Not the best move in retrospect, but once Mistress of Pain attacked, she damaged my face because of Auchenai, instead of healing it, which triggered her effect AGAIN. This happened until I was somewhere into -9 health from 28 health and I died right there.
This has probably been discovered but I found it amusing. Glad I was in play mode.
Since her effect is now dealing damage, it counts as "this card dealing damage" though you would think since it's indirect it wouldn't happen like that.
When mistress of pain attacks with 1 attack, it will have dealt one damage to something. Then the effect triggers that she will heal your hero. But because auchenai soulpriest is on the field, all healing effects turn to damage instead. So the 1healing point turns to one damage point to your hero. That one damage point now triggers mistress of pain, because she dealt another damage (this time to your hero) and attempts to heal you for 1 health again. But auchenai soulpriest is still on the field which turns that one healing into 1 damage. And so the cycle continues till you die.
I was playing as a priest. Throw Sylvanas Windrunner out against a Piloted Shredder Piloted Shredder kills Sylvanas, dies, spawns Mistress of Pain, I get Mistress of Pain. Next turn, I played Auchenai Soulpriest to kill one of their cards and, attack with Mistress of Pain.

I have experienced that twice now (but not as a preist myself). It is quit hilarious ;)
Anyone know why this happens? One of the HS mysteries for me.
