It keeps the buff only until end of turn. The same happens with something like Echoing Ooze and Abusive Sergeant. | ||

I can't test or watch for it cuz I'm rank3 now, but I never really watched out for this: if you go from say rank 5 to 4... do you have 0 stars or 1 star? if you go down from 5 to 4 ... do you have full stars or is (stars=all - 1) if you have 1 star and loss a game you stay at the same rank btw See here - http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Ranked Each rank can be attained with no stars, some stars, or all stars collected. Once all stars for a rank have been collected, gaining another will take the player to the next rank, with a single star displayed. However, losing that star will not return the player to the previous rank, but will simply remove the star, leaving them on the new higher rank with no stars. Losing another star from this position will cause the player to drop a rank, but will leave them a single star missing. | ||

I'm not exactly sure tbh. In theory, I suppose it's possible (infinite monkeys and all that) to be able to achieve legend with sub 50% winrate, but it's also the case that if you simply win-lose-win-lose-win-lose that you'll never move anywhere and just hover rank 5 - 2 stars/3 stars. Win streaks also don't happen at rank 5 and higher so that could make the climb potentially impossible with less than 50%. | ||

I had the force/savage combo (and everyfin and bloodlust lolol) with tinker oil as a part of lethal combination. Since I had lethal with my treants, I didn't pay attention to whether or not the oil modified my hero damage granted through savage roar. It's really rare, but I wish I had paid attention to this interaction, does anyone know how it works? Oil only buffs weapons so it wouldn't work in this context. Savage Roar, Heroic Strike, Bite etc. all modify your hero's attack whereas Oil only modifies the attack of your weapon. The best and easiest way to view it is that hero attack modifiers will effectively buff your weapon for this turn, whereas weapon attack modifiers will never buff your hero's attack. E.g. Deadly Poison doesn't work in Druid but Bite does work for Rogue. Hope that makes sense! | ||

Two things. 1. Yes, you can theoretically go from 5 to legend with 50% winrate or less. Given enough time and games, eventually you are bound to go on a lucky streak that ends you at +25 stars or whatever. However, this has nothing to do with the rank change dynamics. 2. Simply put, rank 5 full stars and rank 4 no stars are the exact same place on the ladder. It just has two representations. You can see this clearly because if you are at rank 5 full stars, and you win, then lose, you will be at rank 4 no stars. Similarly, if you are at rank 4 no stars and you lose, then win, you will be rank 5 full stars. The only effect is that the system resists changing ranks for players too often. So you have to surpass the threshold to gain rank, and fall below the threshold to lose it, rather than gaining/losing whenever you reach the threshold. | ||

I ask because I had my damaged spiteful smith get misdirected onto me and then die from 3 damage that I can't source. If your hero had attack power (a weapon, Druid hero power, etc), then your misdirected minion will take the damage when it hits you. | ||

If one of your minions is misdirected to attack your Hero, the attack value listed on your Hero's portrait will be dealt to the minion. http://hearthstone.gamepedia.com/Misdirection I think this is what you're referring to. It's a strange interaction and always a surprise the first time you see it. Not sure how I missed Dromar's response but if you wanted the wiki link there it is  | ||

How does this work with the special heros like Liadrin and Medivh? Do they become more golden or does nothing change? They become more golden, the ring around your hero power stays wood unless you have the 500 wins at which point it will turn gold. | ||
