    Going for the caravan achievement against a Big Priest and the game got... weird.

    Keep in mind: the only minions in my deck are the two original copies of Soothsayer's Caravan.

    So I made an achievement deck for the 0 cost shadow spells achievement. I had no intention of doing well with it. However, and I cannot understand how this came to be, I ended up 8-3 in wild Silver (okay, I know why, the deck has a decent late game shell and people tend to concede when they can't win). You can grind multiple achievements with one deck, so go for it.

    More detailed "guide" on the achievements you can make with this deck in the deck's page. Enjoy.

    Ok, so quoting your own post feels like a huge "Give me attention!" move, but if you're trying to do the Frenzy Friends achievement, I just came up with a combo that does at least 30 triggers in one game: Gruntled Patron + Defile. I'm quoting my older post because I used the same shell I had on that deck.

    When you're achievement hunting versus a deck you don't really get and it turns out the opponent is also achievement hunting.

    Ok, so this is my first entry ever so I'm not sure how good the card is in terms of balance, but this is it:

     

    Rather than going for a HS version of the card that LoR has, I went for an approach that is closer to the gameplan Garen has in LoL. And since Warriors already have Whirlwind effects (a bit like Garen's E) and Executes (Garen's ultimate), it only felt natural to create something that uses those effects on a single card. Stats also represent the fact that Garen is more of a tank than a pure damage dealer and the lack of a keyword represents his lack of hard CC in his kit.

    EDIT: How can I put custom watermarks? Never mind, found it.
    EDIT2: Feedback:

    Demon:

    Show Spoiler
    Leblanc feels fine, I like the deathrattle synergy, she's what Vectus wishes he could be. Jinx feels a bit strong, 5 damage is a lot especially considering she fits in decks that already deal a lot of damage very fast.

    Nyrast

    Show Spoiler
    I love Teemo. Not the champion, your card. I feel the design represents what he is perfectly in LoL (especially the Demon tag). As far as Heimer, will the T-Hex also gain the stats from the magnetized minions or will it be just looking for keywords?

    KANSAS

    Show Spoiler
    Teemo hinself doesn't really scream bombs. Maybe use the Omega Squad skin, that feels more in tune with that effect. Nautilus feels like a worse Soulwarden, but I guess it does represent the LoR card perfectly.

    Wailor:

    Your cards look just good. Not too flashy, but good.

    linkblade:

    I was weirded out by the effect when I read it the first time, but I guess that's because I didn't know her LoR effect. While I get that Lissandra has the Ice flavor, that isn't represented by the card, so I feel like her effect belongs more on a pure druid card.

    Nerdymcnerd:

    Show Spoiler
    Gain a random keyword feels very highrolly. Maybe just select from a list of specific keywords, like "gain +1/+1 and Taunt/Divine Shield/Windfury/Poisonous/Stealth for one turn (at random)" might look better, although it's also a pain in the ass to keep that at 4 lines of text.

    anchorman:

    Jarvan IV feels weird. I get that you're trying to translate his LoR effect into HS, but I guess his power and uniqueness comes from the "Flash from MTG" effect rather than the attack itself. I don't see how that effect can be translated into HS, though. The Prime version could be smaller in the first half (like a 3 mana 4/2) with a bigger, chunkier version on the second half (like 7 mana 10/10) and it just feels more unique.

    Ashe looks fine, not much to point there.

    ChickyChick:

    Make the attack change temporary or it's just too powerful. Something like "change its attack to 1 until their next turn"

    I like the 2nd Gangplank more, it's more in style with what Warriors sometimes do (maybe you can even let him shuffle two kegs). The 1st version is mostly just Living Bomb, which although interesting, isn't exactly what the kegs do.

    I've had no issue completing this achievement except for Solar Eclipse's extra cast not counting. The only card you're using that I didn't in that replay is Jade Blossom. Dunno what else to tell you.

    Well, Jade Blossom was used in both 5 spells turns and, honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if the Nature tag was given to it by mistake. I replaced it with 2 Treenforcements. I did base my deck on your decklist, so it's also understandable that most of the cards are the same.

    The play 5 Nature Druid spells isn't counting them correctly. I just played a game with a deck consisting of literally 30 Nature spells and did it twice (even recounted both times to make sure) and the achievement did not progress with either of them. Considering the blunder I had with the Aviana + Kun the Forgotten King combo for the "Play 5 cards that normally would cost 8+ mana on a single turn", I'm advising everyone to steer clear of these druid achievements for now or you'll be facing a lot of disappointment.

    https://hsreplay.net/replay/QHzXSLPKHgH3BieEYWtgD2 - here's the replay for anyone interested (you can also confirm my deck). The Witchwood Apple I discovered is also a Nature spell.

    Druid

    The Final Frontier: Seems really hard to achieve without Aviana and Kun the Forgotten King. Ysiel Windsinger might also do the trick with enough set up (and preferably in Wild because Ultimate Infestation). Completing this the intended way through Celestial Alignment sounds like a bad joke. Getting Alignment off and ramping back to 5-mana with five 8+mana cards is a pipe dream. If you didn't get run down by that point your opponent will usually concede anyways.

    Did you get this achievement when playing this combo? Because I didn't and I just want to make sure it wasn't just a bug.

    Played Aviana, Kun the Forgotten King, The Lich King, Survival of the Fittest, Ysiel Windsinger and Ultimate Infestation for a total of 6 cards and got nothing.

    I'm achievement hunting. More precisely, going for the Sunscale Raptor achievement (in a deck with watch posts and Hog Rancher for those achievements as well). I find an opponent in wild and I quickly understood that he's also achievement hunting and I understood it immediately because he was going for a similar deck (with watch posts and Hog Rancher), except he was going for the Demon Hunter Sigil and Deathrattle achievements. 

    So I naturally stopped attacking and hoped he'd do the same. He didn't. My raptor already had 4 frenzy stacks. I was one stack away against an opponent doing the same thing as me and he didn't get it.

    Exorzist, if you're here, why did you end the game man? I still hope you have fun achievement hunting, but why not help a brother achievement hunter?

    I had 16 tickets out of a total of 2622 in the entire giveaway, so there's no way I wouldn't win a bundle unless the giveaway was rigged kekW

    In all seriousness, congratulations to the winners! I had fun commenting on every card instead of on just the most interesting ones (even if my analysis on some cards was very lacking) and I hope everyone had fun too.

    And I agree with the disqualification part. I had some longer posts on some cards thinking about different possibilities for them and it would be a shame if those posts would be as worth as "might see play" types of posts.

    Please Blizzard don't make Mankrik token lethal an achievement, I can't take the grind...

    OMG no! Don´t give them ideas XD

    On topic: Very interesting idea, not really sure if it´s good enough to put it in your deck, maybe if you have some free spot, why not.

    They went there...

    Time to go to wild and dust off the good ol' Augmented Elekks.

    It's decent. Making murlocs fast is always good, but I'd say the biggest draw for this guy is the fact that it says summon rather than play, meaning the Murloc Tinyfin summoned from Lushwater Scout's DR also gains rush.

    Secret mage gets the extra board presence from secrets it so desperately needed. Not only that, it's insanely annoying board presence. Considering Secret Mage is already a thing, I don't see why it should stop, even if they're losing Kirin Tor Mage.

    Aside from allowing Shamans to have an answer to Stealth rogue, it's an answer on turn 4. By then, their stealth minions hae already been revealed and punched your face twice. Sandstorm Elemental was just much better than this.

    Priest actually has cheap tools to kill off the opponents board while playing this. The issue is that, if they're played after turn 2, all caravan become insanely mediocre and hard to stick.

    Frenzy is unreliable when played in face decks, you're dependant on what your opponent does. This should only see play if it's filling out the 2-drop slot, but there are a lot of cards in front of it.
