META Xecnar attempts to continue his rotating A20H streak to 25 Spoiler

...and loses to Awakened One as The Silent!

What a phenomincal achievment. The current world record, which beat Baalorlord's previous world record by 4 runs (20%). Insane

Did not watch the stream but did Xecnar lose after taking choker and then getting dead branch? If so sounds like how baalor lost his streak last time, forced to take choker then eventually got dead branch + corruption but unable to utilise it cause of choker

It wasn't the branch's fault. The branch came late but was still good with choker because it's free draw that doesn't cost a card play.

The run was going quite well, but HP loss to some horrible draws towards the end of A3 (eg. all darklings attacking turn 1 with no block drawn) made the bosses much harder. Donu & Deca were challenging but Awakened One really punished the deck's reliance on powers. Triple footwork, double WLP among others.

Wait...darklings attacking with no block drawn is a low roll? I thought it was their scripted turn 1.

If it was an act 2 fight it would be scripted lol
