In my recent match in standard mode, my opponent platypus#2144 used a game bug. During the entire match of the game, he played the Azerite Snake card three times, thereby stealing 21 units of my health. Using the Primas card, I stole 5 units of health from my opponent’s table. As a result, my character had 14 health units, my opponent on his turn plays the Alliestrasza card, which has a battle cry as: the current health of the selected hero becomes 15, but instead my hero was simply destroyed and I lost the match

This is a known interaction. Whether intended or not, Alex sets your health to 15 first then applies auras such as the snake’s minus health. So it’s an OTK combo for them.
I don’t think this is a bug.
The effect of Azerite Snake seems to act like a permanent aura that gives your hero -7 current and maximum health, and auras are always applied on top of your current stats.
So after the snake was played three times, your character had a permanent aura of -21 health (presumably this was then reduced by 5 due to the Primus, for a total aura of -16 health).
Alexstrasza set your current health to 15, but then the -16 aura was applied on top of that, killing you.
You can’t say there’s no bug when this card changes the behavior of Alex.
Alex doesn’t reduce the max health when she’s played.
If you’re 30/30 and Alex is played on you, you’re at 15/30 and can heal up
When you’re at 23/23 because of the snake and get Alex’ed, you’re down at 8/8, not 15/ 23 or 8/23.
It does not make sens that a single azerite snake reduces your max health by 22 when it’s the only effect that manipulated your max health this game.

Or rather a known bug.
Abusers probably detected in this thread. 
PS
Alliestrasz
But the snake clearly does reduce both current and max health.
So you end up with an aura of -21 current heath, which is presumably the killing effect.

I think this IS a bug. If you increase your health above 30 with a card like Maw and Paw, Primus, or Vampiric Blood, Alexstrasza works as intended: setting your health to 15, regardless of how many Azerite Snakes were played.

So ? Why is a single -7 max health able to reduce your max health by 22 ?
Yes, to increase them, because when you’re below 15, she forces you to 15
But she never reduces your max health when you have played Amara, play Renathal, or increased your health as a DK
If health manipulations like the snake was meant to be permanent, why are the others not permanent also ? Why don’t you keep the +5hp of Maw and Paw ? Nothing on the cards indicate it should behave differently
The snake says “Steal”. I believe that is an indication that the effect is permanent.
It is not a known “interaction” it is a known bug.
Azerite steals health it is not an aura. Alex sets to 15. Not to zero.
It’s absurd that they can put out balance patches without fixing obvious game breaking bugs.
Yes and ?
Why should you lose those HP another time then ?
Why can’t you be at 15/23 or 8/23 after alex ? Why is it 8/8 ?
Besides, if I steal you 7 hp, then you’re set to 15, what exactly prevents you from being set to 15 ? You’ve already lost 7 hp, why should you lose 7 more ?
Yeah its a bug, if you increase your health above 30 before the snakes than Alex work normally. It’s really bizarre that it has existed for a month now and nothing is beeing done by the team.
Good, better late than never i guess.
i can confirm the bug is still happennig, just experienced it.
Bug seems to be fixed, some dude tried it on me and my health stayed at 15, he raged quit lol
According to the ‘blue’ post cited above, the server-side hotfix was being rolled out when it was posted, so yeah, I guess you caught it.
