Welcome to “Got Lethal?” a (hopefully) weekly feature that will try to put you on complicated, yet winnable situations. We will bring you puzzles of sorts where you are tasked with determining the best line of play, which mostly is play that will guarantee you the victory. Maybe this will help you train your pro-skills and perhaps with a bit of luck you won’t Miss Lethal ever again, or maybe the scenarios are way too fantastic to be of help on serious matches, anyway at least I hope you can have fun with them.

Your Hand

The Board

Added your hand here again, so you don’t have to scroll up all the way to remember what you had. Also I’m going to show you what the cards on the board do, in case you are a bit new to Hearthstone and don’t remember all the cards abilities just from their icon.

Blackrock Mountain Preview.

Given the chance to take some of the new Blackrock Mountain cards for a spin, we’ve decided to try some sort of combo deck with Grim Patrons and Axe Flingers.  We had high hopes for our combo to blow through the opposition, though thus far, its been a bit of a disaster. We managed to draw some cards with Acolytes of Pain and hang around for a bit with our Grim Patrons, but overall we are almost down and out. Toshley did help stabilizing our board earlier, but his choices on Spare Parts were less than stellar.  Our hand is filled with taunts already, and having something like double Reversing Switch would’ve make quick work of our BFFs, the dual Mogu’shan Wardens.

This a game of Deathrattles and Taunts as most of the cards involved have one, the other, or both. Since order on Deathrattles can be paramount on certain situations, I’ll let you know that our Abomination was played before his Zombie Chow, but after our Death’s Bite.

Can you find the right order of plays that both keeps us alive, and finishes our opponent off before his turn ticks and he delivers the coup de grâce?

Good luck, and try not to burn much rope on this one.

Last week theZMaster nailed the extra challenge, even cracking the hidden puzzle, which was the fact that last week’s puzzle was very easy because Hunter is the “easy class to play”. Shout-outs to Phillip Norton, and everyone else who went at it last week.

This week’s solution uses a few interesting concepts that might be useful in some real play situations, hopefully the difficulty level is up to par this week.

Is this week YOUR turn to make your way into the “Got Lethal?” imaginary leaderboards?
