ok, um servo imortal é realmente bom, vilão por sua vez, de 5 a 17 https://hsreplay.net/replay/6UaXdNqfvu2uYUFVfSeLkH

Wow, that is exactly what i fear will happen to me when my opponent plays that card :D so far the best they managed to do is to ress it once, this was insanity :D

That being said, he had 3x Walking Fountain? Holy hell. And still lost :o

I just had an amazingly stupid game featuring Witch's Cauldron carrying me till T10 where Kel'Thuzad took over :D This game was hilarious.

Is Unstable evolution too strong in arena?

Just played a normal power level shaman deck, thought that I could probably get 7-8 wins out of it if lucky.

Well, turns out single unstable evolution is strong enough to carry me to 12 wins!

I'll tell you shortly about last two games. At 10-2, unstable evolution decided to give me Archmage Antonidas, and few fireballs after evolving other minion on the board to Sleepy Dragon, nicely protecting my Antonidas. Ended up with 5 fireballs as a shaman, and turned the game around completely as you would expect.

Against final boss (Rogue), I went for a risky turn 6 evolve on a 5 drop (Former Champ), and it turned out be a nice turn 6 Tyrantus, which of course won the game, even though that Rogue put on a lot of pressure after it and tried to SMOrc. GG

Yeah, Unstable Evolution is super strong. Ofc it can fail, but if you dont use it for a last turn evolve or two, but actually plan your actions, that card can carry hard.

I just made it to 12-2 with my warlock deck.

Here is my 11-1 game. (spoiler I lose)

My opponent is a rogue. 

He play: Weaponized Pinata. He get Houndmaster Shaw. 

He then play it with Stoneskin Basilick. Im then able to kill the basilick but not the Shaw

He plays Necrotic Geist. (after I played Master Oakhart)
So he can trade my board with the combo with his token dying.

I lose the next turn! :p

 Yeah, Shaw+Geist is a nasty combo. CG to 12 wins tho!

No screens this time, just a little story :)

I have not had a bad game like this in a long time. Mind you the opponents deck was insane, that is true, but the way it came together for him, i dont think iv ever seen a deck perform like that (druid-shaman):

- His start is to vomit his hand and have 6 minions out on T4.
- I manage to flip the board with some value trades and pings. I drain him out of resources, he has 1 card left, if it is not Ultimate Infestation, he is done for.
- Ofc it was Ultimate Infestation ... the game restarts at this point, he is fully back in.
- I play big guy to threaten the board, he topdecks Hex.
- I play couple minions to try to go wide, he topdecks Mossy Horror into Starfall.
- Im fuckin in topdeck mode now myself, and he is sitting on nice 8 cards. He casually discoveres Onyxia from Blazing Invocation. Im about to fuckin kill myself by now.
- Ok, i by some miracle get a Violet Wurm that gives me a hope to stay in the game, tho still in a topdeck mode.
- He plays a fuckin Spirit Echo (who drafts that?!) on his Onyxia and some other value crap to have it returned to his hand and play it again.
- I kill that stupid board again, leaving up totem and couple of 1/1s.
- He topdecks Savage Roar, cause ofc he has that too.
- Im dead.

Im telling you, this guy ate luck for breakfast and is now shitting leprechauns all day. I wasnt even mad at the end, nothing much i could have done, but damn if it didnt feel bad to lose like this. Long ass game and the dude had perfect answer to everything, everything went his way. Not one thing, all things. Blah, im used to this from priest, not from a stupid druid in arena lolo. Well, thats it, you can enjoy my misery now :)

Little bit more from today's arenas.

Luck vs more luck

Holy Shuddermother

Well, this Bomber was on a mission

Yet another perfect snipe (from my opponent)

I dont think he read how that card works :D

Mech Warrior is cool :)

Quote from Abobominator >>

I have just experienced one of the strangest Arena throws. Was 4:2 with a crappy (63 point something) Priest deck. My only one-drop is Gravelsnout Knight and I get it going first against a Warrior. He gets a Chameleos, goes face. I kill the bugger, heal the Knight. He drops and Acidic Swamp Ooze. I Power Word: Shield the Knight, kill he Ooze and heal. He... rage quits out. Really? Turn 3, with coin and no health lost? And in Arena?

I can see how this can look weird from your perspective, but i can 100% understand the opponent. He was probably already tilted from the two previous losses, which very well could have been vs priests as well. And playing vs priest in arena in general is just so soul crushing when it goes well for them, it rly goes well ... and you started off with perfect answers for everything he got/played and mby with what he had in hand, it wasnt looking any better. I will agree that it was way premature of a concede, but i can definitely empathize with him in that regard.

I remember early WW days, when i got a priest opponent and he dropped that friggin Crystalline Oracle T1, i always wanted to concede on the spot, cause i already knew how that game gonna go ... him stealing half my deck and beating me with it. Just priests man, scum of the earth! :D

Ixlid, Fungal Lord and Stubborn Gastropod and Gloop Sprayer and Wickerflame Burnbristle and all adapted with Evolving Spores. Me, I'm happy lol!

And for more craziness, the Wickerflame Burnbristle came out of a Toki, Time-Tinker that came out of a Tortollan Forager

Damn Arena is magic sometime 

This is awesome when it happens to you, but when you are on the receiving end, you want to throw the PC out of the window :D

I just had such an amazing 12-1 run with Warrior. Finally some good karma back! See if you can spot which two cards carried me the most lol :)))

And sometimes this happens...

Oh yes! These games r amazing :D

Quote from Punka144 >>

Sorry to post twice in a row. I just had to share this moment from my warlock arena on my main account. My Jaraxxus was from Dark Possession; and my rogue opponent got his from Hallucination. He played his first, and I was thinking I could win in a Jaraxxus mirror quite quickly with my board plus Doomguard in hand. I was correct.

 Dont worry about posting several times in a row, thats what this topic is for :) Anyway, pretty cool Jaraxxus vs Jaraxxus battle :)

Just had a perfect game that demonstrated why Armor actually doesnt matter in arena. This is where it started and at this exact moment, i knew he would get a lot more of it, since killing the Armorsmith with Holy Water now would probably cost me too much tempo and valuable removal and eventually the game. I knew if i wanted to win, the Armor wouldnt matter in the end. And it didnt. Also, this is a prime example why priest is so stupid in arena right now.

Rest of the match:

 

Quote from SvizacCRO >>

drafted this insane Shaman deck:

failed to get 12 wins though

That is a rly nice deck. Tho no card draw or card generation (besides Bone Drake) i imagine that must have sucked lot of times, but 11 wins is rly nice, good job!

Ok, so here r some stories i have to share from The Taverns of Time arena so far, enjoy :)

Satisfaction level 9000
