It should, based on the wording - they both list the Discard as happening first, then their effect, as opposed to something like Soulfire which lists them in the opposite order.
Once you cheat it out you'd still have to wait the 10 turns.
I do think that it being completely impossible to interact with makes it shaky design, but cheating it out a few turns early or whatever isn't that much of an issue.
It's time to enter the Tavern! The best minions have to be versatile, after all.
You must create a minion which will appear in both traditional Hearthstone and Battlegrounds
You will need to submit two cards - one with a normal mana cost, and one with a Battlegrounds Tier
A comprehensive guide on how to create a Battlegrounds card in Hearthcards can be found here, but to summarise, you need to click the small settings option between the input and the preview
Wailor wants us to take on the Battlegrounds this week, so make sure your minions are ready to fight!

For this competition, we've decided to give you a treat - you get to choose any of these three options for your card to qualify!
Spooky Noises
Design a card with the Echo keyword
We will allow 'Repeatable this turn' as well, though Echo is far more flavourful
Not As They Seem
Design a card which transforms a minion in some way
Minions which transform themselves (like Shifter Zerus or the worgen cards) also count for this prompt
Rise Of The Dead
Design a card which generates dead minions
This could be through Resurrect effects, or cards like Raise Dead, or some other interpretation - as long as the minions died at some point, you're good
Does anyone have what it takes to pull off the ultimate trick and meet all three prompts?

You must create a card which features a Tortollan, Tuskarr, Saurok, Vulpera and/or Furbolg in its art.
To be clear - at least one of these species must be present. Use your best judgement on the art - if it's Turtley enough it'll probably count as a Tortollan, for example.

Maybe sort the final table of points in descending order?
It's in descending order, there's just two different sections - finalists, which are sorted by their finalist score, and the rest of the entries, which are sorted by the initial score.
We've seen what Scholomance Academy can offer, but perhaps you're looking for a different area of study? We've got you covered this week.
You must create a Dual Class card using a non-Scholomance combination of classes
Your card can be any combination of two classes, so long as it isn't one of the 10 options covered in the Scholomance Academy expansion. This means you have a total of 35 different class combinations to choose from!
Hordaki asks us this week to imagine what some other dual class combinations might bring to the game.

I love this card. Maybe it's broken, but I love the exploration of new spaces. can't figure out if something is too good if you don't try - remember Gnomeferatu? People were calling that the death of combo decks.

What do you mean? I definitely didn't confuse Ticket Master with Fal'dorei Strider, that would be silly of me!
You're right of course, my mistake XD I should've caught that when I was writing the joke for it, too.

My own Quest Dragon Fragment Warlock beat the one Druid I played against, but I don't know for sure that they were a Survival of the Fittest Druid.
They certainly never drew a Kael or SotF that I saw; they might've just been a Spell Druid.

This is nutso. Absolutely getting included in every Warrior deck, probably every Rogue deck too, unless they're like incredibly aggressive decks.
