its doing the dmg it should (48) when one hits the other they both proc lifesteal for 8 ea (16), then the honorable kill happens dealing 8 twice (16) and that procs lifesteal (another 16). 16 x 3 = 48
1: The trolls fight, dealing 8 lifesteal damage to each other. 2: Ilgynoth sees 16 lifesteal happening, so it hits the enemy hero for 16. 3: Both trolls realize they got an honorable kill. So both deal 8 lifesteal damage to the enemy hero. 4: Ilgynoth again sees 16 lifesteal happening, so it hits the enemy hero for 16. 48 damage total.
That's because creatures now keep life steal and poisonous affects when they deal damage after being reduced to 0 life. It was a change added a while ago to make poisonous deathrattles more useful, but looks like it works here too!
Okay, I understand. What was hanging me up was the "Honorable Kill" rules. "Honorable Kill triggers when a minion or spell deals exact damage required to kill a character, during the owner's turn. " So even though one of the trolls is technically defending an attack (that usually takes place during your opponent's turn), it happens on Mark's turn along with the attack from the other troll. Meaning they both are doing exact lethal damage on the owner's turn, one from the attack and one from the defense.
Tbh the "confusing" part is HK is weirdly worded to be "kills on your turn" instead of doing the attack. Both would work for 99% of practical scenarios, but I guess this also allows for say Provoke or whatever nonsense this is.
So troll 1 deals 8 dmg for honorable kill + lifesteal and troll 2 delas 8 for lifesteal on first attack. Then troll 2 attacks troll 1 and the sequence is repeeated for a total of 48 dmg, 36 the mage had plus the 12 overkill shown.
no the reason not to play wild isn't this deck by any means. I mean shudderwock would be enough and it's a way higher percent than these otk decks. 😆😆😆😆
