I've been playing it quite a bit recently. At best I was rank 4 before the reset. It's kind of frustrating to play constructed at the higher levels if you lack legendaries, as I do. So many games I'm thinking "OK, he simply has better cards and wins because of that." So I try to play mostly arena, and only use constructed when I'm out of gold. Eventually when arena gives me some better cards I can focus more on constructed.
It's very addicting and fun, but it takes some time to memorise all the bullshit cards out there, which can be frustrating as hell to meet for the first time, like you think you're winning hard and then 1 card fucks you up and you just have to remember what that card was and what it does for future games.
I wish there was a bit less randomness involved, but at the same time the randomness makes a lot of games stressful in a good way, and I suppose without it the game would feel more stale.
The biggest flaw with constructed, in my opinion, is the damn gimmick decks people can make. There's one-turn-kill decks which just buy time until they have all the cards they need to kill your hero in one turn. Then there's super rush decks, like Warlock murloc decks etc. All these gimmick decks take 0 skill and are incredibly boring to play against.
If you get the beta, definitely check it out. It's gonna be open beta rather soon, I believe, so you don't have to wait all that long if you don't get an invite.
