I've been getting a few requests to commentate my arena runs, so here's a little something to make up for the lack it. Thought it would be a nice change of rhythm from the weekly overview segments.
Here's the full drafting thought process of my 9-2 Druid run-
Murloc decks are the early cheese, the all-in of Hearthstone. Like Starcraft, it's a b*tch to play against, but fun to execute. There's all kinds of murloc decks out there today, but personally I feel Warlock is the most efficient fit. With a murloc aggro deck, the mentality is to draw and play as many cards as possible to end the game as quickly as possible.

Now that I’ve hit Master 3 star ranked along with Grandmaster in arena, I feel a little more comfortable sharing my opinions and offering tips. Today will be a simple one, just throwing some general thoughts out there. This is by no means ‘correct’, it’s simply my experience so far with the game.
