mechathun priest, can vouch it does well against druids. my odd paladin was getting wrecked by druid and then i switched up to priest and i did fine.

I basically took out the giggling inventor x2 and added another amalgam and a divine favour. Made the curve slighty lower and added a hand refill. As for people complaining about the lack of 1 drops, i would say i only don't get a 1 drop in 1 out of every 6 games and there are half the times where you can coin hero power for a good start.

only deck i struggled against constantly was priest mech'thun otk because of all the board clears and heals

went from rank 15 - 5 in few hours of play.

i managed to beat 2 (not including the games where i already had a huge board and was way ahead). Game 1, guy played it on around turn 15 and the game went into fatigue and somehow i managed to not get swarmed by water elementals. Game 2, i had shaman death knight, so my evolve hero power made it really hard for them to get ping kills to summon water eles. But yea i probably lost like the other 5 games i have faced it.

5 legendary draft....didn't think it would be 12 wins though because two many different synergy crammed into one deck but it turned out fine.

Cobalt scalebane+devilsaur egg combo help win quite a few games

Reading the earlier comments and seeing the amount of upvotes gives you a good laugh.

I am severely dissapointed. Not a single 2 drop minion even showed up in my draft except for Lorewalker cho. Not to mention my last mage arena had only one two drop show up too which i drafted and its not even your typical 2 drop (lance carrier).

Also i have noticed ever since the arena changes, when a certain card keeps popping up in the draft....IT WILL KEEP POPPING UP. Amgam Rager and Stand against darkness was in my draft atleast 6 times each. 

i think they lowered the gold, i'm averaging like around 7 wins right now too and i'm still slowly losing gold instead of going infinite now. I keep getting common cards as rewards.

Like just now, i got 5 wins in an arena, and my reward was pack, 50 gold and a rare card. In other words i lost like 100 gold from playing above average in arena since the cards mean nothing now (since i have pretty much most of the gadgetzan cards). 

Really hard to go infinite now.

"Also, after watching other players...I see very similar plays that I would make- though not always."

You know one mistake in a game can be the difference from winning and losing? Legend players pretty much always make the most optimal play. Also it takes a legend player few hours of playing to hit rank 5 while you are stuck at 15 for the whole month. So i don't think "TIME" is the difference from rank 15 and legend players. You could make the argument that "time" is the difference from rank 2,3,4 and legend because if you can get past rank 5, it means you can climb even without winstreaks.

Sorry to break it to you, you ain't hitting legend if you can't even get to rank 5 comfortably. Rank 5 is where the grind begins. Also playing face decks won't help you climb to legend if you don't even have the skill set to get to rank 5. 

To answer your question on how to get better. Watch streams and see what and how "legend" players play and see what you are doing different.

I usually hit rank 5 before the 10th day of the month at first playing casually. Then if i decide to get legend I start to invest a lot of hours each day. Fastest i've been able to hit legend is the 20th of the month. So its a big grind from rank 5 to legend, unless you are actually pro level player.

25 packs and no legendaries. i swear they lower the rates at the beginning so you get tempted to buy more packs

I try not to. I have golden warrior and golden priest, and ~50 wins away from golden mage, but I've never been legend. Highest I've gone is rank 7 with control warrior. I could have hit legend with it, but I just don't play that much to grind it out, even though I have nearly 5000 wins on my account -- but I've been playing since beta, so it's all averaged out over time...

If you can hit rank 3 or higher then i believe the only thing stopping you from hitting legend is playing more games. Because it means you can climb without winstreaks while playing against pretty good players. If you hit 5 and can't climb and further, it means your not good enough to hit legend, so practice some more.

Just played a game where I am Tempo dragon warrior with no board and no cards in hand, was one damage off of lethal with his board filled with taunts. I then top deck sir finley and get mage hero power :D. 

Well from someone who has only been playing deathrattle beast hunter from the release of WOTOG (rank 3 currently). I have a lot of troubles against zoo, miracle rogue, shaman. I tend to win vs control and pretty much all the variants of warrior except for pirate aggro warrior. 

So if you want to beat it, just play more aggro type decks or play miracle rogue where you use spells and clear the small minions and sap all the big minions
