Betreyal?

@alexx55, your answers are both wrong, I think you guessed Breath of the Unborn already?

Betrayal is also incorrect, remember what i said about the thrid riddle, in order to find the answer you must look outside the game and to the real world. Maybe consult someone with a religious background?

Also, next time we should only post one riddle at a time because as it is, it’s too confusing to try and solve all of these at once.

Someone already tried that one, it was incorrect. The riddle does hint at this particular card giving buffs, but there are other things in there that specify the card such as what I said to alex55.

The only minion I can imagine that gives a buff that has to do with a fist (I remember you saying that it spcifically has to do with a fist) is primus fist which violates both the body more stoic part as well as the “dark price” part. Maybe shadow reflection would do, but that also violates the more stoic body part of the riddle. Cosmic Flesh was another one of my guesses, but based on the first line:

the card in question has to be a minion. The cards that would (sort-of) satisfy the brothers and sisters line would have to then be tribe/minion type oriented. My primary guesses for that would be either blood baronnette or duskweaver as they both provide buff(s) to a certain tribe which effects both the attack and health of the minion in question. To that effect, duskweaver fits better, but in the end

and

still continue to confound me as only duskweaver fits the “ask and you shall recieve” (it’s attack animation makes it look as if it’s praying), but neither B.Baron nor Duskweaver solve the “not needed” portion of the riddle.

The second hint:

A scent fills the room
Whatever appears
Chained to bear his holy burden
Shadows creep before his advance

For you and your amazin sleuthing skills I would focus on this part of the riddle (the second part of it) and try to understand what it has to do with the real world. I have already told alex55 that there are religious undertones…

I have a guess for this one. Rizen?

Reasoning: His cloak makes him look a bit like a shady merchant, including carrying around what look like three little eggs. He also duplicates himself through eggs, making it match the last two lines.

Wow, you got it right, you’re on fire!

The first two lines are supposed to hint at how shady Rizen looks holding open his concealed merchandise, the last two lines are hinting at the fact that he duplicates himself and when I said “myself, me and I” that was a hint to the three eggs he reveals in his coat.

Two riddles left!

I’d say it is the ghost azalea, but I cant figure out the 3rd line.

Azaleas are flowers with a strong scent

It is called Ghost azalea

The more creep you have, the more attack it gives.
As i said, cant figure out the 3rd line, as there may be some religious aspect, but only thing I found is that sending them in a black vase is a death threat

Everyone, take a brain break. You’ll be able to solve mine in a few seconds, so it would give you a nice rest. Enjoy.


My soul is weak and delicate, but it glimmers when it shatters.
Even a fragile touch can break my heart, but that is all that matters.
The winter’s might and the moonlit bite surge from my geometry,
And you will someday meet your doom along with my symmetry.

Hundred hands? It’s a sentinel, so that covers the hidden part. The toll is the 2 damage towards Tiger and small creatures, and if you can’t take 2 damage, then you dead.

Yay, you got it! I was surprised that no one got that immediately.

Everyone, I will reveal the answer to the 3rd riddle because I think it is too difficult to get (also because I sucked at making this riddle).

In 4 hours or so…

In the meantime, you can just blast me with everything you can think of.

Okay, the correct answer for the following riddle:

My brother and sisters
I can make them bigger
A fist more heavy
A body more stoic
Not that it is needed
But for a price too dark to bear
You need only ask
Ask and you shall receive

The second hint:

A scent fills the room
Whatever appears
Chained to bear his holy burden
Shadows creep before his advance

is…Alabaster Titan!

I know some of you are probably like “that doesn’t even make sense, you are a horrible person and deserve a cell in Guantanamo Bay” but just let me explain before you declare me a POW.

My brother and sisters
I can make them bigger

This was supposed to narrow down the factions that the riddle refers to as one which has a sense of brotherhood which is Lyonar or a sense of being in a pack/hive which is Magmar. Abyss wouldn’t make sense because it is only females, while they do have males within the faction itself, there is no unity between the genders. Songhai doesn’t really have a sense of unity among its members lore wise, the same goes for Vetruvian and Vanar.

A fist more heavy
A body more stoic

This refers to the minion giving the “brothers and sisters” a buff in both attacking power and defense. Now it is important to note two things: one, that I never mention how the buff is given in this line and two, I never say exactly how they are buffed. This means that both increasing max HP or giving forcefield are both admissible

Not that it is needed
But for a price too dark to bear

Now this one really just messed everyone up I think. This wasn’t meant to refer to abyss or bloodsurge or anything, this was supposed to be a reference to the fact that in order to run Alabaster Titan, you must have no spells in your deck. Almost all, if not all, spells in the Lyonar faction have some light animation or reference within their card name. So the price that is “too dark” is darkness itself without light due to having no spells.

You need only ask
Ask and you shall receive

This one I think I probably could’ve done a better job articulating, but this was meant to be reference to how the card gives buffs which is by equipping artifacts to your general.

A scent fills the room

This one was difficult to decipher for those who don’t really study the Bible, but the gist of it is that there is a section in John 12:1-8 where we see two woman carrying boxes made of alabaster to contain very strong perfume and when the box is broken open, the scent fills the room.

Whatever appears
Chained to bear his holy burden

This one was more meant to hint people towards religion because it refers Jesus Christ holding over his back the Cross on which he was crucified and I tried to make that akin to Alabaster Titan.

Shadows creep before his advance

This last line refers to once again the fact that you have to have no spells in your deck when running Alabaster Titan. Other players can tell if you are running Alabaster if you play no spells (aside from BBS) which is basically shadows or darkness, referencing lack of spells, before the advancement or summoning of Titan.


Well, that is all! I hope you guys enjoy my riddles, if you want more, just ask! And if you still want to send me to Guantanamo, well I suppose it’s only right :cold_sweat:.

Oh nooo, that was actually my first guess (the dark price was what tipped me off) but in the end I discarded it as an option because I didn’t see any way to make it fit the second hint. Should’ve gone with my gut, I suppose…

Nah, it’d be more useful to send you to Mohenjo-Daro. You might be able to decipher their text what with how cryptic you are.

Anywho, that was the last of the 8 right?

Yep! Unless you guys want more…
