Opp had a 7/5 War Golem, played a Stormwind Champion. I cast Polymorph on the champion and War Golem remained a 7/5. That just can't be right in any way shape or form. IT DOESN'T MAKE SENSE, BLIZZARD WTF!
I realise now that buffs interact with damaged minions this way, but I just can't accept that it's how it works. I just can't, it's fucking bollocks. I'm a bit confused by that example, as I'd have thought the Golem would be a 7/6 after that chain of events. But yeah, it's weird, especially after playing Magic.
Yeah, my bad, it was a 7/4, became an 8/5 with Stormwind Champion on the field and after Poly'ing Champion it didn't lose the health, it remained a 7/5.

That's what is supposed to happen.
Think about if you have a Stormwind and a 8/1 Golem on the board. Intuitively if you kill the Champion, that shouldn't also kill the Golem.

seriously pissed at mage being so broken in arena... flamestrike is just WAY too powerful in arena. Had some fun decks going up to the 5-6 win mark but once there you just chain into mage after mage with billions of flamestrikes. One even had a ragnaros for good measure... Doesnt help that I havent gotten the choice to pick mage myself in like 5-6 arenas... Seriously im trying to play around flamestrike and am definitely makin the better plays while mages just win off broken stupid cards. How can you even stop a decent mage draft??

I chose to play casual with a deck using only Suggested cards in the deck builder for a class I have only basic cards for. I picked Gelbin Mekkatorque.
He drops that bot that heals a random target for 6 each turn. This Druid I'm playing is just AWFUL. Has Rag and a bunch of Druid epics/rares but plays them all so horribly that they might as well not even be in the deck. I get him down to 4 HP when I'm still at 30 and have full board control.
Six turns later he is still chugging along after using two Healing Touches for +16 HP and my troll bot healing him EVERY SINGLE TURN for +6. He finally won with a Ysera after I ran out of cards.
This isn't really a QQ (although if my opponent happens to read this perhaps he should do so for spending hundreds of dollars on cards and still being that bad) but more to point out how happy I am that I decided to put Gelbin Mekkatorque in my deck. He's such an awful card that it's actually enjoyable to use him and this has been one of my favorite ever matches.
I ended up doing 90+ damage to him before he killed me :D

It's easy, just don't play any big minions for him to Polymorph or Fireball, and don't play any small minions that he can Blizzard or Flamestrike.

At least in constructed you can just hit concede upon seeing a mage 
|
In a match that goes to the wire where we both draw 1 card at a time with one creature on the board. The druid draws 3 swipes, an ancient of war and an ancient of lore....
|
I was joking, but honestly you probably want lots of ~5 health minions vs mage. Fireball and Polymorph feel wasted, but Flamestrike won't kill them.
Just make yourself a 15 Yeti deck.
|
Had lethal on the board against a Hunter in arena. Killed all his minions on the board, he has no cards in hand. After the battle though im left with 4 hp.
He gives the "sorry" emote and my heart comes out my ass.
Tundra rhino + hero power gg.

But if you have lots of 5 health minions you'll only get matched against druids with decks full of starfires and starfalls. It's like how if you have lots of 3 health minions you'll only get matched against shamans.

If you made a 15 Yeti deck you would never, ever, ever encounter a Priest.
|
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.
I needed one more win to get to rank 6. I actually won the game. And instead of getting a star and going up a rank, the season ends and I drop down to Angry Chicken.

This just happened in Arena. Just as you play your sunwalker, it gets hardcountered by blood knight.
Then the enemy plays 2 murloc warleaders. Who the hell drafts those AND gets them right when you need them?
Oh yeah, and I can't play any cards in my hand.
Deck's going 2-2, probably 2-3 if this continues.

so much BS, two games in a row:

Guy has a 7/2 minion out. Nothing else on the board for either of us. I ping it for one, then play a Mad Bomber and two Arcane Missiles. Turns ends with a 7/1 still on the board and my hero with 6 less HP and his with three less.
|
Haha next game I decide to drop both bombers on turn 4. Six damage to the face. WHY ARE THESE CARDS IN MY DECK?

Better off running a Wisp - Much more value and less RNG
|
Sadly I do not own a Wisp, and this deck is using nothing but Suggested cards from the in-game deck builder :D
|
I just got deathwinged with exactly 12 hp
first time i've seen that card playing
|
Made a huge mistake that cost me the game. In arena playing as priest with coin and mind control in hand at 9 mana. Opponent had just played Ysera. Thought to my self "Ok next turn I can MC, not too bad" but if I saw coin and MC that turn would've been 10x better.

Mage broken?
I ran into a druid today that had two ancients of war and a Treant in the first 15 cards, plus a Mark of Nature. Ever tried chewing through 35hp of Taunts with your average arena draft? Of course the first Ancient was innervated out.
