Druid plays Druid of the Claw. Opponent Mage has Mirror Entity secret readied.
Correct Answer
A. Mage will get Druid with the same form
Explanation
When the Druid plays Druid of the Claw, the opponent Mage's Mirror Entity secret will trigger.

5.
One player has Abomination with 1 hp on board, his opponent has Wild Pyromancer with 1 hp and Cult Master with 2 hp. Pyromancer’s owner casts The Coin.
Correct Answer
C. All three minions die, Cult master draws 1 card
Explanation
When the player casts The Coin, it triggers the effect of the Wild Pyromancer, dealing 1 damage to all minions. This causes the Abomination and the Wild Pyromancer to die, as they both have 1 hp. The Cult Master also takes 1 damage, but it survives with 1 hp remaining. Since the Cult Master witnessed the death of the Abomination and the Wild Pyromancer, its ability activates and it draws 1 card. Therefore, all three minions die and the Cult Master draws 1 card.
6.
Warlock casts Power Overwhelming on his minion, then silences it.
Correct Answer
A. Minion will lose bonus stats and will not die at the end of turn
Explanation
When the Warlock casts Power Overwhelming on his minion, the minion gains bonus stats but also receives a "Deathrattle" effect that causes it to die at the end of the turn. However, when the minion is silenced, it loses all card text and effects, including the "Deathrattle" effect. Therefore, the minion will lose the bonus stats from Power Overwhelming but will not die at the end of the turn.
7.

A. Warrior will have 15 hp, amount of armor will not change in any case
Explanation
When a player uses Alexstraza's battlecry on an armored Warrior, the Warrior's health will be set to 15, regardless of the amount of armor they have. The armor will not be affected by the battlecry. Therefore, the Warrior will have 15 hp and the amount of armor will remain the same.
8.

Correct Answer
C. Oldest minions will return to Rogue’s hand, other ones will die
Explanation
When Rogue casts Vanish, all minions on the board are returned to their owner's hand. In this case, since Rogue has 7 minions on board, all 7 of them will be returned to Rogue's hand. The answer states that the oldest minions will return to Rogue's hand, meaning the minions that were played first will be the ones returned. The other minions will die, meaning they will be removed from the game. Therefore, the correct answer is that the oldest minions will return to Rogue's hand, and the other ones will die.
10.
Hunter has Snipe secret readied. Opponent plays Lord Jaraxxus.
Correct Answer
A. Snipe will deal 4 damage to Jaraxxus
Explanation
Snipe is a secret that triggers when the opponent plays a minion. Since Lord Jaraxxus is a hero card and not a minion, Snipe will not trigger. Therefore, it will not deal any damage to Jaraxxus.
11.
Player has 4 minions on board. His opponent has 6 minions on board and plays Mind Conrol Tech
Correct Answer
A. Controlled minion will die
Explanation
When the opponent plays Mind Control Tech, it will take control of one of the player's minions randomly. Since the player has 4 minions on board, one of them will be taken control of by the Mind Control Tech. As a result, the controlled minion will no longer be under the player's control and will be considered as an opponent's minion. Therefore, it will be subject to any effects that would cause it to die, such as damage or destruction effects.
12.
Mage has Lorewalker Cho on board and Counterspell secret readied. His opponent casts Holy Light.
Correct Answer
C. Secret will cancel Holy Light, Cho will copy only Holy Light
Explanation
When the opponent casts Holy Light, the Counterspell secret will activate and cancel the Holy Light spell. However, since Lorewalker Cho is on the board, his effect will trigger and copy the Holy Light spell before it is cancelled. Therefore, Cho will only copy the Holy Light spell and not the Counterspell secret.
13.
Mage has Counterspell secret readied. Opponent Shaman plays Lightning Storm.
Correct Answer
B. Shaman will not be overloaded
Explanation
When the Mage has Counterspell secret readied, it triggers when the opponent casts a spell. Counterspell cancels the opponent's spell and prevents it from taking effect. In this case, when the opponent Shaman plays Lightning Storm, Counterspell will activate and cancel the spell. As a result, the Lightning Storm spell does not resolve, and therefore the Shaman will not be overloaded.
14.
Warrior has Stormwind Champion and Warsong Commander on board. Warrior plays Faerie Dragon.
Correct Answer
A. Warsong Commander will give charge to Faerie Dragon
Explanation
Warsong Commander's effect gives charge to all friendly minions with 3 or less attack. Faerie Dragon has 3 attack, so it qualifies for the charge effect and will receive charge from Warsong Commander.
15.

17.
Hunter has Emperor cobra and two adjacent minions with 3 hp on board, and Snake trap secret readied. Opponent Rogue casts Betrayal on Cobra.
Correct Answer
C. Cobra will deal 2 damage to adjacent minions and destroy them. Secret will not triiger.
Explanation
When the opponent Rogue casts Betrayal on the Emperor Cobra, the Cobra's effect triggers and it deals 2 damage to the adjacent minions. As a result, the adjacent minions are destroyed. However, since the Cobra is the one dealing the damage, the Snake Trap secret will not trigger.
18.
Hunter plays Knife Juggler on empty board and then plays Unleash the Hounds. Opponent has 7 minions on board, each of them has 1 hp.
Correct Answer
A. Unleash will summon 6 Hounds, after each Hound Knife Juggler will throw a knife
Explanation
When the Hunter plays Unleash the Hounds, it will summon a Hound for each enemy minion on the board. In this case, there are 7 enemy minions with 1 hp each, so Unleash will summon 7 Hounds. After each Hound is summoned, the Knife Juggler will throw a knife, resulting in a total of 7 knives being thrown. Therefore, the correct answer is that Unleash will summon 7 Hounds and Knife Juggler will throw 7 knives.
19.
Hunter has Violet Teacher and Scavenging Hyena on board. Opponent has 7 minions on board. Hunter plays Unleash the hounds
Correct Answer
D. Unleash will summon 4 Hounds, Teacher will summon 1 Apprentice, Hyena will stay 2/2
Explanation
When the Hunter plays Unleash the Hounds, it will summon 4 Hounds. The Violet Teacher will then summon 1 Apprentice due to the spell being cast. The Scavenging Hyena will not receive any buffs because no enemy minions were killed during the Unleash the Hounds spell. Therefore, the Hyena will stay as a 2/2 minion.
20.
Mage has Spellbender secret readied. Opponent Rogue plays Shadowstep.
Correct Answer
B. Spellbender minion will return to mage’s hand
Explanation
When the opponent Rogue plays Shadowstep, it will target the Spellbender minion on the board. However, Spellbender's effect only triggers when the opponent casts a spell that targets a minion. Since Shadowstep targets a minion, the Spellbender secret will trigger and the Spellbender minion will be returned to the mage's hand.
21.
Player plays Doomsayer, then Alarm-o-Bot. Both minions survive till next turn.
Correct Answer
C. Bot will swap, all minions save swapped one will die

22.
Priest casts Shadow Madness on enemy Harvest Golem and kills it.
Correct Answer
A. Damaged golem will be summoned to the priest’s side and will stay there
Explanation
When the Priest casts Shadow Madness on the enemy Harvest Golem and kills it, the damaged golem will be summoned to the Priest's side and will stay there. This is because Shadow Madness allows the Priest to take control of an enemy minion until the end of the turn. Since the Harvest Golem was killed while under the Priest's control, it will be summoned to the Priest's side and remain there.
23.
Shaman plays Baron Geddon, then summons Healing Totem. Shaman also has some other minions on board. Shaman ends turn.
Correct Answer

Priest uses Cabal Shadow Priest’s battlecry on enemy Knife Juggler (1/3 with Humility) and takes control of Knife Juggler.
Correct Answer
A. Knife Juggler will throw a knife
Explanation
Juggler throws a knife because battlecry effect occurs before C.S. Priest is actually summoned.
26.
Player has Knife Juggler on board and casts Mind Control on enemy minion.
Correct Answer
B. Knife Juggler will not throw a knife
Explanation
When the player casts Mind Control on an enemy minion, the minion is no longer considered an enemy and becomes a friendly minion. Since Knife Juggler's ability triggers whenever a friendly minion is summoned, it will not throw a knife in this scenario because Mind Control does not technically summon the enemy minion onto the player's side of the board.
27.
Player has Wisp and Stealthed Worgen Infiltrator on board, his opponent Hunter has Misdirection secret readied. Wisp attacks Hunter.
Correct Answer
A. Stealthed Worgen cannot be attacked by Misdirected Wisp
Explanation
They say, there WAS a bug when you could Misdirect into steath, but it is fixed. If you have single stealthed minion on board and attack Hunter with your Hero, secret will not trigger.
28.
Hunter has Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap and Misdirection secrets readied. Minion attacks Hunter. Which secret will trigger first?
Correct Answer
A. The oldest one
Explanation
The oldest secret will trigger first because secrets are activated in the order they were played. In this case, Explosive Trap, Freezing Trap, and Misdirection were played in a specific order, so the oldest secret will be the first to trigger when the minion attacks the Hunter.
29.
Priest casts Shadow Madness on enemy minion, then casts Power Overwhelming on it and ends turn.
Correct Answer
A. Minion will die at the end of his original owner’s turn
Explanation
When the Priest casts Shadow Madness on an enemy minion, it temporarily gains control of that minion until the end of the turn. Then, when the Priest casts Power Overwhelming on the minion, it gains +4/+4 but also receives the Deathrattle effect "Destroy this minion." Since the minion still belongs to its original owner, it will die at the end of the original owner's turn, not the Priest's turn.
30.
Rogue has Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Wild Pyromancer on board. Rogue plays Vanish.
Correct Answer
C. Gadgetzan Auctioneer will draw a card, Wild Pyromancer will not deal damage
Explanation
When Rogue plays Vanish, all minions on the board, including Gadgetzan Auctioneer and Wild Pyromancer, are returned to their owner's hand. Gadgetzan Auctioneer's effect triggers whenever a spell is played, allowing the Rogue to draw a card. However, Wild Pyromancer's effect triggers whenever a spell is played, causing it to deal 1 damage to all minions. Since Vanish is a spell, Wild Pyromancer's effect would normally trigger. However, since Wild Pyromancer is also returned to the hand along with Gadgetzan Auctioneer, it is no longer on the board when the spell resolves, and therefore does not deal any damage.
31.
Player uses Abusive Seargent’s battlecry on Wisp, then casts Blessed Champion on Wisp and ends turn.
Correct Answer
B. At the end of turn Wisp will lose 4 attack
Explanation
When the player uses Abusive Sergeant's battlecry on Wisp, it gains +2 attack. Then, when Blessed Champion is cast on Wisp, its attack is doubled. However, at the end of the turn, Wisp loses the attack bonus from Abusive Sergeant's battlecry. Since the battlecry gave it +2 attack, it will lose 2 attack at the end of the turn. Therefore, Wisp's attack will decrease by 4, resulting in a total loss of 4 attack.
32.
Player has a 2/1 Leper Gnome on board and casts Commanding Shout. Lerep Gnome attacks enemy unstealthed Patient Assassin.
Correct Answer
B. Patient Assassin will die. Leper Gnome will survive.
Explanation
When the Leper Gnome attacks the Patient Assassin, the Patient Assassin will die due to the Leper Gnome's 2 attack. However, the Commanding Shout spell ensures that the Leper Gnome will survive with 1 health, as it prevents any friendly minions from being reduced below 1 health. Therefore, the Patient Assassin will die, but the Leper Gnome will survive.
33.
Player has a 3/2 Faerie Dragon on board and casts Commanding Shout. Faerie Dragon attacks enemy unstealthed Patient Assassin.
Correct Answer
A. Patient Assassin will die. Faerie Dragon will die.
Explanation
When the Faerie Dragon attacks the Patient Assassin, the Patient Assassin's ability triggers, causing it to instantly destroy any minion that damages it. Since the Faerie Dragon is not affected by spells or Hero Powers, it cannot be targeted by Commanding Shout and its attack will result in the destruction of both minions. Therefore, the correct answer is that both the Patient Assassin and the Faerie Dragon will die.
34.
Player has Auchenai Soulpriest and Ragnaros with full hp on board. Player casts Ancestral Healing on Ragnaros.
Correct Answer

35.
Player has Stormwind Champion on board. He plays 4/3 Succubus, then uses Crazed Alchemist’s battlecry on Succubus. Succubus will be:
Correct Answer
A. 5/6
Explanation
When Crazed Alchemist's battlecry is used on Succubus, its attack and health are swapped. Since Succubus has 4 attack and 3 health initially, swapping them results in a 3 attack and 4 health Succubus. However, because there is a Stormwind Champion on the board, all friendly minions have +1/+1. Therefore, the final stats of the Succubus after the battlecry will be 4 attack and 5 health, making it a 5/6 minion.
36.
Priest casts Mind games and it summons Wild Pyromancer.
Correct Answer
A. Wild Pyromancer will deal 1 damage to all minions
Explanation
When the priest casts Mind Games, it summons a copy of a random minion from the opponent's deck. In this case, the summoned minion is Wild Pyromancer. Wild Pyromancer has an effect that triggers whenever a spell is played, which deals 1 damage to all minions. Therefore, when Mind Games summons Wild Pyromancer, its effect will activate and deal 1 damage to all minions on the board.
37.
Hunter has Tundra Rhino 2/2 on board. Hunter plays River Crocolisk. Crocolisk attacks opponent Hunter with Explosive Trap secret readied.
Correct Answer
A. Crocolisk will deal damage to opponent Hunter
Explanation
The Tundra Rhino's ability grants all friendly beasts Charge, allowing them to attack immediately. Since the River Crocolisk is a beast and has been played after the Tundra Rhino, it will have Charge and be able to attack. The Explosive Trap secret only triggers when an opponent's minion attacks, not when a friendly minion attacks. Therefore, the Crocolisk will deal damage to the opponent Hunter.
38.
Paladin casts two Blessings of Wisdom on Young Dragonhawk. Young Dragonhawk attacks twice. How many cards Paladin will draw?
Correct Answer
A. 4
Explanation
When Paladin casts two Blessings of Wisdom on Young Dragonhawk, each time Young Dragonhawk attacks, Paladin will draw a card. Since Young Dragonhawk attacks twice, Paladin will draw a total of 4 cards.
39.
Priest has two Sorcerer's Apprentices on board and two Shadowforms in hand. How many times can he use Hero Power this turn?
Correct Answer
C. 3
Explanation
The Priest can use his Hero Power three times this turn. Each Sorcerer's Apprentice reduces the cost of his Hero Power by 1, so with two Sorcerer's Apprentices on board, the Hero Power costs 0 mana. He has two Shadowforms in hand, which allows him to use his Hero Power twice each. Therefore, he can use his Hero Power three times in total.
40.
Player has two 7/5 Barons Geddon on board. Player ends turn.
Correct Answer
A. Each Geddon will have 3 hp
Explanation
Each Baron Geddon has a base health of 5. When a player ends their turn, Baron Geddon's effect triggers, dealing 2 damage to all other minions on the board. Since both Baron Geddon's are on the board, they will deal 2 damage to each other, reducing their health to 3. Therefore, each Baron Geddon will have 3 hp.
41.
Mage uses Faceless Manipulator’s battlecry on enemy Ysera, gets Ysera Awakens and casts it.
Correct Answer
D. Both Yseras will take no damage
Explanation
When the Mage uses Faceless Manipulator's battlecry on the enemy Ysera and gets Ysera Awakens, it will not deal any damage to either Ysera. This is because Ysera Awakens only deals 5 damage to all other characters except Ysera herself. Since the enemy Ysera is the one casting the spell, she will not take any damage. Similarly, the Mage's Ysera will also not take any damage as the spell does not affect Ysera herself. Therefore, both Yseras will take no damage.
42.
Player has two 4/5 Chillwind Yetis on board. His opponent Warlock plays Emperor Cobra and casts Shadowflame on it.
Correct Answer
B. Shadowflame will not destroy Yetis
Explanation
Shadowflame destroys a minion and deals damage to all other minions equal to its attack. However, the Chillwind Yetis have 4/5 stats, which means they have 4 attack and 5 health. Since the Emperor Cobra has 2 attack, it will not be able to destroy the Yetis with its attack alone. Therefore, when Shadowflame is cast on the Emperor Cobra, it will not have enough attack to destroy the Yetis.
43.
Paladin equips Truesilver Sword and attacks Hunter. Hunter has Misdirection secret readied. How many hp will Paladin restore?
Correct Answer
A. 2

44.
Warrior has a 1/1 Gorehowl equipped. Warrior attacks enemy minion.
Correct Answer
A. Gorehowl will become 0/1
Explanation
When the Warrior attacks an enemy minion with the 1/1 Gorehowl equipped, the weapon will take 1 damage. Since the weapon's durability is reduced by the amount of damage taken, the Gorehowl will become 0/1. This means that the weapon will still be equipped, but it will no longer have any durability left and will be destroyed if attacked again.
45.
Player has a 2/2 Questing Adventurer on board. He uses Stormpike Commando’s battlecry on Adventurer.
Correct Answer
C. Adventurer will be 3/1
Explanation
When the player uses Stormpike Commando's battlecry on the Questing Adventurer, the Adventurer will take 2 damage. Since the Adventurer's current stats are 2/2, it will become a 3/1.
