Arena Deck Testing- Visible Hands https://elementscommunity.org/forum/index.php?topic=28579.msg365158#msg365158

I think it would be helpful for us to be able to see our arena deck's hand when we are testing it. This becomes especially useful to understand what cards the AI will prioritize playing, or possibly which cards are clogging up our deck's hand. It would help you determine which cards you have too much of, or too little of in the deck, etc.

Bump.

That's an excellent idea.

+1 on this suggestion. Some decks are played so bad by AI and you can spot how to improve your deck while testing it. Of course it would be nice if you can do all these before submitting - cause you may even change the whole deck if you see some "donkey plays" from the AI.

I'm currently using this deck to "spy" on my arena deck to see how the AI is doing. Lots of healing to make sure you survive for a while to see what the AI prioritizes playing.

+1 for me, too. It can be difficult to build a good deck without resorting to the same old rainbows. Would help a lot to watch it in action.
