I found the original one pretty neat, let’s see how this goes...
To quote the legendary Riosix:
It's a treasure hunt using your Hearthstone card collection. I'll start it off with a riddle, and you try to figure out what card I'm talking about. First one to answer correctly picks a new card and makes the next riddle. Make it as difficult as you want, just not impossible :)
I’ll start with:
Alone I’m quite fearsome,
you better watch out,
but doubled I’m more than tripled,
and my gurgle - a mighty shout.

Yoink!
Lol, I thought about a Hog-ger. Like the "Oink" sound they make. I must be wrong... right?
You sir.. are correct!!!!
Farming was to tip you off that Cairne is a cow saying moo, but instead it's yoo so Hoggers oink becomes yoink. (I realize now that Hogger is more of a hyaena so plz forgive that)
Wow... All in part thanks to having a daughter that loves Old MacDonald Had a Farm!
I don't tease you!
You don't taste me!
Pretty easy I believe.
Meat Wagon?
Hey, no fair that's cheating, Fed (Types in keyword in search..)
Murloc Tastyfin?
None of those.
Blistering Rot? After 3 turns your board would be full.
No, nothing related to board space.
And Blistering Rot summons Living Rot which doesn't reproduce (thankfully, yuck!)
Yikes. No clue
Zombie Chow?
Well yes! Yes indeed!
Wow, a lucky guess. How is it teasing or not teasing?
This one's stupid but I feel like doing it anyway:
Let's Take it Back to Ancient Times
When He Who Shatters Created More.
This Was Then Reckoned From a Bloodline
Of the One Not in This State Anymore.
Well, it doesn't tease! It was a genuine threat if not dealt relatively quickly.
On the riddle.
Blood of The Ancient One?
Dang... I made it too easy. You are correct again.
Check page one of this thread to see what it meant.
I got to re-read the first page, long time since I did.
Sadly I got no time right now.
In a few hours I will be back.
Two brothers
Same mothers
One's strong
The other's stronger.
Feugen&Stalagg
Tirion Fordring and the new 3/3?
Both are close!
Acidmaw&Dreadscale
Malygos and Kalecgos?
Both are really really close, Tryn is closer.
Less flashy? So its non-legendary cards? Then there is a lot of variants. Twilight Drake & Midnight Drake
R Right!
I would be better in this OTK deck,
But long ago they broke me a neck.
And I still can't win this charge race,
Because I only take second place.
Faceless Corruptor?
Nope. Is there a Faceless Corruptor OTK deck?
I was thinking maybe ETC Warrior but I don't play it
It's rush, not charge.
Patches the Pirate?
Oh, god... there is a Patches OTK decks... But nope.
It's famous old OTK. And one piece of combo can be replaced by another card (that was nerfed).
Could it be...Charge?
Nope. But this card is piece of that combo too.
Raging Worgen?
Re-read the riddle. Worgen is on the first place. Answer is on second place.
Is it prenerf Warsong Commander instead of charge?
Nope. This card can replace Raging Worgen. But deal a bit less damage.
Amani Berserker?
Nope. Berserker do much less damage. It's literally the same otk worgen warrior combo, but with another minion instead of worgen.
I guess Thrallmar Farseer
Nope. Socond line says that the card was nerfed long time ago.
Bonechewer Brawler
Nope. Once again - that card was NERFED. But Bonechewer Brawler is close btw.
Mana Addict used to be +3, a lot of dmg
Exactly
why yes that's right, I'm for the horde
first to move on a different board
Kobold Barbarian?
nope,
I'll hold out on hints 4 a little bit
Mind Control?

I will now be leaving these at the start of every month. Furthermore the total of months won will be at the end of everyone's name when they win at least one month.
In the event of a tie the next time a riddle is made where all that tied are eligible to guess, that riddle's winner takes the previous month.
We have one of those right now....
Can't think of anything else so guessing Illidan Stormrage being that he goes first in BGs. He is not for the Horde however
The answer is for the horde
I like the ideas with attacking or resolving first but that part of the clue is a bit more out there - a different board
This isn't a WoW riddle is it? Lot of us didn't play it...
Nope I've never played it either
Here's an additional bit
You have me gold and cannot burn
My dying words just like end turn
Hog Rancher? (Boar-d... It's been a theme lately)
Haha nope this board is a different game board
It's a strech, but... High Inquisitor Whitemane because white moves first in chess?
You are definitely on to something there
but I wasn't thinking of white
Peon then. A pawn is the first figure moved in chess more often than not. I don't know it's voiceline upon death, but the flavor text says something about a job that's never done and that is what you get to hear when you have nothing left to do on your turn ("job's done").
You got it!
Yep, "Job's done" is the death voiceline
For a long time, I have been too fat
Now I've lost some weight, people's attention is back
But I'm more than hungry, I'm almost dead
I can give you something that my class usually lacks
Good one! Damn, I looked at peon in my golden collection too
Al'Akir the Windlord?
Nope.
Blade Flurry
Gotta be Starving Buzzard then
Starving Buzzard it is, well done!
Sorry for the wait and a little awkwardly I have won the first month of standard since R and Fedrion were also able to guess that riddle. Scores are on page 123.
Frugal in Frustration
Subjugation not Subtle
Trundle to Truncation
Humbled and Huddled
I'm in frustration. IDK, Ixlid, Frugal Lord?
Nope. Frugal means cheap
Feel free to ask questions
Second line could also read Subtractions not Subtle
Have no idea. Is this riddle solve like - spellstone in spell, notebook not note = spellbook?
It is indeed a spell though not a spellstone
The way things are written suggest the card
Sorry, guess bad riddle. It's a new card
As in, it's a REaLLY new card ...
Savory Deviate Delight?
Judgment of Justice?
Anchor with the win!
I'm sorry, I had a very busy day. I'll provide a riddle within 12-15 hours if that's OK for you.
Have you ever made mistakes?
Like when you feel invincible
You really should be careful
There's a price to pay and the stakes are high
Remember to be careful
Take it slow
Because you never know
If mill hurts
Watch your Health
Draw carefully
Follow C'Thun but think twice
'Cause animations hurt
Now I just want this card nerfed
I'm telling myself that I'm not crying over you
Everything felt so good
Never thought you could break the game
I'm telling myself that I'm not crying over you
Boy I'm crying over you
I'm not crying over you
Probably I'm not right, but... Coldlight Oracle?
Nope.
Stealer of Souls?
That's the one!
Oh wow, thought that was gonna be a nope. Where is everyone lately?
YOU + BiRD + HER
Wut?
Me plane his. Mal'Ganis?
Nope, but on the right track, Anchor. Non native speakers may want to run a search for English expressions
Not you + Not bird + Not her
Hint: all of your words were wrong/ second word is another animal
I/bee/him -> Eye Beam?
madcat you crazy son of a stray, you got it!
Your turn to post a riddle : D
OK, this one will be short and probably easy:
I come from out of the past
to defy chance to clear your board.
Defile?
Not quite. There is an old pop culture reference in the riddle.
I could have used a more recent pop culture reference, but I didn't and it's what I've got to face.
Edit: italicized a hint.
Rancor / rapcore?
Good idea, as was Defile, but no. It is a board clear, but the rest of the riddle is about pop culture references and a small pun. Nothing about how the board clear operates.
...although if I were to comment about the card, I would call it strange.
Rebuke?
Nope. Or I might add, not even.
No activity for a while, like there's just an empty space.
Twisting Nether?
Nope. Apropos to nothing, decided to change my sig. For some reason I am obsessed by song lyrics. I wonder if that is relevant somehow...
Genre - soft-rock. Lightbomb maybe?
Right genre, wrong song. Maybe if I switch the lyrics to something more relevant...
Plague of Death? No idea about the clues but that's pretty much the only AOE that leaves no trace (with the exception of Reno) and it's odd costed.
This isn't bar trivia, so you are allowed to web search stuff like, say, my sig...
The "odd" angle is important...
Against All Odds
R, you got it! You're up next!
This is where a meteors can fall.
Two can be burned by a fireball.
Because this can do even Thrall.
What can happen after this all?
Wildfire?
Nope. Its card's name related riddle.
Firelands Portal? I think we're looking for a mage Fire spell and it ends with "al" lol
Not that way. Last line is the main (but anything can lead you to the answer). Answer is not fire related btw.
Colossus of the Moon?
Nope. Its a spell that summon.
I think we are confused about the line: Combustion can to kill full hall. im not sure what to make of it
Changed text of the riddle. Also there is a bigger hint in the other hint.
Re-read the riddle and hints. Answer is already on this page...
What can happen when Yoggish stuff was played?
Anyfin Can Happen?
Yes!
You ask what defines me? I belong to the proud, but there's more
My name? I'm a creature of lore
The first part of me is scaly and strong
I really hope this game will be long
The second part is feathered and swift
If you show dedication, I'll reward you with a gift
Yoggish staff?
R meant stuff. Yoggish stuff = RNG clown fiesta
Yes, my bad...
Diving Gryphon?
Nope.
Nozdormu day? Nozdormu the Eternal
Negative. I'm going to bed now. Will give hints tomorrow if you need any.
Hunting Party? I still don't understand the last riddle
@Live4vrRdieTryn: me neither. I solved it solely based on the hint ("what can happen after Yoggish stuff is played?" - answer: anything). No to Hunting Party.
Meh, I thought this would be easier. Alright, major hint(s):
(1) You ask what defines me? I belong to the proud, but there's more
(2) My name? I'm a creature of lore
(3) The first part of me is scaly and strong
(4) I really hope this game will be long
(5) The second part is feathered and swift
(6) If you show dedication, I'll reward you with a gift
(1) class
(2) it's a minion which can be found in WoW (which usually tells you something about the rarity)
(3) card name
(4) Cost and effect
(5) card name
(6) effect
Nozari?
Negative. I've you give some reasoning for your guesses I can tell you what parts you got right or wrong.
Jan'alai, the Dragonhawk?
The hints:
1) proud+more -> Mage
2) Legendary who is in WoW (had to look her up)
3) Jan'alai looks the part
4) Expensive (7 drop) and need time for all of the hero powering
5) (dragon)hawk: check
6) Gift? Rag-something, yeah I guess I've seen worse gifts.
That's correct and you even got all the lines right! Nice one :)
OK, I promise there are no song references, just Hearthstone:
A molehill writ large
Transformed by the call
And now... seriously dismayed!
Dark Iron Skulker?
No. The first two lines refer to a card interaction you might have seen on ladder a time or two (or a hundred).
Edit: Full disclosure, I haven't played Hearthstone in almost a year, so not recently.
Hmmm. I'd say it's a small Beast tutored by Scavenger's Ingenuity. Augmented Porcupine?
Wrong interaction and card. The last line is a word play on the resultant card name (i.e. the answer), which isn't one of the cards in the card interaction.
Edit: OCD typo fix
And the first line is the target card, which is important.
OK, by popular demand(?) I put a hint in my sig. Oh yes, once again song lyrics (which one can goggle or whatever), but it won't be the name of the card (no song that I know of will do that), but instead a hint for an attribute of the card.
Mankrik?
Interesting idea, but no. The attribute from the sig hint is a number.
Jepetto Joybuzz
Nope.
The target card is a neutral, the card that initiates the interaction a class card, and the result (the answer) is from a different class. How does that even happen?
The interaction was so ubiquitous that the one of the cards (not the answer) was nerfed.
...then later unnerfed I think.
Hmm, all the cards (target, interaction initiating, and answer) have two word names.
The only card I can think of that reliably generates cards of another class is Zephrys and I think you said it isn't a neutral. This has gotten pretty convoluted. Maybe write a follow up riddle for it?
Not even when the target card costs 12 (high noon) in Standard of say more than a year ago? Maybe it duplicates the card as well?
Edit: added clarification
OK, let's make this quick:
Friend of the sunshard
Neither blade nor beast shall pass my crypt
Mountain Giant then Conjurer's Calling into Grave Horror
Damn it. I thought "high noon" is a hint, but I didn't think that this means "12".
R, you got it, and the original riddle too! Great job, and you're up next!
Some classes have this stuff, but only one copy.
When the others have them a lot.
There is two neutrals that give you such trophy.
So tell me now - what they got?
4 classes has it only as a legendary thing. Other classes has a lot of them. Also 2 old neutral legendary can give it to you.
weapons
Lol. I was going to type that earlier today too. Upgrade!?
dylbertarenas is right.
it likes to ssamba
Dancing Cobra
yep you got it!
I'm some kind of masochist
My children have no trouble with your Flamestrike
Just like the ones of that dude with the greenish Fist
Alas, I've never been played as much as that other guy
Burning Blade Acolyte
Negative, it's a class card.
Sindragosa or possibly Bomb Wrangler?
None of those, but Sindragosa is closer.
Boommaster Flark
Zzeraku the Warped
Agreeing with dylb's
Update on the monthly score: Anchor is ahead with 4 and if dylb is correct it means four of us are tied at 2....
So now anchorm4n is answerm4n?
dylbertarenas is correct.
Live4vrRdieTryn made me try a little harder this month. I want to win that crown of the month ;-) Two more days to go!
2 then 4, 8, 16... 32!
They definitely are copying you.
Scaled Nightmare?
Glad you like it. I hoped it would drum up some needed competition here
Here's an extra bit:
Oh yes, fill me with fel
How I love that little spell
Could it be Hir'eek, the Bat as his copies get infused? Too lazy to math
Warm
The numbers I put in the clue aren't actually represented in game, it's a more of a general hint - sorry if confusing
Red Mana Wyrm?
Nope,
Hireek was pretty close indeed
Doubling ImpDoubling Imp?
yep you got it!
Congratulations, ⚓! I will need to decide on whether it counts toward the last month or current month when a riddle is solved or when it is asked. What do you think and why?

My Inner Child Screams Out.
Hit it!! And Then Take all We Can Eat
The Adult in Me Feels Doubt.
No, Run!! Or Be Shot Down in the Street
I think when asked
then if it's tied there would be an intense race for the answer, pretty cool (instead of timing out)
anyway Baited Arrow?
Nope on Arrow. Not sure if you saw it but the maiden voyage in May actually had a 3-way tie: I won it by guessing correct the first riddle into June where ALL tied were available to guess (I had to skip the first one because it was one of our turns or something).
I'll try to post the standings a week before a month ends. Remind me if it's getting close and I havent
EDIT: oh I see what you're saying. And I agree. When asked it is! Note that the tiebreaker question technically ends up counting for both months.
Riddle is easily solved if you play around with the shoot verb.
Crystal Power?
Not a spell. Just think about shooting. If I phrased it differently it'd be solved immediately
Yes, I know this guy. It's Hired Gun,
From Mean Streets of Gadgetzan.
Lot of other minions have guns in the game...
Don Han'Cho? Be cho'd down in the street? :D
Nope, newer card than that. There's a certain keyword that would give it away while scrolling in a search. Naturally I picked a card you probably haven't seen or thought about in a while.
Then maybe it's a fellow Blowgill Sniper,
Who's wants to eat some meat of spider?
Tribe is not murloc..
Riddles is always like "no, no, no, yes."
Now it's a Gadgetzan Jouster, I guess.
p.s. You wrote that it's newer card, but "shoot" is kidna joust keyword.
I sense a little frustration. Feel free to ask questions. What shoots?
Does it Mean Streets of Gadgetzan related or it's literally from MSoG set?
No, but now I understand your guess. Good guess! But 'street' was selected simply because it rhymes with eat.
Bonus hint: keyword is not a bold one like rush or taunt. My bad, I meant something you can search in my collection
is it fire-related?
