Board Clear Puzzles Guide for the Puzzle Lab

Last updated on Aug 24, 2018 at 15:51 by Kat 1 comment

Board Clear Puzzles create very complex board-states and challenge you to be able to fully clear the board. The puzzles are very comparable to situations in ranked play where you wish to utilise the Defile spell, with the added condition that you must full clear all minions, including your own and any summoned by Deathrattle effects.

Hints and Solutions for each of the Board Clear Puzzles can be found below.
