Maybe I'm just getting shafted on my numbers of early game minions that I'm offered, but we're talking eight sub-three drops, 6 games, and the majority of my calls pulled one minion. I usually get around 2-3 1/2-drops outside of lock - and that's aggressively drafting the blighters. That's the best arena draft I've had in terms of Call and call synergy. I've had calls just dead in hand because they would hit absolutely nothing before - One call is a risk, IMO, a second is suicide in almost every arena deck.

The thing is, even when I do get Call early and draft aggressively with bad 1- and 2-drops (4 if I'm lucky) - I then have to mull aggressively for them to, you know, actually have something to play. I'm pretty sure that I've not been offered any of the one or two drops you've mentioned, ND, other than drygulch, in the entirety of my post-KaC Arena runs. Seriously, how many targets do you feel is good for the card? And how do you get offered that many?

Guild recruiter? Very different card, has a non-negligible pool of targets to hit. Call? Getting boycotted by me, even first pick. When I get shafted on it reliably and I have 8 targets in the deck? I can't see the appeal.

Since you people all love Call to Arms, I need some help understanding why. You simply cannot get enough 2-drops to be consistent. 8 total 1- and 2- drops? Nah, not enough. And that's an excessive amount of sub-three drops to get in my experience. I have been known to get more Call to Arms than targets for the thing, ffs! Feels like a trap card that looks good on paper, but sucks in practise. <4 sub-three drops in an entire draft is common now. Can't aggressively pick them when they're not offered. It feels like a 4 rating card to me.

Cursed Disciple has been doing a breakout performance for me in this meta.  I had this card in 4/8 of my 12 win drafts. 

It seems to be very powerful against priest.  There are also less hunters in the meta to candleshot it, not enough paladins with lost in the jungle, mages lose 2 mana to ping it, and rogues take a lot of face damage.

The success of this card completely depends on the meta so its understandable that a lot of you rated it 4.  I personally gave the card a 3 at the start of the expansion.  And now I would say its a 2 or 2.5.

Has anyone pinpointed why arena is so miserable to play this expansion?
