[Game] Card Treasure Hunt (The Resurrection Attempt)

Submitted 5 years, 6 months ago by

I found the original one pretty neat, let’s see how this goes...

To quote the legendary Riosix:

It's a treasure hunt using your Hearthstone card collection. I'll start it off with a riddle, and you try to figure out what card I'm talking about. First one to answer correctly picks a new card and makes the next riddle. Make it as difficult as you want, just not impossible :)

I’ll start with:

Alone I’m quite fearsome,

you better watch out,

but doubled I’m more than tripled,

and my gurgle - a mighty shout.

  • Not a bad guess, but no. The first line you got, the second and third refer to a card mechanic, and the card doesn't literally become an ogre, but like a particularly well-known one back in the day.

  • Another oldie:

    I am an orphan, strong in my solitude

    One day I go to the Faire to see the big attraction

    What is this? I am his equal in stature

    But he is no orphan, and what's more he gets all of the attention

    So I leave the Faire and return to my solitude

    "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"

    0
  • 0
  • Good guess, but no. Doesn't fit the Faire angle I think.

    "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"

    0
  • Also, orphan is about tribe, and Flamewreathed Faceless is tribeless as well.

    "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"

    0
  • So I checked for the most flashy Darkmoon Faire cards and entered their stats into the card search to see if an old minion with a tribe comes out.

    I found Frozen Crusher for Tickatus and Lyra the Sunshard for Ringmaster Whatley. My guess is that "solitude" translates to legendary, so Lyra the Sunshard?

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

  • Orphan is without tribe.The Faire counterpart, is well, the opposite really. And has another attribute hinted at. And the stats are not ginormous, just large compared to the cost, which is also equivalent between the answer and the Faire counterpart.

    "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"

    0
  • And remember that the answer card is old, so scale your expectations of huge stat value appropriately (i.e. not *that* huge). Though I recall that folks thought it wasn't given a tribe because it would have been broken with a tribe. How times change.

    Edit: another mini-hint

    "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways"

    0
  • 0
  • Nope. Stats not so big, or even as big as Frozen Crusher. Also needs a match in Darkmoon Faire for stats, including cost. And absence of tribe for the answer, and presence of tribe(s) for the Faire counterpart.

    Icehowl and Fizzy Elemental fit this, isn't it?

  • OK R, it wasn't what I had in mind but it was vague so I'll give it to you. What I had in mind was Chillwind Yeti and Circus Amalgam, btw. So for finding a creative alternative, R, you're up!

    D'oh! I read the bottom part below the quote and not the top! Sorry, and very well done!

    First, second and third line is a different Minions

     

    0
  • Sounds like "Faceless" is what is in common. Faceless Manipulator for the first line, Faceless Shambler and Faceless Lurker for the second line (and actually Faceless Manipulator works if a Taunt is on board), and Faceless Summoner for the third line.

  • My previous hint means that this is a Legendary minions (:

    0
  • Damn good guess though, cat. Also correct English is, "that these are Legendary minions"

     

    Been wracking my brain trying to figure it out but too tired now. Will try again tomorrow!

    0
  • 1) Bandersmosh

    2) hasn't been narrowed down enough, could be pretty much anything that has the potential for multiple Taunts. I'm thinking Greybough, Hadronox, both Hoggers, maybe even Jeklik.

    3) the most iconic "makes another thing" card is Deathstalker Rexxar imho.

    Conclusion: We need more hints.

    (on a side note, I noticed the grammar error, too, but I wouldn't rule out the possibility that R wrote their posts that way intentionally. Maybe it's a minion with several different cards in the game like Alexstrasza. I can't think of one with three iterations that fit the riddle, though)

    This card is not give you another card, it just makes not what the first two cards do. Is I'm used "make" word wrong in this context?

    0
  • Okay, that helped a lot.

    1) Prince Taldaram

    2) Prince Valanar

    3) Prince Keleseth

    Yeah, you should use "do" in this context, " the third one does another thing". "to make" implies the card produces/fabricates something.

  • Nope, that was the trap :P You're looking for only one card and you need to think about another feature of the two cards in the equation.

  • Sleepy Dragon? Without Ysera and Maligos there is only one 9 mana 4/12.

    0
  • Plenty of 4/12's. Math is hard when you are dealing with an unknown number. If we are talking about 5-X and X>5 then it would be a negative number meaning your opponent gains cards so my guess is Hoarding Dragon but I doubt it is right.

     

    Also I saw no problem in using "make" in the sense it was used. It is less vague than "do" in that context. 

    0
  • No to both of those. You have to think a bit more out of the box. You will find the card by solving that subtraction, but you wouldn't learn how to do that in maths class. The riddle is based on another school subject.

  • Try putting that and at least one of the other 3 cards together and see what they have in common

    0
  • Absolutely no idea.

    First line: Wicked Stab (Rank 1) or Wicked Whispers

    Second: Potion of Illusion so probably Mage or Rogue. Chill could mean Chillwind Yeti or a Frost spell.

    Third: Acornbearer, but that's no longer Standard. Probably a Druid card though.

    Fourth: Focused Will

    All I can say is that we're probably looking for a spell.

  • Firts line also can be Whirling Combatant or Whirlwind.

    IDK. Maybe it's a 1 mana 1/1 minion (like Squirrel or 1/1 copy) that was buffed with Focused Will...

    Frazzled Freshman?

    0
  • OK, putting together R and anchorm4n's work:

    1. Line 1 could be Wicked Whispers or Whirlwind

    2. Line 2 could be some Mage frosty 1-drop, maybe Brain Freeze or Snap Freeze

    3. Line 3, well we'll get to that later.

    4. Line 4 is likely Focused Will

    We have 3/4 of a Wandmaker solution if we ignore Line 3 or assume, err..., the Marsuul Cubs from Adorable Infestation are actually squirrels? I can't come up with anything better for now.

    BTW, if this happens to be correct I feel like this is a team effort so maybe R or anchorm4n can do the next one.

  • @madcat: looks correct for me as additionally the first letters of each line are W-A-N-D.

    0
  • madcat ppl are Going to think we are in collusion. You are correct!  WAND was indeed spelled vertically down ^ ^ Felosophy is the card in the first line.

    0
  • Thanks, but I really feel bad about taking the next one since I never would have figured this one out without them. I was sure that line 3 had to be Acornbearer, which left me thinking about First Day of School, or something else? In Wild you can almost get there (Dust Devil, Glacial Shard, Acornbearer), if you ignored that fourth line, the class hints, and the Standard hint (details, details). Once the fourth line was clarified and anchorm4n mentioned the spell angle, then the answer became easier to figure out.

  • Just go ahead, I wouldn't have guessed it on my own either. Figuring out what each hint means is what makes this game fun for me, winning a question is just the cherry on top.

  • OK, random guess time. It seems to be a "fiend" (demon?) that got changed, maybe to a different card? So the new cards would be Queen of Pain, Felstalker, and Xavius (are there others?). Of those, maybe Felstalker since it has a big mouth in the card art and could plausibly scream (but why would it if it is stalking?). Maybe there is some WoW lore that makes some other choice obvious, but I guess I'll go with Felstalker.

  • CursedParrot is previous Live4vrRdieTryn's nickname. We counted by his new nickname. So that point should be removed, right?

    Re-counted JFK's points - 10. Then 14 is right.

    Abobominator. That's was my typo.

  • Well, no one can beat my riddle. Because your minions also can't miss this murloc.

    Yup, if we already have CursedParrot's point credited to Live4vrRdieTryn then that point goes away and everything seems ok.

    So should be. Because that nickname doesn't exist anymore and we added all points to Live4vrRdieTryn.

  • Thanks for the count, you guys are awesome! I'd say we start a new thread after this riddle is solved. While it's very nice to suggest me for that honor, I think Live4vrRdieTryn should be the one starting it since they're the most active player here.

    The one minion I can think of that literally can't be missed is Swamp King Dred. Doesn't fit the "fin" but that's that.

  • Looking at page 43 there is one post at the end from CursedParrot where he states the correct answer. I also recounted Live4vrRdieTryn's points from page 130-136 and there are 5, which added to the 21 from page 1 confirms the total of 26 if we restore the point to CursedParrot. So I think we should add a point to anchorm4n (to an even 40) for getting the murloc riddle, restore the point to CursedParrot, and remove the point from Live4vrRdieTryn (to a merely amazing 26).

    ok, I'll start thread but I will need to learn how to do leaderboard

    It's not that hard. Just press the "tables" button and work from there. You need two columns and can adjust the rows on the fly. Let me know if you need help! 

    I notice I am confused. Something I believe isn't true. How do I know what I think I know?

  • All correct except that MurlocAggroB has 13, which was my transcribing mistake.

    Edit: added mea culpa

    Feel free to contribute to what the threads name should be. Playing around with a few ideas
