Top 3 Duels Moments of the Week
Welcome to Top 3 Duels Moments of the Week! Because of how crazy Duels can be with all of its treasures, people experience a lot of crazy once-in-a-lifetime moments. Here, ANYONE can share some of their favorite experiences from their Duels games.
3: A Pile of Wax
Hearthpwn user Opteron opens the game by sending in a Deathstrider on turn 1 to begin the game with an army of Wax Ragers. Let this be a lesson to those who claim 5/1s are pathetic.
2: Mankrik, The Ultimate Gentleman
Deathstrider shines yet again, but this time in a less conventional way. Twisted_Teaspoon manages to give Mankrik a Gentleman's Top Hat. Playing Deathstrider triggers Mankrik's new Deathrattle, but not all at once like one might think. If Mankrik gets more hats, those Deathrattles trigger too. With Battle Totem, this process repeats itself 9 more times! After everything resolves, both minions are wearing at least 25 hats each! The opponent is then assaulted by the classiest orc alive.
1: Iron Defense
Ancient Reflections can abuse many targets, with Armorsmith being just one of them. Supurge lines up a nice income of Armor, but isn't prepared for what happens next. This enemy Warrior decides to try to get rid of this board by playing Overlord Saurfang, which proves to be a grave mistake. He summons 2 Blademaster Samuros, which collectively deal 1 damage to everything three times. But since these effects all occur simultaneously, the 1/1 Armorsmiths are still considered to be damaged and get to dispense their Armor. This nets a pretty unreasonable amount of Armor that could've been avoided by doing almost anything else. But when your opponent so willingly gives you 147 Armor, it'd be rude to turn it down.
Thank you Opteron, Twisted_Teaspoon, and Supurge for your submission!

The Top Hat one is yet another case of Blizzard's spaghetti code. "Give your Top Hat to another random friendly minion". Even if we disregard the 'give', which implies the original owner would lose the hat, we have a problem: Another minion is another minion, so why is Mankrik giving hats to himself? Rather ungentlemanly of him.
first place so noob defence. here is a fiery sight for you
I have played hundreds of duels matches but today something very weird happened. I got the Quel'Delar sword without collecting any of the pieces!
If you play duels, has this ever happened to you?
If this is not supposed to happen then it surely must be a colossal bug that must be adressed by blizzard. This is what I played:
Played class: Hunter
Passive: Death Games
1st treasure: Crystal Gem
2nd treasure: Scepter of Summoning
If you fight someone that has Quel'Delar in their deck and manage to win, you're granted a copy of it as well. Good job :D.
Thanks Raptor for the weekly shenanigangs! Can you share some streamers/youtubers that play duels to follow on other strategies on a more daily basis?
I don’t know about anyone super popular that does Duels regularly. It isn’t as popular of a game mode as I’d like it to be. But RegisKillbin has been doing more Duels recently than before.
Yeah, I was enjoying those regis duels runs and was looking for someone who did something like that maybe a bit less memey
To find duels streamers:
1. Go to https://www.twitch.tv/directory/game/Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft
2. Scroll down a bunch (so more results load) and Ctrl+F "duels".
Enjoy!
Personally, haven't played duels in a while, but will return. I decided to hit wild legend on Asia this season. W:52/L:8 to Diamond 2 (probably owe the success to MMR being low, since I've never climbed in Asia) Playing a homebrew variant of Even Mage.
Thanks Doomsayer! I didn't think of that. Also wow i'm also trying to reach legend with Even Mage but in America server. Care to share our decks?
