For the November leaderboard I'm going to try a different strategy, by drafting only defensive decks and focus on Mage and Priest. 

I usually only play aggro and tempo decks on both ladder and arena, but I've been playing a lot of Control Warlock and Priest on ladder recently.    

First five runs: Druid 10, Mage 7 and 10, Priest 8 and 9  

Very lucky start, but it also feels like there have been some micro adjustments to make mid tier classes more consistent. 

Congrats to everyone making the dual class leaderboard  

I can't believe Amaz got #1

Wow...Blizzard actually showed some respect for the arena leaderboard.

All of this communication and nice patches lately, well done Blizzard.

The arena leaderboard is going to be skewed again :(

The free arenas will benefit arena streamers and grinders like Hafu and the Chinese Meow arena clan.

It would be nice if arenas during the Halloween event Oct 24-Nov 6 didn't count towards the October and November leaderboards.

Everyone will be happy getting extra wins and rewards that they won't care that the arena leaderboard is tarnished.

Congrats Zashiki for earning a very impressive spot on the arena leaderboard. 

Congrats to everyone else on the September leaderboards and GL to anyone going for the October leaderboards.

I'm giving up on my September leaderboard run.  Good luck to anyone else trying for it.

Just drafted a Shaman deck with four dragons, evolve, thrall deathseer, doppelgangster, and bomb squad.  The draft also has an ice breaker and double avalanche which will probably be bad, but might have some moments. 

I'm going to enjoy the end of this month playing bottom tier classes and making meme drafts

August leaderboard is fixed and the Chinese players dominated everyone.

My average went up from 7.23 to 7.67 and my rank fell from 102 to 108.

***The arena averages seem to be off.  In the July arena leaderboard Blizzard counted the frost festival win, but in August they didn't.  I guess the max wins on a run during the frost festival in August was 11.

I still made the leaderboard, but my average went from 7.67 to 7.23 because of this change :(  

I completed my 30 runs for August with a 7.67 average, which is hopefully good enough for the leaderboard.

My three best classes are Rogue, Paladin, and Priest.  I really need to improve with Druid, Warlock, Mage, and Hunter.  I’m going to avoid playing Shaman and Warrior until I finish my 30 runs each month.

First time I made the arena leaderboard at #95!!! Very proud of myself.   

I'm looking forward to the next expansion and I plan to go for the arena leaderboard again in either September or October.  

Good Luck everyone :)

My last 7 runs were very bad and my average ended up at 6.8 which might squeak me into last place   

In the end, I think I could have drafted slightly better and I could have played a lot better.  

And I really hope Blizzard will announce a balance update for arena because I want to play every class equally and not focus on the top tier.  Overall, I still had fun going for the leaderboard. 

I won't have time to do the challenge next month so I'll just be derping around with my favorite arena classes Druid and Warlock and seeing if the weapon update made Warrior any better.

GL everyone :) 

How is everyone doing in the final stretch?

My average is shifting between 6.9-7.1 which should be good enough for the bottom half of the NA leader board.  But it would be nice to be finish in the top 100 and not the dumpster ranks.  

I need to complete 7 more runs, RNG please be kind 

GL everyone :)

I'm glad they expanded the amount of players listed each month.  Constructed is very competitive and having only the top 100 cuts a lot of big name players.

I'm 6 runs in with a 8 win average so far.  But now I'm forced to pick between a bottom tier class: Shaman, Druid, and Warlock.

Which class do you think is the most consistent of the three?

Druid seems to have the tools to go the aggressive route.  Going midrange or control with Druid seems bad because they lack AOE and hard removal spells.  

Shaman has lots of control spells and healing mechanics, but the quality of their minions makes me hesitant that the class can play the long game.  It seems like you have to hope and pray for elemental synergy if you want to play the value game with this class.  Aggro also seems harder to build in Shaman than in Druid.  

Warlock has lots of removal and AOE spells like Shaman, but Warlock has a better hero power.

To me Warlock seems like the most consistent class of these three.  But aggro Druid can be a thing so I'm also thinking about that.  Aggro and tempo drafts have been key to my 8 win average this month and my 7 win average last month.
