just had to share this battle I had yesterday... No, not gloating... Just that for me, it was the sweetest win yet, especially since I just started a few months back.
First thing I noticed... Hey, my opponent's hero is animated aka gold hero. Deep inside, I knew it was not going to be an easy one. Looks like I'll be dropping rank, I told myself.
Match starts. As always, I greet my opponent with a "Hello" (or whatever the Paladin guy says).
I got a threat from that Warrior opponent. Ya, not a hello but a threat. Looks like it's going to be a mean battle...
Turn 4, I had buffed a minion with +4/+4 and thought I'm doing great. That's when things started to go downhill for me.
It felt like every turn, my opponent seems to have a legendary drop. I know there was one where it will spawn a 2/2 taunt minion at the end of turn. There's also the one that buffed his hero power to give him 4 armour each turn.There's also the one that gave me a card which deals me 10 damage when I draw it (and I did get that card mid game). There as also the one that cannot attach but will deal 8 damage to random enemy. And I think probably a few more that I could not remember.
I was on the defensive most of the time.
It was not helped by the fact that at every turn, I felt like I was being taunted. Opponent kept spamming "I'm sorry" thingy. At one stage, I was about to just hit the CONCEDE button but because of the smug attitude I was getting (that "I'm sorry" thingy), I told myself to just go to the end and see what happens. I had clicked this "cogwheel" thing and almost hit CONCEDE button...
I guess my defensive moves paid off. OK, there were two occasions that his BRAWL helped... A bit. And I also had my share of board clears -- mainly with Equality + Consecration/ Paladin hero power.
But that buffed hero power and the cards that granted him armor + card draw, etc...
Surprisingly, I managed to drag on...
...Till... My opponent ran out of cards. One of his last cards was this legend that let him draw 3 cards and put any minion directly into battle field. So, that got him on the fatigue expressway.
I recall the last BRAWL was towards the end and he got lucky, ending up with his minion (down to one health).
I guess I got lucky as my next card (I still had a few cards left), I drew a "Muster for Battle". Weapon finished off his minion. He had nothing left. I had 3 minions and more health than my opponent.
He conceded.
Sharing this to let new players know... There's sometimes a glimmer of hope. But ya, most of the time, I'd just have hit the CONCEDE button myself.
My deck? I had Tirion (I was lucky to pull him from a pack) and Emperor guy (from adventure). Nothing fancy... Something that I just made up and can't get me past rank 17...
