Had a pretty average Paladin/Shaman deck, went up against a Mage/Rogue deck at 2-1. That deck had three (!) Firelands Portals, a Flamestrike, Fireball, and a Frostbolt. He casted Portal on turn four when it was coupled with Preparation, and also did another Prep to the Flamestrike. He pulled a Volcanic Potion from a Kabal Courier and cleared 5 out of my 7 minions that had flooded the board. I got him out of cards, and he had Sprint. He pulled a Babbling Book -> Shadowstep -> Babbling Book to dig up some removal he needed (forget what it was). And finally, as he hit fatigue, he pulled a White Eyes from a Lotus Agents.
The fact I took this guy to fatigue with that deck, given my deck (no removal, only two direct damage spells, nothing really special minion-wise other than a Bonemare) is a damn miracle. Not mad that I lost, just mad I had to play a deck like that at 2-1.
