My frothing math could be wrong but shouldn't you whirlwind twice--that'll give you 2 cards plus frothing goes from 6(starting)+6(first whirlwind)+6(2nd whirlwind)--execute the two taunts and hit face for 18+1 (acolyte) 19 with 2 mana to spare. I could be wrong on the frothing though.

Tasking berserker then double whirlwind double execute should give you 24 damage. 25 if you trade the acolyte into the remaining sunfury.

Only need 19, but yeah, that gives you even more damage.

Wow, that's crazy, I never would have come up with that solution, but it's good to know.

Normally this deck doesn't win on turn 6, so I wasn't even looking for lethal!

Shadow madness the Acolyte of pain and run it into the Belcher, Coin, Shadow madness the Belcher run it into the Cruel Task Master leaves you with a 1/5 Cleric and a 1/2 taunt and draws a card.

Ridiculously hard lethal - I don't have a screen shot, have to recreate it.

Opponent is an aggro paladin with an ashbringer with 2 charges and 2 scarlet crusaders, both with divine shield. We have 5 health

Our board is Loatheb that is a 5/1, drake, and thalnos. we have prep, evis, deadly poison, and shredder. we don't have a dagger equipped, but we have 10 mana crystals. If we sack the Thalnos we get a backstab.

Opponent is at 21. How the hell do we kill them!?

Does it somehow involve playing the shredder, backstabbing it, and hoping you get something with charge?

Clearly you've worked this out, but I am just not seeing how this is possible.

Running out of Mana is clearly not an issue.

We have 10 damage on board.

Hero Power + Deadly Poison gives us 3 more.

Eviscerate gives us 6 damage (4 + 1 + 1). So we have 19 if we go face with Thalnos.

Clearly we need to draw a card by suiciding Thalnos and hope to draw something other than a Backstab because I don't see how that's a winning card for us.

you could put the shredder between the drake/loatheb and backstab it for flametongue totem.

7 loatheb + 6 drake + 3 dagger/poison + 5 eviscerate = 21

I believe it's 1.49% as of BRM. Pretty sure there are 67 collectible 2 drops so Flametongue has a 1/67 chance of summon.

Haven't done one of these in a while, but in game I kinda gasped and said "oh wow is this lethal?!" We didn't have enough time to figure it out so went for the safe Velen->Nova play. (Opponent is Grim Patron obv) Spare part is from Toshley.

So... 1. Is this lethal? 2. If not, what's the most amount of damage we can do?
