As a frequent Arena player i've faced some pretty crazy drafts and sometimes have gotten absolutely OP drafts myself, but what I encountered just now is insane (see attachment).
I faced a highlander Paladin (on turn 1 he coined out Sir Finley to get him the upgraded DH hero power). On top of that, a few turns later he dropped a frickin Zephrys on me - that's the moment i took the screenshot not really believing what was happening haha. This screenshot doesn't include that the rest of his highlander deck included Sanctuary, Bonechewer Vanguard and Twin Tyrant :')
This was one crazy game and needless to say I lost haha (even though there was really just one Taunt in my way to finish him off with a gorehowl in my hand).
In any case, I want to thank this player for a brilliant arena game and on his/her absolutely insane draft - hoping he/she enjoys every minute of it - because damn, that deck.
Well it's the first time i've encountered it (in many games). I've never before had 2 highlander offerings in a single draft and whenever I would be offered Zephrys or DQ Alex it was mostly later in the draft so i couldn't properly build highlander around it anymore. I'm glad for you that apparently this happens to you more often, but for me this was an absolute rarity.
Actually, lately it hasn't happened to me at all. I've recently started a thread here stating that in my opinion overall quality of decks has plummeted dramatically. I only get garbage decks with which i get 2-3 wins at most lol. The reason for that, however, might also be the fact that I am bad at this game.
I actually have the feeling there are several really OP cards out there, that are kinda a must to draft to be somewhat successful in your run. Cards like imprisoned vilefiend, twin tyrant, burrowing scorpid and ruststeed raider are so valuable. Having a few of those can be absolute game changers.
In other news i'm not as impressed by the deck that I started this thread with, having just encountered this guy:
Arena sucks pretty bad now, all these super swingy cards in the meta.
Sadly, Blizzard has completely given up on Arena since Year of the Dragon, Arena was pretty good after Pally nerfs during Withwood till the start of Year of the Dragon.

It happens sometimes. I don't see what is so surprising about that. I've drafted highlander decks with both zephrys and alexstraza many a time.

Zephrys and Alex in the same draft? Jesus...
