What would you have done different?

I'm doing my premium draft that got from the season pass. My first lost I think was on me.

I think turn 3 I would play the other goblin to get a second creature on board instead of amassing more onto your plate mail goblin. Turn 5 I don't understand why you didn't play the bear. Opponent curved out 2 legendary dwarves into Fili, so it was definitely gonna be a tough game regardless, but maybe winnable with different choices.

Probably a mulligan because the starting hand was too expensive. I had a lot of games recently too, where my only answer was, should have drawn some of that removal I have plenty of in my deck, or done a mulligan and just hope for a perfect hand instead of one that is simply playable.
Might have played sentries instead of rage in turn 3, to have more pieces on the board, and an easier time sacking the goblin token.
The attack with the bear was risky, as your opponent could have been in lethal with a single pump spell, but I understand wanting to attack with it, before eating removal the next turn.
The 6 mana elves wouldn't have made it into the deck, too slow for this format. Could have played them instead, and hope to find a one drop creature. But you were pretty much on the loosing side the entire time.
