I have played multiple games against Warlock and every time after they play The Azerite Snake all sources of lifesteal stop working. For example I played Sire Denathrius and it just didn´t do anything same with all of the lifesteal minisions. This is game breaking bug so I guess the only class that I can play is Warlock and abuse this bug the same way as the other players are doing right now Standard.
Can you confirm that your hero was actually damaged ? The azerite snake reduces your health total so you can’t heal back to 30
But if they played only 1 snake and you are at 15/20 health and can’t heal back it’s indeed a bug

I played Sir Denathrius at 25 health and turn after they played The azerite snake again because and I played Hollow Hound now I was down to 15 health and after I attacked with Hollow Hound Lifesteal did not work on this minion as well. That is just one example from the last game I played against Warlock. The other time I was playing as Demon Hunter and my Unleash Fel did only damage but again no lifesteal.
From what you are telling and what I understand
You played a renathal deck
started at 35 health
they played a first azerite snake
you went down to 25 health
you played denathrius, hopping to lifesteal
you stayed at 25
they played a second azerite snake
you went down to 15
you played a hollow hound, hopping to lifesteal
you stayed at 15
is that what happened ?
If it is, then nothing is bugged here and everything worked as expected
Azerite snake does not deal damage to your hero, it steals hp and reduces max hp
if your max hp is reduced to 25 you can’t heal back to 35, that’s intended
Yes that is what happened. I didn´t realize that you cant heal back to your max health. So if that is how the card works how is that balanced? I tried to look through all the cards that are right now in Standard format and honestly it just feels like you cant outplay this at all. The reason why this deck is unbalanced because of the combination with Saloon Brewmaster and Youthful Brewmaster. I honestly like Hearthstone a lot and I´ve been palying Hearthstone since release but Demon Seed feels more balanced than this.
