Hey all, I'm done with most of the achievements that provide XP and I thought I'll post a quick guide to some of them like I did a couple of expansions ago. Two quick points: (1) For many of the achievements there is no secret to them, you just have to grind long enough to complete them. For example to summon 75 Persistent Peddlers you play Deathrattle Demon Hunter running 2x the card and keep playing until you are done with it. I won't discuss such 'obvious' achievements unless there is something more to them (2) Some achievements require you to play somewhat bad cards or decks. I try to complete these in Duels rather than tank my MMR in standard or wild. Sometimes the small deck size of round 1 in Duels or some of the offered treasures might even make the achievement completion even easier. So here it comes:
Have 75 Cast When Drawn spells trigger as Druid: The thing worth mentioning here is that you don't need Sheldras Moontree, who is anyway too slow, expensive, unplayable, etc. You just need to have Vibrant Squirrels die as the Acorns are cast when drawn spells. One more thing is that if you are grinding this one in Duels, you can always try to pick up the Book of Wonders treasure that shuffles 10 Scroll of Wonders into your deck for more 'cast when drawn' effects.
After playing Antonidas, have all 3 Fireballs hit the opposing hero and destroy them: Not sure if this has been 'fixed' already, but until a few days ago thanks to a bug all you had to do is drop Grand Magus Antonidas on an empty board while his effect was active and the achievement would be completed even if you didn't destroy the enemy hero on that turn.
Summon a Silver Hand Recruit with 5 Attack: There are many ways to achieve this quickly, but for sure you don't need the new Paladin questline. It's much easier in Duels with the Bring on Recruits hero power and Men at Arms starting treasure plus some of the new handbuff cards like Alliance Bannerman and Prismatic Jewel Kit you should be able quite easily to have a 5/5 dude in hand and then just drop it on the board and all done.
Draw the Purified Shard the same turn you shuffle it into your deck: One thing to pay attention to here if you are doing this in Duels or Wild. Shadow Visions doesn't work as it only discovers 'a copy' of the shard. You need to play Thrive in the Shadows instead.
Trigger Battlecries with Bolner 100 times: Here there is another bug and if you play Bolner Hammerbeak followed by Kazakus, Golem Shaper you get it done at once. My achievement page shows me that I did it 127312 times...
Summon 50 minions from your deck as Warrior: Sure you can play Big Warrior and lose to 80% of the meta in standard, but you can also play 50 games of Pirate Warrior in wild and summon Patches 50 times (and win most of them in the process)
Play a 0-mana legendary dragon: Priest in Duels is the best pick I'd say for this.If you have Lady Prestor, you don't even need to run 0-drops, but just 1-drops and Draconic Studies (you can even get lucky with 2- and 3-drops + Insight). Without the lady, you can try to hard-run Brightwing as your only minion, draw it via Insight and play a Draconic Studies before dropping it. Finally you can try to get the Dragon Affinity duels treasure to facilitate it even more
Summon a legendary minion from Stubborn Suspect: Play duels as Hunter with the Death Games hero power and Deathstrider starting treasure to maximize the deathrattle triggers of the Stubborn Suspect.
The rest of the achievements have no secret/trick to them as far as I know.
Good luck and feel free to post if you have any additional insights to some of the achievements.
In wild you can also add Ysera. Worth noting that you apparently don’t need the board space for it to count, but you obviously can’t burn the card from overdrawing.
Deal 10 damage with a single cast of ignite = Play mozaki and ignite 10 damage Gain 600 (150-300) atack with your hero as druid = Just play quest druid in duels and choose 2 atack hero power Deal 10 damage in one atack with Lion's frenzy = Lions frenzy + inner demon
I did the 5-Attack Silver Hand Recruit one using the questline. It wasn't that hard, but it did take a few tries due to winning or losing before I could get there.
The Lion's Frenzy one will take care of itself if you just play a Lion's Frenzy deck correctly.
In wild you can also add Ysera. Worth noting that you apparently don’t need the board space for it to count, but you obviously can’t burn the card from overdrawing.
Bolner + Kazakus still works.
Yeah I thought about Ysera, but right now wild is in a state where it is very rare that one gets to play a 9-mana card...
Another little trick: To lifesteal 300 health with Paladin cards, try picking up Robe of the Magi in a duels run (after game 3) and use City Tax. If you get really greedy you can even do a full 28-hp heal on a single cast of City Tax...
Doing achievements with achievement card usualy is easy or just time consuming , but there are ways to do them without cards.
Like the Persistent Peddler one , without the shufflers , banker , zola or nzoth it takes forever , i managed to do it on duels with minion based deck and Mask of Mimicry when you have a hand of peddlers you trade them on deck .
Have Tamsin's Dreadsteed return 8 times in one game. I dont have the card sodone on Ranked Standard (in wild cardpool is to big) with a deck full of other spells , Pandaren Importer , Raise Dead , Faceless Manipulator

75 persistent peddlers is easy in wild with Augmented Elekk every time u trade shuffle a copy
Deal 10 damage with a single cast of ignite = Play mozaki and ignite 10 damage
Gain 600 (150-300) atack with your hero as druid = Just play quest druid in duels and choose 2 atack hero power

Anyone have decklists to try for boars or purified shard in duels? I know they can be done as priest in wild but I don't want to tank my MMR.
Hey, for helping with the Achievements... here is a Video with a "Google Doc" for all deck codes ;)

a guy on reddit made a good image of achievements possible with Whizbang the Wonderful
Saved me from crafting Grand Magus Antonidas and Find the Imposter plus i done some of the old ones like Restore 100 heal with High Exarch Yrel and Plaguemaw the Rotting one.
Deal 10 damage in one atack with Lion's frenzy , i do it using Dreadlord's Bite and Pillage the Fallen plus draw or weapon buffs
Have Tamsin's Dreadsteed return 8 times in one game. I dont have the card so done on Ranked Standard (in wild cardpool is to big) with a deck full of other spells , Pandaren Importer , Raise Dead , Faceless Manipulator
