In the past, I used to click all cards as well, but that seemed too much of a hassle to me this time around. Thus, I will be entirely relying on hints for the current event.
Without giving you a real specific hint this soon™, what sometimes works (as does in this case) is to Google the entire or a part of the clue omitting the scope of the game to get slightly closer to the final answer. Afterwards, combine what is found with the theme of this event and you should be able to narrow down the possible candidate (Runeterra) cards.
Hope this helps, it did for me (as part of my general strategy).
Nice little game, I got to Round 11 at first attempt. Same score at second attempt, I keep forgetting that the difficulty increases at that round. I will try a couple more times to see if I can improve my score a bit.
EDIT: Round 20 is my best score so far. Correct names followed by which specific set are my two biggest hurdles.
Who knows? Sadly, we really should not be surprised any more considering the amount and variety of bugs they keep introducing with each and every big patch.
Best to (ab)use this (unintended) basic rule change to our advantage as long as it possible. Since this bug does not hurt them in their wallet, it is not likely to get patched as fast as the pack openings issue fiasco on launch day, but I do expect them to fix it eventually though.
Nah, please do not introduce a random order. I like predictable patterns and to have early access to these very insightful achievement guides. Finished or unfinished does not matter to me. I accept all the help I can get/find to finish these achievements as soon as possible.
As for a source, I found this Reddit thread yesterday. I tried a few more achievements afterwards which also work against "friends", so the list is not complete. Also, for the ones I had already completed, there is no way for me to check whether they could work of course.
The Shaman achievement "Friends on the Other Side" is particularly preferrable to complete NOT on the ranked ladder, because From De Other Side is one of the new worst (performing) cards.
My entry point to the Druid guide was just via this thread, lol. I found the Death Knight guide via Google.
As for the guides in general, I noticed the pattern in the URL is an incremental number, so they are easily figured out 😅
Off-topic; contrary to standard behavior - a handful of achievements are currently doable against a friend opponent (ie. F2P account). Some might want to complete these before they get patched soon™.
I think they are still under construction, because yesterday they were are all linking towards the Death Knight class guide. Given a bit more time, those links will eventually be referencing their own class guides.
Perhaps I will contribute a few useful decks like you too, since I am busy achievement hunting as well (64% done).
I think this Cheese Touch achievement is bugged now, because it did not trigger once and I am certain it should have. It also did not trigger in reverse when my Prince Renathal got transformed from the Plaguespreader my opponent got from me a turn earlier.
Personally, I think it is also due to the fact that Blizzard employees (usually) do not work around the X-mas holidays anyways and they might as well extend this event until the start of next calendar year for that matter. Secondly, the extended period might regenerate a little bit of goodwill again.
@Alleria, Thanks and welcome back! I am glad to know you are doing better. Your absence was noticed 😉
Team5 finally managed to fix the rewards track level 400 missing daily and weekly quests issue, so I am currently stocking them up again for jumpstarting the March of the Lich King rewards track on December 6th.
I still intend to buy the Tavern Pass once more (the new Coin looks amazing), but I am not so sure about purchasing the mega bundle this time. The signature cards are just not appealing to me. Quite the contrary actually. Perhaps, the proper time has finally arrived for me to really start spending my huge stockpiles of gold (45K) and arcane dust (474K).
Nice meme card which really shines in Thief Rogue when played via with Swiftscale Trickster. Also works well in Ramp Druid after Wildheart Guff has been played.
So, apparently we absolutely got the first part right with the introduction of the latest Death Knight class. However, the second part of getting a new tier of either 1500 or 2000 wins per class, not so much. At least, I did not find any evidence to support this assumed feature in the 25.0 patch just yet.
I guess grinding the new DK class to 500 and 1000 wins will be my main objectives starting December 6th.
How are y'all progressing lately? 👀
Anyways, here are my current stats:
By the way, I think the new class progress overview would look much better by using a slightly different alignment.
@Avalon: Not sure if this is the correct place to make my next remark, but I think it is as good as any.
It has become clear that with every patch, specific articles are written for each related game mode which is quite nice and very logical. However, this time around (with the 25.0 patch) I noticed that by taking such an approach sometimes not all bug fixes and game improvements get listed on OoC, especially the general ones like these:
[Collection] Fixed a bug where the “Complete My Deck” feature did not work with Prince Renathal decks.
[Progression] Fixed a bug where the level 100 Rewards Track Hero Skin could not be selected.
[Progression] Fixed a bug where players who reached the level 400 Rewards Track cap would no longer receive quests.
Of course, not all patch notes are as equally relevant to all of us, but I personally think it would be a nice rule to at least list them all on this wonderful site. Perhaps I am too early and these will still get listed in a yet to be released article. That is why I waited to post this remark. By the way, my intention was not to impose nor criticize, but purely meant as a constructive observation.

Week 2 is more difficult apparently. Does anyone have hints for the following clues to share?
(Solved) Hearthstone #1: The process of spawn killing taken to the largest possible extreme is referred to as..."
(Solved) Hearthstone #3: You have completed your training, young Death Knight. Now wear this as a token of my gratitude."
(Solved) Runeterra #2: Naughty? Nice? Naughty? Nice? Make up your mind already!"
EDIT: I was really overthinking the Hearthstone clues. My brains should have stayed inside the box this week, lol 😋
No packs here as well, I guess we have to be patient once again.
Hopefully, this is the last time we are dealing with YouTube drops. I expect next year's Hearthstone e-sports events will move back to Twitch again.
Hit me! I will not dodge 😂
Same here, who remembers card names anyways? It has always been: 4 mana 7/7 or Doctor 7 or 2 mana draw 2 overload 2 😋

W00h00, take cover!!

Agreed, truly speaks volumes about where their priorities are.

True, but what I meant was that when the expansion launches doing those visitor missions will once again reward XP and thus become relevant.
