Hearthstone Streamer DisguisedToast Breaks The Game With New Card

DisguisedToast is a name that anyone who is familiar with Hearthstone will know. In the past, he’s experimented with wacky decks and card combinations to try and break the game and see just how far he can go to create lethal, and just a few hours into the new expansion, Witchwood, he’s managed it. Using the new card ‘Shudderwock’, Toast manages to make the card replicate itself endlessly in his hand and on the board, causing his turn to last for over five minutes. Check it out below.

You’re probably wondering how this works. To know that, you have to understand Shudderwock’s effect: “Battlecry: Repeat all other Battlecries from cards you’ve played this game (targets chosen randomly).” It’s very reminiscent of Yogg-Saron, who has now rotated to wild, but you can control what he does. The other cards required for this combo are Murmuring Elemental: “Battlecry: Your next Battlecry this turn triggers twice,” Saronite Chain Gang: “Battlecry: Summon a copy of this minion,” and Grumble, Worldshaker: “Battlecry: Return your other minions to your hand. They cost (1).”

Shudderwock comes down, Murmuring Elemental’s effect happens meaning the next battlecry triggers twice, which is Saronite Chain Gang’s effect, but because Shudderwock is essentially the minion casting the effect, it summons a copy of Shudderwock. Grumble’s effect then gets played, pushing all of the Shudderwocks back to Toast’s hand. But because of the double battlecry from Murmuring Elemental, this process happens all over again.

It’s a crazy combination that requires drawing of the right cards to make it work, but if you can pull it off consistently then it’s absolutely phenomenal. No doubt a nerf will be coming swiftly for Shudderwock, but for now, craft that bad boy and start making some infinite length turns.
