Hi, i am puzzle by the outcome of this spell, Reference: Blizzard
I have 5 minion on board, Nerubian Egg, 2 x Dragon Egg, Azure Drake, SI:7 Agent.
So the enemy cast blizzard, the 2 dragon egg receive dmg and spawn 2 whelp,
the rest of the minion was 'Freeze' after receiving dmg, including the nerubian egg which got a hp buff previously.
HOWEVER, the whelp was also freeze, without taking dmg.
Edit: Thanks, i can upload now. :)
Put your screenshot up on photobucket and then copy the direct link and post it into the insert image tool.
I don't believe the Whelps should get frozen, but cards that have more than one effect, such as Blizzard with damage+freeze will sometimes create weird situations as the game engine doesn't always sequence the effects as a normal human brain would.
As soon as the eggs take damage, they spawn the whelps (so do Imp Gangboss and Patron). After that, all the minions get frozen, including the spawned ones. And after that, the minions with 0 HP will die, so if your nerubian egg wouldn't have had a buff, the 4/4 Nerubian could have attacked.
It's just simple order of things.
Here is how it works out:
Player casts a blizzard which states deal 2 dmg; after then freezes. Hearthstone mechanics only allow 1 thing to go "on the screen/mechanic wise" at the time. So, it deals 2 dmg to all, and while doing that it triggers eggs (dragon eggs) which spawn whelps (since game deals damage to minions from left to right, not all at the same time). After whelps are spawned and "deal 2 dmg to minions" is over, then the freeze effect takes place.
All should be fine, unless deathrattle minion was frozen after the spell was cast as deathrattle happens after whole cycle is over. But as far as I can see on that image, the nerubian egg wasn't popped, so it remained frozen as it was supposed to be.
I hope this clears some things for you guys and helps you in your future HS experience ;)
The text says: "Deal 2 damage to all enemy minions and Freeze them". So you could read "Deal 2 damage to all enemy minions and Freeze all enemy minions " . And yes, These are two different effects that take place one after the other. In game mechanics, it's bad luck that the damage causes other effects which then are on the field before the second part of the spell's effect resolves. But if you really need a (more or less) logical explanation, just imagine that first there are ice rocks causing damage, and after that an ice wind will freeze everything. Anyway, now you know how it works and you can plan with it.
zoo v mage turn 6 it is win or lose. 1 1 imp means a lot.
yeah had this yesterday with my imp gang boss. why is the new 1 1 not damaged if it is frozen? I assume it is like getting hit with water elemental or frostbolt. they do not freeze the newly spawned imp.
you would need to cast 4 frostbolts to kill 2 4 imp gang boss, 2 for the minion itself, and 2 for the 2 spawned imps. they should have two animations, one of frostbolts falling and one of frost nova hitting after. Cone of cold does 2 things at the same time.
Just small change in the writing is what they need to do
The best explanation for the way this works it's that they are a bunch of lazy idiots making the game, and they will make just as much money having stupid crap like this happening add they would if they took the time to fix it.
