Fear the Swarm


Deck: The Meek Shall Inherit

I was sent with an interesting quest: To summon 40 minions that were low-mana cost. I played with my normal minion armies, but this didn't help me get too many, so I decided to assemble an army of just low-mana cost minions. I knew that I would probably not win too many matches, but my quest didn't require me to win, just summon.
I came across a mage and rolled my eyes, knowing that she would just use her powerful AoE attacks to destroy any minions on the board. But I attacked with my onslaught anyway. I began with a knife juggler, hoping that he would do significant damage with all of the other minions I summoned, but he was soon killed. In the spell that the mage used to kill that one minion, however, my minions grew exponentially every round. Each turn I played more, Life Tapping myself to get more in reserve. The time came when the mage used an arcane explosion to kill off an entire board, but I just kept playing. Even her Frost Armor spell wasn't enough just out of the sheer numbers of enemies.
I had only got her down by 8 or 9 hitpoints when I had seven minions on the battlefield, and was wondering how everything was going to play out, when to my astonishment, the mage conceded the victory to me!
Truly, fear is a factor of battle. I look forward to the day when I have a murloc army to try this type of battle out again.

The Fastest Duel ever


Deck: Go for the Face!

It was me, a warrior, against another warrior. We threw ourselves at each other immediately, bashing each other from the beginning. But I was more powerful. I threw out a raging worgen, gave him attack with my charge command, and two inner rages! His one turn did a whopping 20 damage! This set up my enemy to Execute him, but by then I had hit him with my weapons. Through my armor, he only did 3 damage total before I Upgraded my Great Axe and finished him off. All of this only took 5 turns---a new record for me.

The Stealthed Adventurer

Deck: Right in the Trash!

The warlock I was facing was ferocious. He sent out all manner of minions to destroy me as fast as possible, but I had a secret weapon up my sleeve from the start. When I had enough mana, I sent out a questing adventurer and let my master of disguise give him stealth. He watched from the shadows, leveling up as he watched the action from the safety of the shadows. With every backstab, headcrack, or minion that ran into battle, he increased in power. My health dropped rapidly, but there was nothing the enemy warlock could do to stop my secret power. Finally, I did a combo attack where I blessed my adventurer with Cold Blood. This gave him enough power, though the warlock had more minions, to get the warlock down to 1 life, where I finished him off with my dagger.
