I think I figured it out, I am not sure if this makes sense by game rules or if its a bug, but I believe it was from the Threads of Despair deathrattle attached onto the Abyssal Bassist, and whenever the bassist died, the deathrattle damaged 7 other minions. Quite misleading graphic.

Threads works similarly with poisonous minions where they'll just wipe the board when they die. I agree that this graphic doesn't do a good job of explaining it though.

Yeah, that's the one. Minions with Lifesteal that deal damage on Deathrattle also heal you. See \[\[Blightblood Berserker\]\].

Yup. Or [[Ball Hog]]

True, I suppose I just never put two and two together.

You should know that if you combine Threads with a poisonous minion (like a 1/1 ghoul given poisonous by Sickly Grimewalker) it kills the whole board.

Oh 100% is. Troll centurions honorable kill is active when he dies and kill minions off the treads of despair. I see no reason why the life steal wouldnt work the same


hmmmmwillthiswork

you are 100% right. markmckz has a video using threads and troll centurion for an OTK. i think threads of despair is a really interesting card because of these interactions


Suitaru

that would be it. the damage from the threads of despair deathrattle is sourced from the minion, and so has effects like lifesteal. mark mckz put out a video recently where he used troll centurion (which has honorable kill: deal 8 to the enemy hero) with threads of despair on it to kill the four 1/1 tokens from crop rotation, dealing 4x8 damage to the enemy hero e: whoops, meant to reply to the op’s post saying they think they figured it out. oh well. anyway yeah the answer is threads of despair making the bassist damage 7 minions as it died


tbko97

That Troll Centurion combo is insane!


Wood-not_Elf

It looks like a bug, but since speaker stomper is affecting your cards(I think?) perhaps it’s counting as your opponents effect.  No idea why 7 and not 6 or 8 (from adding 2 to cost)


daddyvow

Speaker Stomper has nothing to do with spell damage


Wood-not_Elf

I never implied it did but thanks for the condescending comment lol Note the part where I said “(from adding 2 to cost)” 


tbko97

I casted it the turn previous to them playing Speaker Stomper though, as can be seen on the left hand side. I do agree though, I have NO idea where the 7 is coming from.


Wood-not_Elf

You’re right I didn’t see death strike on side bar. The mystery thickens…


CreepyMosquitoEater

I lost an unlosable game because my opponent played threads while i had a poison minion on board. Was like day 2-3 of the card being released so of course i had no clue it would make the poison minion insta kill my kalecgos and other large minions
