I was having a good run of victories with flamestrike as my trump card and that got me wondering whether you could ever beat someone with such a powerful board clearing card. Previously, a viewer mentioned holding back on your powerful creatures till the Mage plays his flamestrikes.
Today i went up against a Paladin who showed another strategy for defeating flamestrikes - not to rely on minions at all. He did the bulk of his damage using his Hero! First time i've come up against a hero that did 5 damage and had life steal.
I used to wonder why anyone would ever have cards that destroyed their opponents' hero weapon - now i know! If there was something i would have done differently, it would have been to get my taunts out early so as not to take damage early on. Then wait for my ice shield or flamestrikes before launching an offensive. That early damage set the tone and i couldn't overcome it in the end.
