Playing hearthstone as a blind person. Could this be done?

I have seen kripparian play blindfolded before but given turn time limits making it impossible to read all the card text to you so it would require complete understanding of the cards function and the computer reading you card names as they're drawn or played and saying what position they're played in.

This is especially complicated by cards such as Silas who would move your right most or leftmost card and cards such as illucia who would swap hands and would need to read your entire opponents hand and what you got back.

In its current form if you are not already experienced and can visualize what the board should look like I would say it's impossible competitively but would be possible in the solo adventure format where you have infinite time to take a turn and possibly replay the speech of the previous turn if you were unsure.

This would, however, be complicated by solo adventures incorporating a lot of cards that appear only in each adventure and only on specific bosses.

I think, if it's possible at all, it would be best played either in solo adventures with much time taken to explain hero powers and unique cards or in friendly matches where your opponent can explain what the board looks like if you have questions and refrains from using super crazy cards like Yoggsaron who just spam a million random effects and completely change the game state.

I think the only competitive mode this would be viable on is Arena where random effects are less likely but would still require an understanding of the cards effects based on their names and general game mechanics.
