The Close Call with a Black Dragon


Deck: Ultimate Synergy

It was a one-sided battle. A shaman was fighting back against my colorful army quite pitifully. Because he didn't have enough cards, I soon found myself with six minions on the battlefield against his empty side. Feeling bored and unchallenged, I beat the shaman to a single health point, then toyed with him like a cat with its prey. Even if he pulled out a legendary minion, I had ways to silence and copy it to my will. There was something that was disconcerting, however... the shaman was not conceding to me. Though his life hung in the balance, he continued fighting for his life, groping at whatever cards he was able to summon. I brushed off the feeling, continuing to simply execute anything he would place before my formidable army.
In time, I powered up the Mind Games spell, and decided to see what few cards he had left. To my surprise and horror, Deathwing the Destroyer materialized before me! So that was the trick this shaman was hiding! He knew that I, a lowly priest, would have no way to defeat a black dragon if that dragon were to come and burn up all of my minions with his cataclysmic power! I had been a fool to toy with the shaman, and my hubris had nearly caused me a humiliating death. The shaman's secret thankfully revealed, I lopped his head off before he could do anything else.
