I think you’ve got me pretty well defeated, but I figured I should at least wait until you’ve made that more certain to throw in the towel.

Thoughts
I don’t see myself winning this one. Too many early blunders… As tempting as it is to summon Arg early, I’m starting to see it more and more as a bad idea. His spells don’t really work unless you’ve already got board presence, and aside from maxing him out he has no way to help you build the board presence he needs. It seems like he’s more of a mid-to-late game hero, unless you can successfully get him at max level on turn 2.

Yeah, I should probably concede here. Good game! I’ve already figured out a couple things I could have done better, but do you have some advice?
The primary thing to keep in mind when getting beat down is that killing the attackers is more important than having lots of hp on the blockers.
Good point. I realized after taking turn 2 that putting so many 0 ATK blockers out wasn’t that helpful. Looking at the hand I had that turn, getting Spore Shambler out might have been a better play (simply because it wouldn’t die to Poisonblade Rogue, and Rogue would’ve died). Of course, the complete lack of Haste or any thing resembling hard removal makes getting aggressive opponents off you harder as Green…
