Just played a hunter who’s spells all did double damage with no minions on board! Explosive trap cleared a board of 2/4s when he had 0 minions on the board and and scrap shot did 6 damage. What am i missing here?
Assuming this was in Standard; either he played Vereesa Windrunner, got Thori’dal, the Star’s Fury and attacked with it, gaining +2 Spell Power (although admittedly this doesn’t explain Scrap dealing 6).
Or YOU had Mo’arg Artificer (who happens to be 2/4) on board. His effect, all minions take double damage from spells, affect both sides of the board.
Those are the first two possibilities that came to my mind.

He had no weapons equiped and I dont run Mo’arg. Of course I didnt have deck tracker running so no replay.
If you didn’t summon a Mo’arg Artificer randomly on board somehow, then I don’t know what happened.

He had no minions and no weapon and i had 4 2/4 totems and his explosive trap cleared my board, there’s obviously something going on but what is the question LOL
Thori’dal, the Star’s Fury only gives spell damage on the hunter’s turn. It’s incompatible with explosive trap damage.

So, you’re calling him a liar ?
Not really but a lot of people bashing Blizzard for bugs while its not a bug or have 0 proof.
His story is hard to believe since this cant really actually happen. He denied all of the options so basically its impossible. This is why he needs to give us proof to prove that actually happened.
I’m not calling anybody a lier. Just asking for prove that actually happen in a way he describes it.

Have you ever looked at the bugs section of this forum? So many people there make mistaken claims because they missed something. Without a screenshot or any proof of course people are gonna doubt the OP.
Edit: Anyways the OP says he had 4 2/4 totems which just so happens to be that stat line of Mo’arg Artificer. Odds are he got one summoned randomly probably from a lackey and wasn’t paying close enough attention.

Why on earth do people come here to the forum to try and hire a scooby doo team as to what happened in the game in which THEY were playing. If you weren’t payting attention to what happened, get over it and pay attention next game.

given that most bug reports about priest includes “im 100% sure he didnt play soul mirror” when the replay then shows exactly soul mirror, then its very resonable to assume Redserpent missed something important

The fact he dosent know what happened shows he missed something important. So ya it’s a safe bet to assume he missed something important and ask for screens so we can see what he missed.
Without them it’s more than fair to say it dint happen as it’s not worth the time to guess while as given he knows he missed something important vary likly the stat line he thinks his minions had was incorrect or worse. If he was looking at the history in the side bar he would be posting that so we could see if he had a issue not doing so is asking to not have good help. Why would you not give people info you have in front of you when asking for help.
While if it was a bug would need the proof to show it as short of that it’s quite hard for the devs to look into it and reproduce to fix. So the thread is pointless till he posts the screens so ya vary reasonable to ask for them.

Honestly, you having a Mo’arg Artificer is the most likely answer. Especially since it’s one of the only way to get a 4 damage Explosive Trap (otherwise the opponent needs +2 spell damage - not common).
I’ve seen it happen quite often - players don’t see a damage boost on the enemy board and forget to take into account that a Mo’arg on their side will also boost the opponents damage.
You may not run it in your deck, but the abundance of Evolve effects in Shaman, on top of abundance of 1 mana minions (HP totems, Sludge Slurper, Lackeys) that all can evolve in a Mo’arg makes this scenario all the more likely. Heck, if you quickly Evolved then attacked you might not even have realized you rolled the minion.

Standard and i was playing a home brew shaman deck, no other secrects
Saying homebrew doesn’t mean much what where you playing. You obv have the deck link so link it. Why not give info you have ready access to when asking for help. you should be giving as much info as possible if you want help not giving the min. This is the same as your OP where should of screened the match history the moment you seen something you where going to ask about and provided that info that you had ready access to.
