I have to end my session tonight on just three games; I'm laughing too hard.

I do up a Wild Thief Rogue, with 8 cards that generate cards from opposing classes, 2 Spectral Cutlasses, Poisons, Oils, and Tess Greymane. First game is against the old dreaded Overload Burn Shaman. He didn't draw too well, but I'm still impressed that by the time he was slinging every spell in his hand at my face before conceding, I had starting that turn at 27 HP.

Then the second game starts. It's Freeze Mage. Luckily, my initial Hallucination got a Mana Wyrm and it got up to 8 attack before he was able to kill it, so I was getting some good pressure in. But then the freezes started, and I wasn't able to buff my weapon quick enough to break it in a timely fashion, so I start using every thieving card I have in search of Ice Block. Eventually, I Ethereal Conjurer into a Hallucination, which at least has an option for Counterspell. I'm finally able to break his first Block, so I play Counterspell and pass. He continues drawing. Novice Engineer. Then Coldlight Oracle. Then second Ice Block.

"You win this one."

I queue up again. It's the same Freeze Mage. This time, I'm not able to get any pressure on him, so it's a very slow process of whittling down his health, and I still can't find anything good against his combo, but a Pick Pocket turns up a Spellbinder, so maybe I can bluff my way to a win. By the time I break his block, he has 2 cards left and he already played Emperor Thaurissan, so I figure I'm probably done for. I leave my board with 6 minions, just in case. He plays Antonidas, Apprentice, Apprentice, Molten Reflection, which activates Spellbinder. He now has 0 mana and 2 Apprentices.

"You win this one."

to which I finally had to respond: "Incredible."
