I have played maybe half a dozen constructed games this past week so I'm sure I just haven't run into that yet. I liked it as an answer to killing 4-strength minions, especially against druid. Naturally it seems like an awful play against priest and I never played it against paladin before seeing at least one kodo drop.
But yeah, once I get enough dust to craft Sylvannis then Maexxna is who gets booted to make room.
I've found her to be a fun play in arena though

Maexxna is sort of ok against handlock and druid since it trades well into twilight drake and Ancients but the 6 slot is just rather crowded, hunters have savannah highmane at 6
Also, anyone have creative ways to counter BM players? if people start spamming emotes at me I deliberately slowplay both winning and losing situations because I feel BM players should be actively punished so that they'll change their ways or ragequit (both being positive value outcomes), but I wonder if anyone has something more creative

Although to be honest I think in almost every game* I've played Maexxna against a druid they have burned the FoN/Savage Roar combo to kill it.
*Sample size: 3 games in the rank 11-13 range

Well, I just went 0-3 in arena. As Druid.
Sometimes I really hate arena.

I had a streak with 0-3, 2-3 and then 1-3. Was thinking I either had lost it, or the rest of the world got better. But...no.

Damn it arena, I'm a warlock and rejected dalaran mage 5 times already this draft, stop offering me this card. Also it would be nice if one of my 2 flame imps would ever show up in my opening hand?

yeah, 2-3 after being forced to draft a ton of cards with no synergy

Yeah I started 0-2 for the first time in aaaages last night with what I thought (and still do think!) is a pretty reasonable rogue deck. I won game 3 and I still think it's good for a few more wins. Sometimes you just come up against really good decks in the first couple of rounds...

after going 12, 10, 11 last weekend I'm 2 and 3 so far today, so I guess it's a bad weekend for everyone. (Terrible packs too.) Good luck RB!
I did get a hilarious priest victory though, I had an empty board and shaman a full one but it was 0/2 egg, 1/2 deathrattle spider, 1/1 argent squire, 1/1 totem, 1/2 sludge taunt thing, and two more totems
I didn't have any cards in hand that made sense to play so I just healed myself for about 3 turns while he could only do 4 damage, until I did a thoughtsteal to set up a 4/9 twilight drake, followed by the stolen earth elemental next turn
Shaman suicided a couple of 1/1's to play his own earth elemental and some other creature, but rage quit after I traded off his big minions and healed my elemental and drake with circle.

I just played 3 Loathebs against a miracle rogue while playing giants and Twilight Drakes.
I feel kinda dirty afterwards.
