In this same match, by the way, there was an Olive on each side, Gawain from my opponent, and Izrafil from me, played twice (the second time with Raise Dead). And I had Minte in my deck (she wasn't played at all during the entire arena run).
I went into ranked – the Storm Priest continues to perform well (I crafted Jeanne – I don't regret it). But Shadow... I needed to get just one damn win with this class. I took this uber-tier-1-top-1 Hectorcraft deck, which I once had winning streaks with (and now there are three Hectors), and I got a crazy losing streak, almost lost my rank, and quit without completing the daily quest. Everything seems normal, I always manage to get value from the Catacombs, the Shadows are working, and the Hectors are coming out, but against me, there are always some crazy dragons, with Saha + Izri consistently on turn 8, and after Bahamut, there's always Grimnir, and some Dashkas with insane draw power. In short, either I'm not playing well, or I don't know what I'm doing.
To sell my soul
