Go ahead. Try telling me this was skill. Puzzle Box healed him out of lethal range, created a board that would kill me, and 3 of my last 6 cards were Zeph, DQA, and Kill Command.

This is how every single game of Hearthstone plays out. It would be like chainsaws randomly dropping from the ceiling during NBA playoff games. "Sorry Lakers fans, Lebron got dismembered."

That is legitimately the gameplay you people are defending. It will never, ever, ever be defensible. The RNG bullshit 100% needs to be toned down or disappear entirely.

You kept a 4 drop on mulligan without a 2 or 3drop in hand.

Yes you had Scavenger's Ingenuity into whatever rush minion it gave you, but against mage that feels slow. At the very least if you are taking that line you can toss Corrosive breath because you wont have a turn to play it until at least turn 5 because no play before then will fit it, even with coin.

You then drew a 2drop on 2 and PLAYED the dormant 5/4 which wont wake up until turn 4 rather than giving yourself the guaranteed draw into a better turn 3 play. If you ingenuity on 2 you will have either a 4/6 rush on 3 or a 6/3 rush on 3 (which then draws one of two cards). You threw away a strong turn 3 play for a 5/4 minion on turn 4 which MIGHT attack face, or might do something dumb depending on what your opponent fields.

You get immediately punished by drawing Zixor which had a 50/50 chance of being buffed and in your hand at this point. (and if you whiffed on the ingenuity you still had the option to corrosive breath + coin + dormant minion on 3 rather than run your 6/3 into a 3/2). You then WASTE your coin to get the ingenuity down immediately. You had an option on 3 to play Animal companion and use your mana efficiently. 4/2 goes face and he will trade it down. 4/4 contests board and requires a ping. 2/4 contests board and requires a ping as well. All 3 results are solid and give you your coin in hand. With coin in hand going into 4 you have the option to ingenuity + coin + 6/3 rush (if it's useful) . But most likely since guaranteed you aren't getting a 4/6 rush at this poing ingenuity is not a great card except to refill your hand because it draws you a card which in turn draws you another card. But you don't need to refill. So I suggest the Animal Companion on 3 is correct in this spot and it gives you a much more flexible turn 4, rather than locking yourself into either Feywing only or having to play a 3drop and nothing else. Another consideration is that you are giving up a turn 6 coin + Dinotamer, which by playing 1 turn earlier gives your opponent 1 less draw to have an answer. Now we can see from the replay that your opponent had Dragoncaster + Rolling Fireball in hand, but it's by no means guaranteed they will have the same turn answer and it's worth keeping the option open.

Do I need to continue? You misplayed. You made plays that were incorrect. Every sub optimal play you make affects the game state and reduces your chance to win and increases the opportunity for your opponent to get RNG that saves them.
