OTK mulroc paladin takes on control priest.

I was playing against a mech paladin with my renolock. He had Sacred Trial secret active and 2 minions and i had only a Twilight Drake on board. Then i play Dr. Boom he spawns the two Boom Bots and the trap activates killing Dr. Boom.

Sacred Trial's text reads: "Secret: When your opponent has at least 3 minions and plays another, destroy it."

I had one minion when played Dr. Boom.

This is clearly a bug to add on your Fixing List.

I just posted this on the official Bug report section of Hearthstone. I post it here too so people will be aware of the newly found bug.

Pit Snake should be in good tier.

I have used it and saved me many times since hard removals are hard to find in arena. In turn 1 it forces the opponent to hold back a bit or hero power to remove it and not developing a board. On later turns it gets prioritized (since it's an immediate threat to any big drop) and "protects" other minions that might been cleared via trade or ping. You just need to know how to play it.

Anyfin Can Happen should be on the meh tier.

I regret not choosing it (over Ancient Watcher, which i pick and Alarm-o-Bot). Since paladins in arena always peak Murloc Knight and produce some murlocs Anyfin Can Happen can be a good come back from a late game weak board.

 Although i have no experience with Tunnel Trogg in arena, i believe it should be on good if not meh tier.

It can get out of  control in constructed but in arena you can't guarantee for good overload cards. Plus if you pick too many of them you will lose tempo.

I think you should make some rearrangements because the ranking seems a bit contracted play influenced.

Overall it is  decent.

I personally think it is very important to not base cards of WoW lore, base cards over fun and interactive design. Then put a skin on it afterwards.

Sorry because i didn't put the pictures of the cards, but i don't know how.

Previous adventures, and mostly BRM were very RNG dependent. From LOE Rngsaur  Hex is the most frustrating much up form me.

P.S: I haven't tried Raffam unleashed yet but he seem a bit rng oriented.

Because some people hate to be reminded/lose to the deck that started out with, before they become "skilled-net-deck-palyers"

In my experience you shouldn't get so many 2 drops if you could. Cutting 3-4 2-drops and 1-3 3-drops for 1-2 4-drops 5-drops and late game. Ancestral Knowledge seems a bit useless especially if it was an early pick. The same goes for Gnomeregan Infantry. Booty Bay Bodyguard is a decent taunt, and Lance Carrier can produce a good tempo swing.

Of course all these choices are relative to and vary depending on the cards choices you had and how deep you where in the building phase.

I like the choice of Stormforged Axe it gives early board control.

And remember the most important thing is to realize your mistakes and learn from them.

From my experience each time an adventure or expansion are introduced in the game it good to read some threads and find which classes are favored in the arena. Also the main goal in the arena is to have board control, so classes like mage and even rouge have hero powers that support that. Furthermore a good curve is the key to accomplish that.

Keep in mind that the arena requires two skills in order to have an effective run. It takes good deck building and good deck playing. A good deck builder is a good player, but a good player isn't always a good deck builder. That's a point that people fail to see and start blaming their luck or the concept of the arena in general.

I'm a player of an average 3 to 5 wins in arena and until recently i was creating my decks own my own. Then i tried hearth arena and i have to say my win average went up 2 to 3 wins. It does not just helps you build a deck it also explains a bit why you should pick a certain card through out the build phase. And after you build the deck it gives you a small summary with pointers on how to play it, which is a big help. Plus you get a chart section with synergies, card classification by round/big drop/removal/etc.

Some people are naturals, they can calculate the synergies and have knowledge of their deck every step of the building phase, and in my opinion that's admirable.

So that's not a OTK. It's just a strong finisher, like FoN/Savage Roar, which is easier to set up and can potentially be done on turn 6. Sorry if that seems like splitting hairs but there's a big distinction between dealing enough damage to kill someone from full health and dealing enough to finish them off. Otherwise you might as well say Moonfire is a OTK on a 1-health opponent. To actually OTK someone from Anyfin... you need to have played a pretty good game.

 

Quote from Notorious_BLT>>

I don't know about MR but I think Patron Warrior was easier to pull off. To get a true OTK from Anyfin... you need to have drawn and played 7 specific creatures, they need to be conventionally killed and you need to have drawn Anyfin Can Happen. That's 8 specific cards that need to be drawn and played to bring about a OTK in a class that doesn't have a heap of draw mechanics. Although some cards were key for Patron Warrior (Grim Patron, Warsong, Berserkers) there were more combinations and activators you could use to deal massive damage. It also varied a lot with board state - I've seen Patron Warrior deal 30+ damage from an empty board and no set-up with just 6 or 7 cards if the opponent has minions in play to activate Frothing Berserker.

I'm not saying the card is weak BTW, I think it's potentially really strong and will see decent decks built around it. I just don't think it's massively OP. 

With no doubt Tirion Fordring, within the next week.

P.S: OP you should have add poll with t1 legendaries.

 It seems like each time a deck of this "genre" is introduced in the game it's easier, more stable and with less requirements than the previous one.

 How exactly do you call "less requirements" on a deck with OTK combo that in order to work needs to:

- Find exactly 7 specific minions in own deck and have them all die (without transformations or schuffling into deck - looking at you Entomb)

- WHILE NOT having any of the specific type minions die on opponents side (granted murlocs are not very common in constructed, but still can be produced by many random effects like shredders)

- AND AFTER ALL THAT find a copy of spell that costs 10 mana and play it while enemy NOT having a Taunt.

I'd say Patron Warrior, Miracle Rogue, hell even my Combo Dreadlock have much less requirements for their combos to work. Even tho Paladin is very well suited to stall the game requirements for this combo to work are high enough to let this deck work.
