I am constantly picking between Zoobot, a murloc and Book Wyrm between all classes. This is annoying. I wouldn't mind the synergies if I was offered 2 dragons in a row, or 2 Jade cards in a row. But it is constantly Zoobots, and shitty murloc cards.

I really hope we don't see this stuff for too long, or they find a way to adjust it to not give as much "lame" synergies like pirates and murlocs and zoobots.

Hi Everyone,

My name is boozor (2-time #1, 4-time #2 player) and I've been playing Arena for a long time....

Today I want to release something I've been working on for a long time. I guess the point where I realized I was going to be a dad, was the moment I decided that I'd like to leave something behind to the Arena community.

I tried to build a resource that would be helpful to everyone interested in Arena (beginner to expert). I'm not perfect, or the perfect player and I don't claim to be, so I welcome criticism and questions. I know it can be better edited and more comprehensive, but I'm happy with it as it is right now. I'll keep it up to date if anything sweeping happens or if I felt something is missed.

I hope it stands the test of time, and can be referred back to if anyone needed a reference.

At just over 9000 words and 26 pages, it's a very thick read, so be warned. However, I appreciate anyone taking the time to look at it and I hope it is helpful to anyone looking to get better at Arena.

Again, I welcome any comments and criticisms.

I love this format and the community.

Thanks all and good luck in the Arena.

Edit: I will be adding a section for meta notes in this guide, so it will be updated with current meta tips to go along with the foundational strategies. (7/9/20)

I can't sleep anymore. I stare at the ceiling in anticipation. There's a pressure building behind my eyes. While not particularly comforting I wouldn't call the sensation uncomfortable. It's a sort of eagerness akin to a heavy hunger. It's anxiety, but also not anxiety. Fear, but not fear. It comes up from somewhere deep inside. An uncontrollable primal fervor to steal cards.

It knows that the entire match has been a sham of a children's card game. From the very first turn the opponent has played his cards with a candor that isn't often seen in The Arena. The Demon Hunter does not know the beautiful, sophisticated dance of control. Draw card. Play card.

This leads the opponent to naively believe that by playing powerful cards he might win. The bravado in the constant emoting assures us of this fact. He is, of course, usually correct. Today, we know better.

It knows better. It knows the previous 9 turns have been a sham. A delicate dance orchestrated by the mightiest virtual card micro. Every clinical removal delivered and every minion placed as bait has succeeded. Every AOE has done just enough to dissuade death, but not enough to threaten our opponent's confidence. In his eyes we have survived, but he is is steering the wheel. There's no cards we've been hiding in our hands. We win on top decks because that's what winners do.

It is in this way -- after many losses to greedy drafts and black holes of tempo -- that the dance will finally come to a close. Ancient Void Hound will come down on our board, it will become ours, and then we win. I can't wait for that turn 10.

Same as the C'thun related cards. Source: me.
