Okay so the enemy had a setup with 2 khadgar and 2 scallywag, and 3 other minions. They don’t matter for the purposes of this question. Opponent attacks with scallywag, it dies, 1 pirate that immediately attacks is summoned, it attacks, dies, another is summoned immediately after that immediately attacks, then again and then once more. Is this supposed to happen? I was under the impression that once your board is full that stops anymore summoning. Given the order of the attack phase.
Sokt get me wrong it was an amazing setup by one of my opponents. I really wanna try it out. I just want to know if this interaction is something that should be happening.
Imo, the scallywag dies and summons as many as it should at once and if there are no spots open that’s it. You missed out. One shouldn’t be summoned at a time allowing for the first to die and continue a chain of summoning and attacking.
It’s the way the game is coded. Once the deathrattle occurs and a 1/1 pirate spawns, instead of resolving all of the Khadgar effects at once, the first pirate to appear on the board ignores the usual game order and attacks immediately. This allows it ignore the board restrictions.
So before the game can even check to see if the board is full, the pirates are attacking, dying, and making space for the next.

Hm. Quite the interesting interaction.
I just lost on this very interaction. 1 golden khadgar, 1 golden baron, 2 dread admiral Eliza. While I respect the luck it would take to put together such a build, the game should do whatever it normally does with overpopulated minion summon: summon 2 minions to fill the board, have them attack, end of turn.
This was clever the first time I saw it, but it should be reported as a bug.

I’m no programmer, only know the basics, but I imagine the code for minion spawning is something like; if there is 8 pirates to spawn, the game doesn’t issue a command spawn 8 pirates>fill up spaces. It does something like check for board space>spawn pirate(repeat 7 times).
i had that but 1 eliza was golden, and i had a 4/4 dragon with taunt
There are a lot of decent minions. I don’t even play properly and get Top 4 by picking strong minions. Then you save them up, get a triple (making sure to check your Tavern Level) and that triple helps you even more.
well that is definitely obvious to any veteran player…but that is not how it goes…i today for example got lord jaraxxus by some miracle 3x in a row, well i thought maybe ill finish higher than 7th place since i see non stop demons in the pool always and always see jarraxxus win…
wow was i dissapointed
all 3 games i seen 2 demons…2…
so as i stated before this game is beyond ignorant and is impossible for the casual player to even place where he is not getting a negative rating
you would think the universe would come together for me here and there and get one decent hand or minions in the pool but it has yet to happen…
developers are taking advice from stale, arrogant professional players who eat and poop hearthstone around the clock. everything is against the casual player and this is why ranked play is heartbreaking to play as weel. there is no pool of new players…
new players try once maybe 3 and are like oh helllll no this game sucks…
so the casual player makes no progress and has no hope of ever reaching a higher rank.
you morons need to learn marketing skills and how to make a FUN game
Honestly, I stopped caring about Battlegrounds rating when I was still losing points coming in second place when I was rated above 5000. I get its beta but my God it’s like they just through a proof of concept in our faces and are making us figure out what’s wrong with it. It’s stupid. How long have people been complaining about elementals? How many elemental balance patches have there been?..
Attacks immediately is the key part of the text. It attacks before the next one spawns. And it’s clever use of game mechanics and not that big of a deal.
If you can’t get higher than 7th place that’s a personal problem, not a broken game. I have to concede to be out that early.
this is the second time i have run across this setup. It sucks and frankly feels like a cheat. set up a board that could hold my ground trying to get 1st place spot in a heads up and not getting an opurtunity to respond while watching your board get pick apart and killed makes me very angry. frankly makes me not want to play battlegrounds anymore. it feels like an unintended cheat that gets taken advantage of and used not fair!
