Hearthstone / Puzzle: Infinite-damage combos
« on: October 12, 2015, 08:46:22 pm »
A series of puzzles.
1) You have a 10-card hand containing any collectible cards you like. The board is empty, as is your opponent's hand and both decks. Deal an arbitrarily large amount of damage to your opponent. (Assume they have as much armor/life as necessary.)
2) Same as (1), but without using Emperor Thaurissan beforehand.
3) Same as (2), but without using Echo of Medivh.
4) Same as (3), but your opponent's face is untargetable, i.e. you may not cast spells at it or attack.
5) Same as (4), but you start with 4 mana and no Innervates.
6) Same as (3), but you can only damage your opponent by attacking their face.
7) Same as (6), but your opponent has 1 health, so you can only attack once.
Eight) Same as (6), but you may only attack with minions with 1 attack. Edit: When the Warsong Commander nerf is released, this will no longer be possible, as far as I know.
Edit:
9) Each of the above, but your opponent no longer necessarily has an empty hand, and could have any cards. Alternatively, if your solutions already work with this condition, figure out why I put it here.
10) Same as (9), but your starting hand may contain no more than two copies of each card.
11) (Extra hard bonus problem) Same as (4) + (9), but your starting hand may contain no more than one copy of each card.
