What is crazy is that you believe they intended “infinite Velens”. It’s obviously a mistake.
The 2013 coder “intended” battlecries to be that way and they forgot.
More technically the 2013 coder didn’t even expect this problem,
back then they thought Battlecry would be an one-off only.
That’s pure speculation on your part. You’re just asserting your opinion as though it’s fact.
you are lying

“This is how it was designed to work. Partially, I think it’s due to how Xyrella, the Devout works, and the precedent she set. Perhaps this design will change one day. But, at the moment, this is the intended design.”
Xyrella the Devout doesn’t even do Battlecries, it does Deathrattles, which is further indication that Dev is out of their depth.
Get over it they just forgot the original 2013 design. Not in a million years they intended “infinite Velens”.
in the same thread he explains this is how it should work
you are telling us believe you instead of a HS software engineer …
This is such a weird argument you keep making.
The designer of something explains he designs something a certain way, and by asking the designer themself of the thing they designed is somehow invoking credentialism.
It’s not credentialism. It’s the maker of the code.
When someone invents something and you ask them about their invention, asking them isn’t invoking credentialism. Literally no one in the world knows more than the person who made it.
It would be like wondering how Microsoft was founded, but you’re not allowed to ask Bill Gates himself because that’s credentialism. Ridiculous argument.
You can spam the authority fallacy all you want; it doesn’t touch me; I have professional experience with software engineering myself so I’m not starstruck that easily by Devs.
Stop lying to yourself anyway. You admitted yourself it’s extremely counter-intuitive for Velen to work that way.
Obviously they didn’t intend “infinite Velens” because Blizzard never designs that counter-intuitively.
It’s a battlecry that triggers deathrattles and has everything to do with how Velen works as well.
How are you this lost? He brings it up for a reason as it describes the difference between the two.
I said I don’t like how the word “this” means something different on 2 types of cards. I might disagree with it because it can be confusing, but that doesn’t mean I don’t understand what they are saying.
i found a more detailed post he made
Hopefully this can clear up some confusion:
Deathrattles
There is a difference between when a minion triggers another minion’s deathrattle and when a minion has another minion’s deathrattle (through a copy effect).
Example 1 - Copied Deathrattle
If you were to use Death Growl on Adaptive Amalgam while it is next to a Wisp, and then the Wisp dies, the deathrattle copied from Adaptive Amalgam would shuffle the Wisp back into your deck.
Example 2 - Triggered Deathrattle
If you were to trigger Adaptive Amalgam’s deathrattle with Xyrella, the Devout, it would shuffle a copy of Adaptive Amalgam into your deck. Not a copy of Xyrella.
Example 3 - Copied & Triggered Deathrattle
If you were to play Boneshredder, and they chose to copy AND trigger Adaptive Amalgam’s deathrattle, it would first shuffle a copy of Adaptive Amalgam into your deck, and then when Boneshredder died it would shuffle a copy of Boneshredder into the deck.
Battlecries
Now this is only how Deathrattles work. Triggered Battlecries work like you’d expect. Also, there is (currently) no way to copy a battlecry on to a minion. Mostly because that doesn’t make any functional sense, like copying a deathrattle does.
Example 4 - Triggered Battlecry
Triggered battlecries uses the active minion executing the Battlecry as the source. If you were to use Shudderwock to trigger Saronite Chain Gang, it summons a copy of Shudderwock. Likewise, if you use Velen to trigger Saronite Chain Gang, it summons a copy of Velen. Infinite Velens.

Now you disappoint me at how little you make sense. Xyrella is approximately irrelevant here, since it does not duplicate Battlecries.
I mean it’s not even a challenge to bring an argument at this point. Whoever got the point I’m making already got it.
Just because you don’t understand why Xyrella is brought into the argument, doesn’t make others wrong.
You clearly did not read the thread. There is a specific reason that card is brought up. You don’t understand it, clearly. Clearly.
There’s a standard version of this deck as well. It’s an okay deck but nothing that will dominate ATM.
Yeah it’s really weak. IF Priest gets some Starship cards in the mini-set, it could be pretty good.
your argument is terrible
you are telling to beleive you instead of clabyite
who we know is a blizzard software Engineer
what kind of argument is that ???
Not an authority fallacy argument. I don’t need your approval. Having my time wasted by authority fallacies on video gaming forums is the most predictable thing in the universe.
Like that guy who can’t stop reminding us of their rank. I don’t care; bring arguments; the rank or the profession of someone means nothing to me.
you are like those antivaxxers(same mindset)…ok good to know
Are you talking to the mirror? Antivaxxers don’t use arguments, and they use credentialism based on bad doctors who agree with them.
Took you long enough.
Stop getting sucked into this black hole with these people.
you are literaly telling us to beleive you instead of someone who works at blizzard
your only argument is “because i say so”
Yeah, that happened to Roffle who had like 300 armor but was almost grinded down by a Libram Paladin. That’s why I loved to have Selfish Shellfish in my armor N’Zoth Priest back in the day. Was thinking of updating that with Starship but I can’t bear the tought of trying to play Wild for more than half an hour
