    SE Puzzles: Week 1

    Title explains it all. Get your mental juices flowing! This weekly quiz will test you on your SE knowledge and I will post the answers to the questions in a few days or when someone has gotten them all correct. In each quiz, there will be one scenario question, two general SE questions and one random trivia question. There will also be a short discussion question at the end of each quiz. Brace yourselves!

    Question 1 (Scenario Question):

    You are Victor, playing against an Elementalis. Below, I will put you and your opponent's position:

    You

    Victor Heartstriker: 9 Shadow Energy, 1 health

    10 resources

    In hand: Gravedigger's Cloak, Death Trap, 3 Kristoffer Wyld, Bazaar and Soul Seeker

    Out of cards

    No items on board

    Earthen Protector, Aldon the Brave and Raven Wildheart on board

    Flaming Arrow in graveyard



    Your Opponent

    25 health, 1 SE

    10 resources

    No hand

    Out of cards

    Bazaar on board

    2 Brutal Minotaur (Both on 1 health), 4 Plasma Behemoth, 4 Molten Destroyer, 4 Fire Snake on board

    Feedback in graveyard



    You must win somehow or you will die by Fire Snake!
    How will you win? You have just started your sacrifice phase.


    Question 2 (General SE Question):

    Explain how a Ghostmaker + Tainted Oracle draw engine works, and where is it seen most often?


    Question 3 (General SE Question):

    Why are Shadow Warriors considered inferior to their Human Warrior counterparts? Explain.



    Question 4 (Trivia Question):

    One of the vs Ter Adun campaign missions has a name which relates to a famous game created by Blizzard. What is that game's name and what is the Ter Adun mission's name? (I'll give you a hint: FOR _______)



    Question 5 (Discussion Question):

    And here is this week's discussion: In 50 words or more (a short paragraph), say if you prefer Acid Jet or Ley Line Nexus and why.




    Well, that's all for this week. Tune in next weekend for some more!

    Kris hits for 1 (2 with Aldon), not four.

    Question 4 (Trivia Question):

    Warcraft: Orcs and Humans. Ter adun is a name of the sort of a rock that roads was made from. FOR THE HORDE!
    Question 5 (Discussion Question):

    And here is this week's discussion: In 50 words or more (a short paragraph), say if you prefer Acid Jeticon or Ley Line Nexus and why.
    I prefer FIRESNAKE! It wears down 3 durability for 3 resources which is more efficient than Acid Jet. It can attack hero and allies. Oh yeah and it wins you games.

    You are correct. Last time I checked, Kris still had 1 attack.

    I said one of Ter Adun's campaign mission names, not his own name.

    I prefer the serpent too. However, I asked for Acid Jet vs LLN.

    [spoiler]

    Sac death trap.

    Cast Gravedigger, steal feedback.

    Use ability to get fire arrow.

    7 resources left. Cast fire arrow on BM - hero takes 2 damage. Cast feedback, back to 11 resources.

    EP hits for 5, Kris kills other BM for 2. Aldon + raven hit for 3 + 4. Kris x 2 hit for 4. SS hits for 2. Cast bazaar - 3 damage next turn.

    2 + 5 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 25

    [/spoiler]

    Easy


    Edit: no spoiler tags. Oh well, I tried

    As to the rest:

    Question 2 (General SE Question):

    Explain how a Ghostmakericon + Tainted Oracleicon draw engine works, and where is it seen most often?

    Zhanna decks. Tainted oracle suicides and gets you 2 cards and dies. Ghostmaker hits hero, Tainted oracle comes back and can get you another 2 cards next turn.


    Question 3 (General SE Question):

    Why are Shadow Warriors considered inferior to their Human Warrior counterparts? Explain.

    They don't have retreat. Also, their abilities are slightly less useful than Human counterparts


    Question 4 (Trivia Question):

    One of the vs Ter Adunicon campaign missions has a name which relates to a famous game created by Blizzard. What is that game's name and what is the Ter Adun mission's name? (I'll give you a hint: FOR _______)

    Warcraft: Orcs and Humans

    Question 5 (Discussion Question):

    And here is this week's discussion: In 50 words or more (a short paragraph), say if you prefer Acid Jeticon or Ley Line Nexus and why.

    LLN because I can always pack shriek for items and abilities < 5 and LLN destroys things in 1 go and gives me a 1 card advantage (especially if against armour)

    He's already on 10 res.

    EP hits for 5, Kris hits MD and dies, comes back and hits hero for 4. Aldon + raven hit for 3 + 4. Kris x 2 hit for 4. SS hits for 2. Cast bazaar - 4 damage next turn.

    5 + 4 + 3 + 4 + 4 + 2 + 4 = 26
    Kris won't have haste if returned by EP, since he has haste when summoned not when he returned from GY.

    Oh yeh. They fixed that.

    Can I confirm - 2 x bazaar does do 3 damage if you have no cards left right? Not 4? If it does 4, my method still works, just hit hero with first Kris instead of MD

    As unruled said, I don't think allies coming back from EP are hasted. So it's your solution but no need to kill BM with kris.

    2 - BM by flame arrow
    5 - EP
    3 - Aldon
    4 - Raven
    2 - kris
    2 - kris
    2 - kris
    2 - SS
    3 - bazaar
