So, I decided to try out Hearth Arena because I'm just terrible at Arena, and my picks just always seemed to be wrong. I never checked what I had always drafted, and just went with gut choices that didn't form a coherent decklist. So, this is from my first try with Hearth Arena, and even though I didn't do well, I figured I might as well share it and my other drafts so maybe I can get some feedback. This draft was done taking 100% of Hearth Arena's suggestions, I believe. In future drafts I think I deviate a little here and there from their suggestions, but this was my first go with it.

Pick #2 - Dread Infernal over Dark Iron Dwarf or Flame Juggler

#5, #10, #16, #17, #18, #19 and #20 seem really sketchy to me, and some I'm of the fence on.
I think it really wanted 3-drops, although I'd rather have raptor than a 1/4. I really don't know about Annoy-a-Tron and Summoning Portal. Is SP supposed to be good? All of the four options you were provided with were reasonable to good cards.
