I thought that I'd be losing the match when I ended up with one card left while the opponent had all his cards intact, so I _**skipped to results**_ and to my surprise I won the match.

I had to watch the replay a couple of time until I found the answer. It turns out that from the 20th round, a point will be deducted from the HP of all cards in the arena due to _fatigue_ until there is a clear winner.
