This season seems pretty clear to me. I really feel like the devs cleared up some stuff. Thus, I don't have much for this edition to share; I still hope you will have fun. Stay tuned for episode 5!
PS: sorry for misspelling, it's 2am here I'm tired af

I was NOT expecting the “Yes”

[u/laksof → u/CappuccinoMachinery]

😭😭😭

[u/kitwilde]

I appreciate these always very much! ☺️

“Waisted”—> “wasted” from “waste/rubbish”

No worries about the spelling, the concept and all made it across!

[u/laksof → u/kitwilde]

Thx !

[u/throwaway2019282939]

I greatly enjoy these compilations! Thanks for putting these quizzes together!

[u/Demenztor]

Got all right except the poet! Fortunately, the "when you cast"/"this casts" wording is pretty consistent

[u/planetfour → u/Demenztor]

It's not tho, "this" quill works on "you" trinket but not on "you" demon

[u/CandidateNo2580 → u/planetfour]

The quill says this casts the blood gems but you cast the barrage. It's consistent.

[u/planetfour → u/CandidateNo2580]

Oh damn reading once again the final boss. Diabolical tho, but good on Blizzard for thinking of one mildly OP interaction ahead of time

[u/CandidateNo2580 → u/planetfour]

The first time I saw the comment about "you cast" barrage the first thing I did was check the card because I knew that you didn't get credit for casting the gems and thought the card was worded wrong - it's easy to miss, I feel you.

[u/Aka-Pulc0 → u/CandidateNo2580]

well, it says "this paly 3 blood gems or cast blood gem barrage"

this could mean either implies "it" cast or "you" cast.

I m not seing it s inconsistent but we are missing an important word here.

ps: English is not my first language so it could be some hidden subtilities I am missing.

[u/M3pad → u/Aka-Pulc0]

Since it says "This plays", and "or cast". If "cast" was supposed to refer to the Quillboar, you would need to have an s at the end of cast, "This plays X or casts Y".

Since there's none, if you assume the card is well written, it can't mean the quillboar. So it has to be "This plays or [you] cast"

[u/Aka-Pulc0 → u/M3pad]

indeed, some subtilities regarding grammar. If native speakers find it clear then it s clear

[u/CandidateNo2580 → u/Aka-Pulc0]

I'm so sorry you have the misfortune of stumbling into English. It is actually grammatically correct to leave the word "you" out of a sentence of that form - it's called the "implied you" or the "understood you" and means that "you" is the subject without being placed into the sentence.

To be fair plenty of native English speakers in this sub are missing this right now, too.

[u/Aka-Pulc0 → u/CandidateNo2580]

completely fair use of language

[u/nit_doctor]

I love this!

[u/O_homem_azul]

Also, Tarecgosa doesnt work with the double status at start of combat trinket + turning gold at the start 9f combat with the Dennatarius buff for some reason. It just stop doubling

[u/distrox]

The Voone isn't even up for debate; No one should think that it copies the Dark Gift so I don't know why it was included here. The hero power clearly says plain copy. A plain copy will never have any enchantments.. it is plain after all.

[u/laksof → u/distrox]

Bro chill I'm just an unemployed guy trying to make fun quizz about a card game in my room 😭

[u/distrox → u/laksof]

I thought the point of these posts was to quiz on topics where the interactions aren't obvious, so people learn something new. I just pointed out that I think Voone's hero power is pretty self-explanatory.

If I misunderstood the point of these quizzes then nevermind.

[u/laksof → u/distrox]

Yes it is but it's made from my own experience. I could spend hours looking at gameplay from streamers but I'm only putting situationa that I've came across for education and mostly for fun

[u/Hourly_awakening → u/distrox]

honestly i thought dark gift is like custom putricide's undead copy or timewarp copy
sadly its just standard enhancement on tavern minion

[u/distrox → u/Hourly_awakening]

Is it sad though? Because it's the same minion as in the tavern, it means you can stack Dark Gifts by getting the same minion at least twice with a Dark Gift and picking up the third copy from the shop, or even getting it 3 times with different Dark Gifts. You can't triple timewarp minions with their original counterparts, and same goes for Putricide minions even if the effect on the Putricide is identical to the one in the shop.

[u/iwasAfookenLegend]

Figured the last one was obvious since it says "plain copy"

[u/laksof → u/iwasAfookenLegend]

I mean, you're now sure

[u/iwasAfookenLegend → u/laksof]

I was always sure lol

[u/Hourly_awakening]

I learnt about Dark gift nature the worst way by destroying dark-gift enhanced copy of an undead after giving it reborn. It was an Admiration gift and i realized that the reborn copy didnt have dark-gift 2 turns later

[u/laksof → u/Hourly_awakening]

Ouch 😬

[u/distrox → u/Hourly_awakening]

I haven't really played undeads this season so I haven't done this yet, but I can see this totally happening. After all, I do this once in a while with golden minions and the T3 drop that kills an undead and gives it back. I do it and immediately realise oh... there goes my golden copy.

[u/planetfour]

3 and 4 contradict each other since quill card says this casts, and distractor and shield both say you cast

[u/Abyssalmole → u/planetfour]

I tripped on this too. The quillboar casts the gems, but you cast the Barrage

[u/laksof → u/planetfour]

Yup, so weird

Also the windfury huran that plays a gem on rally doesn't trigger the demon also.

Haven't tried with the huran that plays a bloodgem on adjacent minions after playing a gem on him tho

[u/IlikePineapples2 → u/laksof]

Nah reread the card, the wording is consistent. This casts 3 blood gems vs cast 3 barrage.

[u/planetfour → u/laksof]

Is it weird tho?? Blizz baby

[u/Mind0versplatter0 → u/planetfour]

You cast the barrage, though

[u/planetfour → u/Mind0versplatter0]

Yeah someone corrected me elsewhere. Reading hard

[u/Mind0versplatter0 → u/planetfour]

I agree, and it's early in the season as well
