Can you elaborate? That 4/7 will become practically unkillable. What card turns that situation around for you? You can put down minions for the next 2/3 turns and get yourself behind by 6 cards because they die for free and he'll draw off his northshire, or wait to drop a game changer like slyvanus, but you'll just die because that's 4 turns after his blademaster and he'll have gotten 16 damage from blademaster + 12 from dark cultist and he can probably finish you off from there.

Judging by your "2/3" comment you're playing deathrattle priest, which is much worse of in that specific situation than regular priest because you're trying to rely on winning through earlygame advantage which you now don't have.

Generally, while it sucks that he has a 4/7 out that will most likely trade very effectively, its dealable through minions and spells. Auchenai Soulpriest + circle of healing can deal 4 damage + crush anything else he might have on the board, and if he can't deal with it any other way, he does another 3 (or 5 if he ignores it) on the following turn, making the 4/7 now a 4/2 (if he heals it). Sludge Belchers can hold him off for a couple of turns while your deal with him some other way, etc. You have ways of dealing with it as a priest, and don't be afraid of taking some damage in the process. Like I said, very rarely does a PvP game end in the first few turns.

Using Shadowflame on Mana Addict it does 1 damage or 3?

Is there somewhere my old draft decks are saved? I just got 12-0 and wanted to look through it; but it wouldn't let me scroll down in the arena window after I won; it just gives you the prizes. Is there somewhere it's saved?


also; do better arena scores get higher odds of good draws in packs? I just looked and I got great cards out of the pack I got for that run. Though in general I've never been able to definitively determine if there's a correlation.

Just tested it, does 3 damage (well with Azure Drake 4 :D)

By the way, Questing Adventurer behaves exactly the same: It gets its buff before the Shadowflame takes effect

On field effects that get triggered always resolve before the effect of the played card. An example being Violet Teacher will spawn a Violet Apprentice before the effect of Power of the Wild occurs, thus giving your 1/1 +1/+1

This rule doesn't always apply. If you steal an Wild Pyromancer with Shadow Madness, the spell will resolve before the onfield effect, making him do 1 damage to all minions right away.

generally, reading is a useful skill toi have: almost all cards state "when you cast a spell", meaning before the effect resolves.
Wild Pyromancer explicitely says "after you cast a spell".

Opponent at 4 with a leper gnome, I'm at 2. I swipe him. What happens?

Good question. Should be a tie. All effects must resolve before a game state check in all other TCGs I have played

- if you attack the enemy with a minion that will kill him and has more than 2 hp and he has an Explosive Trap up and your hero has 1 or 2 hp you will die before your minion ever attacks him and you will lose the game
- if you attack a Zombie Chow with your face and the attack puts you below 1hp but the Zombie Chow heals you back up to positive hp, you still lose

Thus I believe it is safe to say that there is a check after every card effect for victory. The only way for a draw to happen is when the effect of a single card kills both players (Abomination, Baron Geddon, Hellfire, or the Spells Holy Fire, Holy Nova and Drain Life with an Auchenai Soulpriest out. Probably Sacrificial Pact too when playing it with an Auchenai Soulpriest against an enemy Jaraxxus)

Therefore you should be victorious if you Swipe the face to kill them and they got a Leper Gnome out, as you won after the Swipe resolved before the Deathrattle triggered.

I'm not sure that's how it works.

I had a game not too long ago against a hunter with a secret. I only had 1 minion on the board so I was afraid it was freezing trap. Instead, I used my truesilver champion and attacked his face. The secret turned out to be an explosive trap and I died... (-1hp) except that then I got healed (back to 1hp), attacked his face with my minion and won.
