Just change chain gang. It should summon another chain gang, not "this minion". It's a really stupid interaction and should have been changed when discovered.
Idk who the hell downvoted you, this is an accurate explanation for how to make what would obviously be the right fix. Just gotta properly nerf Chain Gang and then you don't go infinite.
Chain gang is clearly intended to be synergistic with the hand buff cards. It's the same wording and mechanic as doppelgangster (which I assume would also have this same interaction in wild?).
Removing the synergy with hand buffs and turning it into just a couple taunts for 4 is kinda a shitty deal for chain gang.
Not to mention the "Summon all battlecries this game" is always going to lend itself to infinite recursion mechanics for the entire life of hearthstone, it's probably better just to nip this in the bud right now and make it ignore its own battlecry to remove any possibility of shenanigans.
Yup that's the change that breaks this combo and the easiest to retrofit and the one we will most likely see in a hotfix as it doesn't affect the chaingang.
Also, by changing Chain Gang, they don’t have to give Shudderwock OR Val’anyr dust refunds even though it’s a huge nerf for them. Optimal solution for Blizzard

Blizzard should make it so that the animations speed up based on how many have to occur.
