This series is all about the gameplay. No commentary, no drawn-out intros — just raw, focused Hearthstone Battlegrounds action, trimmed down and sped up so you get all the highlights without the downtime. Whether you’re here to pick up tips, enjoy the comps, or just vibe with the rhythm of the rounds, this is your tavern table.
For Episode 1, Ruhtra takes on the role of Pyramad, a lesser-picked hero with a simple power that scales health turn by turn. But the real star of this build? Dozy Whelp — a sleepy little Tier 1 Dragon who gains attack every time he’s attacked. Pairing that with Pyramad’s ever-growing health boosts created the perfect storm: a frontline dragon that refused to go down quietly... and hit back harder every single time.
The Wife joined the fight as Sire Denathrius, rocking her signature tribe: Quillboar. Blood gems, buffs, and board control — she plays it cool and calculated, steadily building power turn after turn. With Denathrius keeping the momentum flowing and the gem synergies stacking fast, her side of the board was all tusks, teeth, and tempo.
Together, Dragons and Quillboars clashed and coordinated like seasoned tavern veterans. Cards flew across the board. Buffs stacked sky high. And the comps came online in perfect harmony.
As with all episodes of Battlegrounds Overload, we won’t spoil the final outcome. That’s not what it’s about. This series is here to showcase the rhythm of the game — the pivot moments, the lucky rolls, the clutch card passes, and the quiet satisfaction of a build that works... or doesn’t. Because in the end, it’s all part of the ride.
Hearthstone is a staple in the Holy Shock household — a game we come back to again and again, whether it’s to chill, compete, or share a few chaotic rounds with the family. Even Pink Racer is learning the ropes, though she sat this match out. For now, this one’s all Ruhtra and The Wife — and a reminder that even a sleepy dragon can pack a serious punch.
So here it is — Episode 1. The start of something stormy. Whether you're a Battlegrounds grinder or just here for the ride, welcome to the table.
This is Holy Shock: Battlegrounds Overload. Let’s make it electric. ⚡🐉🐗
