'Twas the night before Christmas...
...
And the last of the bunch
In the office that evening
Queued some Hearthstone at lunch
With the nerfs that had changed
The way standard was styled
He decided to change up
And queued up in Wild
At once he was queued
His Odd Rogue opposed
By a Thrall Even Shaman
Most deadly of foes
Once the mulligan was done
He soon found that he lacked
A one-drop on one
So the odds quickly stacked
The pressure soon mounted
The game had to be saved
So he slammed down a Swashburglar
And ripped Healing Wave
He pointed at face, crossed his fingers and toes
And the minions were seen
His Owl beat Thrall’s Golem
And he healed for fourteen
Despite this respite
Pressure mounted anew
And as both hands ran dry
He knew what he must do
His health was still low
And few minions on the table
But with no other options
He played Myra’s Unstable
He must heal and swing board
He accepted these facts
So he played out a Vilespine
But not before Zilliax
He now had the board
But his health was at six
And with fatigue now at two
Thrall had plenty of tricks
He topdecked for lethal
Found a crackle with glee
Pointed it at face
But he lowrolled a three
So our hero odd rogue
Knew that Thrall did not win it
With one health remaining
Valeera was still in it
He played out some minions
Cleared board best as he could
And then boosted the Zilliax
With a combo’d Cold Blood
His foe could not answer
With much power at all
So our hero now knew
He could defeat Thrall
So he searched for the lethal
To pick up the win
And the game closed with a cry
LEEEEROOOOOOY JENKINS!

Context - I wrote this last Christmas as a joke for a friend at work. Everything in the story is true - including dropping to 1 health from a lowrolled Crackle and finding lethal with Leeroy - which is why I was hyped enough to write something this cheesy.
Let this be a lesson to all - no matter how acerbic and waspish someone can act, they're still quite capable of doing something incredibly cringey and making themselves look like a pillock on the internet if it might make someone smile.

I see you when you're sleeping; I'm gone before you wake
I'm not as good as turn 4 Barnes; But I'm at least a Twilight Drake
Great fun, thanks for sharing. I'm glad you included the note at the end about this being a year old, cuz I was like "Cold Blood in Odd Rogue? WTF?" Cheers, mate!
