For arenas, pick your first 10 ignoring curve, just take the most powerful card (within its cost bracket) and then start worrying about it.
Never pass on an Acidic Swamp Ooze or Shattered Sun Cleric. Spellbreaker is great too. (Shuts down most legendary/epic cards, removes buffs and taunt, wins games)
Don't overload with situational cards, like if you draft priest and get 2 mind controls, don't take more than 1 SW: Death or else you'll be flooded with unusable cards.
If you ever think to yourself "I'll pass on it now, and grab one later" give your head a shake and take it, you don't know if there are 0 or 10 in the next 20 picks.
You can also watch some streams/videos to get more insight on which picks are good, Kripp and Trump do a value town video on youtube/twitch every now and then. They aren't the end-all authority on arena play, but for a beginner their views on certain cards/decks can help you understand things better.
Seriously, In the last 2 years I can name every time I've taken a drink, First at a christmas part with family, I had to a big can of Canadian, 2 tall glasses of Spiced Rum and a bit of wine with dinner. Slightly Tipsy because of the mixing. Then I had a bunch when I went to worlds for LoL, There was one day I had 2 Screw drivers, a couple vodka 7s after like 6 hours of walking on an empty stomach. also slightly tipsy.
Then finally a Pint of Guinness while waitiing for Thor 2 showing to start at the theater. So this was a step up, I've never drank so much in my life. I can't really tell how good the video is because I'm still out of it. But I laughed my ass off watching the highlight.
*edit*-
if someone can count the number of shots I had that would be awesome, I can't keep focused on the video enough to keep a list. Anytime I took Kraken instead of JD it was a half shot (1.5oz shotglass so .75)
Golden Common Half JD
Golden Rare JD
Epic JD
Legendary Kraken
Golden Epic/Legendary Kraken AND JD

I was gonna drink anyways :P This just made it more fun. Had a friend watching the stream and drinking with me so that made it more interesting. Drunken debate about how good Hearthstone cards are makes for fun times.
