I just had the most satisfying Arena win today. I was a Mage, playing against a Priest. We were trading minions without doing much direct damage to each other. We were both very near 30 health fairly late into the game (we both had 10 mana gems per turn to play). We both had a sizable stack of cards in hand. He had a 4/7 Archmage down, so I put down Sylvanas Windrunner (Deathrattle: Take control of a random enemy minion) and an Archmage of my own, and ended my turn.
My opponent put down a 2/7 Gurubashi Berserker, then put 2x Divine Spirit (doubles a minion's health) on it to bring its health to 28. Then he put Inner Fire on it (Change a minion's Attack to be equal to its Health), to make it a 28/28 dude. I was basically screwed when he attacked next.
I guess he overlooked my Sylvanas Windrunner, and so did I. I was about to give up when my son noticed something I did not. He pointed out that I could attack his 4/7 Archmage with my own Archmage to bring it down to 4/3, then attack with my 5/5 Sylvanas Windrunner to kill it. My Sylvanas Windrunner was left with 1 Health, but I still had 2 mana gems to use my hero power to kill her and activate her deathrattle, and the only enemy minion left on the board to steal was the 28/28 dude.
It became mine to control, my opponent was left with no minions and he conceded immediately.
That comment isn't offensive at all. Simple games can be fun games. Complex games can be fun games. To each his own.
