Locking out Odd Paladin with Explosive Trap.  lol.

 If only they had Level Up!.

 If they had Level Up I would have played it differently.  but yes, the lack of Level Up was exactly why I left it like that.  

Got Zul'jin and a golden rare from the pack from this week's brawl. Pretty nice!

holy this has to be my best turn in arena ever thanks to Marin the Fox

How satisfying to beat him with my invented combo

We're all playing low ranked decks with budget options, but my deck comes with a wincon.

I'll leave this here.  Fyi, this is from my toggwaggle hakkar priest deck

Never thought that aggro decks can be fun to play.

Though I still lost against warrior. 1/5 mech ruined me the game, I should have killed him, but I could not resist attacking that face. 

Spiteful Priest will never not be fun.

Especially when playing against Hunter and killing him off with his own Kill Command..

I've been playing a very RNG-heavy mage in Wild today and having fun while getting closer to 500 wins. I am currently sitting at 479, but my favorite story resulted from a loss against a somewhat aggressive Mechit  Paladin. I had been waiting for an excuse to make a similar deck, so I did just that, but I played three or so more matches with the mage deck, then queued up with my new Paladin deck. 

"Sir Annoy-O versus Valeera!" is heard by me, followed swiftly by "None will survive!" I'm thinking, "This is the best deck in Wild, so let's see if I can defeat it." 

Turn 1: I coin out Mechwarper with the intention of playing Shielded Minibot next turn.

Turn 2: I topdecked Glow-Tron, connect it to Mechwarper, and play Shielded Minibot as planned.

Turn 3: The rogue had killed Mechwarper with a little help from Southsea Deckhand, so I just play my hero power with the intention of playing either Piloted Shredder or Annoy-o-Module next turn depending on the state of my Shielded Minibot at that point. 

Well, the rogue plays a newly drawn Vicious Fledgeling and removes the shield from Shielded Minibot with his dagger, making Annoy-o-Module the obvious play. On my turn, I connect the two together and kill the "flappy bird," at which point the rogue immediately concedes.

That made my day.

 It's superb. Good fun to play, capable of winning against Aggro, Combo and even Control with the inclusion of Archbishop Benedictus. Getting huge swing turns with Princess Talanji and a hand full of big minions that you've Stolen/Discovered is such a good feeling.

 As is playing a Priest Deck that's off Meta and doesn't require either Awaken the Makers, Inner Fire or Divine Spirit 

Just won one of the most painful matches I've ever played...

Ladder match, playing as spell hunter against Odd Quest Warrior (38% matchup BTW). Managed to grind out the win over 30 turns (and 51 minutes) of pure agony. Got lucky with a Zul'jin topdeck on turn 10, but the opponent crushed that with Reckless Flurry plus Chief Inspector.

The key turning points were saving a deadly shot for my opponent's last card as I was pretty sure it would be a Witchwood Grizzly (which it was) so I could push through for vital face damage, and creating two zombeasts that included Raptor Hatchling to save me from fatigue.

What made it  such a sweet win (and hence a real pepper moment) though was that my opponent literally roped EVERY SINGLE TURN. That is not an exaggeration - even on the turns where all they did was hero power and pass, they literally burned the full rope down every turn. Karma will get you in the end!

Just had an epic throw with Exodia Paladin vs Odd Warrior. I had 2 of the knights in hand and rolled a third unique one. Bounced it back, then immediatelly played Time Out! GG, Well Played.

Except that I didn't cast Time Out. APM worked against me, and the bounce on the third knight changed the cards' places in my hand and actually made me cast one of the other knights instead of Time Out!

At least I laughed and learned from this epic throw and shamefully killed myself with Lynessa drawing 4 cards on fatigue.

On the other hand, nothing like surviving Odd Paladin and Zoolock with the nuts stabilizing with a wall of Stegodons from double Steed and Lynessa with double steed as well then healing to full with Shirvallah and Uther weapon.

I also decided to tech a single Windspeaker in Even Shaman. Had two surprise lethals because people aren't expecting Fire Elementals to be buffed by an Earthen Might, gain Windfury and hit you for 16. Even killed a Priest with from 20+ health with a Kalimos that he decided to ignore. Flametongue, Might put it at 11 attack + Windspeaker hit him for 22. Glorious.

500 Wins with Shaman!

I just had a game trying to climb in wild again playing Reno Priest against Big Priest (for hitting level 15). They coin Barnes turn 3 and get a Lich King. I Shadow Visions, get Potion of Madness, steal their mini Lich King and trade. I'm considering whether or not to play a Twilight Welp, and they concede. Must have thought I was also Big Priest.

Druid didn't get nerfed, it got buffed!  King Togwaggle now gives the opponent a deck full of crappier cards

Had a blast playing Hakkar druid today.  One game vs lynx midrange hunter, I got twig up early and went for a Togwaggle + UI play to tempo out and steal some of his cards.  The opponent didn't want to spend 5 mana playing King's Ransom right away so I got to play a bit of his deck.  Hunter decks aren't exactly known for value so I was running out of stuff to do despite the UI (DK Rexxar was in his hand) and I played out Hakkar, the Soulflayer for tempo at one point.  Luckily, I got his Zul'jin.  I played it with both of us nearing fatigue and with decks full of blood.  Zul'jin drew everyone a bunch of cards (naturalize, UI, howl, branching paths).  I managed to survive at 2 because I had somehow tanked up to around 60HP by this point.  My deck was 8 copies of corrupted blood.  The opponent died on the 2nd naturalize

Still climbing with Spiteful Priest. Rank 11 and counting. Have yet to see anyone else playing it. 

Favourite win so far has to be against a Spell Hunter who thought he had me until I played Flappy Bird and 2x Kill Command to kill him off..

Managed to reach level 5 again today with an Odd Mage (secret based not the control type) and had the last two games winning against Odd Warrior (whom I killed with hero power) and OTK Paladin (who had 60+ HP). Satisfaction. 

Wild Casual.

I am playing a Freeze Mage, against Priest. 

He turns out to be the typical Big Priest farmer of Wild Casual.

After 5 turns, his first summon, I Polymorph it. Second summon, I Polymorph it again. He concedes.

"Oops!"
