Hi all,
Just a quick thread of community kindness regarding the achievement called 'Forbidden Jutsu', which requires you to summon a 10+ cost minion with Shadow Clone.
While the card itself is only a rare, so most players can in principle finish this achievement, the hard part is that it relies pretty much entirely on what your opponent does because you cannot really force them to a) have a 10+ cost minion, and b) force them to trigger the secret with it. Even with Old Gods around, this one can take forever because you are not really in control...
The helpful solution is to go to Wild, where you can go out of your way to do all of the following relatively easily:
- Stall for ages, reducing the cost of Arcane Giant to 0.
- Then in a single turn play Vanish to clean up the board,
- next play the giant and give it to the opponent with Silas Darkmoon,
- then play Shadow Clone and bounce Silas out of there with Shadowstep.
You will need some cost reduction too, e.g. with Preparations and/or Emperor Thaurissan, but in 1 turn you can make it so the opponent has nothing but a 10+ cost minion to attack you and nothing else with. Since the worst thing that can happen is that you get an 8/8 with stealth, and you have done nothing threatening all game, they should be willing to do the deed and give you your achievement, even if they have no idea what is going on.
Finally, use the 'Thanks' emote, concede, and cash in your XP.
