Dreads is a cool guy but he's spreading a pretty bad false narrative here. He really likes to exaggerate what you need to go 12, and that makes the state of Arena sound much worse than it actually is. The reality is, a lot of decks CAN go 12 but just not all of them WILL. I'm not here to say Arena is perfect with the superdecks and all that, but their existence actually contributes to this reality. Any deck that CAN go 12, can also get unlucky with matchups, superdeck opponents, game RNG, etc., and go 4. You absolutely do not NEED to retire for a broken deck to go 12, if you're drafting and playing well. But you may not get it on the first try of a potential 12 win deck. You may save time by retiring some of the lowrolls, but if you're retiring often, you're probably also retiring away some of your potential 12's. Several of the decks you guys retired looked like potential 12's. I had a few decks that I thought were really bad go 12. Personally, over 82 runs in this meta with no retires, I've been going 12 abnormally often (18%), even though my win average isn't that great. And my 12 rate would probably be higher if I wasn't playing drunk for the entire first half of the season... It's ludicrous for dreads to say that only 10% of decks CAN go 12. Absolutely not true. Probably 30-40% of decks have the potential to go 12. If anything, it's higher than ever before. I realize there's a lot of bad info and misunderstanding out there, so I'd be happy to clear some of it up if there's interest in that. I'm pretty easy to find.
