First I would like to let everyone know that I'm going to make a series of puzzles. You can expect a puzzle every Monday and Friday, here on Hearthpwn forums. This way I can cycle all 9 classes in about a month. I wish I could do more puzzles, but they take a lot of time create and I don't want to run out of ideas. I'll try to post the puzzles on the morning, to give everyone a lot of time to play, but I can't promise anything.
I think this puzzle is easier than the last two I posted. I want to mix easy and hard puzzles so that everyone can have a shot solving them. I got the impression that it took a lot of time for most people to solve the last two, and some people were unable to do it. So the puzzles that I'll post on Fridays will be more casual/relaxed, and the ones I'll post on Mondays will be more hardcore/complex. I think that even the easy puzzles will be useful as a learning tool for people that are not familiar with all the rules.
So, here goes the third puzzle!!!
This time you are playing as the hunter Rexxar! You managed to build a really fun deck based on the synergy of beast minions and hunter spells. But so far, your opponent managed to keep his hero's health high, and even got some armor to prevent any burst damage. This is your turn 6, you drew the card for the turn and just played Tracking. So now you have to figure out what card you should take in order to finish the game before your opponent can attack back with his minions for the kill!
My mistake not pointing out cards in opponent's deck on the last puzzle.
I think you meant Grom Hellscream, and i think one pint-sized summoner is enough. I like to put some weird things like that, one more thing for people to figure out =D
First off, I am really happy that you will keep posting those puzzles, and if Blizzard hires you you can be sure I'll log in to do the "puzzle mode" every day! That would make for a very cool way to implement daily quests in Hearthstone: solve today's puzzle for some gold or a pack of cards!
Here's my solution for this one:
At first I was stuck with Garrosh at 1 life, but finally found it. Was missing delaying the Hyena after the other cards had attacked to put it next to the Alpha, good job on that one!
1- Choose Arcane Shot from Tracking
2- Play Timber wolf (4 mana left) on the far right of the field.
3- Play bestial wrath (3 mana left) on the Young Dragonhawk
4- Here is what the field looks like : 3/4; 5/5; 4/2; 6/1 WF; 2/1
5- Attack with everyone except Timber wolf, taking the opponent hero to 10 life.
6- Play Scavenging Hyena (1 mana left) next to Dire Wolf Alpha
7- Attack Angry Chicken with Timber wolf, killing both and giving +4/+2 to Hyena
8- Hyena is now 8/4 and attacks the ennemy Hero, bringing him to 2 life.

Very tricky puzzle at first, mainly because of the choices from tracking. It was not too difficult, but it was still a good challenge! :
Choose Arcane shot, and shoot it into Garrosh 25 HP 7 Armor, you have 4 mana left
Summon the Timber wold on the right of the Young Dragonhawk, 3 mana left
Cast Bestial wrath on the Young DragonHawk, 2 mana left
The minions are now Leok 3/4, Tundra Rhino 5/5 , Dire Wolf Alpha 4/2, Young Dragonhawk 6/1 but immune to damage, and Timber wolf 2/1
Young dragonhawk into Garrosh twice, 25 HP 1 armor, then 20 HP
Tundra Rhino into Garrosh, 15 HP
Leokk into Garrosh, 12 HP left
Dire Wolf Alpha into Garrosh, 8 HP left
Now summon the Scavenging Hyena, 0 mana left, next to the dire wolf alpha, buffing it to 3/2 and then being buffed by Leokk and TW to 5/2
Timber Wolf into Angry Chicken, killing both, giving the Hyena +4/2, and dropping all the beasts attack by 1, leaving the Hyena at 8/4
Swing the Hyena into Garrosh for the remaining 8 HP to win the game, with 4 HP and 0 mana, and no cards in your hand.
ahhhh you beat me by 2 minutes :P well played :D
