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:
