I'm sure something like this might have been done before, so apologies if it has.

Most of us have probably been there; one decisive move left until victory was surely ours. But something terrible happens, a slight overlook, slight miscalculation of one small thing that brings your victory crashing down. And you lose. You're left questioning how such an error could happen - how you could make such a foolish mistake. Let us take a moment to reflect on those moments in Elements where we were close to turning the game around in our favour or we were close to beating our opponent - be it AI or player yet we failed miserably. Here are some of my frustrating moments.

-Playing in the platinum arena against a mono Dark using a RoL, Hope, SoP strategy. I was low on HP and I had enough  :aether to Fractal a RoL. This would boost my Hope shield enough to protect me from the next attack. Yet, my Oracle card was a Photon, and since it was the closest creature to my hand it was the one I casted Fractal on. You probably know how it ends.

-Or when I had strong enough RoLs to defeat my opponent in one fell swoop. But I played a SoP for some unknown reason meaning I couldn't destroy it and win. I lost the battle because the AI chained Phase Shields from that point forward and beat me with Aether shenanigans.

-Or when I execute the Firecell/Limitless Speed False God OTK when I'm missing a card for the combo or when I'm short on quanta and have no cards left in my deck.

-Or when the game lagged when I activated my Pulverizer, causing me to double click and subsequently pulverize my own Pulverizer.

Don't necessarily limit it to in-game mistakes. Sold a Nymph? Mourn about it here. Upgraded a Relic? I can't relate but... it's okay.

Got a 0|1 mutant with Devour?

At this point, I don't even know what to say.

Rather than missing a card for Limitless Speed, I often find that I've played the cards in the wrong order :P

Yes, I've seen that post. It's absolutely hilarious!

Yup, I've done that too now that I think about it. Golden Dragon --> Rage Elixir --> Rage Elixir. I've killed my dragon by accident more times than I should. How many times should I accidentally kill my dragon? Never!

When trying to play a semi-upped version of VDB, the doll gets killed due to my own carelessness.

Also, every loss ever that deals with either the opponent having 1 hp, and every loss ever that deals with downright terrible draw. It's like zanz wants us to lose some matches.
I always liked fire. It "warmed up" to me. :fire

I was playing a CL match with Odii Odsen and I was about to win round one by a long shot so I started playing random cards as in two super novas in one turn. I had a shock wave in my hand and really thought that upped singularitys have 4 hp. They have 5 hp. I ended up with a horrible loss because of the evil singularitys but went on to win the CL match so it could have been worse.
