Happened to me in a game where I was mage and got archenai soulpriest and burnbristle off of medivh from spells. My opponent hit my burnbristle and it killed me instantly from 30 health. I was like wtf but realized it makes sense because as burnbristle gives damage it also heals your hero. Archenai turns those heals into damage and since burnbristle actually damaged your hero it heals again in which archenai turns to damage. The loop continues until you die. The same thing will happen whenever you play a minion with lifesteal. It will be interesting to see when players don't realize this - easy wins lol.

I can already imagine Yogg summoning Auchenai somehow(Evolve or some other portal shit) and then casting a Lifesteal spell! LOL!!

I started playing a few months after GVG release, so makes sense I never heard of this. Don't think it's well known still
