Finally got around to watching Ulti's replay. I will admit that I am much less likely to hand-watch in Arena matches, so the Venomstrike Trap misplay is one I would make, and I'm willing to bet 9/10 of us would make as well. It's strictly a misplay, because it can absolutely be foreseen given how the game played out, but one that is totally forgivable, due to the circumstances behind it.
That Turn 9 is just so fucking bad, though. I draw that Rockbiter weapon and I am singing to the heavens that they blessed me with an answer to the Cobra that's plagued me for multiple turns. Why play the Stormpike Commando, first and foremost? That card's value in Arena doesn't come from his ability to take out 1/1's. It comes from finishing off damaged high-attack minions. It's not like it answers the board situation, either. If the opponent's board was just a Cobra and a 1/1, then I may have forgiven it because the Cobra is the only thing contesting the board. But he had a 3/3 right there to trade instead. I don't know what you were expecting to happen. You had 3 gigantic minions in your hand that you couldn't play because of something you could 100% kill easily with the 2 mana you floated that very same turn.
The honest answer is I forgot Rockbiter Weapon can target a character (your hero) instead of a minion LOL. Shaman is my least played class and I brainfarted, but I highly doubt I would have won that game anyway. It's all good. I took that trash-ass deck to 3 wins.
In retrospect it's hilarious, but I was really annoyed yesterday.
In conclusion, you made a beginner level mistake.
Looking forward to the next edition of "Ulti replays"! ---
