Thank you for your detailed answer. I am disappointed that many opponents have insane draws late game while I sit there and "enjoy" being destroyed by bad draws. How can this be improved?
If this happens consistently, it means you are not drafting correctly.
You absolutely cannot simply take the card with the highest Arena tier rating every time. You have to consider your curve, early vs late game, card draw/generation, removal, and deck synergies. People with so-called "lucky draws" have done this, improving their chances of getting something useful at every stage of the game.

Are you saying 'luck' doesn't exist like thinking some people are luckier than others or are you actually trying to say that chance doesn't exist and totally random events like which cards you get from say Babbling Book is manipulated using voodoo magic by more skillful players? If it's the latter I recommend psychiatric help.
Obviously, random events occur. This is more about the perception some people have of consistently getting worse outcomes than those around them.
I'm saying there's no magical force called "luck" that some people have more of than others.
If you are consistently "unluckier" than you perceive other players to be, it's because they have skills that you lack in terms of "playing to their outs."

The people saying there is no luck, and that you're bad, you should stop listening to. Arena is 100% based on pure luck during draft. You could get the absolute worst, to middling options every single time you had to pick, with nothing having any synergies, whilst your opponents gets not only good synergy cards like elemental/beast heavy decks, but also several legendaries.
There is a little skill involved in picking cards, but when you are offered trash, there is nothing that can save you, except hope that whoever you're against have gotten even more unlucky than you.
LOL hearthstone is 90% luck. Yes you should know how to draft but why do some people draft 85 point decks while others draft 60 point decks? skill?
And when your opponent plays every card on curve, or top decks the exact card they need to beat you everytime when you are about to win.
yeah...pure skill.
These are exactly the kinds of things people say when they don't want to believe they are actually bad at a game like Hearthstone. So they blame it all on ... you guessed it: LUCK.

There is such a thing as luck. Some people are just luckier than others. Maybe God loves them more but if you really study trends you do notice that certain ppl have more fortunate returns than others do. Sorry math heads but it's always been the case.
LOL ... if you actually studied reality, you'd understand how extremely wrong you are.
In Hearthstone, some players do in fact get better outcomes from random effects more often than others, but it is because they have played toward those outcomes, not because of luck.
So-called "luck" in real life usually works the same way.

That is literally exactly the same as saying no one is any luckier than anyone else.

First, you need to learn, understand, and internalize the fact that there is no such thing as luck.
Once you have accepted that your decisions have led to your outcomes, you can focus on making better decisions, and the skills needed to do so.
