THIS is the thread I was looking for. I posted in the wrong one...
I was playing a Hunter. My turn starts and I have 21 health and an empty board. I drop a Savannah Highmane, steady shot, and end my turn. I was playing against a Shaman who now had 6 health left and had a Fire Elemental and a Healing Totem from last turn. He starts by silencing my Highmane with Earth Shock, so it won't split when it dies. I take this to mean he's going to sac his Fire Elemental into it. No, he then plays several other small creatures and then gives windfury to his Elemental. I now figure, he'll hit me once in the face and then kill my Highmane. He proceeds to attack me twice and end his turn.
I stare at my screen stunned. He has 6 health left and he failed to kill my Highmane who has 6 attack, even though he was capable of doing so.
To be fair, I had lethal anyway, if he didn't play a taunt or heal. I had 10 mana, a Timberwolf(1), a Rhino(2+1) , and Steady Shot(2). But the fact remains, he had huge board control and could have cleared my board and didn't. He left my creature alive and staring him in the face with the exact damage I needed to kill him.
I consider that a pretty bad play. He didn't know I had lethal damage in my hand and he could have still played to win, but he handed the game to me.
Faced a warlock yesterday that decided it was a good idea to gamble on a 66.6% chance of not losing Jaraxxus to get a Succubus on the board... He lost Jaraxxus Same guy, same odds, he lost Twisting Nether to Soulfire, so he could kill an Onyxia (while having nothing on his board and a full complement of whelps on mine) He ate all the Savage Roar'd x2 whelps the next turn. Well, not all, I think he dropped to 0 before hitting with the last 2.

Isn't 66.6% impossible with succubus? It's 100% or drops to 50% right? Either way that's not a risk worth taking when you have Jaraxxus in your hand. Sounds like he deserved to lose pretty badly.

He had 4 cards in his hand including Succubus. When he dropped her, 1 out of 3 will be discarded.
Worst I've seen was someone who tried to cancel a Fireball and ended up casting it on his own face.
My own stupid action happens all the time, noticing I have 2 mana and refreshing my dagger, while I have a Perdition's Blade or something alike equipped. And at the start of the beta I couldn't remember not to cast Holy Nova while having that Auchenai Priest out.

Ah read it wrong 66.6% of NOT losing jaraxxus. I thought he said of losing jaraxxus.
just came from a completely ridiculous game. on third round, i dropped worgen on an empty baord after trading , opponent went arcane intelect > coin > arcane missiles and hit my worgen once. it went really downhill REALLY fast from there, i drew blessing of wisdom, drew two cards, one of them was kings, needles to say game lasted only two more rounds :p
Yesterday was my worst experience in HS. I went 9-0 in Arena with a solid Mage deck. Game 10 I played against a Pally and finally we ran out of cards.
The opponent had like 15 health, no cards in hand and deck, a 3/2 Sen'jin Shieldmasta, a 1/1 vanilla Soldier a 7/3 Venture Co. Mercenary (there was Blizzard payed the turn before).
My turn: I traded my Drake with the taunter, pinged the Soldier, went for face with my Worgen once and then there was an eclipse. As after some consideration I decided not to trade Worgen with Ventrure co. but to hit the opponent once again in order to play the Brewmaster and replay Worgen. My point was with no cards I can lose 7 health and live with the last 1.
Nuff said: next turn the opponent hit me for 7 and fatigue made me lose the last 1 life.
Depressed with my own stupidity I ended the run with 9-3.
I was playing against a hunter, he had 10hp left, i was a mage with 4 hp left. He has no board, i have: 4/2 water ele, 2/1 mana wyrm, 3/2 shattered sun cleric. He drops a minion (cant remember which, but he had no taunt), he steady shots taking me down to 2hp then drops a Secret. Meanwhile in my hand: azure drake, fire ball, ancient mage, and arcane intellect and i had 9 mana available. I was thinking: dang! Thats a goddam explosive trap! my board would get cleared... i thought about all my outs that i actually did not notice that the timer was running out. Then I just said: ah whatever, im going in! So i drop the ancient mage, then fire ball his face, i took him down to 2hp then i attacked him with my water elemental EXPECTING the explosive trap and pressing escape so i could concede. But guess what? It was a freezing trap! daaayyuuummmnn so i pressed escape again to take me back to the game and was about to attack with my mana wyrm but the animation for freezing trap took TOO LONG and i actually ran out time... I died a little inside that day... Next match i lost netting me 3-3. Fml.
Today I had an opponent on turn 3 use Life Tap, then after that he popped his Coin and passed the turn. I thought he must have misclicked, but later on I realised that it was intentional, because he knew he was going to reach 10 cards soon and needed to get rid of one to prevent wasting a draw. The Coin was presumably less important than whatever else he had in his hand and expected to draw.
I just had one earlier today. I'm dead in the water, one card in hand - one Argent Commander on the table (with no divine shield) and health somewhere in the teens. My opponent has two minions on the table and nine health.
He decides to swing for my face, reducing me to lethal in one. He then plays three more minions to the table bringing his total minion count to 5.

Have a Soulpriest out while I was at 5 health after eating a fireball to the face from Rag. I cast Holy Fire at my opponent's Ragnaros, forgetting that I should have trade my Soulpriest with that Rag first...
Yesterday I had Ysera in play, and she gave me a Nightmare. Then my opponent played Sylvanas Windrunner. I didn't want to let him keep my Ysera, so I used the Nightmare on her to make her a 9/17 and bashed my opponent with it. At the end of that turn Ysera gave me the dream that returns a minion to its owner's hand. Then in my opponent's turn he ran Sylvanas into Ysera and stole her. I expected her to die at the beginning of my turn, because of the Nightmare, but it turns out it triggers on the next turn instead. Then I thought that returning Ysera to its OWNER'S hand would give it back to me, but instead it went into my opponent's hand... Fail... :P
I had a bunch of buff minions and totems that caused my board to be rather full vs a mage). So I dropped a scavenging ghoul with hand of protection (seeing as he would only have 8 mana). Sure enough, flamestrike... oh shit... conceed.
End game in a top deck war I have good board control and 24 health opponent has 18. Opponent pulls [card ]Deathwing[ /card] next turn I playa minion with charge go for face end turn. now instead of going for the 2 turn win opponent decides to start using Deathwing to clear my board. I win 3 turns later

Playing against a paladin who had 6 cards in hand on turn 2 and i had 4. He coined into Divine Favor.
I've faced Holy Smite to the face at least 5 times. Denis must love me.
