Upgrade, Bloodsail Cultist, Dread Corsair (thanks for drawing a board full of 3/3 taunts for me, Mill Druid!)
Tundra Wolf, Stonetusk Boar, Desert Camel (also beats almost everything else)

Was it rigged so that you also got a second legendary in one of your ten packs? It happened to me in both of my accounts:
N.A.: Cenarious, Ysera (!)
Europe: Tirion Fordring, King Mukla (¡)

Rogue: Faerie Dragon + Backstab + Shiv
Faerie Dragon can't be Naturalized. Backstab clears the Druid's board perfectly. Shiv makes the deck viable against other kinds of decks, and provides reach (carefully!) against Druid.

Love this Brawl! Have been beaten by some very creative decks.
However: I don't love all the Mill Druids! Seriously, guys?!? I mean... Seriously?1?
My current counter:
Every Coldlight Oracle gets Backstabbed, and you always have enough because they're always playing Coldlight Oracles.
Faerie Dragons can't be Naturalized, so the only way that they can play Naturalize is on their own Oracle on the same turn it's played. Therefore you are hardly being milled faster than they're milling themselves. Meanwhile, they have to deal with a board of 3/2's with no minions of their own.
Although it is counterintuitive to play Shiv against a Mill deck, Shiv is necessary for winning against other matchups.

@ raikaria: Totally agree about Demonfuse. Demonfuse is bad because it is extremely expensive and tribe-dependent, and the one card that allows you to get a demon no matter what (two Imps at least from Sense Demon), has been confusingly removed from Arena but not Demonfuse.
Also: By removing 3 commons from Mage, that means that there is a greater chance of Flamestrike and Firelands Portal being offered.

Just my impression, but it seems like I'm facing fewer Flamestrikes since the release of ONiK. Noticeably fewer.
Of the last four mages I played against, only one played a Flamestrike.
The card pool got bigger and the commons are skewed toward ONiK, so I guess it makes some sense.
Finding that it doesn't pay right now to play around Flamestrike...

They seem to only want to make concise changes to cards, rather than completely redesigning them. See, they can change the cost, stats, or effect of Ancient of Lore, but they can only change ONE of those things. Otherwise it would just be too much for the average player to grasp. (Yes, that was sarcasm.)
Of the recent nerfs, only Force of Nature and Blade Flurry had both cost and effect changed, and those were spells. Force of Nature was the ONLY nerf that also saw a mitigating benefit.
Blizzard wants to keep it simple and is extremely conservative about changing any previously released cards. Blizzard doesn't care if a card becomes completely uncompetitive. Blizzard wants to push the game in certain directions. Therefore some cards get nerfed into the ground.
Personally I think that all the basic class cards should at least be marginally playable for new players, so I think that Warsong Commander and Buzzard were too harshly nerfed. I also think it's bad that so many classic rares and epics are terrible since new players also have access to so few of those.

To clarify, I won each of the 7 games in which I went first, and I lost each of the 3 games in which I went second.
I've been playing a lot of Arena lately. These results are making me re-evaluate how I use the coin and mulligan as the second player.

If you guessed 7, you were right!
As I looked at my other recent games, the trend towards losing as second player is there, but I've never seen anything so blatant.
So a tip for doing well at Arena: always go first!
