Thought maybe y'alls would like to know how my night went.
Three quests: Overpowered (oh boy 10 8-drops), Hunter + Shaman Mastery quests (50 cards).
Roll arena, no hunter/shaman.
Start 5-0 as Paladin with a decent deck. SUDDENLY PERFECT ROGUE DRAW, PERFECT ROGUE DRAW, lose to Priest thoughtstealing Blood Knight into my Psychotron 5-3 in a matter of minutes.
Roll arena, no hunter/shaman.
Start 0-1 with my Rogue as my opponent draws absolutely fucking godly. Fuck it, let's go to constructed and get my mastery quests done. Hunter first.
Four straight losses.
0-1, lose to aggro Druid with Innervate Fledging shenanigans and a terrible draw on my part. First-shot Windfury of course.
0-2, Idol Growth Blossom draw for my opponent. My Bearshark into double Houndmaster dream is not to be, as I don't have a one-drop and pull three worthless adapts off Razormaw to fail at protecting the Bearshark from green men.
0-3, Rogue with one-drop into Turn 2 Keleseth. Roll T3 Huffer into Keleseth. A recent opponent wants to gloat about how skilled they are at this skill-based game.
0-4, T2 Backstab Coin Edwin. Stabilize, die to on-curve Bonemare.
0-5, Zoo with T1 coin Keleseth into T3 Captain Patches, T4 Saronite, T5 three-drop Malch's Imp Soulfire.
0-6, mash Razakus Priest down to 3 HP in the face of T5 Raza, T6 Dragonfire, T8 Anduin followed up by T9 Kazakus + Greater Healing Potion. Lost with N'Zoth + DK in the bottom six cards of my deck.
0-7, double Unleash mull into another Priest... The fuck? It's AGGRO PRIEST WITH FUCKING VOODOO DOCTOR AND EMERALD REAVER? Oh, I got shit on by Turn 4 Radiant + PWS + double Happy Ghoul and die to Skillmare on curve.
Quest complete with literally zerro wins, 0-7, 11 in a row counting arena horse shit. Maybe Shaman can win a game!
0-8, lose to quest Mage's T6 Nova Doomsayer. I double low-rolled Lightning Storms with Jade Claw equipped. I had a full board and Bloodlust in hand.
0-9, another Idol Growth Blossom opener, into Turn 5 seven 2/6 taunts.
0-10, Coin Growth Blossom opener, Idol Nourish, Aya. Forced to play Aya into a Doomsayer to have any board, BTW this guy is also running Dirty Rat. Really lost to the double Skilling Plague, though.
0-11, Garbage Priest with T6 Dragonfire, T8 Dragonfire into DK Anduin and GHP versus my remaining burn in hand (double Fire Ele + equipped Claw). Lose to Obsidian Skill reduxed 800 times.
0-12, Skill Wyrm on the Coin, take much unncessary damage because Paveling Book's Freezing Potion. Literally impossible not to have T2 Skillologist into Curve Kirin Tor secret, Valet draw. Curve Hallazeal gets Fireballed, obviously. Double Skillands Portal to face after securing board and potentially threatening lethal with Bloodlust.
0-13, Garbagelock with Stonehills. Lose to opponent having double spell power, double Defile in their top half of their deck into Abyssal on curve. Kalimos board gets wiped by literally fucking Dread Infernal. Can't break taunt to stop Doomsayer, DK obviously wins.
Both quests complete with not a single win at Rank 9-10 against clearly
amazing players.
17 straight losses. Also, my 8+ drop quest still isn't done.
Remember kids, Hearthstone is a skill-based game.
