You can have several Shamans, like I have 2 mage decks now ^^ Like do you even play Rogue? Why u need a deck slot for her? ;P
I also don't play Warlock at the moment. Nor Hunter.

Just finished up an Arena run with Pally, went 8 wins  and my deck actually wasn't that good. 200 Gold and 25 Dust reward so I am happy.
In my last match up vs Rogue on Turn 4 my opponent had a nasty combo for me. Backstab my guy into 2 Delfias Ringleaders, the 2/2 for 2mana who brings out a 2/1 if Combo'd.
Top deck for me on my Turn 4 and I pull one of my 3 Consecrations and wipe his board lol. I actually lost this match to believe it or not.
Anyway glad with my result as lately I cannot seem to get more than 5 wins when I used to reliably get 7.

Not that it's good but I enjoy playing my Rouge deck nowadays. Besides I'd rather keep a deck for each class in case of, you know, dailies...
I recently had a chat with my programmer friend and he said that making new slots is not hard from a game codes perspective, but he says that in his opinion the problem lies in Blizzards fear that giving more deck slots will create more data per each player (all players info is stored via their databases). This might lead to system "(10)Overload" (Ultimate Shaman spell).
Or it might be the problem with the game code itself. It might be easy on the UI level, but hard on the database level for instance... When first creating the game they might've not foreseen this feature and in programming, when a program does not have some features, it must be re-coded from scratch.
That's why they're proably so sluggish when it comes to implementing this feature. And seeing the continious problems with European servers, this might actually be the case.

Great, that means it's even harder to get good results in Arena nowadays. I'm not touching that in the near future :/

First wing of the new adventure:
Djinn: What a boring encounter.. Too easy..
Phaerix: A fun, but easy encounter as well.. I think he might be more fun on Heroic.
Escape: Finally a great battle. Not that hard on normal, but what a fun experience and different take on a fight.. I am looking forward to trying it on HC.

Yeah, kinda sad when you think that you paid 700 gold to have around 15 minutes of expierience (not counting Heroic mode). Fun expierience nevertheless  And the new cards are nice, I've already put some of them in my decks to give them a try
The new Discovery mechanic seems nice. Strategically wise it's full RNG, but at least it makes some games that more interesting because of variety...
EDIT: I've cleared all three Heroic bosses from the first wing in around 1,5h which I find a really good result
1st one was a breeze, normal one can be defeated with every possible deck, Heroic version is a Facehunters dream
2nd one was a bit harder but I managed to defeat him with your standard buff Priest (the Taunt exploit does not work anymore, for those of you who don't know).
The temple on the other hand... yeah, that was really something! I've used a netdeck called Delayadin which is a Paladin deck based around holding off those minions with cheap Taunts. The problem is that you need a perfect draw, especially Humility + Consecration works (though there are those divine shield minions :/). It's best to keep this combo until last turn when he spams those insects, but surviving until then is really hard. Best combo for surviving is Annoy+Repentance (four taunts in one  ). I've also finally found a use for my Enter the Colliseum, it cleared the board for me leaving only that 10/10 statue (which dies the turn after). But in truth, my MVP was Lay on Hands. It let me survive with 4 hp, and helped draw cards which finished those pesky minions. Boy, that was really intense

Heroics were so easy..
Flamewaker mage on first boss.
I used the buff-deathlord priest on second and it worked - bug or not.
Escape boss I had to try twice, but a basic freeze mage kept me alive and well
EDIT: I am trying this deck out atm.

Hmm, Freeze Mage. I didn't think of that... at some point I was also thinking about a Ramp Druid of sorts. Nevertheless this Heroic mode was probably the fastest to complete by me
And this deck of Yours seems interesting @emil. I have most of the cards for it (and I'm still looking for another deck to throw Eydis in), only miss some single doubles which wouldn't be that hard to substitute I think...
Damn I really would like to have more deck slots, I definately won't touch my Dragon Paladin!
Nevertheless, tell me your impressions as soon as playtest it enough. I'm especially interested if it's good against aggro/zoo (seems like it at least)...

When I saw it had Eydis in it, I wanted to try it because I really love the pressure she can put on an enemy with the right amount of buffs.
But then I saw those djinns and I knew a lot of people have said they are too slow to ever be used, but they fit perfectly in this deck. After a few games it has been really fun to play, but if it is viable yet I do not know..

Damn, RENO JACKSON is a Beast!
I didn't want to belive it until I actually tried him...
He just won me three matches in a row on Ladder. Well I had a bit of luck, cause I played a bit risky surviving on 1 HP once for instance, but it was part of the strategy. I'm playing a controlish Warlock that is based on surviviving till late game (kinda Handlockish), throwing some Giants, healing with Reno and snowballing with Mal'ganis etc. Jaraxxus is a back up plan. Of course the deck has only one card of each so I can always throw Reno when I need him...
Throwing Reno by himself is really OP, but I actually try to wait for the "8 mana auto-concede combo" (cheaper with Thaurissan ): Reno + Youthful Brewmaster. OWPE!
Of course there are some counters (Beneath the Grounds is probably the biggest of them), opponent might have a big board presence so he'll end you quickly nevertheless (though that's what AoE spells are for) and I can always miscalculate with HP (or opponent will top-deck a Fireball), but it's an incredible felling when you play and soak up damage while knowing that you will play Reno when things get ugly. This single card is really the pinnacle of Control. Nice one Blizzard!
Oh and I'm really enjoying that Palajinn deck @emil
PS: Of course I know very well that Reno can be used on both sides, but so far I didn't meet a single opponent with him in deck. Gotta use him till players find a way to counter him

I have faced Reno too many times Last was my Priest vs his Control Mage, we were both on our last 5 lives or so, and bam! he throws down Reno! I was like holyyyy sheeet this is gonna be nearly impossible to win, but lets try. I have to remove Reno, because I am so low on life. But ahaa, he had a secret on. Dublicate. Three Reno's in one game is just too much lol. GG.

BTW do you guys get the feeling that something is not right with dailies? I'm begining to belive the theory that Blizzard purposedly made it so that there are a lot more 40 gold dailies then others. Till not so long ago I was getting 50 or 60 g dailies at lest once in three or even two tries, and now I'm getting almost only 40's. I really do have such a feeling, but I don't have a way to confirm this with actual data. Do you think that it is a thing? You know, to make more people buy the adventure with real money?

Conspiracies mate. It's just a string of bad luck - just like in getting Legendaries. One month you get nothing, and suddenly you find 2 or 3 from packs in a row.

Clicky1
What can I say more (The best feeling in the world )
Plus I had a really intense fight with my Renolock vs a traditional Handlock. He had the obvious advantage (double removals) plus Giants gave him more "meat". It went on until we both of us had fatigue and double Jaraxxus (yes!), but I was more resourceful on my healing minions (though the guy also played very carefully, he kept a Giant and a Defender of Argus until the very end). A really great game that got me to rank 15! And I wanted to test Renolock against Handlock which is always a hard opponent for any deck...
This is how it ended
Clicky 2

I admit it. I had to do the Minecart adventure twice before I succeded The other battles were fun, but easy. Tougher then the first wing, but easy.

Damn, now I'm certain. Blizzard did "something" with those dailies. Aside from the one "Watch and Learn" quest (which equals 100 gold) for the past week I've been getting only 40g ones, even with rerolls. This has never happened to me before. This is definately made on purpose.
I'm very displeased with this, I was hoping to get the second wing this weekend, but this won't happen because I would have to grind a lot of those 3-win-10g ones, and I don't have time for that... Blizzard you will not get my money though

Today I managed to farm enough gold to get the second wing. The wing was fun and all, but it was only a short stop before getting my hands on the new cards. Those enabled me to create three new decks: Battlecry Shaman (entirely my design), Raptor Rouge and Reno Mage (both netdecks but tweaked by me a little).
I wanted to test them out, but I'm getting so much salt in the face (but suprisingly no Facehunters) that it's unbareable. Shamans with nothing but board clears (wtf is with their popularity recently?), Fatigue Warriors with Brawls (oh how I hate this card) and Freeze Mages which are not only irritating, but take forever to play against.
Way to ruin my day...
It seems that nowadays only my Palajinn deck is viable. I've been beating one opponent after another with it.

I have to sadly agree with this. In the last 7 days, including rerolls, I have only gotten 1 50g and 1 60g quest, all others have been super sucky 40g ones.
Previously I don't think it's been more than 1in4 odds of me getting a 40gold sucky so definite drop. I am barely halfway to opening first wing
