I love Matt's ability to take an encounter that's not particularly difficult for 7 lv7 players (a young blue dragon) and immediately complicate it by ensuring the whole party doesn't arrive at once, adding another teleport to further complicate things, and then managing the fight once the players themselves further complicated it by adding a rogue fire elemental to the mix.

Right?? I was thinking about this, and yeah, he's just SO GOOD at making such interesting and challenging fight scenarios. It's incredible.

I'm in a LMoP DMs group on Facebook, and one of the most common threads there is 'Help! My low-level party of five totally steamrolled Venomfang!' and sure, a young green dragon is slightly less beefy than a young blue dragon, but it really shows how encounter design is SO much bigger than just looking at the CR in the monster manual.
