The Hearthstone streamer Kripparrian just can’t get rid of Arthas. The Lich King is back again, as he wanted to get a golden card through clever disenchantment.
Even Batman knew, “on some days, you just can’t get rid of a bomb” – and the same obviously applies to Lich Kings in Hearthstone.
While most players are just opening their first packs of the new expansion “Knights of the Frozen Throne”, the pros have already completed their collection. This was also the case for Arena pro Kripparrian, who is currently streaming more frequently and enjoying the new Hearthstone expansion.
During his stream, a funny incident occurred. He disenchanting the card “Lich King” to increase his chance of getting a golden Arthas.
But there are simply days when you just can’t get rid of a Lich King. See for yourself what happens just a few seconds after the disenchantment:
Kripparrian has a special goal with the disenchantment. He wants to pull the golden Lich King from a card pack and not have to craft it himself. Therefore, he has previously received or crafted all other legendary cards with Arcane Dust – only the Lich King was missing. Now, whenever he gets a legendary card, it is guaranteed to be the Lich King, which also means there’s a chance that this card is directly golden. So Kripp hoped to save a bit of Arcane Dust.
Kripparrian can only afford this approach because he has more than 264,000 Arcane Dust after disenchanting what is probably the largest Hearthstone collection in the world some time ago.
And what do we learn from this clip? The same thing Bolvar taught us in World of Warcraft: There must always be a Lich King.
