Its a dumb idea to pick ancient watcher or nerubian egg in arena. I work based on a rule of threes. If you have a card that needs another card to activate it, you should have three activators for it for each copy you have. And you can't guarantee you'll have three activators for those things.
When the options are like Grimscale Oracle or something, you pick Ancient as the 1/30.
Well, since it has worked 0/3 times I might have to re-consider.

Nerubian Egg isn't awful without an activator. At the very least it can give you an out when the inevitable Flamestrike hits.
Both of the taunt givers are rares so realistically all you can count on are owls and spellbreakers. I mean you really have to have a bad pick to choose the ancient watcher.
True enough I suppose, you could always consider your opponent's potential AOE as 1/2 activators, but you'd still want at least a couple activators of your own before you pick it. Maybe not bottom tier but certainly below average.
What did I miss?
When Tarei (Freeze Mage) had RenieHouR (Shaman) down to 4, he used one Ice Lance on himself before killing RenieHouR with the other Ice Lance, making it look a bit like touch control fail.

I wasn't really impressed by reniehour's play with that priest deck, but it is possible he was going to lose regardless of a couple small mistakes he made.

That freeze mage is so inspiring to watch. Technical as hell.

While he played really well, he had some really damn good draws.
This mostly, there was almost no version where Reniehour would come out on top during the matches. Tarei just got the right draws. Probably time to put a wailing soul or 2 back into some decks I guess since freeze mage might see some more play on the ladder due to this game.

And reniehour just didn't play well. That thoughtsteal actually screwed him, especially with that doomsayer where he killed off his own minions to kill it, which just ended up getting him 0 damage or board presence anyway.

Pathetically passive. You can't play around Moltens for 6 turns ffs.

Harrison Jones vs Jaraxxus DREAM
Tell me about it. I dunno why he was so chicken shit when so many threats were crossed out.

That was the worst game of Hearthstone I've ever seen. Reminds me of when Kripp broke that Shaman bot.

Will we ever get a more entertaining match.

he was afraid to lower lock's health to 10, because next turn you have jaxx + molten out. It seems he wanted to have enough to kill him in one turn.

I'm sad FrozenIce lost, but honestly he shouldn't have made it that far. RunandGun just played very poorly in the 4th and 5th matches, almost certainly due to nerves... otherwise the decks were pretty much designed to outplay Handlock.
He was too afraid even in the times where he already delayed too much. At one point I believe he had the warlock at 14, could have hit with the slime to 13 for lethal next turn with holy fire but still didn't attack at all.
