Arena #20
I was Offered: Druid/Mage/Shaman
I Picked: Druid


The Draft: Was offered several dumpster tier choices pretty early on in the draft, more or less ruining the quality of my deck. I decided to just focus on curving out since I definitely will not win the quality game. I was also offered Jade Idol like three freaking times but I passed on it each time because I assumed I would not draft any more Jade cards. Haha whoops. Honestly I still think it would be a bad card even if I got three of them, though. It's not something I'd ever want to topdeck. Even a 1 mana 3/3 would not be good late in the arena match. And they rarely ever go to fatigue so reshuffling is always the worst possible play. I did get Ultimate Infestation and The Boogeymonster. Despite trying to focus on making a good curve, arena decided this would be literally impossible for me. I was offered only 6-7 cost cards MULTIPLE times, and offered almost NO three drops the entire time. I ended up with only two 3-cost cards and a ton of heavy cards. Argh.

Guess I should mentally prepare myself to go 0-3 with a garbage deck for my 20th run. Although, to be fair, this is my 20th DOCUMENTED ON BOARD 8 run. Technically that last run was my 20th and I was perfectly happy with that one. So that's something.

Game 1: Vs Rogue. I went first. Unsurprisingly, I did not have much good early plays. Literally have almost no 1 or 3 drops. Arggghhh. The first card he plays is Duskboard though so uh maybe I'm not in too much trouble. Who the hell drafts Duskboar? Then again given some of the insanely bad choices I've been offered this might not be too insane. It's entirely possible this was the best out of his three picks at some point. Anyway I take 8 damage to the face right at the start of the match. I end up playing hero power pass on turn 3 and turn 4. Arrrrggghhhh. I seriously hate this deck. This is my least favorite deck I've drafted so far of all my documented runs. I then pulled Thrall, Deathseer off of Lotus Agents. Well alright then. He floods the board with a bunch of garbage and I have two huge minions in play. I combo Spreading Plague and Power of the Wild. Man it feels absolutely disgusting to completely flip the game by using a card that punishes my opponent for being in a winning position. I take some value trades and then play Thrall Deathseer to evolve and fully heal my minions. Basically highroll all of them so I save my hero power since I don't even want to further evolve any of these. He is not able to outvalue the insanity of Thrall Deathseer and Ultimate Infestation. Once again I feel completely disgusting and almost ashamed of myself. These are some of the things I've complained most about in arena. And I'm this poor guy's 0-0 opponent. Win.

Game 2: Vs Druid. I went Second. Weak opening hand again. No surprise there. I topdecked a 2 drop. Got Malfurion the Pestilent off of Lotus Agents this time. You literally could not make this shit up. I am being handed bullshit RNG victories... Feels bad. I even coined it out on turn 6. Dropped Boogeymonster behind a giant taunt. He actually had some pretty legit dragon synergy which helped him fight pretty hard. When we do get to the lategame though I'm actually happy my deck is over stacked with giant minions. Not even Ultimate Infestation value could dig him out of this hole. Win.

Weeeirrrddd start for what should be a really bad deck, but I've just been blessed by insane RNG.
