Has it ever happened to anyone that they're dueling someone under their level (it was ranked, not by choice) and you don't get any shields for six turns, only heals and high pip attacks. In the meantime, the other player is casting traps, blades, and is getting power pip after power pip... So of course there you are, five turns into a ranked match, five pips, no shields, you can finally use a rank 6 spell, only to be one hit by the other guy...?

That's mine, what's yours?

Yes :( that's happened before. That's my main reason for carrying two treasure towers at all times. The worst part though is when you are faked out by traps, only to see that the attack planned wasn't a single strike but a damage over time spell like skeletal dragon. Death likes to play that. If you are going second, there is not much you can do to block something like that.

Storm is doomed to face shields, so I have a hard time. However, when my pet cooperates, a little surprise called Storm Beetle appears. I clear out the shields and land a devastating blow :-D . But more on topic:

My worst nightmare is fighting an Ice Warlord in Ranked 1v1, when i'm going second. Reasons are obvious I:.

That used to happen to me but I trained weakness and put the max amount in my deck, 6 tc weakness in sideboard and 2 tc towers. Stack both kind of weakness if its going to be a DoT, it'll be the same as a tc tower (55%). If its going to be a regular attack then use your tower. Hope this helps.
