when a new expac comes out I like to complete the class challenges because it usually incentivizes to play with some interesting and half of the time non competitive decks. So when it's already frustrating to play a non competitive deck just for a challenge it really sucks when the challenge is bugged and doesn't register. Right now I'm on the Flower Power Druid challenge that requires you to Summon a 10-cost minion and cast a 10-cost spell with Nightshade Bud in one game. I've done this several times to no avail. So then i thought maybe i was doing it wrong and put Fandral Staghelm in my deck and just finally got the combo i needed of doing it in one play and it's still incomplete.

To live is to suffer, to survive is to find meaning in the suffer!
Also did the Nightshade Bud one, I used it with Untapped Potential to reduce the amount of time I would need to play a shitty deck and lose ranks before completing the achievement, did it on my third game, of course it didn't work, even though it fits the criteria and shouldn't be denied by the game, or else change the achievement text to make it clear that you can only use the card in it's worst possible original state.
This achievement and a couple of others can kiss my ass. In fact, all achievements can kiss my ass, it's more fun to complete them without trying, I'm ok with losing some experience, you probably earn more exp playing competitive decks than wasting time with ridiculous bad decks with 15% winrate to try and complete some achievement anyway, it's a trap.
I generally like achievements, but I also just like the ones that you can complete just by playing the intended way. It can be nice to get a little direction on how to pay a card, but with so many bugs, it is not a good way to farm EXP.
I am an achievment hunter myself but I have to say the concept of achievments in HS is just shitty designed by people who have so little experience in game design. Not everyone is playing for ranks, some are playing for achievments. There are cool and hard achievments indeed, does feel rewarding. But what does not feel rewarding? When you have achievments where you have to...
1. Grind hard, e.g. Use gone fishing to get 60 cards which didnt start in your deck. (2 Copies per deck, so AT BEST you need 30 Games to complete it, under the assumption that you 1. Live long enough to play the card 2. Draw it 3. Have cards at the bottom which didnt start in ur hand. It is NOT rewarding.
2. Keep playing a suboptimal deck against optimal decks because its ladder
3. Play cards that are literally shit and wouldnt see any play if the achievment didnt exist. It does change tho, for example pet collector was garbage when it was an achivment which granted exp (so when it got released basicly). The card became good with a later expansion (sunken city)
Overall, feels shit that you have to earn them in ranked modes. Sometimes I do face other achievment-hunters are we basicly just farm our progress and dont push for a win. Thats very nice actually. Some achievments suck because when you want to pull them off (e.g. kill opponent with the sword of 1000 truths) your opponent concedes before. Bad design, as usual from Team 5.
I dont take their "we want it to feel rewarding thats why you have to do them in ranked"-bait. Doing achievments could be seen as questing in an MMORPG. You do it, its not too frustrating, but farming 4 boar meat in elwynn forest as a quest doesnt feel that rewarding.
I got the nightshade bud one, it was weird—I had fandral out for the first one and then I played a second one a few turns later and picked spell. And that’s how I got it!
I'm at 83 on the Reward Track and I do nothing. Bring on those nerfs so I can collect another 5k dust for the duplicates I have. Bugs are bugs. Report them to Blizzard fwtw.
I'm waiting to get cthun to use my 2900+ coins I have for him for instant max out once he hits 30 a couple hours after I get him. Too easy. My suggestion would be to not bother with achievements if they don't work or start a thread and keep it updated so other people don't waste their time.

You cannot split the card or use Fandral or quest to double up. It just sucks. Another RNG fest.
