[Hearthstone] Mage Arena 12 Wins!

[Shin]

Today was an especially great day for me. After just coming off an 11-3 Shaman arena, I was somewhat upset as I felt the deck really deserved 12 wins with how well it had performed.
As a result, I decided to draft up another arena and chose the Mage as my noble champion.

All the while I was doing this, I was able to find a way to purchase the Naxxramas adventure, but had to wait for the funds I added to process. I decided to pass this time by playing another arena and I could not be more happy I decided to do so.

Having not drafted a fireball, flamestrike, or any legendaries, I was somewhat held back with how well this deck would do. Looking at all of the synergy I had in this deck (especially for secrets), I felt I might be able to squeeze out 7 or 8 wins if I was lucky. To my surprise, I began this arena 8-0! I was starting to second guess myself, but then again, I hadn't really thought about how lucky I would be with the Flamewaker (killing Stranglethorn Tiger while stealthed???) or mech combos.

After 8-0, my deck seemed to hit a brick wall, and my score had swiftly changed to 8-2 (the game for second loss was due to the opponent top-decking a polymorph and saving themself, as I was then 1-off lethal with only 2 life left and failed to top-deck any damage myself). I was confused at this point, but carried on and finished strong with a 12-2 record.

I am very excited to finally share this accomplishment with others, and surprising enough (if you didn't see the pictures), I got my second ever legendary from one of the packs as well (although I don't foresee myself ever using it, lol). ^_^

Now it's time to play the Naxxramas adventure and create some decks to climb the ladder! :laugh:

Nice draft. Mad scientist/kirin tor mage/2x mirror entity must have resulted in some good plays. Flamewaker probably kicked ass with so many frostbolts.

That looks like a decent mage deck. Only lacking flamestrike, blizzard and/or nova. No SS of the reward?

Yeah. You should've looked at the pictures and saw the opening hand for my very first game.

My opinion of the deck changed very quickly after that match, lol.

I listed that in the original post.

Also, the rewards are included in the spoiler.

Holy moly, congratulations! I usually hate facing mages in arena personally, but its a good way to get a good result in arena if you draft good (like you did) I've reached 9 wins (druid) at my highest so I still have a little way to go

It's been a crazy last week or two for me. My best arena key ever was 6, so I started doing things so I'd be able to play arena a lot more and achieve the dream. I had a deck that went 8 wins, two 7, another 8, one 10, one 11, and now one 12. All I've done is kept trying and I still don't know how I got so lucky to earn 12 wins with this deck. Yes, it had a lot of synergy and was very powerful, but missing some specific cards I was quite surprised.
