I just had a very strange finish to a Duels run. I was playing discard warlock and I was at 11-1. My final boss with a token demon hunter (with the summon two 1/1 rush HP). He didn't have Recycling (thank God) but he did have Cannibalize, so it's not a great match up if you don't stay ahead on board. We're maybe 5-6 turns in and he's managed to stabilize on board, but I was holding into a couple of warlock AOE cards to prevent him from running away with it.

So I draw a card. It's a deck of wonders spell.

It casts a spell that draws another card. It's another deck of wonders spell.

This one casts RENOUNCE DARKNESS, and so I become a paladin and the AOE cards I was saving become random paladin crap.

Concede.

I'm a bit salty, but I queue up again, now at 11-2.

Next opponent is also Demon Hunter.

This one also had Cannibalize. (and also, thankfully, does not have Recycling)

MY VERY FIRST DRAW ON MY FIRST TURN? DECK OF WONDERS SPELL.

AND WHAT DOES IT CAST? RENOUNCE DARKNESS.

I was absolutely malding, but at least I wasn't staring 1-2 turn lethal in the face so I knew I would just have to try to make the best of it. And I turned into a mage so at least I had a ping to more easily clean up his 1 mana minions.

So I play it out, and I'm able to play Greedy Pickaxe on 4 which helps me ramp into Alexstrazsa on my 9 gold turn (turn 7), and then play Antonidas + cheap spells to set up a two turn lethal. So I absolutely cheesed it out with a mage combo I had no business having access to, but it was such a weird series of events to happen twice in a row. I was rewarded with +510 gold from the 12 win rewards (every bag was gold) for a profit of 360 if you take away the entry price.
