Worst Hearthstone Moments 2017

So... I made a mistake today. Genuine one, yes. The result was a little more than I bargained for however.

In Arena:
I'm a Priest, playing a Paladin. I go first.

T1: Nothing
OT1: Nothing
T2: I play a 2/2 minion
OT2: He plays a 2/2 minion
T3: I play Forbidden Shaping

--- "Spend all your Mana. Summon a random minion that costs that much" --- Not my favorite spot to play it, but I didn't have a 3 drop.

T3 continued: I summon Wickerflame Burnbristle

--- "2/2 Taunt. Divine Shield. Damage dealt by his minion also heals your hero." ---

T3 continued: I sacrifice my 2/2 into his 2/2.
OT3: He summons a 2/4 Taunt
T4: I draw and play Auchenai Soulpriest

--- 3/5 "Your cards and powers that restore Health now deal damage instead." ---

Now this is where I messed up. Because I should've attacked first and then played the Soulpriest so that the healing caused by Wickerflame didn't get converted to damage instead.

What I DIDN'T expect was to go infinite. Because the "damage " caused to my Hero by Wickerflame IS considered damage caused by the card. So it tried to heal me again. And again. And again. And again.

I suspect this should be a bug. But despite the loss I couldn't help cracking up.

Faust has also been incredibly stubborn this game. In other news, it's hot in the summer, and water falls from the sky when it rains.

Isn't Soulpriest a 3/5 though?

It wouldn't have mattered if you played Auchenai after attacking, as Wickerflame could have been attacked on your opponent's turn and you still would have lost to the runaway pain effect if Auchenai was on the board at all.

Also, I think they will remove the infinite interaction once the next expansion comes out.

Yes, I had realized. But taking out the infinite interaction I opened myself to 4 damage over the interaction instead of 2 - which is why I would still characterize it as a mistake.

Yes I think they've confirmed this.  They originally claimed it was a correct/intentional interaction (not a bug!), but they've finally come to their senses, now that they're making "Lifesteal" a keyword.

The best reason to lynch Haddock is the meltdown we get to witness on the wagon runup. I mean, we should totally wagon him every day just for the lulz.

Three times in a row, Shimmering Tempest has given me Glacial Mysteries. I have one Secret in my deck.

That card sucks even when you have multiple secrets in your deck, and the card costs six due to Primordial Glyph discount.

But then it's Dr. 6! Without the 6/6 body.  And a higher deckbuilding cost.  And more overlapping counterstrategies that dispatch multiple secrets than Paladin.  But otherwise, Dr. 6!

I assume they were trying to make sure it'd only see play in meme decks, and overdid it a bit.
