So we have the salty thread for those angry about losing that has a full thousand posts. I think it's time for a positive spin on the whole thing...
What are some great plays your opponents made that you were actually really impressed and/or delighted to see?
To get the ball rolling...
I was playing a scumbag face hunter deck for questing purposes (5 wins, my druid deck was having a cold streak) and I came across a spell mage. I was using the usual hunter tactic of 'Ignore Board, Swing Face' and doing quite well. He had used an unstable portal early. Around turn 6 he drops the portal'd Malygos. He does a little damage with spells but I'm feeling like it's still a win in the bag. I drop my Stealthed 5/5 beast with 2 kill commands in my hand.
He was a spell heavy mage so I figured he had it, but the Flame Cannon was able to save him a turn and he did a little damage to me. I cast both Kill Commands and hero power him down to 1. His hand was light but I felt that even with Malygos out he couldn't kill me. He took a great gamble and won the game...
He played a Clockwork Gnome and pinged it with his hero power. It was a 1 in 7 chance, but he snagged the Reverse Switch to make Malygos a 12/4 monster. With his cards on board he was able to do exactly lethal to me to win the game. Great game sir! I tried to friend him afterward to tell him it was a great play but he didn't accept. Probably assumed I was going to flame him, but i was really impressed.
So, best games you've lost?
