Tales98 | Hearthstone - Conceal + Herald Volazj bugged interaction @Tales98 | Uploaded 7 years ago | Updated 5 hours ago
TL;DR: if you play Herald Volazj to copy minions that have been under Conceal effects earlier in the game, the new minions get permanent stealth.

Hey guys, it's been a while! I've been a little away from speedrunning lately but I'm playing some other games for fun, without making videos of them, like Hearthstone (this card game from Blizzard). But yesterday I went through a bug that was worth recording.
I was playing a ranked game at around rank 12 as Miracle Questing Rogue against a Priest. I played a Swashburglar that stole a Herald Volazj from my opponent. In a mid part of the match, I played a Questing Adventurer with Conceal. In the next turn (my Questing didn't have stealth anymore), I played the Herald Volazj I got from Swashburglar, and I noticed that the new Questing had stealth. At first, I thought that was a visual bug, but I noticed it actually had stealth properties. And it still had stealth in the next turns, even though Conceal makes a minion stealthed for one turn!
So I decided to test this strange behavior with a friend. We built decks that helped us get that same scenario to confirm this interaction. And we noticed that if you copy stealthed minions when they're under Conceal effect (even though they've already attacked), the interaction works fine. The copied minion gets stealth effect for only one turn. But if you copy minions that have been under Conceal effect anytime in the past, it'll keep the stealth property PERMANENTLY. As that's not what Conceal describes, that's an interaction bug.
In the last clip of the video, you can see both interactions from Herald Volazj: when you copy a minion in the turn you play Conceal and when you do it in a turn after.
Even though Conceal is getting out of the meta in the next rotation, this is a bug that's worth fixing in the game, as it's a card that will surely be played in Wild format. Also, there's still a month until the rotation!
This video has been done after the last patch from 02/28. I don't know if this interaction was already bugged before this patch or if it was somehow included when Blizzard was changing a few mechanics of the game to prepare for the next expansion. But it's still a thing in the game at the date of the upload of this video!
