Its just how it goes sometimes, drafted an incredibly good warlock deck yesterday (Fel Reaver/Ogre/Mal'Ganis/Deathwing) and steamrolled 2 people and had a really long game vs a Priest to go 3-0. After that I had the impossible game vs a Mage who went turn 1 Wyrm into turn 2 Sorc Apprentice, then coin frostbolt. Next turn he frostbolted a 2nd creature of mine and also played a secret. That tempo is virtually impossible to compete with and I was dead by turn 6. After another seemingly unwinnable game I then had 2 games which went marginally my opponents way before dropping Deathwing to wipe his board and win the games. The 3rd loss felt like another game where my opponent had strong minions and tempo right from turn 1.
My above arena run was probably the first time I've had such a solid curve consistently in an arena run but still felt behind. Getting a good turn 1 minion out is such a big deal, it probably didn't help that my bomber never hit my opponents 1 HP minion on turn 2 but given my deck and my good tempo every game I was extremely disappointed to only go 5-3.
