I was wondering if Brann + Black Knight would kill a taunt with Ancestral Spirit (Deathrattle: Resummon this minion.).
I appreciate normally the double battlecry is pointless since you can only kill the same minion once, but with the deathrattle it clearly states resummon THIS minion, so surely it should work?
I haven't been able to test this but my instinct says it probably doesn't work. The answer is probably already posted but I couldn't find it on a quick search.
Anyone know?

I agree the way the mechanics are coded would probably give that result - but the text of the cards should mean both instances of the same minion are destroyed?

Except it isn't the same minion per se, in every aspect that matters it's a new minion that is summoned. There's absolutely no way that the outcome will be anything other than black knight killing the targeted minion twice.
Since the minion you targeted with the black knight already died, and brann + battlecry doesnt allow new targets but instead triggers twice on the same minion, this will not work.
Since the resummoned minion is a new minion and you can't target two targets, BK will kill the first minion twice.
I think because it's the same minion as clearly stated on the deathrattle (and not 2 different ones) it would be nice if it worked :)
Especially since the combo would be pretty rare :)
It's not literally the same minion in terms of game mechanics since it's resummoned. It would make absolutely no sense for it to work like you want unfortunately.
Honestly, I would have loved multiple-targetting to be a thing in the game, especially with targetted battlecries like tbk and bgh+brann.
But they decided that it would be complicated in this game, so it is not in. Everything targetting twice or more is random or 2x the same target for some reason. Cobra Shot is the closest they get
No idea why... but I am damn sure they did not plan on making brann when designing this.
Double effect on the same minion. I know that's not how the mechanics are currently coded though.
I also don't mean that it should kill both parts of a sludge belcher or a clearly stated copy in the case of faceless manipulator or a 1/1 from Barnes etc.

It has the same name, but it is NOT the same minion. Or is your 2nd copy of Azure Drake the exactly same minion you played before? (1st copy) ... no it isnt, it has the same name, but its a different card.
The deathrattle part might be a bit confusing for you, leading you to believe that it should work as you think it should, but its pretty simple rly. Just think of it as if you played it from your hand instead of being summoned through deathrattle, it is not the same minion (card) as the one that just died.
Not to mention the order of things, BKs battlecry has already ended (and thus Branns influence on it) when the minion from deathrattle is being summoned, so there is no argument to be made about how the 2nd proc of BKs deathrattle should kill anything ;-)

I'm pretty sure that BK will kill the taunt minion twice and after that will the deathrattle effect take place resummoning the minion.

Thanks for the feedback guys :)
Game mechanics wise I agree it won't work like that - so that one is answered.
I still think it should work that way given the card text - but I might be in a group of 1 in thinking that :)
Anyway - random thought I had earlier.

Нeah, double targetting would be so much better than random 2 minions effects. Double targetting on brann would make him really sweet.
Not double targetting :)
