I dont think it is, its just RNG. For example, when Dual Arena hit, i wanted to play Rogue, and i was offered Rogue only after 12th draft, and mind you that i didnt get it offered till then on 1st nor 2nd round of picks. But it was just "bad luck". Happens all the time.
Over the past month I have only been offered Priest, Warlock, Warrior, Hunter, Paladin and Druid. Not a single Mage or Shaman. Is anyone getting Mage as an option?
And I am also either getting slim pickings or I'm terrible at drafting :D The rounds I win, I scrape through, usually with the help of some top decking. One opponent played 3 North Sea Kraken. I think a lucky Imp-losion on his Giant Mastodon let me swarm through.
Not sure if Im misreading something but if you just want HS at the top menu bar - you can right click and "Remove from Favorites" and get rid of all icons except HS. If that's not enough, you can just click the pixelly box on the top left and check/uncheck the stars so that HS is the only one that is starred. Is this not intuitive still?
Regarding the region thing, yes, they did make it an extra click for you to change regions. Send feedback so they know something has gotten worse. This is a beta. Give them the feedback they want.
I was actually referring to the top left-most Battle.net options dropdown. Don't think I've ever clicked there before. There are several other profile and account menu items lurking about. It probably makes a lot more sense to people that play other games and do other things with it on a daily basis. Anyway, I found it.
I did leave feedback - I like to assume that's what they're after in a beta :)
Let me just preface this to say that I'm not particularly endorsing this new feature request, I just like the challenge.
You have the text as a standalone property, and can render it as part of an HTML block? Then use something like line wrap/count fiddle to work out how many lines there are.. It might be exactly as accurate as the in-game graphics, but close enough (and presumably what matters is how it displays on the internet, not in the game?)
Not really an expert on arena, so don't know if it was a strong deck or not. As you can see from choice overview, I pretty much went with the highest rated card, only deviating for the 9 drop. Maybe just lucky!
They call them Feature cards, and you can specifically search for them. In fact, the screenshot on the beginner guide How To: Collection Filters could probably do with updating to show it - the option is missing from the opening screenshot.
I tried to use the search form to find out about how to make deck lists or use shortcodes. I wondered if it might be useful to have a help section, linked to from the main menu, containing information about the site features available?
(I'd be happy to try help contribute content, if you want)
Edit: The process to update dust costs on all decks has begun. It'll take a while to go through but it should make finding cheap deck options much easier.
Amazing :)
It's working! My Doom in the Tomb deck is now cheaper than my Uldum one.

The real way to fix this is once we have collection data on the site so we can tell you what a "budget" deck for you could be.
I agree that would let anyone get a relative budget, but say I wanted to look for something for a friend? There are times when you might need or want to know the total cost of the deck.
The problem with that is most new players don't have those freebies.
From the Blizzard site:
IMPORTANT NOTE: While these cards were re-introduced during the Doom in the Tomb event, they will remain in Standard past the event's conclusion, until the launch of our next major update. More details will be shared, including exact end dates and times, in the coming weeks
I think they are available to everyone. You can't craft them or disenchant them, and they will then disappear.
I was looking into creating a budget deck. When selecting it from the menu, it filters with a max dust cost of 1600. However, if you use the feature cards (which everyone gets for free), then the deck cost will probably never be below 1600. Is there a way to incorporate this into the deck costs?
You're saying I need to just play more area? :
Xuli, Kyan, Lars and Foz say hello :D

I only play HS. All I use the app for is to launch HS.
It is surprisingly unintuitive where this option is. There are a lot of menus and dropdowns to click around on.
The only thing I ever change, when clicking the launch/play button, is the region dropdown. They've put that 3 clicks away.
So, yes, it looks prettier, but for my particular use case, it is a step back.
Still, it is beta, so things can change :)
Will the pre-order bundles be available in-game (using coins)?
PDT works out as UTC-7 at the moment, so start time is 19:00 Friday evening.
Maybe there are many more arena players, who's drafting skills have improved?

Hopped in to try it. Won my first game. Played fast, but, yeah, still slow. Got a golden and 2 rares in the pack. Happy with that, not going back.
My first ever 12-win - Area Run Results
Not really an expert on arena, so don't know if it was a strong deck or not. As you can see from choice overview, I pretty much went with the highest rated card, only deviating for the 9 drop. Maybe just lucky!
I was wondering if there were guides or stats on when is the best time to play Scavenging Hyena.
Should I mulligan for it and drop it on turn 2. Or mulligan it away and wait until much later, trying to make sure I can immediately power it up?
As I play on a budget, and don't have *that* much time to grind away, my target is rank 15.
I got to 12 with my Doom Hunter deck:
Back down to 14 now, I think. I get totally wrecked by all the latest Doom decks at those ranks.
So, with free arena tickets, I dipped my toes in that. Generally fairly average, but managed back-to-back 12-2 + 11-3 runs.
