Got the daily event quest “(Chance Encounter!) Co-Op: Destroy Endbringer Umbra.”
Rerolled it
Got it again
Never saw a daily quest reroll into itself so assuming it’s a bug
gonna pull ur own trick → look at the link:

they clearly added 2 copies of the “chance encounter” to the pool (it is the only one with 2x identical copies shown), and just like a mulligan in your hand running a non-highlander deck, you can mulligan into “the same” one, because it isn’t “the same” it’s a copy
that said, this is worse than a bug, because it’s like what zeddy has been talking about regarding adding gambling elements into hearthstone where they are trying to add more elements of randomness into the rewards system … i think this kind of lame especially if the goal is to get people to play more to get the greater reward … i don’t know if like can u kill ur own umbra to get the reward to proc, but who is going to start adding umbra to their deck to help others get the reward, so that they will start playing the card so that others will get the reward??? i know some decks are playing the card … but enough of them???
in any case, i put a deck together to “force” the reward and got it within 2 games in ranked wild – here’s the deck code if anyone is looking at this and cares:
AAEBAZvDAwTI4QOoigShkwX1mAcNxAHNA+fdA9PzA/afBPefBOPTBPXdBI7pBeCoBrOpBra1BoecBwAA
the point is u get two of the mini-pirate (or one + shadow step), play pirate, umbra, pirate, silas … give opponent umbra, prep and sap umbra to the opponent’s hand … then hope the opponent plays umbra next turn and destroy it (perhaps with one of the poisonous oozes
not the most streamlined deck, but if u can get to 10 mana and the opponent cooperates, which a lot of low rank wild will do (prob a lot of bots here), this deck should be able to get it done fairly easily (?) … there are probably other ways to fit this forcing concept
