MariaTaylor 09/05/17 4:09:27 PM #385:	Arena #25 I Was Offered: Druid/Hunter/Rogue I Picked: Rogue Difficult decision this time. Druid will probably yield the best results, Hunter is my fav/personal best class, while Rogue is the one that I've been needing to use to clear out a few quests. I went with Rogue in the end. I'm almost as good with Rogue as with Hunter anyway and it has high potential to draft into something solid. The Draft: Pulled a midrange/control type Rogue without many early game plays but a solid 3-5 range of cards. I got a good number of quality cards but MANY situations where my choice was like 10/15/86. So, not really a choice, and I was stuck with whatever curve I ended up with about 60% of the way through the draft. Anyway I managed to pick up a Van Cleef but not much to combo him with. My other options were significantly worse. I expect the hit of this deck to be my two Corpsetakers. I have Divine Shield, Taunt, Windfury, and Lifesteal all in my deck. Oh yes. Game 1: Vs Druid. I went First. Got pretty lucky and actually drew my early game cards right at the start. Corpsetaker to play right on turn 4 as well. This deck doesn't have a ton of quality but when it hits the good cards it's REALLY good. Unfortunately for me he has a poisonous wasp which makes my plays awkward, and ends up setting him up for a PERFECT Swipe. An unfortunate case where the one time I get really good draw RNG his is EVEN BETTER and counters mine perfectly. He runs me out of cards. Loss. These are the worst kind of losses since you know it should have been a win, and those are hard to come by in Arena sometimes. I got increasingly unlucky as the game went on with him continuing to draw answers while I continued to not draw ANY of my outs. Game 2: Vs Warlock. I went Second. Pretty good opener. I mostly came out ahead due to sheer value. Second opponent in a row plays Spiked Hogrider on turn 5 while I have a taunt up. Super fucking annoying. I got my Coin from Burgly Bully but no VanCleef for the Cleef value. Grave Shambler is soooo good in Rogue. It's basically got Inspire: Gain +1/+1. Unfortunately for me I got Harrison Jones'd and ended up giving him two cards. Argh. This drew him into Wolfrider + Bonemare to completely turn the game around when I was well in the lead. Argh. Loss. Two fucking bullshit losses in a row right at the start of a run. Wow. I am salt incarnate right now. I literally just got done describing how the worst kind of loss is the one where you've got good draw RNG and could easily win almost any game and then you lose anyway because your opponent got slightly more lucky. And then it happens again for the second consecutive game. Argh. Literally the only circumstance where I don't win that game is when he drafts exactly Harrison Jones and this topdecks him Bonemare AND Wolfrider RIGHT BEFORE I kill him. Game 3: Vs Hunter. I went First. Managed to rush him down and kill him quickly. Poor guy. Honestly there's no way that he deserved to face a deck on the level of the one I'm piloting, not at 0-2. Win. Game 4: Vs Mage. I went First. Started off strong, then things go downhill as classic Mage shenanigans ensue. His Arcane Anomoly has a 2/4 stat line if you want an idea of how many bullshit answers he has consecutively played by turn 6. Then he plays Firelands Portal on 7. Yeah, this card is sure supposed to be rare in arena. How about just removing it like it should be? No? Didn't think so. Then Medivh. Then he smacks my taunt minion with Ateish, bringing himself down to exact lethal based on the minions I have on board. Just what. Why. What. WHY ARE MAGE PLAYERS SO FUCKING BAD????
