7. 2 mana: Cast Divine Favor which draws you the remaining 4 cards in your library.
8. 0 mana: Summon whisp. Warlord is a 10/10 now.
9. 1 mana: Cast Eye for an Eye. Attack Maligos, gain 2 life and deal 12 dmg to yourself and to Jaina.
10. Warlord does the remaining 10 dmg.
11. Win.
Note: Its funny that so far boeth puzzles have ignored the minion cap. I really think blizzard should just up and hire you bro. I can solve them but I sure as hell cant come up with them. This could really be a solid feature for the game that shouldn´t take away too much developement and add some cool things to the game.
Created an account just to answer these, very nice puzzle
Put your spoiler
Cast 1 mana humility on shieldbearer, swing the shield bearer into the Lord of the Arena, Shieldbearer dies and becomes 0/1 from secret.
Swing venture co. mercenary into the Lord of the Arena, killing both, Jaina draws a card.
Cast 1 mana Blessing of Might on a mirror immage, then attack the same mirror image with Mana Wraith, killing both resulting in Jaina drawing a card
Summon 1 mana Elven Archer, use the battlecry arrow on the remaining mirror image, Jaina draws a card
Summon 2 mana Captain's Parrot, draws the only pirate in the deck remaining.
Summon 0 mana Dread Corsair due to 4 attack on Truesilver Champion
Summon 2 mana Crazed Alchemist and use battlecry to swap Malygos's 12 hp with 4 attack, making him a 12/4 enemy minion
Cast 2 mana Divine Favor, which draws the remaining four cards, as you only have 1 card remaining and Jaina now has 5 from the starting two + the drawn 3
Summon 0 mana Wisp, filling the board with 7 minions, putting the Frostwolf Warlord at 10/10
Cast 1 mana Eye for an Eye secret, then use truesilver champion to attack the 12/4 Malygos, healing 2 and dealing 12 damage to both yourself and Jaina, leaving you at 4 health, Jaina at 10, and Malygos at 12/2
Attack Jaina with the 10/10 Frostwolf Warlord, dealing the remaining 10 health and winning the game with 0 out of 10 mana and only 4 hp
( Had to edit the post because I accidently put the answer outside of the spoiler box i opened >.>)
Use Humility on a mirror image and make Venture Co attack it, Venture Co is now dead and your minions no longer cost 3 more mana crystals.
Use Elven Archer to deal a final damage to the last mirror image, no more minions has taunt.
Suicide mana wraith on anything that can kill him to reduce minions cost by 1, exept Malygos.
Use Parrot to get your Corsair out of your deck and play him, he's free since your weapon has 4 damage.
Play Crazed alchemist and use his battlecry on Malygos he's now a 12/4
Use Blessing of Might on Frostwolf Warlord He should now be a 12/9
Hit Jaina with him she has now 10 hp remaining
Use an eye for an eye and attack Malygos you get hit for 12 leaving you with 2 hp and taking down Jaina to -2
I solved it but it's only working if redemption give a extra attack turn to the ressurected target and get lucky, and draw an Eye an Eye when I use Divine Favor
There are probably better possibilities but as of now it's the best I can imagine.
Had a lot of fun with this. Great job coming up with it.
Use Shieldbearer to attack Lord of the Arena. This will kill Shieldbearer, which triggers Redemption, bringing back Shieldbearer with 1 health.
Use Venture Co. Mercenary to attack Lord of the Arena, killing both minions.
Cast Blessing of Might on an enemy Mirror Image. (9 mana remaining.)
Use Mana Wraith to attack the buffed Mirror Image, killing both minions.
Summon Elven Archer, and use the Battlecry to kill off the remaining Mirror Image. (8 mana remaining.)
Summon Crazed Alchemist and swap attack/health of Malygos, turning him into a 12/4. (6 mana remaining.)
Summon Abusive Sergeant and buff Frostwolf Warlord. (5 mana remaining.)
Summon Captain's Parrot to put Dread Corsair into my hand. (3 mana remaining.)
Summon Dread Corsair for 0 mana due to having a 4 attack weapon equipped.
Cast Divine Favor. Because that leaves me with 1 card in my hand and my opponent has 5 cards due to the minions I killed triggering Cult Master, I draw the remaining 4 cards from my deck. (1 mana remaining.)
Summon Wisp for 0 mana.
Play Eye for an Eye. (0 mana remaining.)
Use Frostwolf Warlord to attack the enemy hero, dealing 4 damage plus 7 more for the 7 other minions on my side of the board and plus 2 more for the buff from Abusive Sergeant for a total of 13 damage.
Attack Malygos with my hero, causing me to take 12 damage and triggering Eye for an Eye, which deals 12 damage to the enemy hero as well.
13 damage + 12 damage = 25 damage. I win!
EDIT: Turns out this doesn't work because Shieldbearer can't attack since it has 0 attack.
attack with FW for 13 attack Maly with hero for 12
EDIT: After posting I realized that a minion with 0 attack isn't allowed to attack, which is why the Humility is important. Using Humility instead of Abusive Sergeant and then my solution is like everyone elses.
Well thought out puzzle, thanks for this and keep them coming! Blizz really needs to have this as a game mode.
Here goes my "head solution" tips for this one. Hope I dont get so many wrong this time aroud.
*Taunt minions are priority.
*Cult master makes Jaina draw cards.
*You want to draw more cards.
*Eye for an Eye, Maligos and Alchemist are the key.
*You need to remove the cost increasing cards.
I have a solution in my head. I´ll try to do a step by step later.
Lets see if this goes... I think I can do it without cockatrice.
1. 1 mana to: Cast Humility onShield Bearer. Attack Lord, bearer dies and triggers secret. Hes a 0/1
2. 1 mana to: Cast Blessing of Might on Mirror Image 1 and attack it with Wraith, they die, Jaina draws a card.
3. Mercenary to Lord, they die, Jaina draws. (Jaina has 4 cards now).
4. 1 mana :Summon Archer, target remaining image, it dies, Jaina draws (5 cards now).
5. 2 mana: Parrot, fetch Pirate. Summon Pirate for free. (Warlord is a 6/6 now).
6. 2 mana: Summon alchemist, target maligos hes a 12/4 now.
7. 2 mana: Cast Divine Favor which draws you the remaining 4 cards in your library.
8. 0 mana: Summon whisp. Warlord is a 10/10 now.
9. 1 mana: Cast Eye for an Eye. Attack Maligos, gain 2 life and deal 12 dmg to yourself and to Jaina.
10. Warlord does the remaining 10 dmg.
11. Win.

Cuddos to the OP for hes awesome work.
I think the cap is 7 minons, and we don't need to go over it for this puzzle. Last puzzle was my mistake.
Thanks for the good feedback and Good Job on the puzzle!

Amazing puzzles! Congrats to angeleg and angelcrest for solving them first! (Sorry Rea, pally cant attack its own minion haha)
I had my own method of just buffing the Frostwolf dude like crazy but the mage always had 2 hp left over!
These puzzles are awesome and the image definitely helped, keep up the good work and thanks!

Use Humility on a mirror image and make Venture Co attack it, Venture Co is now dead and your minions no longer cost 3 more mana crystals.

There are probably better possibilities but as of now it's the best I can imagine.
Try to use the spoiler button for your solutions that way you dont spoil it for the others ;)
If you do it right theres no luck involved in the process though. Figure it out, its fun.
Had a lot of fun with this. Great job coming up with it.
Use Shieldbearer to attack Lord of the Arena. This will kill Shieldbearer, which triggers Redemption, bringing back Shieldbearer with 1 health.
Use Venture Co. Mercenary to attack Lord of the Arena, killing both minions.
Use Mana Wraith to attack the buffed Mirror Image, killing both minions.
Summon Elven Archer, and use the Battlecry to kill off the remaining Mirror Image. (8 mana remaining.)
Summon Crazed Alchemist and swap attack/health of Malygos, turning him into a 12/4. (6 mana remaining.)
Summon Abusive Sergeant and buff Frostwolf Warlord. (5 mana remaining.)
Summon Captain's Parrot to put Dread Corsair into my hand. (3 mana remaining.)
Summon Dread Corsair for 0 mana due to having a 4 attack weapon equipped.
Summon Wisp for 0 mana.
EDIT: Turns out this doesn't work because Shieldbearer can't attack since it has 0 attack.
Yeah sorry i'm not used to send things on the forum, didn't even think about the spoiler button.
Good Job Enderon, our answer is alike, though I missed some steps such as thinking that his cult master would trigger for every minion killed.
Also I didn't know blessing of might could be used on an enemy minion.
Posting this before I look at anyone else's solution, though I'm sure I'm not the first to come up with it.
shieldbearer attacks LotA, dies and uses secret
Blessing on Mirror Image (9 mana)
mana wraith attacks Mirror Image, both die (2 taunters left, opp hand 3 cards, FW 6/6)
Venture Co attacks Lord of the Arena, both die (1 taunter left, opponent hand 4 cards, FW 5/5)
elven archer (0 taunters left, opp 5 cards, FW 6/6, 8 mana left)
crazed alchemist to swap health of Malygos (6 mana left, FW 7/7)
Abusive Sergeant (FW 10/8, 5 mana)
play parrot (FW 11/9, 3 mana)
play free pirate (FW 12/10)
divine favor - draw rest of deck (1 mana)
wisp (FW 13/11)
eye for an eye (0 mana)
attack with FW for 13
attack Maly with hero for 12
EDIT: After posting I realized that a minion with 0 attack isn't allowed to attack, which is why the Humility is important. Using Humility instead of Abusive Sergeant and then my solution is like everyone elses.
Well thought out puzzle, thanks for this and keep them coming! Blizz really needs to have this as a game mode.
Good Job everyone on solving the puzzle.
Kazmodius -> The minion that returns to play with redemption can only attack again if it has charge. Casting blessing of might on enemy minion is ok.
GSharp -> Minions with 0 attack cannot attack. But you are very close to the solution.
One more puzzle coming today!!!
stream - twitch.tv/hsrorix
twitter - @hs_rorix
blog - hsrorix.weebly.com
All the solutions containing "attack my own monster with hero" officially became void. Is this puzzle still do-able?
My solution:
shield bearer hit malygos, dies, rezzes
blessing of might mirror image (3/1), cost=1, mana=9, hand=6
mana wraith kill mirror image, dies, enemy hand=3, frostwolf @6/6
venture co kill lord of arena, dies, enemy hand=4, frostwolf @5/5
summon elven archer, kill mirror image, cost=1, mana=8, hand=5, enemy hand=5, frostwolf @6/6
summon abusive sergeant, +2 frostwolf (9/9), cost=1, mana=7, hand=4, enemy hand=5, frostwolf @9/9
summon captain's parrot, cost=2, mana=5, hand=4, enemy hand=5, frostwolf @10/10
summon dread corsair, cost=0, mana=5, hand=3, enemy hand=5, frostwolf @11/11
summon crazed alch, cost=2, mana=3, swap maly (12/4), hand=2, enemy hand=5, frostwolf @12/12
divine favor, cost=2, mana=1, hand=5
summon wisp, cost=0, mana=1, frostwolf @13/13
eye for an eye, cost=1, mana=0
frostwolf hit jaina, 22-13=9 health left
uther hit malygos, take 12 damage, do 12 dmg to jaina.
win.
I'm not entirely sure that the first move is legal.
EDIT: I see that my first move is illegal, and the true solution just substitutes
using humility instead of summoning an abusive sergeant.
Excellent puzzle!
Teddy, minions with 0 attack cannot attack
Let me change your mind
Just saw this puzzle, scanned everyone else's solutions, and mine was pretty different, here ya go:
nevermind, doesn't work =P I'll post again later if I find something different
