And it would have been instant loss without, and maybe slightly better position if he did hit it. That would be even riskier than yogg imho.
He didn't have to win off yogg of course. That was nuts.

Monsanto did a lot of great stuff, both in terms of deckbuilding and play decisions. He was in a position to have yogg save him because of the good decisions he made that game and he was in a position to win the series because of the good decisions he made building his decks and in the games he's played so far.
Dude totally deserved to win the series and playing to Yogg was correct, not his fault Blizz printed a card with text that allows you to steal games you shouldn't be winning.

Man no one is saying he didn't deserve to win the series. It's completely not his fault, you never blame the player.
Don't hate the player, hate the game etc.
Just saying we feel for the other guy who lost to Yogg. RNG is always both feels good and feels bad at the same... someone always get short changed in the exchange.

That isn't even true slightly.
That Yogg still cleared a full board and gave him a turn extra to play with. If he had an Ancient of War the Yogg would've been game winning.Yogg suicide
Keep that hateful bullshit in twitch chat where it belongs.
Lol bro it's okay this is a safe place..blizzard has all abused us in some way.
Looking at your match here I my thoughts:
Turn 6 - He removes your flamewaker with revenge...HUGE red flag...that card means "I have healing don't push me to 12 health and below"
Turn 7 - Even though he has card advantage and a 2/1 on the board and you have 2 cabalists tomes clogging up your hand you chose to cult sorcerer , ping, frost bolt face. Not what I would do because he's at 21 and you don't have much burn in your hand, but acceptable line of play.
Turn 8 - You use 2 arcane blasts on a 1/2 and 2/2 immediately and fireball face to bring him to 8 health...but you have no burn in hand and the revenge previously used indicates he has healing and like i said you don't really want to push him below 12 anyway.
Why not cabalists tome? You're low on cards. When you do it next turn you got an arcane explosion...that wouldve been a much better way to kill off the minions without using two 4 dmg arcane blasts since you had cult sorc .
If you had gone with that line of play the turn after he wouldn't have cleared your cult sorc and you would have been able to clear both arcane giants (sorc + 2 arcane blast + fireball) and basically nullify his main win condition.
So basically I'm just wondering why you're going face so much with spells over drawing cards when you're not a face deck. You really want to save spells to push tempo unless the opponent is much lower and/or you've calculated your percentages to draw burn.
When you fireball'd face you had 14 cards left and half of those are probably minions so there's a good chance you wont draw burn so that means that your only out for lethal is hoping he doesn't have healing and fireball off of tome or draw...which is pretty low chance either way.
So I guess the biggest thing I suggest is watch card advantage. If you're opponent is low on cards and you have a large hand then it's more appropriate to go face with spells. But if you're down in card advantage you need to use any card advantage spells/minions while you can if you're ahead on board.
Again! What a Vanish.
I legit asking because its cool as shit seeing women representative
Keep having rotten thought bro

I've played some tempo mage with double cabalist's tome so I'll take a look and give some thoughts.
Why did you keep cabalist's tome from mulligan? Seems like a card you never keep from mulligan.
On turn 7, whats the point of frost bolting face? You're only protecting a 3/2 and you already have 2 taunts, albeit at 1 hp. Playing around weapons that much is a very poor use of resources. I think your best bet was to start using tomes. You probably could have held onto the 3/2 to ensure spelldamage gets value, which is important for tempo mage.
Now on turn 10, because you took too long to cabalists tome, you can't play yogg with maximum impact. Lets say you played cabalist's tome earlier, and then spent all those spells. You could have dropped yogg on curve. Maybe you should have regardless. Cabalit's tome on that turn seemed even riskier than a lower power yogg.
Thanks for looking through. I didn't actually expect anyone would, as every other time I've ever asked for help in this thread I've been ignored.
I didn't really have a plan that game, at that point I had lost something like 9 or 10 in a row so I figured my only chance to win was top decking all my burn in the right order.
I don't remember keeping Cabalist's Tome. That's pretty shit. I generally hard mulligan for 1 and 2 drops, and my frostbolts.
I really appreciate you looking through, although if I thought I was actually going to get feedback I would have shared a game I was actually trying to win.
Also having both Warleaders on the bottom of the deck. What a game.
Also "struggling to draw correctly" is the best shade to throw in this game. You are blaming the player for the game's faults lol.
Yogg was absolutely instrumental in setting up that win. It drew a lot of cards and put up a lot of secrets that made it much harder for Hotmeowth to do optimum plays. He was setting down Wildpyros naked just to play around Mirror Entity and random spells versus Counter Spells.
Shifter Zerus time... VERY likely it's going to bring out something that might change things.

Yeah... seems a bit easy to DC and get a rematch, most people could see Roof was on top (as much as it pains me to say after he won his 2 matches thanks to Yogg RNG), and by quite a lot at that point.

I think they're playing at locations, but not all the same location. I don't think they're playing out of their own house. But I'm not keen on the details.
