Puzzles and Hearthstone

We’ve tested your Hearthstone knowledge once, and we’re ready to do it again! Dust off your gnomish thinking caps and prepare yourselves for another round of Puzzles and Hearthstone! The players in each of these images can win in the current turn, and it’s your job to figure out how exactly to pull it off. Can you help the current player win and solve these Hearthstone puzzles?

Puzzle 1

Difficulty: 5/5 Mana Crystals

Your opponent is playing Gul’dan, the Warlock. He has seven cards in his hand, and the following minions in play: Cultmaster, Summoning Portal, Ravenholdt Assassin, Flame Imp, and Spellbreaker.

You are playing Anduin Wrynn, the Priest. You have only one card in play, a Shieldbearer that has been silenced. Your hand contains: Auchenai Soulpriest, Inner Fire, Shadow Madness, Power Word: Shield, Reckless Rocketeer, Greater Heal, and Circle of Healing.

It’s turn 10 for you, and you have 5 health remaining. Gul’dan is staring you down with 25 health left. How can you win against this wily Warlock?

Puzzle 2

Difficulty: 3/5 Mana Crystals

Your opponent is Jaina Proudmoore, the Mage. She has four cards in her hand, and the following minions in play: Sunwalker (with Divine Shield active), a Water Elemental (currently at 3/1), and a 3/3 Ethereal Arcanist.

You are playing Thrall, the Shaman. You have the following minions in play: A Booty Bay Bodyguard (5/1 and frozen by the Water Elemental), a Shieldbearer, a Young Dragonhawk, a Stoneclaw Totem, a Wrath of Air Totem, and a Murloc Warleader.

Taking a look at your cards, your hand contains: Bloodlust, Lightning Bolt, Windfury, Hex, Rockbiter Weapon, Ironbeak Owl, Flametongue Totem, and Lava Burst.

It’s your 7th turn, and you have 7 health remaining, while your opponent is looking pretty good with 25 health remaining. How can Thrall teach Jaina a lesson in the power of the elements?

Puzzle 3

Difficulty: 5/5 Mana Crystals

In our last puzzle, your opponent is Garrosh Hellscream, the Warrior. He has four cards in his hand. He has the following minions in play: Leper Gnome, Mogushan Warden, Tauren Warrior, and Gruul. He has an Arcanite Reaper equipped as a weapon.

You are Gul’dan, the Warlock. You have the following minions in play: Summoning Portal, Mana Addict, a 1/1 Lightwarden, Chillwind Yeti, Voidwalker*, Kobold Geomancer, and Raging Worgen.

(* Voidwalker has had his art updated! The Voidwalker has taken over the Void Terror’s old art, and the Void Terror will have brand new art. In this puzzle, this is a Voidwalker!)

Taking a peek at your hand, you've got: Hellfire, Frost Elemental, Defender of Argus, Earthen Ring Farseer, Archmage, Corruption, and Sacrificial Pact.

Garrosh is at 21 Health and no Armor.

You are at 1 Health and have 10 mana at your disposal. So, how do you dispose of this pesky Warrior?
