Ok, i will start us off :)
Yesterday i had a rly crazy rogue run, it was after i was goin through my deck and looking what kind of synergies i have and what would be my win condition etc., where i realized, i had no taunts!!! :D It still looked like a decent tempo deck with a good early game, but having 0 taunts (as a rogue no less) is very very bad, so i didnt expect much from it, but all hail Hallucinations :D they did provide some very epic games.
Deck list:
2-0: So u think u can Priest?
This game turned out to be completely crazy, not something i would imagine at all. It was a fairly normal game until priest started dropping Drakonid Operatives left and right and got my Shadowcaster several times, i thought to myself "f*** me, GG" at least i will make a cute QQ screenshot :D
But this was also the beginning of my RNGfiesta, as u can see i have two undercity huksters and i am about to draw a Hallucination, that will later give me Shadowreaper Anduin. I also got a Thoughtsteal from one hukster and that gave me a dragon, to trigger the Drakonid Operative of my own, that i got prior from Shifting Shade that i got from my 1st Hallucination :D Who's the priest now, priest?!!! :P
Next couple turns arent very well documented, cause he played a Bog Creeper that i killed with Shadowreaper Anduin and thought how ahead i am with my two 3/3s on the board and new OP hero power ... silly me. He then continued to play one big monster after another and i had to focus and count properly the dmg and mana cost of my cards and hero power so i could clear him, so i wasnt focusin on makin screenshots :D
When things cooled down a bit, it was when i finally had time to play Prophet Velen (i dont even know where i got it from anymore). U can see that my hero power deals 4 dmg, he is under the description :) But sure enough, Shadow Word: Death made short work of him :(
And as if it wasnt enough, he managed to get a friggin Pyros from Shallow Gravedigger, so i had to figure out how to deal with the 10/10 monster when it would finally arrive. Thankfully i drew into Plague Scientist, so now it was just a question of keepin a minion on the board for the turn he is gonna play the big bird. Dealing with 2/2 was obviously easy, 6/6 as well, since i managed to keep a minion on board, but 10/10 was about to be a real problem. But that Embrace the Shadow, that was completely useless to me for like 15 turns turned out to have a use after all, it refreshed my hero power and allowed me to clear his mininon and stick one of my own on the board and be rdy for the 10/10. Sure enough, he played it and i cleared with poison <3
Now the only question was, what r those two cards that he has in hand, am i safe or not? Turned out i was! Won by one turn of fatigue dmg, what a messy epic game!
3-2: Oh no, another priest ...
This time it was obvious right away, how this game gonna look like, or so i thought.
The game was a lot messier than i would hope for and we traded back and forth for the most of the midgame, when he finally played some 5+ Attack minions and it was finally time for me to mount the Anduin, there was that Shallow Gravedigger again .. this time ... it spit out Tirion Fordring, jesus! ... Keep in mind, my deck had 0 taunts and i was at 20 hp with him having 15 dmg just from the weapon, this is when things got serious.
But because i was in a priest death knight form, i was now considered a priest (not rogue) for discover purposes, so the ever awesome Servant of Kalimos gave me Lyra the Sunshard :D
And as luck would have it, i drew into Backstab, so i managed to get at least one spell out of her, before she died. And that was enough ... i completely trashed this spell in my KFT arena impact review, but this time, it saved my ass - Embrace Darkness!
He thought he was safe and just played the Obsidian Statue vs my Servant of Kalimos, not a wrong play at the time for him, he couldnt have known :D But i snatched the statue for myself and that was the turnaround.
In his last ditch effort, he entered Shadowform, i guess he liked my new hero power and wanted to try it out for himself ... close enough, muhahaha :p
Didnt took long to completely turn the game around and win with a healthy 21 hp thanks to the statue :))
4-2: Rogues like elementals too!
The last highlight of this run was a pretty straight forward game vs mage, where i got Frost Lich Jaina.
I managed to actually get an elemental on the board prior to playing her, so that was rly nice, actually amazing, considering i had just two 1 Attack elementals (so those dont rly count) and only two other (bigger) elementals in the entire deck. I suppose it wouldnt rly matter, i was in a pretty good position by the time i played her anyway.
Tho i think the game could have gone a bit differently, if i didnt have Jaina right there, decent board, but nothing rly in the hand, would have to trade into that 5/5 and probably take 5 to the face and end up at 13 hp vs mage with 6 cards in hand, wouldnt be the best position ever. But alas.
He actually got Lyra sunshard from Kabal Courier and got some cute spells.
Interesting thing to note, u cannot silence out Lifesteal, when Frost Lich Jaina was played ... i mean it makes sense right? But probably not something that u would realize until u saw it in action first. I certainly didnt.
He got one more little doozie and i was like "oh cmon!!" thinking this was a beginning of some huge clear next turn or something, but it wasnt, his resources were spent and he just tapped out.
Certainly the least interesting game of the three i described here, but it was nice having so much lifesteal as a rogue :D GG :p
And there u have it, the end! :) The run ended 7-3 which was more than i hoped for, so yay! :)
Well, im not sure anyone will actually read all that, i tend to go into a lot of details and my personal thoughts and opinions when i get into the storytelling :D but if u did, then thanks! and hope u enjoyed it :)

Pretty much my every Mad Bomber ever ...
Oh yeah, and also this ...
My opponent's every T5/T6 after i play a value minion with 2- Attack (Gurubashi Berserker, Venomancer, Validated Doomsayer, Scaled Nightmare ...)
I hear u like UnGoro, so i put some UnGoro into your Ungoro!
Value plays 101, play Elise the Trailblazer, get the Un'Goro Pack, repeat! :D
Just Priest things ...
He got the ONLY direct dmg spell i had in my deck ... i mean ofc he did :D
Btw bonus points for the opponent's name :D
Should I? ... hmmm
He played an Archbishop Benedictus into my Frozen Clone, needless to say it was a fun game :D
Hey, this 2 mana 2/6 taunt, thats a good minion, right?
Nope.
Is ... that leathal?
I think the picture says it all :D
Literall mindgames!
I love Big-Time Racketeer for so many reasons :D One of my most favourite cards in arena for sure!
Rag on Rag battle!

I've got a few, but I think my favorite is from a Warlock run from a while back (Whispers meta). I don't recall the entire board situation exactly, I just remember I was playing against a Druid, I was coming up on my 7 mana turn with a Wrathguard on board and my opponent chose not to kill it... which was FINE by me! On my turn I played Floating Watcher, traded the Wrathguard, then played 2 Flame Imps... which resulted in my Watcher being 10/10 on the same turn I played it.
Instant concede.
Good times!
Aaaaand now I miss wild Arena again.
Old school WoW Mage motto: if you don't end the run with the most damage dealt AND the most deaths, you're not trying hard enough.

Just played a druid as priest.
Was winning on the board and he dropped Deathwing.
Top deck - Stubborn Gastropod.
He hero powered into it to vent his frustration.
I've once made a Paladin arena deck with Blood of The Ancient One and i was able to pull The Ancient One 2 times and that was really marvellous
and there is that arena run like 2 weeks ago , it ended 1-3 sadly but i got the luckiest pack in my life :)
Most of my plays are on HSreplay which is a lot more boring than your detailed description + screenshots.
Just gonna leave this here tho. I also misplayed and could've gotten 4 Lich Kings instead. RIP
Here's another tilted mess for the opponent (had a crypt lord, ironbark, and some 1/5s that died):

Judging from your profile I guess you play Arena in EU, Sinti? Too bad I'm on NA, would love to friend and spectate some games.

Don't be play arena usually, but I had a really nice game once. Was playing a rogue, and in run I got a Kidnapper and a Shadowcaster I believe. Playing against Shaman I think, I discovered Kalimos. Played Kalimos 3 or so times in that game, was a fun one.
considering how bad I am in Arena, I just come in here to see if I've been called out for getting destroyed lol

Finally got offered warrior lol :P Wanted to try him out in KFT for some time now. First pick crap, crap and Finja, the Flying Star ... ok lets go for murloc synergy and have some fun!, second pick Primalfin Lookout, hell yeah! lets do this! ... and then no murloc till 27th pick vs a better card at which point i didnt even got for that at that point, too bad :( Still the run had some fun moments:
0-0: This started with a big "WTF?!" moment :D
... and in the same game, my epic synergy was destroyed right away :( RUDE!
2-0: Damn, cant even remember the last time i saw Blood Knight ... lucky me to have an answer, not that it helped in the end :D
2-2: Another Snowflipper Penguin, how cute <3 I thought how im gonna get him by playin Acolyte of Pain into that (not like i had much better options, was planning to swap the stats and mby trade into something next turn, if needed), then he plays Rallying Blade, because ofc he has that right? yeah ... and then ... he goes face ... :D I dont think i have seen worse play in a very long time.
... later on, he was trying to be sneaky with gettin Eye for an Eye from Hydrologist ... not today, sir! :P
3-2: This one isnt as much of a good/bad play as how funny it was ... he played a card to get a card and activated my Leatherclad Hogleader, as if he wasnt in a bad spot already, poor guy, almost felt sorry for him :P
Ended up just with 5 wins, the deck was all over the place, had some good cards, but very inconsistent to work out in a long term. Fun run tho :)

This game started badly and as u can see on the screen below, it was about to end even worse ...
My only option was Kazakus, tho i wasnt sure even that would make a difference, i went for it and got "1st discover: deal 4 dmg to all enemies and 2nd discover: transform a random enemy minion into a 1/1 sheep", rope started burning and i had to act quickly ...
... i managed to get all minions to 4 hp and leave the biggest one to be polymorphed, i couldnt believe i pulled that off ... or so i thought.
That friggin spell did it in reverse order :D 1st polymorphed something and THEN aoe'd :D cmon! u had one job! Left him with 17/5 Backroom Bouncer and Ashbringer, GG :((
