Book of hero Anduin

All cards are draw at exactly same order ever. No random drawing make impossible to beat the opponent.

I am also experiencing this exact error: Playing the Book of Anduin in Hearthstone, on the first fight with Varian there is no card variation at all. It is making the level impossible to beat. I’ve wasted several hours before i realized the game was not giving me any variation; and making it impossible to build up to a win condition.

Whether or not the solo adventure for the Anduin Book of Heroes missions are supposed to give fixed draw or random draw is not known.

However, the assertion that it’s impossible to beat the opponent is incorrect. All opponents can be beaten. If you follow a strategy that relies on bad draws for the opponent, then perhaps try a different strategy?

i have the same problem, the cards dont shuffle and in that way, garrosh is undefeteable xd

Please see the linked post for the solution to this:

I know you’re trying to be helpful, but there’s something very wrong with this mission right now. The exact identical cards are drawn every time (by both the player and the AI opponent) and whatever set of cards these are, they’re not strong enough to win. (Or, I suspect more likely, the AI is getting a god-tier draw to counter you.)

This is the first mission of a story-mode adventure. They’re not supposed to be difficult. But I’ve lost 8 times in a row now.

As already said, I have no idea whether or not this is intended. But since it doesn’t happen in other adventures and actually probably requires extra coding effort, I assume for now that it is in fact deliberate.

The missions are definitely not impossible. I have finished all eight missions of this adventure. And many others have done that too. If they were impossible (as several people in this thread claim), then I could not have finished them.

A fixed card draw means that you can’t “cheat” your way towards victory by just retrying until you get lucky rolls. (Though some other effects in the adventure are still random).
But fixed card draw also means that you can much better learn from your mistakes. If you lost in a random adventure, you might just have been unlucky and might try the same strategy again. In this adventure, if a strategy you try keeps losing you the game, you can quickly discard the idea as a bad strategy and try another approach.

I see where you’re coming from, but after many losses with the same cards I watched a few people play vs Varian on YT for some tips and tricks. And they all had randomised draws, as did Varian when fighting them.
So if there was a fixed draw for the encounter, I’d think there would be a step-by-step guide to winning instead of videos showing random card draws. This does make it feel like it’s a bug, even though it might not be obvious for the reasons you mentioned.

Also having this same issue. Videos of other peoples’ matches shows they are getting different draws, but every match I do is card-for-card the same draws as my previous ones.

Same issue here. Maybe tomorrows maintenance will fix it. Not holding my breath though.

Same exact thing too. After 12+ attempts I’ve moved on…

UPDATE: Just figured out how to beat Varian. Sooooo… nevermind. If you want to know how msg me.
