Gah, just came across the Warlock Fucking Murloc Rush Deck (known as 'cunt' for short) with my mage in ranked mode, very very nearly controlled the fucker down to a defeat but he played two power overwhelmings on his last turn to give one of the fuckers a 10 attack which finished me off.
I'm honestly hard pushed to think of anything I did wrong and still fucking lost, I'd love to watch a replay of the game to see what if any mistakes I made.
My card draws could have been nicer and maybe I didn't play it quite right, but sometimes you just get the feeling that your deck simply can't beat their deck, especially in constructed where you can't go in with the specific 'BEAT THE FUCKING CHEAP WARLOCK RUSH MURLOC DECK' deck, because it'll be shit against everything else.
You possibly didn't do anything wrong - it's also down to luck, the cards in both decks and the cards in both hands. You could have played against the same guy again and won. Hard to say for sure though without a number of matches against the same person with the same decks. Also, some decks just can't beat a rush deck, but this is the thing - do you build a deck to combat the rushes but which will lose to almost everything else? Or do you use a mid-range deck that is a jack of all trades but master of none?
Remember that even the experts lose - the key of course is winning more than you lose. I've been watching Trump's recordings of his very recent climb to Legend with his 'Free Mage' deck. It's fascinating. I'm also using a variation of a later version of that deck (I have though added a Legendary - Ysera).
Here's the first video from his original Twitch.tv stream:
