We've all had them, dumb ways to win or lose games. I had 3 separate games today with stupid things happening on my side and on my opponent's:
#1: Player plays Ysera into my Mirror Entity. I was way behind, but he nearly cleared his own board killing off my free minion. I ended up winning thanks to that blunder...
#2: I have 2 health with a Mirror Entity. Enemy has 3 minions frozen on the board. I have lethal on the board, but am 2 damage short. My opponent plays the Owl, silencing MY MINION instead of his 6 damage minion. Sure he would have lost if it had been Vaporize or Ice Barrier - but he would lose if he didn't at least try.
#3: My enemy is at 6 health, I'm at 2. I draw Pyroblast. Instead of just nuking him, I attack his face - only to trigger his Explosive Trap...
If you are testing a deck, don't you want it to face something that is at least similar to the ladder? I would think playing vs. Zoo or Miracle or Handlock would be a better test that playing against someone trying to make an Alarm-o-bot + Deathwing deck work...
