lose my fundamental skills over the long lag off :)

Hoping to keep improving as always. Grats to all the leaderboard chasers !

I've hit a really good streak of decent runs lately, 8.6 average at the moment over 30 runs for this month with Hunter being my strongest class followed by Rogue. Turns out playing aggressively for board control is rewarded especially against all these slow, greedy Mages and Priests. Priest is picked equally as often as Rogue by my opponents according to my stats (13%) for KFT, which is quite surprising to me, because Priest is the class I have by far the highest winrate against (80%), even higher than Warrior. Would be interested in how others specifically rate Priest in this meta, since there seem to be a lot of different opinions on Anduin's ranking in KFT atm. I know that dreads (the player who finished #1 with 9.4 on NA last month) for example listed Priest among his best classes for his leaderboard run.

7.3 is definitely enough to make it on the leaderboard, #150 was 6.97 last month on NA and #100 at 7.13. Hopefully Blizzard will exclude runs from the Halloween event for the leaderboard, otherwise results will be skewed again though not as much as during the Frost Festival at least...

After a year of Arena mediocrity, I averaged 6 wins in August and September. I did one run per day and never had to scrap for gold. Had my first 12-win runs. I thought I'd finally cracked the code. 

Now, in October, I'm averaging 2.5 wins. I have no gold and have to quest three days to get into the arena. Feels like every deck I play against has all the answers.

So what happened? Was I just lucky for a few months? Have I just been unlucky in October? Did the meta change suddenly in ways I am missing?

1st month back after a year off Hearthstone, should probably make the leaderboards with 7.3 win avg over the 1st 30 games?
