I wouldn't mind this format if I could just see what's in my deck beforehand. At least then you'd have a chance to build some strategies around what cards you ended up with.
I've been playing the game since beta and the highest rank I've ever reached was 9 I think. You can call me bad if you like, you're probably right. But I think there are a lot of players like me who enjoy the game, but view the ladder as too daunting and give up quickly. There are two reasons for this I see: 1) As the game has grown in popularity, it has become more competitive and 2) With the seasons only a month long, it takes tremendous time and dedication to even get into the single digits for the average player.
My proposal would be a Legend Ladder. This ladder would be available to any player who has achieved the rank of legend in the regular ladder at any time. Blizzard could award their "pro points" or whatever they like to count toward Blizzcon, etc. in the Legend Ladder, thus giving incentive for the pro/serious players to play there. This would let the regular ladder become a bit more casual while still giving players a sense of achievement for climbing to the top. If your desire is to become a pro level player, you can climb the regular ladder to legend for the opportunity to pit your skills regularly against the top players in the Legend Ladder. The same type of system could even be applied to the arena with different rewards for the Legend Arena.
The current matchmaking system works fairly well in many cases, but adding an additional tier to the play would alleviate a lot of the frustrations for new/casual players I feel.

I was able to get them by logging in on my phone. Then switched back to my desktop client and they were there.

I was wondering if anyone else noticed that. :/
