CREEPS! Back at you with a challenge..

Lately I have noticed during my recent play I have been making tons of mistakes. Not necessarily playing the wrong cards, but careless rush-type mistakes. For example, I may miss an attack, forget to use hero power or even target the wrong minion. These types of mistakes are costly to a game but most importantly can be avoided.

One more sweet example: I Frostbolted my own face on turn 2 instead of a knife juggler. Worse off..I was playing on my PC. I simply just wasn’t paying enough attention. Well that stops today!

Over the next week I will challenge myself to play mistake free. Here are some steps I will take to accomplish this mini goal, and Creeps I challenge you to join me. While many of these may seem oblivious, it helps to write them down and ingrain them in our brains.

1. Take your time.

No more rushing. While I may not rope each turn, I will take my actions slowly. Even if the play is obvious, my actions should be deliberate and not rushed.

2. Think on both turns.

I will think about the game during both turns, not just my own.

3. Pay attention to the sequence.

During games I always seem to carefully think about what cards I am playing, but not the sequence or order I play them in. This is crucial with cards that effect other cards or global effects like wild Pyromancer. This also includes the placement of minions for cards like Dire Wolf.

4. Verify before hitting that end turn button.

Verify all my mana is spent. Verify all creatures have attacked. Always do a quick double check.

5. Remove distractions.

No more reading sites during my opponents turn. No videos playing during the game. Focus on the game, during both turns.

6. Do Math.

Always look for lethal. Many a time have I missed lethal because my opponents large board. Remember, their minions don’t matter if they are dead. It’s also important to math up trades and not rush.

7. Draw First.

If you are darn sure you want to draw a card on your turn, try to draw the card(s) first. With Warlock, I have many times hero-powered after I played 2 minions. Always draw first.

With these 7 tips, my goal is to improve my play immediately. I guarantee following these guides will increase our win-rates and we may even have more fun. So take the pledge with me Creeps. Lets avoid these silly mistakes and get back to higher-level misplays!

Until next time Creeps.
