Colossal Shenanigans in Arena

My last Arena draft was a shaman-mage deck, with the first pick being between Ambassador Faelin and Gaia, the Techtonic (the mage-mech colossal).

Maybe I should have just taken Gaia, since it’s a solid pick, but I took Faelin, because dredge is in the meta, and I was wondering if I could get more value out of Faelin.

Ironically, the first time I played Faelin, my opponent played Disguised K’Thir into Crabatoa, which Faelin had just put on the bottom of my deck. I could not overcome the value he got out of that play.

To support Faelin, I managed to draft one dredge card, Overplanner, and Caricature Artist to help pull out colossals from the bottom of the deck. Caricature fetched Snoozin’ Zookeeper three times instead of a colossus.

Some matches went long enough that my opponents almost went to fatigue. The deck went 6-3. Here are some screenshots from from this run:

In a couple of earlier drafts, I got to play Glugg the Gulper a lot:

Its probably always better to go for the legendary that is good as a stand alone , i would have picked gaia i think
