[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)
Submitted 5 years, 1 month ago by

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.

Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
"Alone I'm quite fearsome" - a highlander card
"but doubled I'm more than tripled" - the card summons another minion. If you get to duplicate it (in hand), you end up with 4 minions, which is more than 3x the original one
"a mighty shout" - a battlecry minion
I say Dinotamer Brann.
Really nice poem, well done!
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Good guess, but nope. And thanks!
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Alone I’m quite fearsome, // i guess i want to kill it
you better watch out, // no new information
but doubled I’m more than tripled, // buffing other friendly minions
and my gurgle - a mighty shout. // mrglglglgl
Is it pre-nerf Murloc Warleader?
I do what I must, when I must. Know this well.
Nice try, but also wrong. Any other guessers?
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Since it’s proving hard, I’ll give a tiny hint: the gurgle becomes a mighty shout when doubled as well
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Is it Blood of The Ancient One?
Alone I’m quite fearsome, (a 9/9 is pretty big)
you better watch out, (You want to keep on eye on this minion so it doesn't turn into a 30/30)
but doubled I’m more than tripled, (When you triple a 9/9 the total stats are 27/27, and when you double the Blood of The Ancient One you get a 30/30)
and my gurgle - a mighty shout. (I would say the battlecry is pretty mighty)
Carrion, my wayward grub.
You got it! The last line was a reference to how the Blood’s entrance quote is an unintelligible gurgle, but when doubled it becomes the Ancient One, whose entrance quote is a shout and a half (THE DOOM OF WORLDS AWAKENS ONCE MORE!)
You’re up, @KANSAS!
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
I am just going to copy the lyrics from this song with a couple of the words changed.
Early in the morning sunlight
Soaring on the wings of dawn
Here I'll live and die with my wings in the sky
And I won't come down no more
Higher than the dinosaurs I'm flying
Crimson skies of ice and fire
Borne on wings of steel, I have so much to feel
And I won't come down no more
So high, so high
Without my wings
You know, I'd surely die
I found my freedom flying high
I've climbed the mountains of the sky
Floating on the clouds of amber
Searching for the rainbow's end
The jungle so far below me, I'm here alone
And I won't come down no more
Not all of the lines are important, so I wouldn't focus too much one each individual line, but there are a couple of key words in there.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I’m just gonna go ahead and guess Primordial Drake
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
No, but not a bad guess.
If I need to I can add a hint, maybe just putting song lyrics wasn't as cool an idea as I thought it would be.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Lots of hints pointing to Ungoro there... and obviously something flying. First thought about Fire Plume Phoenix, but I go for Pyros because of "Here I'll live and die..." - no other deathrattle cards with flying creatures from Ungoro coming to mind.
Is it Pyros?
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Great job!
onto you now.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Thanks! This is my first try, let me know if it ends up too difficult. I liked the idea of using lyrics, so I'll pick that up with Linkin Parks "In the end".
It starts with
One thing the buffs are why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To explain in due time
All I know
Draw is a valuable thing
Watch cards fly by as the pendulum swings
Shuffle them back till it's time to play
The clock ticks life away
It's so unreal
You didn't look out below
Watch the stats go right out the window
Trying to hold on, but didn't even know
Or wasted it all just to watch me go
I kept everything in hand
And even though you tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
You tried so hard and got so far
But in the end my minions got ever better
You had to fall to lose it all
But in the end my minions got ever better
One thing, the buffs are why
It doesn't even matter how hard you try
Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme
To remind myself how
You tried so hard
In spite of the way you were mocking me
Acting like I was part of your property
Remembering all the times you fought with me
I'm surprised
It got so far
Stats aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me in the end
I kept all the cards in hand
And even though you tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be
A memory of a time when
You tried so hard and got so far
But in the end my minions got ever better
You had to fall to lose it all
But in the end my minions got ever better

Jade Idol
Sorry, but no.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Pogo-Hopper?
There is a lot of referencing to shuffling and getting bigger stats, so Jade Idol does make sense. But if it isn't that then Pogo-Hopper seems like the next card to pick.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
You've got it right! The "buff" was a reference to the cost reduction from 2 to 1 mana. Looking forward to your next riddle
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Keeping with the current trend, I will do another song (Tubthumping), I did take out some of the lyrics. I don't think this one will be too hard.

Carrion, my wayward grub.
Sherazin, Corpse Flower or Lucentbark ?
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Nope, but good guess though
Carrion, my wayward grub.
then Waxadred or even Malorne. There is nothing more :D Or is it a reborn minion ? :D
Edit: Oh wait, there is also Astral Tiger, Immortal Prelate and Anub'arak. But can't say which one tho.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Could be any number of annoying Priest cards, but I’m going to try the most obvious one first: Dreadsteed?
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Correct! your next.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Shit! How i forgot that :P
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
I was meant to be eternal,
a knight with will undying,
a force with strength infernal,
after a thousand blows surviving
Alas, I am weak and frail,
my legacy is to fall and fail,
but mark my words, I will prevail,
this is my vow, this is my tale
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Kel'thuzad?
Nope
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Deathwing/Ilidan??
Mal'Ganis?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Neither of those.
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
The Black Knight? Fits the first verse, but not sure about the second
Ragnaros the Firelord?
he was meant to be eternal in that he was meant to be in standard forever, and he has 'infernal' power.
Though I am not sure about the "after a thousand blows surviving" part, or "alas, I am weak and frail, my legacy is to fall and fail".
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Not those either.
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
So, it was meant to be powerful and live forever, with infernal implying demonic power. However, it turned out to be weak and not good enough, but may be better at some point in the future.
Maybe Lord Jaraxxus?
No, but you have the right idea. Hint: Infernal doesn’t really say anything, focus on other hints
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Ok, so the undying could refer to within a game, rather than within standard, and something that could survive a thousand blows...
Is it Anub'arak?
OK, this is really fun, thanks for creating this game. I know something demonic was implied, but I will go with my own guesses, vastly different from each other.
First one is Annoy-o-Tron.
I was meant to be eternal,
a knight with will undying, [Paladin hero] [taunt]
a force with strength infernal,
after a thousand blows surviving [divine shield]
Alas, I am weak and frail, [small stats]
my legacy is to fall and fail,
but mark my words, I will prevail,
this is my vow, this is my tale [comeback in a form of Giggling Inventor?]
My second guess is Edwin VanCleef.
I was meant to be eternal,
a knight with will undying, [maybe he was trained as a knight?]
a force with strength infernal,
after a thousand blows surviving [a lot of stats]
Alas, I am weak and frail, [base body is weak]
my legacy is to fall and fail,
but mark my words, I will prevail, [summoning quote]
this is my vow, this is my tale
Not those, but @shaveyou is getting very close...
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Also the last 2 lines don’t really give any hint
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
The Skeleton Knight?
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
You got it! Your turn!
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Short and probably too easy:
I come to replace that which removes without killing.
Beware! For I bring death!
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
Madam Goya
Plaguebringer replaced Vanish, which removes without killing.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
anchorm4n got it, including the reasoning. You're up!
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
Straight forward leads my path
You better watch out
Beware my wrath
And my infernal shout
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Star Aligner?
Straight forward leads my path (this makes me think of druids, Star aligner was only ever played in druid decks)
You better watch out (this combo deck was very big, so there were a lot of tech cards, so both players had to 'watch out' for the other players Dirty Rat
Beware my wrath (Star aligner ruled the meta, and he ruled with an iron fist. also, 'wrath' sounds like another druid reference to me.)
And my infernal shout (his battlecry was the reason he was so good)
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Druid of the Flame ?
Straight forwards leads my path could suggest a charge or rush minion, something to watch out for could be high burst potential or an otk, and an infernal shout could indicate a demon with a battlecry, or a negative battlecry, or both.
Is is Doomguard?
neither of them so far, but shaveyou got very close. hint: there's a catch in the poem to mislead you.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

Abusive Sergeant?
King Krush?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
No, sorry. Do you want a hint?
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
I wouldn't mind a hint, but I am not sure if anyone else wants a hint.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Alright. I'll give you one anyway: infernal shout is relevant, but it's no battlecry.
I'm going to bed now and will check your guesses in about 7 hours from now. Good night and good luck ;-)

Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Fel Lord Betrug? He has something to do with Rush, is very shout-y, is a Demon and doesn’t have a Battlecry
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Nope, sorry. Infernal shout is not demon-related.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Ragnaros the Firelord
Carrion, my wayward grub.
No. I'll give you a summary ;-)
Straight forward leads my path - shaveyou suggested rush/charge, this is correct.
You better watch out - shaveyou suggested burst/otk, this is correct.
Beware my wrath - this is relevant, no correct guesses so far.
And my infernal shout - this is relevant but misleading. no battlecry, no demon.
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Shirvallah, the Tiger
Wow, that would also fit very well. But no, still not the correct card.

Explanation:

Some people makes me to fight,
Others makes me silent
And that makes me sad
Because i just want to sit and watch
Ancient Watcher?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
yea,i know that was too easy
Do you wanna do something fun?
I don’t weigh a lot, far less than a ton.
If you can’t read my body language, just listen,
I will talk and talk, see how my ‘teeth’ glisten.
Cast the spell, that within me dwells,
You will get your due, but you will have to play me, too,
I could be called a spell on a stick,
See my lips, how they stutter and twitch
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Babbling Book
wow, great job. Your up
Carrion, my wayward grub.
The hordes they grow, and so do I,
The scourge is rising, you can't deny,
The lord of death craves your demise,
From the city below I shall rise.
Shade of Naxxramas or Undertaker
Nope, but you're on the right track.
Crypt Lord?
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
You got it, your turn.
A short, easy one
My frame is nigh unbreakable,
or as close to it as it can be,
what’s weird is, I’m the protector,
Yet I’m used to others guarding me
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Sunfury Protector?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Snapjaw Shellfighter?
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
Animated Armor?
Neither of those
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Defender of Argus?
Wrong
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Giggling Inventor?
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Nope. Maybe it wasn’t as easy as I thought after all... I’ll try to think of a hint
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Another idea: Argent Protector
Ironbark Protector fits the first three lines, but I don't know what to do about the fourth...
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Those are wrong as well. A hint: the last line doesn’t refer to any specific mechanic ingame, but rather to the minion’s flavor. The second to last line refers to Taunt
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Righteous Protector?
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Nope. I don’t see how that would fit the last line
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
Is it Safeguard?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Cenarius maybe?
"The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"
Cenarius would be my guess aswell.
Khadgar?
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
You got it! The last line is referencing the fact the minion itself is a safe, something that is usually guarded. Your turn!

The seas bane, I bring tides of change
I can flip the game, a big power play
But first, there must be fish to slay

Yup. I thought it would be to easy, Your next DestroyerR
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I’m skillfully trained,
and handsome as well,
I walk through many perils,
for the reward is real swell
As if the jackpot isn’t enough,
My companions are all fair lasses,
not much is known about them,
it doesn’t matter, they have fine... eyes.

Marin the Fox? His companions being Dragoncaller Alanna and Kathrena Winterwisp.

Carrion, my wayward grub.
It was an emoticon riddle. Probably some technology shenanigans made them disappear :P
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
When he's summoned, sound the trumpets
It's totally common to hear
Pay more mana and bigger he gets
But he'll always be lowest tier
This one's hopefully a bit harder.

Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Nightmare Amalgam?
When he's summoned, sound the trumpets (I don't know what this means actually)
It's totally common to hear (In Battlegrounds, just about everyone is playing him)
Pay more mana and bigger he gets (You generally want to spend lots of coins on battlecry minions to make the amalgam big)
But he'll always be lowest tier (In spite of being one of the most prominent minions in the format, he is only tier 2. Not quite the lowest, but pretty low)
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Way off. I can give some hints if nobody gets it today.
A man is lying on the street, some punks chopped off his head
I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Annoy-o-Tron is the first card which comes to mind.
There's that horn in his hand (trumpets), it's a common, there are bigger versions of it for more mana (like Psych-o-Tron), all of them are low(est) tier. And you could argue it's a "he".
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
I actually love that guess. It's still not right, though.
I'll say this: it's an old, obscure card.
A man is lying on the street, some punks chopped off his head
I'm the only one who stops to see if he's dead.
Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Now you got me curious enough to dig in deeper. Forbidden Ancient fits the growing with more mana part, but I don't know about the trumpets and it's no common either...
The trumpets could be the key. Has anyone an idea about that? Maybe entrance sound or something?
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
Lowly Squire?
When he’s summoned, sound the trumpets - has trumpets in entrance quote
It’s totally common to hear - is common
Pay more Mana and bigger he gets - gets more Attack when you spend Mana on HP
But he’ll always be lowest tier - how do I say this... he sucks
Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
You got it! I'll also say that "lowest tier" was a double-meaning, since it's both the card's playability and a lowly squire is the lowest tier one can have in nobility.

I’ve been hammered and hammered,

Make The Cow King an alternate Warrior skin plz
I can only imagine The Caverns Below with more than one nerfs.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Warsong Commander
It was nerfed twice (once reducing what it gave charge to, then to it's god awful current effect. It's drunkards were Grim Patrons, and now it has no synergy with anything, because Raid Leader is just better, even with a charge centric deck.
Nice one! The synergy part also involves Blizzard pulling the plug on the entirety of the Charge concept. Your turn

From the forests of the wild,
I care not for the trees,
But I feel like a child,
Around the beetles and bees.
Knight of the Wild?
From the forests of the wild, (he is called knight of the wild)
I care not for the trees, (Knights don't protect trees)
But I feel like a child,
Around the beetles and bees. (if you play enough beasts he costs 0. I guess "like a child" could imply a small mana cost?)
Or is it The Voraxx?
it is a plant so it comes from the wild. And it cares about the weeds, not the trees. Thought I am not sure about the "I feel like a child" part.
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Spot on, and you even got the child reference. Your turn!
I stood where no man goes,
and conquered demon foes
I am a champion for the light,
But in darkness, I fight
Carrion, my wayward grub.
It wouldn't be Light's Champion would it? it almost feels too obvious, like I'm walking into a trap, but here goes:
I stood where no man goes, - [Not sure about this line]
and conquered demon foes - [Silences a Demon]
I am a champion for the light, - [Is literally called Light's Champion]
But in darkness, I fight - [Again, not sure about this, maybe because he never saw play, thus was left in the dark]
Man, I need to start making my riddles harder. You got it!
"I stood where no man goes" is because he has a unique ability. No other card silences a specific tribe.
"but in darkness, I fight" is, as you guessed, because he never saw play. Also because "fight" rhymes with "light".
Carrion, my wayward grub.
I'm avoided in-game, as I was in school,
For to play me, is to play the fool.
I was created for E.V.I.L, but equality I seek,
But the opponent wins out, and so I am weak.
My gut instinct is Biology Project, but it misses any pun for the second line.
I'm avoided in-game, as I was in school, Nobody liked biology class.
For to play me, is to play the fool. It's not very good.
I was created for E.V.I.L, but equality I seek, Druid isn't an EVIL class, but it was still created by Dr. Boom. It's a symmetrical effect.
But the opponent wins out, and so I am weak. The opponent gets mana crystals without spending a card, making Biology Project kinda suck.

I was created for E.V.I.L, but equality I seek : rogue is EVIL and the card give both players equal weapon.
these parts remind me of Plague of Madness!
That's it! And with points for perfect reasoning too, your turn :)
I come with a small body on field
My namesake is something to wield
Out of context, I shouldn't exist
My effect is a chronological hitch
Screaming faces in billowing green
My predecessor vanished, but I'll never leave
As always, bonus points to anyone who can get the reasons for each line.

I can answer that with a bonus riddle:

Jade Golem
I'm going to guess Jade Shuriken, some if it's a bit of a stretch, but here's my reasoning.
I come with a small body on field - [Summons a Jade Golem, which starts out as a small 1/1 body]
My namesake is something to wield - [A shuriken is a weapon to be wielded, this was the main line that differentiated it from other Jade cards for me, though this could also apply to Jade Claws, but the text refers to "namesake" specifically, not card type]
Out of context, I shouldn't exist - [Traditionally, shuriken are made from cheap, expendable metals. Jade by contrast would have been incredibly expensive to use in such weaponry, and provides no benefit, thus out of the context of Hearthstone, it wouldn't exist]
My effect is a chronological hitch - [The summoning effect gets stronger chronologically as you play more Jade cards, not sure about the "hitch" part though...]
Screaming faces in billowing green - [Looking over all the art for Jade cards, none feature screaming faces, but the Jade Golem token art itself does, when it reaches 20/20 and above]
My predecessor vanished, but I'll never leave - [The Jade Lotus is animating each Jade Golem with a portion of Kun the Forgotten King's soul, making him their predecessor, and he vanished long ago and, true to his name, was forgotten]
No to either of those.

Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
Answer to the bonus riddle: “No” is an anagram of “oN”, which when’s put against a mirror reveals the word “no” in English. What’s a word that’s interchangeable with “no”? That’s right, “not”, meaning you will not buy him a pack.

If nobody gets it, I can start giving hints tonight. I may have made it... a little obtuse.

First hint: It's a card that came out in 2019.

I am not quite sure this fits all of the lines but is it Dinotamer Brann?
I come with a small body on field (he is only a 2/4)
My namesake is something to wield (Brann Bronzebeard is a pretty famous card)
Out of context, I shouldn't exist (I guess this card doesn't make too much sense without the rest of the story)
My effect is a chronological hitch (I am not exactly sure what "chronological hitch" means)
Screaming faces in billowing green (King Krush has a green face and is screaming/roaring)
My predecessor vanished, but I'll never leave (I guess the original Brann doesn't see too much play anymore, though I don't think we can say that this one will 'never leave')
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Fairly certain it's Plaguebringer
I come with a small body on field - 3/3 isn''t huge
My namesake is something to wield - I think there may be a weapon, or gear in WoW with the same name
Out of context, I shouldn't exist
My effect is a chronological hitch - It's a classic card that never should have existed.
Screaming faces in billowing green - Card art shows a screaming green face
My predecessor vanished, but I'll never leave - It's predecessor vanished because it was hall of famed. And also was literally Vanish
Yes, it is Plaguebringer! To be a bit clearer on the reasons:
The namesake is Plague of Madness, another Poisonous plague.
The effect shouldn't exist because there are no other Basic cards with Poisonous and the text "Give a friendly minion Poisonous" would not have existed in the Classic set since Poisonous wasn't a keyword at release.
Your turn.

Firstly, much love for Ayla. I haven't played that game in years and now am feeling the itch.
This might be too hard, I'll start hinting in the morning if it's not solved.
They say Death will ride me,
But yet I help you recover,
Check me out and see,
A brand new game to discover,
Roll the Bones?
They say Death will ride me, - With a lot of Deathrattle minions, you can ride through your deck.
But yet I help you recover, - It can refill your hand with cards, potentially.
Check me out and see,
A brand new game to discover, - This is what sold it for me, since the name is a slang for roll the dice.
Not Roll the Bones I'm afraid. There is a subtle clue as to what the new game is in the third line.
Nine Lives maybe ?
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Grave Rune?
Carrion, my wayward grub.
Neither of those, don't let the reference to Death mislead you, it's to do with the flavour of the card (coupled with a famous quote) rather than the mechanics.
Is it Uther of the Ebon Blade?
They say Death will ride me, - Deathlord Nazgrim is one of the potential Horsemen and his voiceline is "Death was merely a setback"
But yet I help you recover, - The weapon Grave Vengeance heals you, and you also get 5 armour when played
Check me out and see,
A brand new game to discover. - Knight of the Ebon Legion is a card from MtG, but this feels like a stretch.
???
Right class, wrong card
Then my best guess is Ivory Knight.
They say Death will ride me - "Then I looked and saw a pale horse; the rider's name was Death".
But yet I help you recover - Ivory Knight can heal you, helping you recover
Check me out and see,
A brand new game to discover - Loyce Knights from Dark Souls 2? They help kill the Ivory King boss, but again, feels like a stretch,.
???
My guess would be Spikeridged Steed.
First two lines reference death - deathrattle - and riding something. The recovery part can refer to the taunt aspect of it.
The last two lines may refer to its flavour text: “What beats cavalry? Dinosaur Cavalry!” Which may imply a “whole new game” once you click on it and try dinosaur cavalry!
This ain't no place for a hero
This is probably it, the game being chess

You got it, the brand new game being chess, with the added Check reference in the third line. You got the quote right as well!
Your turn.
It is yet to be unleashed,
A power your deck can't handle.
Flames brighter than Rakanishu,
"You no take candle!".
It seems pretty ambiguous, but there are some pretty big hints here and there. This is also the last thing before I'm off to sleep (I live in Singapore and it's 9:30 PM here), so I'll only be able to check your answers in 7-8 hours.
???
Waxadred?
”It is yet to be unleashed” - wasn’t released yet
”A power your deck can’t handle” - his power has to do with your deck
”Flames brighter than Rakanishu” - his wax body is much bigger than Rakanishu’s puny lamp
”You no take candle” - do I need to explain?

Correct. Seems it was easier than I anticipated. You're next.

Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
C'mon guys it is not so hard. I want to guess so answer it :D
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
I am absolutely stumped... my best guess is probably Gladiator's Longbow.
The first line indicates something to do with a weapon.
The second line could refer to take on a challenge, and maybe "let me hurray" could mean winning a fight against someone.
The third line probably relates to the Hunter class and killing lots of stuff.
The last line could mean it's not a common card, and "bulky prey" could mean it has a lot of attack.
My second guess is Gorehowl, considering it is a blade and it has a lot of attack, but it has nothing to do with Hunters at all.
???
no sadly, for the hint it is a minion and think it like the card says the riddle not me.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
somehow I think it's Southsea Deckhand, the riddle sounds like pirate-ish. on the other side: are pirates that smart?
tribe is correct but sadly not this card too.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
then probably Captain Greenskin, as he is looking for somebody to slay
not that one either.
another hint; it came in 2016.
Unpopular Opinion Incarnate
Dread Corsair or maybe Silithid Swarmer?
I think it's Luckydo Buccaneer. Naga Corsair would fit as well, but that might be the reference for "no common"...
(We already got hinted at a minion, a pirate and release in 2016 [WotoG, Kara, MoG], it should be somehow weapon-related and capable of hitting big targets)
I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?
Harry James Potter-Evans-Verres, hpmor.com
I think it is Luckydo Buccaneer, but for the sake of maybe sneaking a win I'll do an alternate interpretation. It could also be Southsea Squidface.
Show me a weapon, I will obey - the effect only works if you control a weapon.
Sharpen your blade and let me hurray! - its flavour text literally mentions sharpening your blade.
Show me the hunt that you want to slay - I'm not sure on the relevance of this part for Southsea or Luckydo.
No common blades for a bulky prey - it wasn't really used in Standard until the release of Kingsbane.

Hmm. Turns out he's dead.
yeah it is Luckydo Buccaneer;
Show me a weapon, I will obey - This line says "I'm a pirate"
Sharpen your blade and let me hurray! - To be able to activate my battlecry, buff your weapon (hurray here means attack like a attacking shout; HURRAAAAAYY ! ; yaaarrrr! would be so easy =) )
Show me the hunt that you want to slay - This has no hint but binds the line below
No common blades for a bulky prey - common blades (which is Rogue HP) don't help me kill bigger minions with my 5/5 stats for 6 mana, let me be 9/9 for 6 mana to kill fat guys.
Your go ! :)

Big-Time Racketeer? He’s Common yet expensive (precious), he’s only a 1/1, and he summons a “Friend”. Also, that’s a pretty cool leaderboard!
