and ? its start of the new rank season that's why its bronze. Also Soul Rend is in most control warlock decks ... What do you think if this was Diamond the opponent would leave me with full board of minions? he would be dead next turn anyway.
Well, I haven't seen the whole game, so I can't really judge, but when I play against zoo (token) style decks, I usually try not to use Soul Rend until I have drawn my key cards or I have absolutely no other choice. Maybe he was unlucky with draws and had to do it? Or maybe he didn't manage his resources properly?
That's wrong as an approach in general. Soul Rend should be used liberally vs aggro. The cards you burn may as well have been in the bottom of your deck - they don't matter. The payoffs of getting your deck down to 10 cards are what matters and aside from that it is just great removal

I disagree. This Handlock is quite tricky deck and it took me some time to fully understand how to use it properly, but I think I got it now. My initial approach was exactly like yours and I was using Soul Rend rather liberally in aggresive matchups, but then I realized, that in many cases it wasn't really beneficial to me. Because of course it's nice to remove like 3-4 enemy minions in one go, but it's also not so nice to lose like both Bristlebacks or Backfires in one go. That's why I had to learn how much damage I can take in certain situations and when I really NEED to use the Soul Rend. Stopping the bleeding is one thing, destroying your own win conditions is another... In the end it really boosted my win rates (before the reset I had 73% in D2).
So warlocks play this card Soul Rend KEKW...
It's a good card guys burn all of your deck and pray :)
Faced 3 warlocks that did that and can't even finish the quest..
FEEL THE BURN BOYS!!!
Well, it looks like your opponent's deck was...
