I was playing Arena today, I was a warrior against a Druid, I was 5-1. My uncle (who got me into Hearthstone) was sitting next to me.
It's a battle, he's got tons of removal (T10 or so and he's played 2 Swipes and some other stuff, Starfire I think? The one that only works on minions) but I'm finally starting to get some decent board position. I'm down to 11 health though, so a lot of my taunts are on the board. He's at full health or close to it.
He plays Deathwing, discarding Bite and Starfire. Even if I armor up next turn, Deathwing+Shapeshift kills me. Crap.
So I play a Mind Control Tech, Defender of Argus, armor up, and hope he can't remove or silence my taunt. He plays Ragnaros, which hits my Defender. My board is clear and now I'm facing down 12/8 Deathwing and Rag. In arena. My health is 12. Oh crap. I have no removal in my hand. My uncle says "well this guy's going to 12 wins."
I play Battle Rage to draw one card, it's Execute. All right. Execute Deathwing. Play Stormpike Commando, hit Rag for 2, armor up. I want Rag to hit my minion because I have Korkron and Dark Iron Dwarf in my hand, but Rag hits my face. I survive that plus a Starfall to the face too, and I manage to regain control of the board and win with 3 health left.
I can't believe I won that game.
