I’m playing a Mill Warlock deck and I’m struggling to understand how the Archdruid of Throns interacts with minion board wipes and deathrattles. So here’s the thing: when I play an Amalgam followed by a Price Vendor, then drop my Archdruid, I expect certain interactions. For instance, if the Amalgam dies first, its deathrattle should trigger, and then the Vendor’s effect should happen next. However, I noticed that when I played certain cards like Ceaseless Expand in between, the Vendor’s effect triggered first which messed up the expected order. Why does this happen? I also thought board wipes cleared minions from left to right. Can someone explain how this works? Also, my first post, so sorry for any errors!

The order of deathrattles actually follows the sequence in which the cards were played, rather than their position on the board. So if Archdruid receives more than one deathrattle, it can get a random effect depending on the timing and order. In your second scenario, if you have another card that also triggers upon dying, that might have caused the confusion!
I tried what you suggested, and it seems like the deathrattles triggered in the correct order this time. But I noticed that sometimes the Archdruid behaves unexpectedly with its deathrattle depending on card placement. It’s a bit frustrating trying to figure out when you’ll get the draw effect!
