By the way, these two packs were for Tempest, and in one of them, I pulled my second Animated Darkjann. I generally don't have much luck with Animated legendaries in this game, but this time I wasn't upset, but rather the opposite. What's the percentage chance of getting such a pull, I wonder?
Also, during that one round, I completed all three daily quests, so it was a more than successful run.
The games were also pretty good; in one, I dumped a bunch of artifacts on Ceraskus, buffed him up, and killed him with Sarif on the same turn; in another game, a White Wolf elephant was traded into my board (it doesn't happen often, but it's always very funny), and I one-shot Sarif from an empty hand, again playing the whole game without Deus; and in the last one, there was some crazy vampire – he started playing a regular agro neutral-blood deck, but ended up with Scarlet Sabers, and even pulled an Izuru from Bandersnatch, so he decided to play a generic neutral-rune/forest deck. It looked pretty ineffective.
