Any tips from you guys on getting to 12? or even breaking 10?
It basically comes down to practice which leads to experience. And luck, ofc. How many games have you won in arena? It's not easy to get a 12-win run, I think I had around 150-200 wins before getting 12 the first time.
Also I think it is important to think twice before buying packs for 100 gold. You only need 3-4 wins for it to be profitable to play arena instead of buying packs for gold. Even if you usually only get 0-3 wins the practice you get overweights the small loss.
I have 181 arena wins ATM usually going about 4-5 wins with a couple 6-7 and a few 2-3. I started using ArenaValue to see how i was drafting, pick which card i thought was best, then check to see if i was right. usually getting about 80% of the selections correct according to that site at least.
Thats the beggining, The main problem is that most players can do that, so if thats everything then you wont get the upper hand. For example, in my case i discovered that in arena i play rogue horribly and mage doesnt fit my style. Instead, i look for paladins, warlocks, and maybe druids. I also discovered that making a more agresive curve works better to me. Anyway, i havent donde 12 wins again yet.
yeah, i have realized the classes i do poorly with to, rogue, warrior, shaman. So i pick Pally, Mage and Priest when i can. :)

I once had a deck with Tirion and Kel'thuzad, not to mention 3 truesilver champions, 2 concecreations, faceless and an invalueable bloodknight along with strong, solid minions. I thought it was an easy 12-0 but was lucky to get 12-2. The reason was that at 11-0 I faced the same warrior twice who destroyed my weapons all the time with swamp oozes while himself having many weapons and Ragnaros. Luckily enough I managed to destroy a druid for my twelfth win. My deck was probably stronger than this warrior's, but he countered my deck so hard I had no chance of winning.
On a sidenote I faced a mage with Dr. Boom, Troggzor the Earthinator and Chromaggus. Even though I had a below averege deck it was a close fight, however I lost with the closest margin.
Once i got a pretty decent paladin deck (3 consecrations, 2 musters, other good cards). I joked that since it was a good deck i was going to face a druid with 3 swipes and Dr.Balanced and then go 0-3. In fact, i faced him, but luckily around 5 wins so the deck did as expected. It was funny.
Apart from that, probably the strongest arena deck i have personally seen its mine. Another pala deck with mech and token sinergy, a lot of strong cards (including 2 truesilvers and a consecration) and Tirion. It was my first 12 wins (12-2, until then my best was 10 wins).
That's AWESOME! I am still trying for that 12 win deck. I don't play enough arena to get there very quickly. my best is 7-3, was 7-0 then faced 3 super aggro decks in a row.
So in one of my latest arena runs as Mage, in my first game i was matched up against a priest. I thought, okay, no problem, until turn 8 rolls around and the next three cards he plays are Ragnaros the Firelord, then Kel'Thuzad, then Prophet Velen. Needless to say, I had no way of dealing with all these Legendary creatures and lost a couple of turns later.

i believe Loatheb would be great in this deck, but a decent replacement for Harrison Jones strictly utility based is Acidic Swamp Ooze

What is the most OP deck that you have faced?
(ended up going 5-3 in that arena run)

any thoughts on if Dragon Egg should be included in this deck? maybe replacing Argent Squire?
