I thought it wasn't that uncommon for girls to befriend gay dudes?

"Wow".

Absolutely not.

They're running this as a preliminary survey so they can tweak some gears before release to make sure that people don't get the most popular/desired Loa's for free.

Just a tinfoil hat joke that some people will actually believe (sadly), but the answer is still "no".

If you average 7-9 then Arena is absolutely the way to go (given you enjoy playing it). You don't even need to save up funds for it. The gold you get from a daily quest combined with rewards you get from that average will be more than enough to allow you to keep playing and accumulating packs without any worries at a very steady pace and with huge value payout.

It's the most efficient way to go. Given you're capable of a pretty high average it's just a matter of how you want to play and enjoy the game. After playing Constructed for the first couple of weeks it'll be pretty easy for you to go back to the Arena and continue building your collection from there.

Depends on (A) how you approach the game, (B) how much resources you have, (C) your patience and (D) how good you are at Arena (or if you're willing to invest time into learning it).

(A) If you really love opening new packs, messing around with all the new stuff and that's what will make you happy - then you might wanna go for it.

(B) If you got enough gold and dust saved up to allow yourself comfortable level of the experience described in (A), then once again, you might consider opening packs straight away. You can always leave a small amount of gold to allow yourself to cycle through Arena to get more packs after, or simply weave in a run or two here and there. I, personally, don't see the point in opening 20-ish packs and crafting a legendary or two to just have one deck that I'm not sure will even still be in the meta in two weeks time.

(C) If you are patient, then it is definitely more worthwhile to invest your gold in Arena. That depends on your feelings towards it, though. No point playing the game "efficiently" if you hate every minute of your experience. I'm currently coming back into the game, and I've been farming up Arena for quite some time already. I've got enough gold and dust saved up, but even then I'm going to play Arena for a couple of weeks to get additional packs and wait to see which decks/cards show promise so I can make educated crafting decisions.

(D) If you don't want to be playing Arena or can't be bothered investing time into getting the desired level of efficiency there, then it would probably not be the best way to spend your playing time / gold / missing out on the extravaganza.

It's all about your spare time and what you find fun. I always enjoyed Arena, so it' always been a stepping stone for building up my collection.

Fantastic work, really enjoyed it :)

I know it's too much effort for a simple common card, but one can still dream that this minion will shoot actual rockets upon individual targets instead of a generic end-of-turn wave of fire effect :/ 

Fantastic Arena card.

Premium 3 drop with a late game benefit.

The last three runs have been incredibly generous and amazing, what a memorable way to end ToT. I think I will really miss this event, given that I started playing it very late. Really spiced up the Arena for me, and I hope I'll be OK re-adjusting back (but then again, new expansion and new cards not so far away).

• Was a little scared going into this with very few 2-drops, but 1's and premium 3's really compensated for it.
• 2 x Fire Elemental was easy MVP, so glad I picked a second one over a Master of Realities.
• Scorp-o-matic did kill a Cavern Dreamer. Mission accomplished.
• Unstable Evolution won me so many games, it was silly.

• Good old "middle finger" curve.
• Went for good early game pressure, AoE resilient mid-game bodies with some value attached, some good tempo cards, freeze and nasty removal to push face and a Pyroblast finish.
• Not a single Cavern Dreamer. Been offered only one at the very first pick, but passed it in favour of Meteor.
• However, been offered Pyroblast FOUR times (personal record). One turned out to be fine.
• Wildlands Adventurer did something game-winning almost every time (except for one parrot). Never Rag or Sylvanas, though, but ETC carried twice with Knife Juggler + Unleash the Murlocs and Rogues Do It From Behind.
• Pulled off Stoneskin Basilisk into Corpse Raiser combo three times, won all those games.

Forgot to take a screenshot of the other end of the deck, but the cards are: Corpse Raiser, 2 x Wildlands Adventurer, Frost Elemental, Frozen Crusher, Meteor, Black Knight, Pyroblast.
