I feel like threaten is the best emote for not being misinterpreted as a smug asshole. And it's the funniest one too. E.g. turn two, use dagger mastery, attack opponent's face for 1. Turn 3, attack their face for 1 again, use dagger mastery again, "I WILL BE YOUR DEATH!", pass turn.
I also like saying Hello when the game starts, Well Played when it's about to end, and Sorry when my opponent's own Mad Bomber or the like screws them badly. And I occasionally try to use Oops to point out opponent mistakes to them, but I'm not sure how well that works.

On the flip side spamming "Thanks" after Mind Control is the best emote for (correctly) being interpreted as a smug asshole.
Asides from "Hello" at the start and "Well Played" at the end the only emote I really use is "Oops" after an obvious misplay on my part. I will also always thank a Priest who heals me on Turn 2.

Oh yes, you always have to thank them when they heal you, that's important.

And when you're a priest healing them on turn 2, it goes great with "The Light shall burn you!"

Oh, whenever I get Jaraxxus in arena, I BM like crazy! Especially if the card just blatantly is the only thing that won me the game. I try to always get in an "OBLIVION!!!" after he's dead. Also I like to remind him just who he's facing a couple of times after dropping the card with the greeting. And "MISTAKE!!" is powerful stuff.

So I just had my first ever 12 win arena (I'm really not very good, I have great understanding from watching steams but I get way too frazzled when I play) and I had to share it with someone. As soon as I drew this I knew it was 12-0 or I was a failure. As it turned out, I only went 12-1 because I misplayed and let a shaman have tempo because I didn't want to "waste" a Frostbolt. But here's the decklist - I'm pretty sure a blind monkey could get 12 wins with this deck.
![[Image: magedeck.jpg]](https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/183296643/Random%20Stuff/magedeck.jpg)
The not shown card is 1 Mirror Image, which I think is actually a pretty underrated arena card. I actually picked it over a Venture Co because I already had enough big minions at that point. The Mana Wyrms were really key in drawing removal once roided up a bit with cheap spells. I only played Baron and Ony in the same game once and the dude started spamming threatens at me (I was so sure this deck was going to own that I didn't squelch anyone) which I found hilarious.
The funny thing is this was my 3rd arena of the day, I earlier went 1-3 with a druid that was way too spell heavy and 2-3 with a shaman that had no win condition. I was pretty frustrated and this was the last of my gold. I don't usually take Mage either, because I have a weird fixation about not being cookie cutter but I had 2 quests for Mage dominance so I said why the hell not.
Anyway, not all that interesting but I'm definitely never getting 2 Frostbolts, 2 Fireballs, 2 Flamestrikes and 2 Legendaries ever again, so I had to record it somewhere. 
I've got some dirt on my shoulder, can you brush it off for me?

There's Mirror Image... and then there's Mirror Image when you have 3 Mana Wyrms! I don't think anyone has ever been happy to see a Mana Wyrm + Coin + Mirror Image on turn 1.

That's borderline broken for an arena deck. Mana Wyrms are my favorite 1-drop for a reason - never bad, and can break a game wide open.
