To me, it's not the difficulty so much as the randomness. If it were simply a matter of learning how a deck played and getting used to it, I'd be happy. Instead, we get terrible match-ups that are only possible to beat when the AI draws poorly and you draw extremely well. Extremely unlikely draws should be a way you occasionally lose a game, not the only way to occasionally win.
I failed to complete Friday's challenge, the first one I've ever failed that I had time to play.
Another problem with the challenges is that the benefit of doing them is pretty minimal. Since they made the event cards so easy to get (they used to cost a lot more tickets, for those that weren't around back then) you don't need the challenges for ticket boosts so the only real reason to do them is for 1 free pack if you finish all 7 of them and frankly, it's not worth it.
So... easy solution! Ignore the daily challenges.
I would agree it's not an easy challenge. It can take several attempts, getting the right cards in your initial draw is part of the problem. However it is possible to do it, I have to wait an hour before I can re-do it as I have ad option to watch- so my sympathy is not so great for those of you complaining about watching adverts to have another go. Remember you benefit from those adverts by getting free gems. I don't. You need to think about what you need to break through those chestnuts, such as, deadly, strike through, getting enough cards to stop damage to your hero. I think, one way it could be easier on these challenges is to give us an idea what the deck we use is comprised of. That way, I might have idea what cards I need to arrive in my deck.
Not it all challenges will be easy, as some people like to have some challenges a bit tougher to work them out. Card draw is the problem, no good getting a smashing garag on turn one. But, I can see they've tried to solve this by giving plenty of cards that give extra cards. Which to me, makes it unpredictable for those of who like to build a deck for specific cards. Like, using wing nut for going viral, or grave buster, for grave digger. All the cards you need to beat this challenge are in the deck, you just need to get them, ideally in the right order. By the way I haven't done the challenge, as I'm on my 6 attempt. Now waiting another hour to do it. I don't need to do it as I've all 4 event cards, and I had the card issue on the first challenge of the week so I won't get a free pack for doing a weeks worth of challenges. I just don't like to be beaten.

I don't know about impossible, but I can't some of these challenges. I've never failed to complete one because I want my ding dang free pack, but out of the 5 times I redid the daily, not ONCE did Gondola do ANYTHING. It was total dead weight. Amphibious deck with all lanes stuffed with chestnuts... My victory came from getting flex and cowboy in the same hand and the ai not countering the cowboy on 5. Do you think this daily was a mistake? Maybe when the challenge was made, they assumed Gondola would actually move whenever it hit anything? I have my doubts, looking at other challenges, but in few months I've been playing I have come to find the dailies to be more of a chore than a fun challenge. Except for the puzzles. Ah, how I love puzzle day <3.
I'm not sure how much thought really went into the Gondola challenge. "Let's have the player start with a really cool card against a Plant Hero that half the time will be starting with a superpower that can transform it on turn one, before it has a chance to do anything at all!" Yeah. Sounds like a lot of fun.
