He lost a few games with druid and said that tournament =/= ladder. Can't remember the exact quote but it was something in the lines off: this deck was awesome in tournament against top players, yet I can't beat this guy???
Pull up anyones deck from any tournament, then compare it to what they use when they stream ladder the day after. In most cases, small changes were made to adjust and/or add fun (trump's war + tinkmaster comes to mind)
Knowing what you will be playing against certainly helps. It's almost like you get a pre-snipe. All the top players keep in touch with one another's deck updates, as much as they can. There will be the odd surprise, but in general you know their style, and what they will most likely use.
Ladder, though full of net-deckers, throws a lot of random stuff at you on top, that you aren't prepared for. Especially at lower ranks, where he would have been laddering through yesterday.
