[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.

    Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron?

    Puzzle box is a game

    Yogg obvious a very famous card, plus the awesome/terrible luck videos (I assume) get good views on various channels

    RNG is taking a chance 

    You dance with death because you can suicide with particularly bad luck

    Good guess, but no. "Fame" only means increasing your chances to win in this case.

    Master Jouster

    A card that's only been played in Arena, and gambles on gaining Taunt.

    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.

    No good anwser yet. The Arena playability and taunt are good tracks... As a hint - the card has a big gaming reference and it's partially present in my "poem".

    Sorry for the delayed answser, it was a bit crazy on my side with the virus and kids at home.

    The card was Bog Creeper - there refences were to his flavour text, the BioShock imagery and being good in Arena.

    Here's one that's THREE cards that all have a common link

    A & B are green (but different) & Wild

    B & C fiddle with the future

    A & C are unnatural

    All three have a 3

    Okay so no other guesses means hint time:

    1) The "green but different" - one card is from a "green class" and the other card is not from that class but is green in another way

    2) On Fedrion's guess (re: "Acolyte"), only "B" & "C" have names that reflect the connection - "A" doesn't have the identifier in its name but is clearly part of the pack. ("pack"...is that a THIRD [and actually FOURTH too] hint!?)

    I like your innovative riddles! I just don't have the time to think it through thoroughly. 

    That said, Rat Pack seems an obvious candidate for B. EVIL Cable Rat might be C, but it misses the 3... So I go for Hunter's Pack. If that's true, "unnatural" means we're looking for a spell... couldn't find something fitting for now.

    I'm sure A or B is a hunter card. "Pack" might mean beasts. The green card that isn't hunter might be a common card, since they are displayed with green text in the forum or there's literally something green in the art.

    Sorry for the stream of consciousness style of guessing. I go for Rat Pack and Hunter's Pack. Maybe you could tell us what I got right?

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Okay so what you got right:

    1. B is a Hunter card

    2. Pack was indeed a refence a beasts (though there's a second, punny clue in "pack" as well for any taxonomy people)

    And where you're off:

    1. Unnatural is not a reference to a spell - all 3 cards are minions. Unnatural is a reference to those two not being let's say "pure" beasts. I can't think of a way to explain without giving it away.

    2. The non-Hunter green is not a reference to how common cards show up on OOC. What other card(s) have a literal green thing in them?

    And maybe this is too many clues but I work in live entertainment and coronavirus shutdowns cost my company literally $1.1 million in lost revenue today so I'm drunk as shit and don't care - the "fiddles with the future" clue is about B &C interacting with decks (i.e. future = cards not yet drawn).

    Ok, I might be wrong but and the great problem comes from A, that's the one that make me wonder if I could be correct or no...

    So:

    A:Thunder Lizard?

    B: Raptor Hatchling

    C:Subject 9

     

    I also thought of multi-class cards from Mean Streets, but none fits so... I dropped that "green" theme right away.

    The only other green thing of course is the artwork, and if not well... I'm lost yet again and you made a hell of a riddle.

    Good guess but not quite.

    However, you are VERY close on Subject 9 as C - the “unnatural” being a beast that has been boom-tastically upgraded.

    On A since that seems to be tough spot I’ll say it’s a Druid card (though you are right that the art is green ). Didn’t Druid have a “green” deck that was meta-dominate for awhile....

    Then, the other one's I thought about but was really unsure since it was a Druid card:

     

    A: Jade Behemoth

    B: King's Elekk

    C: Augmented Elekk

     

    If not, I will cry lol

    Edit: I still have my Jade Druid deck in the decks for when I'm bored of standard and want to go Wild, it's not what it used to be, but it gives me some good laughs from time to time

    Two cards:

    With a big smile

    Robust and sly

    Big comes first

    Then the little ones

    Infested Wolf & Kindly Grandmother?

    The "big smile" and "sly" immediately made me think of "grandma, what big teeth you have" and wolves being cunning/sly.

    And then the other wolf being where a big minion spawns smaller minions

    For clarification, one of the cards is a spell.

    I don't think I'm right, but:

    Sabretooth Stalker - smile = big teeth; robust and sly = big dmg & stealth

    Meteor = the big hit comes first and then the little side-hits

    The connection being both are from UnGoro

    Anything in there on the mark?

    The connection is spot on, but... with the wrong expansion.

    The minion is big, but not in stats.

     

     

    I got two more clues, but I'm sure both will give it straight away.

    Big-Time Racketeer & Small-Time Recruits?

    Racketeer has a big smile and is a "big" (i.e. costly) minion with small stats. Recruiter brings out a bunch of "little ones". 

    Both are from MSoG.

    The second one is spot on in the barking part, but not on BEING a tree.

    Gonna give two clues, they are actually wild right now and they use the same mechanic.

    Man this is a thinker - I'll guess

    Master Oakheart

    Oaken Summons

    So you've got the "bark" there from both having OAK, and both cards summon smaller minions from your deck? Also Oakheart is smiling in the card art.

    Not super sure how they'd benefit from taunt though beyond not having the little minions get immediately destroyed? I was thinking cards that fit that clue would be "start of turn" cards (since the taunt would keep them alive long enough to trigger, but I can't think of any that are 1) wild, 2) tree-related, & 3) have a spell with the same effect in the same expansion. Like Toothy Chest would fit 1 & 2 (being made of wood) plus the smile clue, but there isn't a spell that also gives 4 attack in K&C nor does it fit the "big then little clue"...

    Ding ding ding!

    Exactly those two!

    Master Oakheart benefits directly from summoning Hadronox in Taunt Druid, and Oaken Summons is used in a lot of stalling decks for adventures summoning Ironwood Golem or Crypt Lord.

    The big then small is a pure numbers thing, 6 armor 4 cost minion, 9 mana 1-2-3 attack minions.

    And the smile part was specifically to denote Oakheart, cause I couldn't find a better way to call him out.

    Easier this time around, but I felt like making a riddle with a more classic style, almost something that would be used in a D&D session: 

    A riddle within this riddle,

    a  power without control

    a gift from an old acquaintance

    who longs to see you fall

    Puzzle Box of Yogg-Saron?

    It's a riddle itself and it's a riddle what's inside.

    You can't control what it casts.

    It's a gift from the old gods.

    Yogg wanted to destroy Azeroth for having a Titan inside.

    The "power without control" part was top notch and I instantly thought about Yogg, but since it was a gift and a riddle, Puzzle Box! Casino Mage FTW.

    Now, I think this is an easy one:

    I didn't even see that I got it right. This is either really obvious or really hard.

    Ravens contest my army

    I'm a "me go face" enabler

    My friends are blind, but not me

    All I see is Magma Rager

    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.

    Satyr Overseer? It (and it’s tokens) can be killed by ravens (which are usually 2/2s). It’s in Demon Hunter but it’s not blind, it encourages face attacks, and with the Hero Power you can kill a Magma Rager.

    I scoured pretty much every card in the game and I don't see anything that elegantly fits to every line. Scratched off Void Ripper, Unseal the Vault, and others off the list. Stumped!

    Bloodbloom was nerfed, not Darkest Hour, but the deck's called "Darkest Hour Warlock", so it's an indirect nerf to that card... I guess?

    If not, Bloodbloom also makes sense, risky, consumes a lot of mana+health now.

    Tinkmaster Overspark?

    Way back before it was nerfed, it was playable because it could target a minion to transform, but the rng could still screw you over. After the nerf, it became a complete Randomonium because you have no idea what will be hit and how.

    It seems all the tips are referring to the gangs of Gadgetzan.

    Think of a place,

    whose drinks make eyes droop - Kabal potions

    then, a container,

    filled with worms or maybe soup - Smuggler's Crate, aka the Goons

    third, a way of speech,

    so curt it’s almost rude - Jade Lotus (the last tip fits better, but it's out of the sequence)

    lastly, a kind of movement,

    continuous and smooth - something about the card itself

    This would mean it's probably neutral. Red Mana Wyrm?

    I think every part of the riddle gives us a word and putting them together results in the searched card's name. From this assumption I conclude that it will be hard for people who aren't native speakers. I'll still give it a try, maybe someone else can build upon my ideas:

     

    Think of a place whose drinks make eyes droop

    No idea. This might be WoW-connected.

     

    then, a container, filled with worms or maybe soup

    This might be a can

     

    third, a way of speech, so curt it’s almost rude

    First thing that comes to my mind is to slur but I'm not sure if that qualifies as "curt".

     

    lastly, a kind of movement, continuous and smooth

    I'd go with to glide here. 

     

    Thankfully, we have a nice tool for card searching. I've put in can, slur and glide and found out that "can" is part of quite a few arcane and volcano-related cards, ... wait.

    It's Incanter's Flow, isn't it? Inn, can and flow are fitting perfectly, I just don't know about "ter's" as a way of speech, but I'm certainly missing something a native speaker grasps immediately.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Maybe it's not from a set, but a generated card?  Or something like a treasure card from an adventure?  Just trying to think "outside the box", not sure if choosing a non-collectible card is allowed or not, but hey... maybe.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    I assume it's that code thing where the letters get substituted, haven't you done one of those before? If I remember correctly they are usually solved by taking short words like "cop" in this case and see if the riddle makes sense if that means "the" or "and". There are other similar tools to crack these that I don't remember because I'm not into this, but if you really did the code thing and made them anagrams on top of that... that's a tough one.

    So I'll just pounce on the interview part, guess Daring Reporter and beg for a hint ;-)

    Whatever you did, kudos for coming up with yet another style!

    well, maybe a bit Less outside of the box... the anagram does answer the interview question coherently (meaning it’s closer to a set), but consider this: if the anagram only reveals the set, how come that alone is enough to discover the card?

    possibly. the important thing to remember is that there’s a reason why I presented this riddle With an interview: the card is genuinely trying to answer the question conventionally

    I'll try and write down my thoughts about this like last time. Maybe someone is able to pick up a piece and we'll get there together. 

    "cop folded shoplifters"

    DestroyerR told us it's an anagram, so rearranging the letters presents us not only with a coherent answer but also with a hint at a specific card which is strong enough to solve the riddle.

    From "cop" alone I would deduce that the anagram consists of the whole answer and not word by word, since I don't know another word made of the letter c, o and p. So we're looking for a sentence with an unknown number of words, made of 20 letters. (The number of words in the solution would be a great hint!) On second thoughts, maybe the number of words and the number of letters per word are correct... that makes me pretty sure the first word is "the".

    I'd still like to try and think of the solution from the back end onwards like in my example with Hagatha. There aren't that many characters who are iconic enough in context with their set to determine them with a short sentence. The Lich King is another one that comes to mind as well as Arch-Villain Rafaam, Medivh, the Guardian and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.

    None of those ring a bell for me when it comes to the fact that the riddle is presented in the form of an interview. The only connection I can come up with is Rafaam recruiting the League of E.V.I.L. - maybe he did some job interviews?

    Finally, "mischievous spirits" causes an itch at the back of my mind. Maybe there's a hint in here, but I don't get it (yet). It feels like an error textbox for a game, but that wouldn't help solving the riddle.

    Conclusion: I guess the first word is "the" and it has to be a card that is iconic for it's set. For the sake of making a guess, I say The Lich King.

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    The 3 "o"s looks like a good place to go on. Cool, fool, pool. Hm.

    I'll try and write down my thoughts about this like last time. Maybe someone is able to pick up a piece and we'll get there together. 

    "cop folded shoplifters"

    DestroyerR told us it's an anagram, so rearranging the letters presents us not only with a coherent answer but also with a hint at a specific card which is strong enough to solve the riddle.

    From "cop" alone I would deduce that the anagram consists of the whole answer and not word by word, since I don't know another word made of the letter c, o and p. So we're looking for a sentence with an unknown number of words, made of 20 letters. (The number of words in the solution would be a great hint!) On second thoughts, maybe the number of words and the number of letters per word are correct... that makes me pretty sure the first word is "the".

    I'd still like to try and think of the solution from the back end onwards like in my example with Hagatha. There aren't that many characters who are iconic enough in context with their set to determine them with a short sentence. The Lich King is another one that comes to mind as well as Arch-Villain Rafaam, Medivh, the Guardian and Dr. Boom, Mad Genius.

    None of those ring a bell for me when it comes to the fact that the riddle is presented in the form of an interview. The only connection I can come up with is Rafaam recruiting the League of E.V.I.L. - maybe he did some job interviews?

    Finally, "mischievous spirits" causes an itch at the back of my mind. Maybe there's a hint in here, but I don't get it (yet). It feels like an error textbox for a game, but that wouldn't help solving the riddle.

    Conclusion: I guess the first word is "the" and it has to be a card that is iconic for it's set. For the sake of making a guess, I say The Lich King.

    it’s a minion, but not that one. as for the hint you requested, the de-scrambled answer contains 5 words. another nudge: perhaps you should try to think less about how iconic a card is in a set or Deck in order to pinpoint it, and more about how... flavorful  it can be.

    lastly, the mischievous spirits part isn’t meaningful in any way, it’s just an excuse to make an anagram.

    i’m glad this take on the riddle is challenging, but if this isn’t that fun for you guys i’ll tone it down a bit

    If I've unscrambled this correctly, it reads 'Flippers of the Old Cods', which references the flavour text of...

    Could have helped set some traps?

    None of the above I'm afraid. To clarify: there is no lore involved in this card. They don't have an in-game brother in WoW.

    I'm not sure about the etiquette on hint-giving, but as it's been a while I'll leave you with some additional info:

    1. A specific word in the riddle gives away the class this card belongs to.

    2. This card's brother is their antonym.

    A minion who helps setting traps is Professor Putricide but I don't see who his sibling might be or where a groom comes in. In a wider way of thinking about traps, Mok'Nathal Lion could be meant, possible brothers being Savannah Highmane and King of Beasts. Since the riddle indicates the card is rarely used and it fits the "groom" part better, I'll go with King of Beasts.

    (Side note: maybe we're overthinking it and the groom is Stablemaster. Who could be her brother?)

    1. Think about other ways key words in the riddle could be used, or alternative meanings they have.

    Ding ding ding! Nice one! Over to you anchorm4n

     

    For an explanation:

    It's a shame there's no room -- Stablemaster hardly saw any play.

    In most decks for a groom -- She 'grooms' beasts.

    My brother, perhaps -- Her flavour text references her brother...

    Could have helped set some traps? -- 'Traps' indicating that this was a Hunter card.

    Oh no, wait... He's relapsed -- ... Her brother's name is jokingly given as 'unstablemaster', hence the idea of him relapsing.

    I really must agree that the cake is a lie. For over a month now I switched to a meat and vegetable only diet, throwing out all the heavy breads and sugar drinks that were my daily guilty pleasures: even seem to have lost one or two pounds (not exercising hehe) and have gotten back a lot of energy and a lot less heartburn! Proteins and the stuff u find in plants is all your body needs, fellow fat gamers. Give it a try- the cake is a lie.

    Okay, let's see. First of all, I asume that we're looking at the name of the card again, broken into three pieces this time (remember the Incanter's Flow riddle?).

    It should look like this:

    *not for sitting president* - *small insect part 1* - *spanish word for "100"* - *small insect part 2*

    The first part is tough. I guess THE president everyone would think of first is Trump. I don't know what's not for Trump though. Maybe it's just toying with his name and a trump card is meant. Or Trump, the streamer. 

    Second, a small insect. Ant, bug, fly, wasp, bee, ... 

    The third part is easy. Google says the spanish word for 100 is "cien" or "ciento".

    Conclusion:
    Hearthstone has quite a few cards that use "ancient". That would fit the second and the third part. I still don't understand the first part of the riddle, but the only collectible cards that have a word before "ancient" are Blessing of the Ancients and Forbidden Ancient.

    I'll take the riddle by word and guess it's Forbidden Ancient because "of the" doesn't fit and the plural -s wasn't hinted at either.

    (@Live4vrRdieTryn: I agree that this kind of riddle looks really hard at first glance, but if you try to solve them systematically, you usually get near enough. My post was a work in progress, I had no idea what my guess would be when I started typing.)

    Awesome stuff, that's bang on! Your thinking was on the right track with the Not for sitting president part of the clue. For Trump was the right way to go, the Not part indicating to take the opposite. In this case, the opposite would literally be For Biden, from which you can get Forbidden.

    I just feel that it's a little unfair to limit the game to the one or two of us that are Mensa members or esoteric puzzle fans. Just me that feels this way?

    well, since nobody even tried the riddle (and the first one to guess it was right as you saw), i feel like there’s not much grounds to say the riddle was too hard. as long as it isn’t like, impossible, it’s a nice challenge, at least for me

    I'll follow Dermostatic's example and try my hands at this kind of riddle. It's probably a little easier ;-)

    A winged predator

    A feral weapon

    A gesture of respect

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

    Alright, this one may be a little too much outside of the box, but I’ve been setting it up for too long to not do it:

    In order for this riddle to be completed

    A research of history is direly needed

    This enigma is very meta, I’ll confess

    Just remember to look for capitals in my mess

    I think I know where this is going but it will take some time to solve. I'll try to have a look this afternoon or tonight. If it is what I think it is, it's genius!

    First of all, your statement about having set this up for a long time and the "history research" make me quite sure that you have hidden the answer in your riddles all over this thread. You told us to "look for capitals", so I went through fourty.fucking.nine pages and wrote down all the capital letters. They make no sense at all:

    AIIIAIIMIYIIIAMIIIIHBBOIITSIIIIIIOGIIAHCCMCHMAHWRWHSTATOWHQWAIATIJ

    I also tried leaving out the "I"s whenever there only was an "I" in the riddle, also to no avail:

    AAMYAMHBBOTSOGIAHCCMCHMAHWRWHSTATOWHQWAIATJ

    Last but not least, I wrote down all the words with capital letters (without the "I"s). That went to hell as well:

    Alona Alas My Yet As My He Beyond But Oobdi Taunt Stab OG If Attack Health Cost Cost My Cost Health My Attack Health Who Rarity Who HS Twins A Think Oh While Here Q What A In This Just

    Maybe those words are a riddle theirself, but I can't find any meaning in there yet. Does anyone else?

    For the sake of making a guess after all this effort, I go with Illidan Stormrage because of "Alas" and "Twins" and lots of "Attack"s.

    Think bigger :^) you’re definitely on the right track. Let me just say that any posts after I posted the riddle (including the riddle post itself) does not count towards what you’re trying to do.

    I've been scouring DestroyerR's forum history too, and have noticed that particular posts have, to put it one way, awkward capitalisation. 

    I am, however, no closer to a guess.

    True enough, between the interview riddle and the current one there are some outstanding capitalizations. I gathered (in chronological order):

    MTTALWDFMASD

    Plesae don't tell me that's an anagram again. It's sorely missing vowels. Edit 1: Found the vowels, they were hiding in a comment. USOKTYOLERTEPAE

    Edit 2: @Dermostatic please explain the solution to us!

    Happy to! :)

    Starting off, anchorm4n, you absolutely clued me in on how to go about this puzzle with your earlier post about capital letters, so I give you full points for thinking about this the right way. I'd been scouring Mech minions for random capitals (à la SN1P-SN4P) and trying to decipher DestroyerR's posts in this thread for hidden capital cities or misplaced capital letters.

    In terms of my process, I started noticing some awkward capitalisation here and there on this thread, but didn't get much from that alone. So, I went into the mess of DestroyerR's forum posts. Not just here in the Treasure Hunt, but the full list you can find on a user's homepage.

    I worked backwards, which is why it took me some time. We were told that we needed to know history, and I figured that DestroyerR had been working on this for a while, but (thankfully) not for years. Like you anchorm4n my initial search was to gather as many capital letters as possible from all posts I could read in about 30 minutes, which yielded no results and a mild headache. Then, I noticed that some of the posts I'd read had interesting capitalisation. Most noticeable was that these posts all had lowercase writing, with one glaring capital letter. The first one I stumbled upon was this post from about a month ago:

    moroes is a groom, so maybe that. maybe a minion with Deathrattle for the relapse part?

    Proper punctuation but improper capitalisation? I thought this had to be a clue, so I noted the letter "D" in a separate document. I kept going back and gathered some more letters. Some posts were in this thread, some were in the card design competition thread; heck, one was in a thread about whether or not to disenchant your trash legendaries! 

    i don’t know about others, but i pretty much never disenchant cards i don’t have two of. who knows what whacky fun decks you’ll be able to create down the line? in fact, i even go so far as to not dust even a packfiller Minion. you never know...

    Once again, perfect punctuation, excellent grammar but... Not even first person singular "I" was capitalised? Weird. In the end, I had this collection of letters, in order:
     
    D S A M F (Y) D W L A T T M
     
    Immediately after the M, older posts had a normal structure and capitalisation. I knew the answer had to contain these letters. The Y was in brackets because it was capitalised at the beginning of a word and thought it was a red herring to put us off the scent. Then I realised... D for Deathrattle, A for Attack, M for Minion... This must be some card text or a bunch of hints referring to a specific card. From there, it wasn't long before I took the full words rather than just the capital letters and got:
     
    Deathrattle Summon A Minion From (Your) Deck With Less Attack Than This Minion
     
    There's only one card I know of that does this: Meat Wagon. Interestingly, DestroyerR started in reverse, with the older posts containing the last words in the card text. This is really clever, because when you check someone's forum posts, you see them from newest to oldest, and would thus read these words in the order they're meant to go. Also, these posts are consecutive, meaning DestroyerR had to interact with the forum in such a way that they could incorporate their word for the clue in order. *Applause* for taking time and care with this puzzle, I thoroughly enjoyed finding it and was beyond satisfied to have completed it. Truly brilliant.
     
    I've posted all the posts in order in a spoiler below with their appropriate thread and word bolded. I'll post my own riddle soon!
     
    Show Spoiler
    1. moroes is a groom, so maybe that. maybe a minion with Deathrattle for the relapse part? (Card Treasure Hunt)
     
    2. here’s my initial idea, maybe i’ll think about other ideas later. maybe an hp with a Summon mechanic… anyway, thoughts? (By Your Powers Combined - Card Design Competition)
     
    3. this is A blind guess, but kirin tor mage? kabal lackey could be the addicted “brother”, but i don’t know about the groom part (Card Treasure Hunt)
     
    4. ayyyyyy you did it!! i was starting to think i’d have to hint at a warrior Minion. nicely done, your turn! (Card Treasure Hunt)
     
    5. it absolutely is. a hint: From what it seems, the card is just a bit confused as to the name of the set (Card Treasure Hunt)
     
    6. Your guess is interesting… but nope (Card Treasure Hunt)
     
    7. it’s a minion, but not that one. as for the hint you requested, the de-scrambled answer contains 5 words. another nudge: perhaps you should try to think less about how iconic a card is in a set or Deck in order to pinpoint it, and more about how… flavorful  it can be. (Card Treasure Hunt)

    8. possibly. the important thing to remember is that there’s a reason why I presented this riddle With an interview: the card is genuinely trying to answer the question conventionally (Card Treasure Hunt)

    9. well, maybe a bit Less outside of the box… the anagram does answer the interview question coherently (meaning it’s closer to a set), but consider this: if the anagram only reveals the set, how come that alone is enough to discover the card? (Card Treasure Hunt)

    10. i think you may want to change the text. choose one isn’t formatted that way, and the text is barging into the Attack box (Two Quests Are Better Than One - Card Design Competition)

    11. that makes a lot of sense. much better to have a little extra text (which can be put into spoilers, so not even that) during the final vote Than potentially making a card lose unfairly because of lack of context (WCDC Idea: "Description from the creator" should be visible during the Final Voting stage)

    12. if you want to make This a hagatha reference, there’s already a murloc hagatha art you can use (Two Quests Are Better Than One - Card Design Competition)

    13. i don’t know about others, but i pretty much never disenchant cards i don’t have two of. who knows what whacky fun decks you’ll be able to create down the line? in fact, i even go so far as to not dust even a packfiller Minion. you never know… (Disenchant trash tier (and other) legendaries?)

    Here we go again:

     

    Apple initially, then approximately Pi. All behind lots of blood curtailed with that feminine Latin and a machine.

    Afraid not.

    Hint: 'All behind' indicates that the first sentence is actually the second part of this card's name.

    Twig of the World Tree?

    The only thing I'm quite sure I got right is "approximately Pi" - that should be 3 = three = tree. "gore" would have been fitting for the "lots of blood" part...

    Not the card I'm thinking of; however, your thoughts on 'approximately Pi' and 'lots of blood' are both correct.

    Gorillabot A-3!

    lot's of blood = gore

    *don't speak Latin*

    machine = bot

    apple's initial = A

    approximately pi = 3

    Nice one :-)

    Fantastic, you got it! The Latin word for 'that' in the feminine gender is illa, hence the clue :)

    I guess it's a transforming minion. The only one which has a tribe in its original form is Chameleos.
