Beat the Rumble Run for the first time today! I did it with Akali's Champion and chose the upgrade where you start with a clone of your shrine. Nothing like smashing the final boss's face with two 22-attack shrines :D
Be me, odd paladin, playing OTK Shirvallah, the Tiger + Holy Wrath Paladin. The boi clears his deck, 4 cards left with two tigers. He pops wrath, I survive. Big wow, but know I’m still done. Next turn, 3 cards, two tigers- wrath #2, I live again! Amazing
But now he’s got like 2-3 zero cost tigers, he clears my board and gets full health. I’m toast... I play a few minions, he ignores, goes for face. Next turn I’m dead anyway and he’s still at 30.... my turn, play Leeroy, buff him to 10 damage, hit his face with my minions. 26 damage in one turn. Amazing play, but not enough... still, I can lose with dignity...

...his deck been empty for three turns. He draws. Fatigue -4 HP
Last night, I finally beat an odd warrior with control priest. I didn't even play well. Thank you Dr Boom, your intermittent offer of blast shield was superb. Also, thank you brawl RNG for letting my Alex live for one turn. This made my season.

On the flipside, I managed to beat a Resurrect Priest with Odd Quest Warrior by winning two Brawls (the last one killed off his Malygos and Prophet Velen, leaving my Stonehill Defender untouched) then topdecking Blackwald Pixie for 16 burst damage next turn. Feels good.

I am happy enough that I can share in your joy, despite you being my mortal enemy with your infernal armour!

Playing Hybrid Hunter against another Hunter, I pressured him all game long and got him down to 3 health. I have a Dire Mole on board and I have lethal, but I opt to just hero power and leave him at 1 health, then play a secret. Next turn, he plays Tundra Rhino and spellstone, then hits me with a "Well Played." His wolf attacks my face, and...triggers my Explosive Trap, which kills his 1-health ass.
WOOHOO! Second time legend, this time with control priest, after 6 mirror matches and a hunter to finish! So stoked!!! Much easier this time with a winrate above 60%, those druid nerfs really came through for me.
It doesn't actually show it, but this guy immediately concedes because I decided to mill him while I could and burned his Uther. Best game I've played in a while, laughed my ass off
Bad start leads to throwing Carnivorous Cube for tempo. Next turn Sonya, kill Cube, play top-decked Keleseth, Cube Sonya with the 1/1.
He does something like, playing Shadow Essence or something else your average Ressu Priest will do by turn 7, but by now I don't even care already, I'm pretty much dead on next turn after he already had Prophet Velen and Malygos in the pool.
He leaves my Cube and Keleseth up and I procceed to throw the Cube against his Maly, popping two Sonyas. Killed Keleseth, played the two 1/1's, backstabbed one of them and played 2 more, into Elven Minstrel which gets me a 13/9 Leeroy Jenkins.
He hits me for 40 in the face in the next turn. I'm not even mad.
Priest was my last class, and I had a Scepter of Summoning and the battlecry totem in a nearly full-on C'thun deck, but with only one C'Thun. Final boss was Azari, and I was thinking "Heck no!" until C'thun came in my opening hand and I drew Wish early on, which saved me in the end.
As you can see, I defeated 124 bosses before clearing it with Priest, and I'll be revisiting the other classes for fun.

162 ladder wins with Renouncelock and counting! Reno, Zoo, Cube, Even; they all run Renounce Darkness in my lists!
I was playing Holy Wrath Paladin against this Even Warlock. He's built up a huge board, I've had to use both Time Out! already. He gets out a big board and I have no way to clear it. I have 10 cards in hand, including Consecration and Wild Pyromancer, yet I'm missing Equality, and without it, I'm dead.
I clear his board and am able to stabilize, and winning the match. It was a play that had I missed (like I almost did), I would have lost the game. It was a great match, he played very well and I had a lot of fun! Even if he had still won, it was a truly fun match. Games like this are why I still play this game.
Well... This part should go in the Salt thread... But... he sends me a friend request. We all know where this is going... but I was feeling good and positive. Wanted to tell him good game, and talk about it, and maybe even rematch. I never accept people, because I know what is done 99% of the time. Maybe this time would be different?
"nice copy/paste deck, trash! Enjoy you 10% win rate!"
Followed by an immediate unfriending before I even have a chance to type a single letter.
What I find ironic, is he was playing standard Even Warlock that I have played so many matches against. He had one card different that I saw, and that was throwing in Marin the Fox. So innovative!

Don't worry about it mate. I had a fantastic Big Spell Mage mirror match earlier and won in fatigue in the end thanks to my triple Ragnaros keeping me at a high enough health.
The guy then added me to give me abuse. Wouldn't mind but he was playing the most standard copy/paste version of it whereas I'm playing my own take on it. Core is the same but with a few of my own ideas thrown in.
People like that aren't worth the time of day tbh.
Yesterday though a guy added me after we shared an epic 45-minute long game (he was resurrect priest) and complimented my deck and congratulated me on the win. So there are *some* decent players out there..

Yeah, I don't let it get to me. Would be nice if there were more decent players out there. The community is just so damn negative. You don't have to be negative to be competitive. Eh, oh well. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
First game today was vs. Casino Mage. When he played Yogg-Saron, Hope's End the first spell chosen was Treachery ... needless to say, it targeted itself, switched sides, summoned some minions for me and buffed them afterwards.
Next game something weird happened. I was playing ShudderYogg and during the Shudderwock battlecry the game literally broke. Just watch the screenshot below, especially my board and hand :O The bug came up when I started my next turn. One of the Hakkar, the Soulflayer got killed before when my deck was empty. I drew a Corrupted Blood, but after dealing damage to me they didn't shuffle more copies back into my deck whereas my opponent kept drawing... until he died.

Just found a new way (at least to me) to deal with Mecha'thun druids. Just shuffle The Lich King to their deck, and then just buff it and heal it:)
I do what I must, when I must. Know this well.
Just beat an odd rogue via mecha'thun warlock because... he drew his deck faster than me...

I missed playing Hunter.

Did this with Quest Druid :D
Going Deathrattle Rogue vs. Ressurect priest.

I finally cleared Dungeon Run with Priest!

Wild: Turn 5 Voltron into Quest Mage concede. No Wargear or Menace, though, so just 16 to the face. Leave Mimiron alive at your peril, mortals!
I can't stop laughing, so I had to share this...
I was playing Holy Wrath Paladin against this Even Warlock. He's built up a huge board, I've had to use both Time Out! already. He gets out a big board and I have no way to clear it. I have 10 cards in hand, including Consecration and Wild Pyromancer, yet I'm missing Equality, and without it, I'm dead.
Obviously, I needed to draw whatever I could and hope for Equality. I almost burn my Flash of Light, until I see a better play that will get me 2 cards drawn. I throw out Wild Pyromancer followed by Bloodmage Thalnos then Flash of Light. 2 cards drawn instead of 1, and leaving 1 health on my Wild Pyromancer and 2 mana for an Equality to clear his board.
Ist card drawn from Flash of Light..... damn! Holy Wrath
2nd card drawn from the Bloodmage Thalnos death... Equality!!!!
I clear his board and am able to stabilize, and winning the match. It was a play that had I missed (like I almost did), I would have lost the game. It was a great match, he played very well and I had a lot of fun! Even if he had still won, it was a truly fun match. Games like this are why I still play this game.
