Bamboozle and imprisoned Minion interaction

Submitted 4 years, 7 months ago by

So, I played against a rogue, who had a 3mana minion and a secret up- either Bamboozle or Ambush- so I played Siamat with Rush and Divine Shield. Would take care of it either way, while clearing the small minion. So Siamat attacked the small minion, and it bamboozled into [Hearthstone Card (Imprisoned Antaen) Not Found]. Siamat should have had enough attack to take him out, but instead Siamat only lost his divine shield, while not actually damaging the Antaen - which makes Imprisoned minions immune to damage, but able to defend themselves.

Just a questionable interaction that I wanted you to tell about.

    Did the Antaen awake 2 turns later with full health? Maybe it took the damage but it had gone dormant regardless.

    I'd say this is a bug, probably bamboozle into dormant was not foreseen so the interaction does not make sense.

    The pleasure is mine.

    My last standard decks: nothing special right now.

    Yeah, this seems unfair to me. It's basically as if the summoned minion gets a free divine shield. They could fix this by:

    1) Modifying the way dormant works so that in this specific case it would take damage (minions put to sleep by Maiev keep any buffs or damage).

    2) Or removing dormant minions from the pool for Bamboozle specifically.

    3) Or the attack just fizzles and does not happen. There are other scenarios where this can happen.

    Had this happen in a Wild match where Wandering Monster summoned an Imprisoned Observer that killed the attacker but came out without a scratch. But it was my secret so I was totally fine with this bug.

    Posted about this a few weeks ago too.  A bug ticket was already opened on Blizz forums around launch so we"ll see what they do about it, if anything.

    Quick!  Someone give me something clever to write here.

    Didn't they say you can no longer transform minions into dormant minions?
    Or is my memory failing me.

    Minions can no longer transform into Dormant minions that are dependent on a Battlecry effect to awaken (The Darkness or Magtheridon), but they can still transform into Dormant minions that wake up naturally with no player input needed (all the "imprisoned" minions).
