CW has a hard time versus Priest, Handlock, and Paladin. It's super effective against Hunter and Zoo, but with Hunter going down, it won't be as prevalent since it has weak matchups against those three decks. Conveniently, Paladin has strong matchups against Handlock and Control Warrior. The ladder will be mostly Handlock.
Has anyone else been having issues with minions with targetted battlecries lately? I just habitually drag my cards when playing them, but lately when dragging a minion like Fire Elemental onto the field, the game will cancel playing the card. Normally, I can just drag it onto the field and then click again for the battlecry. What gives?
Also, I don't know what's up, but I feel like I became a thousand times better at this game overnight. I'm at a higher rank than I've ever been and gone from averaging four wins in an arena to seven or eight. Feels good, man. But now that I'm at the high ranks, I feel like I'm struggling due to not owning that many cards. Is it cool to ask for advice on spending my dust?

Zoo is the cheapest deck you can run, since it uses no legendaries or epics. You can run incomplete versions of some decks with out the legendaries, like Paladin, Priest, and Shaman. You could also save your dust for legendaries you might play in multiple decks, like Rag, Sylvanas, and Carine.
I'm running zoo at rank 6 right now and its working out pretty well. Alternatively, you could go for an "anti-meta" deck and rely on cheap cards that counter common meta decks.
Been playing with a Shaman deck that I've been really enjoying lately, but good old Zoolock interests me too. Would it be better for me to focus on finishing one deck first or build them both as convenient?
Also, save and focus on finishing Naxxramas or roll the dice and play arena?
Well Zoo is basically free, and a lot of the cards are the same as what you would use in Shaman. Go for cards that you'll use in multiple decks first, then fill in situation cards for either deck second. Since both Zoo and Shaman are more control than combo, not having specific cards is no where near as troubling as it might be in miracle rouge or handlock.
If you've done the first 2 wings of Nax, you're probably ok for a shaman deck. Not having Kel-Thuzad is fine, but you'll want Sludge Belchers. Some people will run undertaker, but as shamans have very little card draw lowering the curve of your deck can actually work out against you.

This is me, too. Last mage draft I got none of the above AND no polymorphs AND no mage epics.
Oh yeah, I didnt get a polymorph either, or any epics/legendaries. I went 1-3
Okay, idk if RNG hates me or if they fucked with the system, but I've got another mage deck with NONE of these things. 0-2 with a pile of bad creatures and a couple of sub-par removal spells.
So I've been on a bit of a high lately and came crashing down with a 1-3 arena finish. The worst kind of losses, where you feel like you couldn't have done anything about it. But afterwards I pulled my first legendary from the reward pack. Immediately went out, put my new Malygos in a crappy miracle deck, and proceeded to Sinister Strike people for 8 damage. I finally understand why people enjoy playing that deck.
