Hearthpwn

So I was playing casual the other night, playing an all gold joke deck composed of whatever golden cards I had, and I got matched with this player, let's call him Foo, who I am friends with irl. I beat him with the deck, and then later asked him about it, and he claims that it must have been another account with the same tag. Can there be multiple Hearthstone accounts that have the same name? Or is he maybe lying to save himself a little face?

you can have the same name in game

but the battletag will be different

like you  can have 100's of Trump in game, so if you see one, you probably seeing a clone/fake

The full battle tag is the name#number, only the name is shown ingame.

Depending on the "cleverness" of your friends name there can be dozens of them out there.

yeah, there are gamertags next to your nickname, so there could be many guys with the same nickname.

I watched Trumps stream lately and thought my friend was playing against him in arena, since his opponent had the same nick, asked him about it instantly and he declined.

that's why you pick unique names, when you have an unique name, it's hard to see another guy with the same name

Thanks for the responses. I guess this means that the time I beat TidesOfTime on ladder might also have been fake... very disappointing... but anyways thanks
