When you have Summoners of level 1-2 maximum and suddenly in battle you encounter a Summoner of level 5 or 8!
And you're like, "WTF, how can I bite this guy? - No way."
But you still try to fight because you don't give up that easily.
For example, here I am fighting against 5 lvl Obsidian. I looked at opponent's previouse battles and realised that he uses similar cards to mine, but high-level of course. With "Snipe" ruleset I desided to put neutral Venari Marksrat for sucrifice to increase power of other cards and it worked. Here I outplayed my opponent :)

The battle has just begun
After the sacrifice
After Regal Peryton and Goblin Psychic were defeated, and then easy win
There are some other interesting battles, where Summoner level 1 wins against level 5-8:

Of course, I also lost many battles against high level Summoners, but anyway, here are some examples:
Mine Obsidian lvl 1 vs Helios Matriarch lvl 3

Mine Helios Matriarch lvl 2 vs Tarsa lvl 8

In conclusion I would say: don't be afraid to fight the big guys, you can win!
I prefer to use such strategy as:
Try to fight the opponent, anticipate what he will use, rather than build your deck without analysis.
or
To win, you need to destroy your opponent's plans.
Good luck!
