Moments You Felt Stupid

I try to forget my worst mistakes but there have been some really annoying ones recently.

Taygete in particular screws me up. The number of times Ive planned out my turn, gone to move my minions, only to remember I needed to play my damage-based removal first or the minions by taygete take damage is too many.

Also, with Songhai’s beholder I had a serious duh moment recently. It says ‘make a unit unable to MOVE’ or something that explicit. But since such a thing had never been done before (except for sand trap but who has time for sand trap? Not even arcanyst vet, which means absolutely no one) I stupidly presumed it was a stun effect (incidentally, when did they change bonechill barrier’s tool tip to ‘stuns nearby enemy minions who deal damage to it??’ It was ‘freeze’ before even though the two mechanics are entrely the same except for the animation…).
Anywho, it’s not a stun effect. And the minion I parked by the lantern fox I thought I had stunned was attacked, and the resulting pheonix fire contributed a lot to me losing that game ;.;

i was playing magmar against a cassy with lots of creep and had her so that she was standing next to creep with taygete in hand, i tried to kill her with her own creep by suiciding taygete into it, the only way i could win, and forgot that it triggers at the end of HER turn. i felt kind of dumb afterwards

Replace Effects in general chronically mess me up. First, it was White Widow, a powerful card In gauntlet. My Scrolls (here rests a great game) instincts tell me to replace before making any play. As such, I always, without fail, manage to miss out on 2 damage the turn she is played and ping before increasing her likelihood of hitting something impactful. Now, I’m reluctant to include Kron on any of my decks since I know that I will miss out on countless Prisoners.

Poor enemy tried to Zen’rui his own Bloodstone Totem.

Woops.

My opponent use Nature’s Confluence and summon 4 Fog (1/1), and I drop a Revenant using Darkfire Sacrifie to watch him suffer in the next turn.

That is not really a stupid mistake Ono ur part, but a smart move on your part.

Used a consuming rebirth, then Lilith’s BBS. Wraith ling spawned on top of the rebirth spot and I lost a perfectly good minion because I didn’t do it first

Waaaay back when it was 2 draw, I missed lethal because I tried to be cheeky and buff a sworn avenger for lethal by chromatic colding my face.(He had 3 hp, avenger at 2 atk.)

Chromatic cold doesn’t hurt friendlies, as it turns out.

It was last month, I was playing my stupid Paddo avalanche deck against Envy. I drop Paddo and the enemy general got teleported 2 space away near Paddo, next turn tried to run away from Paddo to his side because he had only 12 hp left and summoned a 2/1 to block Paddo.
Now all I had to do was to attack the 2/1 with my general, move paddo to her side of the field(he was on my side) and spirit of the wild for the win. Instead I was so excited I actually moved Paddo 1st to the middle column.
TL,DR: Had a Paddo lethal but managed to screw it because of the hype.FeelsBadMan.

I tend to disagree,crafting my 3d copy of unseven,thankfully one was for free is not something i will soon regret.

I really felt stupid when i tried to use a vanar buff deck dependant on battlepets.

Playing Abjudicator before they fixed the cost reduce bugs, then losing the next three games because of it.

Ran my general into a displacer then entropic decayed it although the other way around was clearly in my head feelsbadman

I’m feeling kinda stupid because Faie and Vanar is the faction/theme I liked the most, but apparently every other faction wafflestomps all over it lol. The game doesn’t even give me any Vanar cards through packs, making it even harder to make a decent deck.

I’m gonna have to go with Vetruvian, I like their aesthetic.

When I first started playing Healynor, I mistook Divine Bond for Martyrdom and cast it on my opponent’s Taygete.

(After the obligatory “Oops,” I ended up attacking the buffed up Sister with my general, reasoning she’d want to go out in style. My opponent must have thought it was funny, because he tipped me.)
