So, what exactly happens to determine a winner after 25 rounds?
I had a League match tonight where, despite being "behind" after 25 rounds and being declared the loser, I could guarantee a mutual stalemate.
Opponent: Typical 13-cost cheating Spell Fork lineup, in this case Spell Fork - [Back] Storm Wyvern : Renewing Cleric : Speed Piker : Water Wall : Soulstealer Lich (mostly Lv2)
Myself: Uneasy Sleep - Speed Piker : Oblivion : Tree of Life : Mountain Giant : Soulstealer Lich (all Lv4 except Lv3 Tree)
Despite the unfortunate luck of having my Troll lined up with his Water Wall, Uneasy Sleep bought me enough time to kill some things before I had permanently dead minions. The position after 25 rounds consisted of my 2/3 HP Oblivion and full HP Mountain Troll vs his three spell casters (Wyvern/Cleric hurt, but not enough to break through before Wyvern eventually eliminates my Oblivion twice more). Needless to say, if this goes on much longer, its an obvious stalemate - he can't break my Troll, and my Troll can't get through what he has left.
P.S. Yeah, I'm bitter, if a Lv4 Mountain Troll loses by default to time-out, then there isn't any real 1-card boost vs Spell Fork. I guess I'm going to test Bat Swarm in place of Speed Piker, even though it weakens a lot of other match-ups :/
