1. Everyone loves arena

2. 23:16 D R O O L I N G N O O B S

3. That the forest aid play was incredible, i would had lost that game

4. We need more!

5. Why would that warrior not kill a token for 10 armor though? Kargath had ONE JOB!

6. Does anyone know what the average Deck score is for Arena on HearthArena? I just drafted a Warrior deck with a score of 82 and it is probably the best deck I've ever drafted (granted I don't play arena that often)

7. So everyone just casually has highlander decks with alextrassa in arena?

8. Lol the misplays.

9. T H E I N F E C T E D M A N

10. Yay another arena.

11. I’ll be waiting for the day you get a leegndary card option

12. Trump should do a custom card review again, we are dry on those

13. I have never seen the "choose one" cards from Oasis Surger before (8:18). I've seen the card played hundreds of times, but not once did the person actually choose either of it's options.

14. Welcome back arena trump!

15. Dragonqueen Alexstraza is quickly becoming my one of least favorite cards of all time; you can't even escape her in Arena. Highlander as a concept is so fucking dumb and needs to be done away with, especially if it begets cards like her.

16. There is another card that crashes the game,”Scarlet Purifier.” Don’t play this card, same thing with Ethereal Conjurer.

17. man calles the audience a bad player when you have a phrase named after you for making trades that cost you many a game. I mean you had an open board to play a divine shield/windfury card and the other side had 26 health with the odds of them having a kill card on paly being next to nothing you could have won the game their.

18. What happened to the anti spoiler system?

19. I had a lot of fun posting my game last time, so I'll try again. 😀
    The two cards this time are:
    (1:47) Bone Wraith (against Rocket Augmerchant and Dalaran Mage) [Sticky Stall vs Flexibility/Ping]
    (3:42) Infectious Sporeling (against Frenzied Felwing and Kobold Geomancer) [Weird Removal vs ~0 Cost Minion]

    Game 1
    (N/A) Bone Wraith wasn't drawn or played this game.
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 2
    (N/A) Bone Wraith wasn't drawn or played this game.
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 3
    (N/A) Bone Wraith wasn't drawn or played this game.
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 4
    (16:51) Bone Wraith was drawn (The early game flexibility didn't matter much on draw.)
    (17:23) Infectious Sporeling was drawn (The other options wouldn't have matter much this early in the game.)
    (17:48) Bone Wraith was played (Augmerchant would have allowed for a "fast" answer to the Frozen Shadoweaver, but at the cost of two cards (i.e. combined with Rising Winds), so this was the best option this game.)
    (18:46) Infectious Sporeling was played (Given the damage on board that could go face, he could have played a 3/2 minion instead of the Sporeling. Given how the plays worked out, it appears that the opponent attempted to play around the Sporeling, sacrificing minions, board clears and a Fire Elemental to take out one minion lends to support that the Infectious Sporeling was the best option this game.)
    Game 5
    (25:42) Bone Wraith was drawn (On draw, it wouldn't have affected the play for either option.)
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 6
    (26:41) Infectious Sporeling was drawn. (Could've been used for early game pressure, but Trump values it as removal. Other options would have been unplayable on turn 1.)
    (27:10) Infectious Sporeling was played. (A good concept on paper, arguably should have been played earlier, but comparing it to the other options, this was the best choice for this game.)
    (N/A) Bone Wraith wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 7
    (34:32) Bone Wraith was drawn. (On draw, the Augmerchant might have allowed Trump to establish a board in this position, but he might have still chosen hero power, valuing the utility of the Augmerchant over its presence on board.)
    (35:21) Bone Wraith was played. (This was the best option at this board state, he would have probably fallen behind if he didn't have a good minion to play at this point in the game.)
    (36:25) Infectious Sporeling was drawn and played this turn. (Frenzied Felwing would probably have had roughly the same result as Infectious Sporeling in this position. Trump would have ended up taking an addition 2 damage, and he would have probably used the Oasis Surger to trade into the Cobalt Spellkin, which would mean that he would have a 4/3 Felwing instead of a 4/2 Surger on board after the play had finished. Sporeling was therefore a neutral choice compared to the other options.)
    Game 8
    (37:31) Bone Wraith was part of the mulligan phase. (He might have considered keeping the Augmerchant at this point instead of tossing the Bone Wraith back into the deck. I'm not sure if his plays would have changed for the early turns. It should be noted that in the world where he kept the Augmerchant, the draws would be at the very least delayed, so its usefulness can really only be stated on drawn or when the Bone Wraith is eventually played. Therefore, it is wholly unfair to rate its apparent usefulness beyond 1-2 turns past the mulligan phase.)
    (42:09) Embiggen buffed Infectious Sporeling was drawn and played. (If Frenzied Felwing had been selected, he would have had to either leave up the Pyromancer, or be unable to play it as it would cost 6 mana on draw. As an interesting note, a 4 mana, 4/4 Kobold Geomancer would have been an excellent play on this turn, but he wouldn't have drafted it against the Felwing and the Sporeling.)
    (N/A) Bone Wraith wasn't drawn again or played this game.
    Game 9
    (51:02) Embiggen buffed Bone Wraith was drawn and played. (Best option for this game, other options would have been terrible for tempo, and he probably would have been beaten.)
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.
    Game 10
    (53:34) Bone Wraith was kept during the Mulligan phase. (He probably would have kept the Augmerchant, but its possible based on the fact that he already had solid turns 1, 2, and 3 plays, that he might have considered mulliganing it away. I'm going to rate it based on the fact that he kept it, instead of the other option.)
    (53:55) Having Augmerchant instead of Bonewraith might have altered the play on this turn allowing for value trades and maintaining early game pressure.
    (56:18) Bone Wraith is played. (Probably would have been more useful as an Augmerchant even here as he could have either taken out the other Augmerchant or potentially used the ping to clear out the Dragonmaw with a combination trading with the Gyrocopter.)
    (N/A) Infectious Sporeling wasn't drawn or played this game.

    All in all, Bone Wraith performed moderately better than expected compared to the Rocket Augmerchant especially due to its positive synergy with Embiggen. However, Infectious Sporeling was pretty fringe overall and its utilities didn't outright outweigh the usefulness that a 4 mana, 3/2 that could cost 0 would have added to the deck. Due to the fact that Infectious Sporeling is both difficult to play and to play around it could be considered more powerful, but it feels more like a liability than a consistently useful tool.

20. It's always nice to have Trump back playing area.

21. What is the name of the add on he uses?

22. Looove the long videos! Keep it up Trump 🙂

23. stumbled over his old arena videos from 2014. god this game was so so so much better back then….

24. 29:56 Trump roasted him so hard lmao

25. I love watching arena! Please do more

26. I wish I could play arena but it's been inaccessible for a week now

27. Same number of class cards as the last deck tho…

28. 4:54 "My grandpa's deck has no weak cards, Kaiba!"

29. 45:28 miss 4 damage and pay a game xD

30. That middle mage… one of the craziest decks I've ever seen in arena

31. I wish they had that arena tracker for the Mac.

32. Loving watching Trump play these arena runs. They're really fun, and good long videos.
    I'd also love to see him do some more Runeterra now that it's officially launched

33. I’ve been missing arena runs since kripp switched to battlegrounds. It’s nice to see them here

34. Arena yay!

35. Gets a much better deck than last time.
    Also ends with 7 wins.

36. I always seem to get 7 wins too, drives me nuts. I always seem to lose game 1 in an absolutely absurd deck too.

37. Arena gang rise up
