Here's a fun Lethal puzzle I had in my game that I sadly missed by 1 damage:



Solution

Cast First Flame on Tavish to get him to 5 health, Vicious Slitherspear goes to 2 attack (8 mana left)
Cast Wildfire, Vicious Slitherspear goes to 3 attack and Hero Power goes to 5 damage (7 mana left)
Cast Shooting Star on any minions without hitting Tavish, Vicious Slitherspear goes to 4 attack (6 mana left)
Play Reckless Apprentice, which clears all enemy minions and HKs Tavish, setting your Hero Power to 7 damage, and does 5 damage to the enemy hero (2 mana left)
Hero Power face for 7 damage and send the 2 minions face for 7 more damage for exact lethal (0 mana left)

It looks like the Misha on the left was summoned before the Tavish minion. If so, there's an alternate lethal that gets your HP to 8 from shooting star + reckless.

Shooting star brings Tavish to 6, but leaves the first Misha at 4.
Reckless deals 4 face, gets an honorable kill on Misha, then one on the 7/6 Tavish
Ping face for 8
Sivarra face for 3, cast two flames on your minions to get your Slitherspear to 4
4 + 8 + 3 + 4 = 19 damage, 1 + 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 9 mana

Edit: I guess you can cast a Wildfire right before the ping instead of First Flaming

This is the solution I did, but I've seen dumb stuff happen with assumed Reckless Apprentice targeting order, and since the opponent was at 19 and not 20 the OP's solution is more bug-proof.

I'm slowly ranking up again with Tess Rogue and my current version is on a streak, 7-1! Previous versions all ended up around 40% though so I'm sure it will even out soon, but I love the deck because it often involves a lot of interesting decision making and because it can do some very silly things:

The overall power level in Battlegrounds is lower now but the game also feels faster since you have less incentive to stay at lower tavern tiers, and they reverted the change to the T5 cost.

EDIT: Nagas seem particularly great at hybrid builds with Divine shields, Cleave, or Windfury. Also careful going too far into spell synergy since you can easily run out of turn time to play everything.

I'm having one of those periods again where I'm just getting annoyed at how god drat slow all the players I'm facing are. I know it's new decks etc but dear god. You have three cards and 2 mana!!!! what are you doing!!?! That's usually combined at the end of the game with watching them play 5 cards, generate ten more, refresh all their mana, clear the deck and them do the two damage needed to finish me off with a spell they had in hand the whole time. Just Kill ME! I'm not impressed!

This is why I don't play on my phone much. On PC I can just browse the internet while they drool on themselves or whatever.

I've changed to playing mercenaries on my phone and traditional on my PC because mercenaries reads a lot better on the screen, but this is another good reason.

The minions that give no added benefit for tripling are generally ones where you don't like them taking up two slots in your comp. The exceptions are Nadina because her effect basically doubles your dragons, and Leeroy because he's an infinite-attack minion that ignores bubbles.

I don't really think this is true aside from buddies which I believe are now out? Cleave is the first thing I think of when I try to think of bad minions to triple and aside from lightwarden comps you always want doubles on board over a single triple

Cobalt Guardian was the OG bait triple, usually if a minion says "divine shield" or "poison" on it you want to take a moment to think about it.

Virtually every Spellcraft Naga? The only benefit of having a pair over a triple is getting extra triggers on Athissa and the Brute, and both of those are outweighed by the strength of being able to add another Spellcrafter. You also want to triple every minion in Pirate Scam apart from the Scallywags, because you don't have room for a pair of Dread Captains or Khadgars while still leaving a slot free for the bonus token procs.

In fact, apart from the two I named before I can't think of a minion where a pair is better apart from Rock Hydra and some of the token generators while you're still in the build-up phase of an avenge deck.

Divine shield for two turns might be a way of making it triple-compatible. Just a matter of if they're willing to break their self-imposed rule of one turn for Spellcraft.

HI
I just had a kinda weird game. I was playing a bullshit aggro DH, my opponent was a warrior.

Tuen one he immediately Finleys, then the next few turns he was gaining armor or dredging, so I was freely just beating the poo poo outta him. He was down to 11 life and next turn would have died, board + weapon + hand would have done him in.

Then turn 6 rolls around, he starts to emote a bunch, he plays Brann, then frozen buckler, then Nessie (he played from the depths to discount things) My game locks up but I still see his cards being highlighted, I see him just doing stuff. Once my game unlocks, a bunch of turns play out in a row where he just beats me to death without even letting me have a turn.

Is there an exploit floating around that I haven’t heard about? Because that just sucked.

Yeah, sometimes playing Nellie crashes your opponent. The only thing to do right now is close the game and restart. Only happened to me once (mobile, android) but it also cost me the game. Now I just restart when I see them play it.

It seems to happen most of the time when it’s both Brann+Nellie. They said they fixed it in the patch notes but lol

yeah. was able to beat it playing control warrior by being even greedier than they were. its just not good if the deck they are aiming to beat by playing hooktusk, control warrior, can still win by playing super greedy. big key is playing brann + mutanus. takes away a ton of value.

I guess the types of decks I like to play don't really get affected by Drek'thar demon hunter much, so I was wondering where the hate for it was. After running into several Quest Hunters, most of whom got Drek'thar on curve, I see the issue.

I still maintain that the several UiS quests where the reward synergizes with the completion requirements was the game's biggest mistake in its recent history.
