[Hearthstone] Frozen Throne’s 35 Legendary Deck

hey guys how’s it going cranium frozen throne has arrived and as is always the case with the new expansion the absolute first neck we got to try is the new version of 35 legendary deck so the all legendary thing has kind of been like a theme every single time there’s a new expansion I’m curious how well this deck will do and over time it has improved because over time Blizzard has routinely introduced better and better early game Legendary’s making the deck a bit more viable now I tried different different style a few different classes and seems to be fun experimenting and a few of my friends seem to have the same idea and we get to have some pretty fun friendly matches so today I want to introduce you guys the Frozen Throne expansion through its legendaries enjoy the games guys and I’ll see you guys tomorrow if you’re challenging me you’re doing 35 legendaries ok don’t don’t screw around with your new wild deck using some of the new expansions cards run 35 legendary games right now I’m missing Kazakh I am NOT I kinda want to keep lich king it’s a tough keep so late but let’s try it oh maybe not so late now Sargent Sally is is on the weak side but it is it is a three drop so I’m taking it free-to-play deck I think the coin has much more value than trying to tempo him out against the 1/3 okay that’s kind of bad well five drop battle-cries flying up that many pretty bad is one damage off from clearing my board I can’t take the random polymorph from Maine okay okay okay I have no time for games tonight akela I have to live a minyan because we’re gonna have to push King next turn true terror I thought it was hand as well so all the minions in my deck okay give it a try suppose has a nice lift guys yes yes it’s out next ramus is live okay it’s life goodies got like frost worms flying around in the background the only issue would be if you put black knight in the sec whoa no really Oh what Prince Malik is our black knight okay I missed it didn’t scumbag me he didn’t like willfully put it in all right let’s give us a try I guess oh I seem too good turns out even in death lich king can win mm that’s okay well my deck is all minions so what’d you expect Oh mah dragons okay this might be a little difficult to take in but I’m pretty sure this is a play because the main way that he stays alive is Deathwing but if he plays Deathwing the boombots might have something to say about it much damage is that I think it’s safe to say Lich Kings single Henley just absolutely wreck that [Applause] pretty good he thought it was arena did you need to step off those drugs there they’re messing with you a bit good much [Music] try to make some tempo plays old strong decklist here yes it’s true in the EU it comes on the Levin but it’s like eleventh over there so it’s not exactly eleventh you can call it a compromise I’m pretty sure I took that out did I not yeah I did I did take that out now cuz our had other plans it seems tonight a tale terrible tragedy a lot of minion removal against not very many minions though oh okay I did give them bananas I guess pretty strong no there’s no lethal here no that’s the good one yeah this card is pretty strong when you’re winning okay replacements have arrived the legendary games are generally pretty fun it’s just they get really snowball a if one player has an insane draw mostly going first but that’s just so unlikely so most the games aren’t good keep our face the arena I’m waiting with this sorry bro I think we can be in charge here [Music] it doesn’t activate but yo uh two two and a deck that has very few two drops okay [Music] I’m going to go for the office a few of these death knight cards are pretty weak but I need 35 legendary games they’re generally pretty useful second Golden Goal down at the same and there’s better stuff to hit I imagine what’s this whole cooldown thing and I have a lot of messages to beat the dragon thing with palem from earlier oh man I gotta get rekt by Lich King again now okay fine these are just one more us that’s risky and they’re not that risky I have no time okay oh I’m dead not much of this damage like Alec here okay so we can actually give me a top this way let none survive I dream should I bet on bit on lich king hydra to get the talk back yeah but yeah yes sir right now I think I’m gonna try didn’t have to damage last turn so there’s 40 percent chance that you can’t kill me and if you can’t kill me I can get Lich King into Lich King which is a really big deal gonna heal me yeah I can heal me okay okay that’s good it’s a high-risk play for sure but I’m such a such a bad spot I think this is a spot where I can win okay all right see here we kill that off then we killed that off to get the Lich King back we deal five there one there Brina I’d rather have the 1 1 so let’s attack shame a great comeback I’ve ever seen legendary match ok fine this jungle hi that’s okay that’s not okay come on the weak side okay we fix the turtle okay fixed missed three drop yeah but we fix the other cards my life [Music] [Music] yeah what eyes would have been better [Music] wow that’s ridiculous get to save it with the hero power okay [Music] [Music] I’m running pretty low on cards due to my adventurous Hemet play that’s kind of bad [Music] harvesting servos get ourselves an evolution match [Music] hmm oh that’s a good hit Wow what a top deck okay did you get taunted nope oh my god I had to get really lucky to win on that one but I did [Music] you [Music]

[Hearthstone] Frost Lich Jaina, Your New Goddess

hey guys how’s it going crane here today I’m giving eyes the most amazing highlight I’ve experienced with the new hero cards and it has to do with it Jana so Jana via the Lich pretty strong card it is a little clunky right now because it gets kind of countered by some of the very greedy decks out there but it has some crazy performances against the mid-range and all index and I had a highlight that I just could not believe the power of the card when you get those elementals going there is absolutely no stopping you sort of like you know insane board reset clear or you know otk combos and it’s it’s just such a cool card um there are many powerful cards in the Frozen Throne expansion but I think standalone in a typical situation Jana might take the cake and if you’re not convinced watch the game and I’ll see you guys tomorrow can’t see what’s up with druid I guess it’s pretty well crypt hand for thick like this where do I get a thousand packs I have a million dust you don’t have a million vest me um well the met is still a toss-up I couldn’t tell you what looks good what’s not right now I don’t know excuse me yuan Jun let’s rank 22 catendra is strong back like if he gets c’thun to like 15 15 or much higher which he could I don’t know how I’d ever kill it I have no silence removal so came gotta get it via primordial glyph yeah Wow pretty strong full [Music] DK ginormous plenty of elephants be pictured one oh shit think of going for an extern lethal which you will get okay it’s just so rare that you’d want to use a ramp on turn eight here those who wheel yeah I think if I go for a primordial glyphs into Pali right now I won’t make it I think I have to do this hope to survive another turn after that those c’thun druids are serious bro what nice Cara yeah wait 101 now I haven’t thought about a professor future sidetracking me at 15 might give me the breathing room I need certainly not recommended [Music] if I come I tell most even come by Thomas without the innervate play would have been fine I’m all in on that one if I do it where’s your God now I can witch-king Jane is the new God you’re shivering are you afraid [Music] came where shall I go for days that’s right I’m not losing any of my life game you’re going to 30 and we’re staying there [Applause] we did I can see it’s your rank 22 game give me that fucking star that’s right a game demands two stars [Music] you [Music]

Hearthstone: New Control Warlock – Top 10 Legend!

cool dad [Music] [Music] I was better a warlock boy glad to hear that McMahon think give me the tip I’ll check a real battle of hearthstone went to warlocks face off how long has it been we play one other warlock paper [Music] hmm what else you got I’m torn between trying to get them into our corrupting myths and playing my own millions we’re ahead on minions but we have a lot of removal the getting into if we like put more stuff in instead of just pressuring him to kill our things might have been pretty helpful because then I’m going to get stuck with a lot of stuff that I might not use all at once got how much I missed this deck it’s pretty nice having a lot of cards in your hand most decks like a nun grow you just play your cards fast can and it was like one card left you just hope it’s good card hmm I like the tart creepers here like put down some stuff then I want to smack them in the face when I can my shield for argus what we do there just corrupting this here but I want to keep my Drake alive I want to siphon soul this right it’s too small there’s crafting this this I think is my Drake is like bigger than his in the end [Music] you can use this guy better somehow [Music] [Music] I’m playing around bone there wish I had vote man that turn man I woulda been a great card there I want to get the dreadlord down anyways for the gold Dan later and then just like start softening his guys up so we can may remove it next turn 500 followers until shirtless stream it’s awesome seriously we like mana and doom you’re playing note afore I like crafting this better because we’re facing a lot of fast X and it’s really good against fast X because you can kill all the ridiculous stuff it’s twisting that was a bad card against the control deck is so good it just takes more planning so if we do this it’s gonna take three more quite side of that I’ll shadow bolt I guess that’s that kiddin doom guy spec ops he goes a fire alarm in the building across the street coughs crying shows how frustrating Arundel Meyer I can like Begley here at alarm in a distance so I think they have higher alarm like the other buildings near here What’s Up mo you looking at card opening well we have a lot of luck of ladder where you’re chilling at top 50 legend like the whole day right now our top 25 for the Picard opening a little less luck and in getting golden legendaries or anything like that so like I just want to go right in the cold damn I don’t have cards yet though completely doomsayer probably in the corrupting mist and half the time his soul is mine warlock she happens to file cover earlier give me your life energy looking a little low on life there I said damn I was going to trade them back and forth like he has a seer now he’s not dead I love him to die didn’t go well at all [Music] [Music] give me your soul stop resisting give it to me warlock that soul is mine you cannot damn let’s get really hard to kill her me heels the exact second conference with damage ideal every time we can get any incidental damage like somehow but get a death nightguard healed nor some – we have the Hellfire with some damage more like I said your soul is mine accident solve this oh good so it’s fun to play it’s been really fun to play today no damage hmm run that stuff can’t kill him I’ll fire and then do that six plus six out and out for all of it out [Music] so bloody decisions pressure against – witch-king so I’m going to steal from his giant now I can we set it up to die next turn damn that would have been so good when he didn’t have the when he was like poor Alex that was just killed him Oh but were you Lich King let’s try to steal his soul for so long whoa baby thanking that bro that’s pretty risky thanks true so hard agreed oh the greed what did you do that for so greedy your soul is mine warlock hahahahaha he was so greedy you wanted the Lich King like out of the weapon but come on dude yet so many cards there justice punish him punish him for his greed his dole is mine now new golden woodwind sharp observation so I thought top hundred it’s true I am top I’m good just a just cracking Lich King early until we met mmm yeah I think the Lich King is pretty good I think there definitely be waited to use the Lich King the thing is he’s RNG Riley get to understand about the Lich King he’s good and he’s like basically always good he’s good in random ways and like his Frostmourne wasn’t exactly good for him there was it it depends on the card you get and the cards are so different I think that’s the downside to him if you just like looked at it and said you get one of these and they’re all good cards then it’s always good to craft it so you just got to make sure that you understand he’s an RNG card and that it’s not necessary for your decks to have that you find any opponents my rings – hi who’s president playing with streamers or any tuna the string just played mystery I get Haledon I fight we don’t think we played this guy shall be mine yes remember him fish of a template Joseph’s here okay kinda like it Sarah he’s a lot like you Sarah this cards are different but the like some cards are good in some situations and pretty much always good but it’s also an expensive card the weapon he got Frostmourne is basically always the best one at least in any terms of like value match death coil actually comes out pretty handy I tap they can play giant and with two giants I want that so can’t play anything another coin [Music] they’re exactly finished not doing decklist today but if you watch me play the games go pretty long so to get a good idea of what’s in there oh man it’s gonna be repentant totally repentance isn’t it you got places all notes and to file when I just play giant next turn rises Hellfire but then I don’t trigger the repent him so if I Hellfire I can play no I can’t play voidwalker guy cuz me inside man arrayed oh I knew it was repentance let me get a card back and it was still like five I’m good for I know it was repentance it was a really good play for him there gained a character felling like sun keeper and stuff though it gets also repentant I could play play black or Twilight Drake no way he picked repentance twice right like redemption or something for this guy that one’s not repented okay Lee says my claim that when it’s not repentance damn it he baked into life it’s like well I only think it’s nice shit I’m sure you’d go at least one value see Grail like you already had the first repentance does you really need the second we can’t play Boyd Walker first there because the boy blocker will end up making the giant cost more so unless I play Twilight Drake it’s when we’re gonna happen I just let this go right Carolee can test this – well which I’m – Lance one health anyways well until I go contestant was a shadow gold-tipped anyone like they’re good cards for me play those you had to drag in Tom interesting okay left right well thinking we go at the time but actually I think I’ll go with it well you know there we go at a time [Music] elbow bone mare care we just need to sticks onto the board we hope Peacekeeper this then I can throw in merit just wrong I could bone mare probably just going to siphon that that oh I’m going to have an attempt to like you didn’t do anything to a giant as good sign already running out of answers for big minions and we’re going to build a couple more big minion sports over maybe has like an equality clear every does I want to use that on one guy I’m creating a weapon sure I think he has any card draw like he doesn’t mind run much Carter on deck like that actually it’s good Drake in North next time eating a tabloid Walker bone there neither these guys does the weapon gotta watch out for like the first equality clear he still got that there go who’s with me well I’m see quality clear that was good to be now we go half and grow bone there so all you do is watch the new Hartstein extension I have homework coach so text card I mean but that night started taking his soul away my death my last card we’re going to be in trouble that night damn all right feel like fun keep at airman stuff though he started just hurting them fine likely really good I get to put a lot of damage to him here I’m going to take your soul paladin I’m going to get it eventually but he’s just thinking wow bone marrows a really good card I should put that in my tech you should own mayor should be in all of our decks nobody else was playing it and I really need my dad line you’re just so valid and I’m here to claim it I already played his first quality clear sun keeper is terrible now he needs Technic quality Claire he’s dead probably no ma’am he has a buck that sucks come to me paladin try to use your healing now finding one mountain giant sure just buy like another kind of bigger minion good job which eyes keep y’all face now I said okay late at the end of the game this is fine right I’m going to lose my last card or something but it was my list King still alive okay it has this works come to call he’ll probably kill him right as this has its work if we don’t kill him we just want to dooms there happen because then I get the I get the power card but that’s not good so I can go mortal coil Hellfire Hellfire but then this guy is still there defile Hellfire Hellfire killed my Lich Kings then I can’t hit them in the face the elbows to my getting glitch came to go face but I don’t think it’s possible look drinkin hey doing today creature it’s not possible well like your power you have enough mana the file I’m a liar here a power doesn’t happen the worst economics path nothing but we should see if we get lethal somehow killing him is the best outcome so I’d really like to kill him alright paladin you realize that I’m just going to get rid of those right away again I feels good feels like it he says they’ll feast on my soul I’m the one in charge here thank you very much now let’s doesn’t do anything is when I make cards left so it’s pretty awesome kill them next time with the two Hellfires needs to heal now I’m in charge here I’ll say whose soul is getting stolen Oh God there another heal I think you should faith tank target weaver then because i go those one damage brute [Music] wait [Music] that kind of cleared crazy winrate yeah we’re doing really good today before like went a lot better once we put the bone marrows in I’d have to say the bone marriage has been so good and I look forward to using that and a bunch of other classes too it’s like definitely my type of card where it’s just honest kind of battle where you get a ton of stat like win with your stats and your taunts and stuff stop the aggro guy and it’s good against control really like that card I’ll be live I am your nightmare okay long as I tap the next two turns next up like a giant thanks I see we’ve been listening to some ambience from world of warcraft click the background sound control oil X showdown the ladder is going to turn to all control warlock [Music] because I’d be okay with that we quite a change if we went from like a grid grid art where to control where lack will be shit I’ve been encrypting that do me fair Wow the balls I can totally kill that everyone do this probably put the shadow bolts so I can tap actually instead of mortal coil I trade this but I want the divine shield ray [Music] bane of doom hello babies all right well I can get I need an answer the double Giant fury kick your butt what are you gonna do bane of doom actually get good stuff did you cover the Twilight drinks no now we played around with it a lot of times now what Lex a really thoughtful class to where you’re trying to like balance your life total compared to controlling the board the style is just so good there’s no way the files not like one of the best cards are printed for killing I grow because it’s arcane explosion on steroids as infinite scaling potential into mana one of the only times we’ve seen like a scaling removal and I think that’s really cool because normally the Hopi shit is like scaling aggro things and finally we get a scaling removal and you can like actually not have to play aggro every time she’s mana good couple giant fresh dry and doing a 5/5 bills – every time you play a friendly minion many forgot about it and he went to where like that night he killed himself was a good point as well active night sounds minions for that wonder if it counts when it summons that minion

[Hearthstone] Kripp’s Top 10 Frozen Throne Cards

hey guys how’s it going cranium so I thought a lot about what I want to do for you guys in terms of summarizing what the good cards are in the upcoming Knights of the Frozen Throne expansion and I think that rather than re reviewing all of them now that we have more information from seeing all the cards and knowing how kind of the class archetype will work out like what classes have more options for powerful combos or powerful decks and all that what kind of cars is really high power level that we have to acknowledge will likely be in a lot of decks and you know we can get a slightly better picture but I thought instead I just give you a list top ten most powerful cards the most relevant meta cards I believe we will see from the upcoming expansion now I have a little bit of an asterisk so I think some of these cards might take a little bit to see play it might even be in the you know expansion after this I think some of the cards that were implemented in this expansion are very powerful aggro cards but there are a lot of control cards so one would think that was or just kind of figure out a way for control to take over with just enough healing taunt measures and all that so you know maybe Agra will be a thing but it doesn’t mean the Agra cards we got in this expansion aren’t ridiculous so let’s kick it off here number 10 on my list is actually the Lich King so some people think this is just the best card in the set and you know it could be but you have to keep in mind that this card is really only going to see play in a slow deck so if you’re playing a mid-range deck often enough you’re going to have at least one or two big cards you’re going to pick over it now with the launch of hero cards there are just heavier cards in this one and most mid-range decks rely on the very few but extremely powerful late-game cards so basically King might be an auto including every single control deck but we have seen some of the easiest control cards we’ve ever seen hearthstone history in the upcoming expansion so while I think the Lich King is way above the power level of previous late-game cards in general it is actually competing with a lot of spots at least for non control decks and yeah you are going to see it quite a bit in control decks that’s why it’s 10th on the list a very powerful card we have corpse taker so this card just looks really good and if you really think about it it just is really good like if you’re playing paladin and you got a the burned bristle whatever his name is wicker flame this is going to be a 4 mana divine shield taunt lifesteal just if you have one of those in your deck that’s just ridiculous I don’t know if you guys have tried it but if you just play divine shield taunt minions in your deck it actually does a really good job stopping most aggro it’s just there’s usually slightly better ways to do it but this is a much better way to do it and it’s in that same Department so I think we are going to see a lot of corpse takers especially in the mid range and control decks maybe even in the aggregate decks honestly then I have skalamander I think I have praised this card more than anyone else people seem to doubt its power I don’t doubt its power I think this is the single biggest board cleared deny card we have ever seen and I think it’s stata dwell enough that we’ll see play so I think if you’re running unaggressive – on aggro like an aggressive maybe a zoo deck and you’re up against the control deck usually turn 5 6 7 is when board clears start dropping on your board and you know you start losing and you need chargers and burst and all that kind of crap well if you have a pretty good board and on turn 5 you play this your opponent I would say it’s a mage he cannot Blizzard you because he’s probably just going to die it does really well against doomsayer I think we’re going to see a decent number of doom there’s even though yeah priest has a number of counters for this potion of madness doesn’t really punish it that hard I mean yeah it punishes pretty hard but not as bad as you think because the priest doesn’t get your 8/8 may just be able to five drops again pretty strong but still the main weakness is the priest and it’s not like you’re going to lose the game if it gets potion amends much like other cards with similar effects from the past if you can have any kind of taunt activator if you’re using like the bone mayor if you’re using a spiked Ridge steed like imagine you speed this play this your parents just going to leave it play speed on it for eight taunt and when it dies you get an eight eight and two six thought to protect the eight eight like it’s just absolutely crazy crazy amount of stats for the mana and that’s why I think it will see some play the main answer for this is silence removal but from what I have seen it seems like silence removal is the main counter to priests so there’s a lot of sounds removal going on you know maybe it’s actually still okay to play this because you’re not going to run up against that many priests which are going to have slightly more efficient counters against you then I have the shaman hero card for all deaths here it may not look like you know the craziest card ever but it’s a five cost hero card with a really powerful effect so if you play a four drop and your four drop attacks something let’s see if I can injured four drop you play this it upgrades it to a six drop on turn five and then your hero power just pushes the board constantly it gives you armor which lets you use weapons more in the mid-range deck without having to run healing it’s just a really really high power card and I think it fits into possibly even fairly aggressive shaman decks certainly in mid-range certainly in control it’s just I mean this card the only way this card density play is if shaman says no play and I have to think that won’t happen then we have a despicable dread lord cost four five demon the one damage to all enemy minions at the end of turn I think this card I think people people saw this or like yeah that’s a good card and then just moved along I think it’s worth taking a second look I think this card is a lot stronger than the first look would suggest it denies so many plays from your opponent you know the the end of turn effect happening again and again and again is just it’s just ridiculous against fast decks and it’s a pretty strong mid-range card it carries its own so demon which works with the the new warlock hero and a few other options as well it’s just it’s just ridiculous then we have dead man’s hand in number five so I’ve been a backer this card for a while I know a lot of people haven’t shown it much support but it I think it is the single card that enables control warrior once again and I’m I’m Toland firm on that I think even even like the the warrior hero card I only has a good control warrior card but we’re going to have at least a few control decks working out and control order being able to go incident and keep in mind J druid has a counter now so you know seems like this might be the absolute top dog of control it’s possible and I think that demands some recognition now we have the new one drop on cop21 and it gives a friendly minion +1 attack permanently it’s kind of like what abusive sergeant kind of was in the past and yeah Jesus art is a ridiculous card so this is a ridiculous card and you know there’s some chance a growing zoo might be completely dead in the upcoming expansion I highly doubt that but whenever an aggressive or zoo deck pops up in the meta once again I have a strong feeling this is going to be part of those lists number three is the Warlock hero card I think this covers what control warlock decks were missing all of this time it the hero power that you get deals three and heals you for three so much single target removal so much constant healing exactly what control warlocks were missing they had the big board clears they had the efficient giant plays and all that this is the only thing they were missing and they got it so I have a really strong feeling that warlock is going to do very well and I think this card is going to take them pretty far number two is defile one damage to all minions and if any die cast is again so I thought this card was pretty good I mean it’s obviously pretty good but when we saw in a few of the demos considering some of the cards that people are playing even control decks are playing a lot of cards that just you know that they have to die like two or three times to follow just ridiculous at removing them and it’s it’s better I feel than most other removal options and even warlocks previously had so that’s saying a lot warlocks had amazing early to mid-game board clears and this is better than the past so think control warlock is going to be a thing but we’ll see number one you’re ready for it it’s a one drop yep righteous protector this car is just obviously bonkers I talked about it I think it’s the car that annoyed me the most because it’s clearly a card that’s way above its power level in the one drop slot so I think this card is going to supply in every single aggro pally as long as it’s in standard it’s going to see play and every single mid-range power lead every single buff pally in every single control palette even it’s possible right like it’s so insane even if you’re playing like a combo oriented paladin deck dropping this and then using whatever to turn set up combo that you might need might actually get it to work for a one cost card that’s also insane against every other deck because you can play it on turn one it’s card it is crazy there’s there’s really not much to say about it overall this expansion while my list has 10 it really took me a long time to get down to that I think there are easily 25 extremely powerful cards certainly so I’m not on this list and I think more than any other expansion I’ve mentioned before there are an unbelievably high number of high potential cards cards that could be amazing could not be amazing and those cards I feel are what really make the game fun for me I get to test them out there’s so many things to test try experiment and try to push out some crazy decks out there more so than any other expansion we’ve seen before and that’s pretty exciting any other game might stay fresh for more than typical two to three week period maybe we might get more than a month out of this expansion and I can’t wait to try it out let me know what you think share your excitement the expansion and let me know what card do you think I may have missed on the top [Music]

[Hearthstone] The New Frozen Throne Deck Recipes

hey guys how’s it going brain here today we give you guys my first look through the new deck recipes the other day when the Frozen Throne patch went through before the expansion was released but the patch went through it had the new deck recipes we can kind of see what Blizzard was promoting cuz a lot of the players who pick up parts on pick it up during this time and they pick it up using the advice they see into the game and the advice is seeing the game has a certain direction or flow to it it can be a pretty important deal to them and I find it pretty interesting to see what kind of deck recipes Blizzard comes up with traditionally about half of them have been quite good and half well not so good and this time around it’s very similar but I thought it was a bit more interesting probably led on by the fact that the cards themselves from the upcoming expansion are overall more interesting than in the past we have very few dull cards we have very few cards that are clearly underpowered and most cards are in that range where they might just be really good but you know you have to you have to try that you have to test them you have to see how well you can synergize them with other cards and yeah having an overlooked for the first time it’s an interesting experience and I wanted to share with you guys that today so enjoy it and I’ll see you guys tomorrow no pain no gain well I don’t have to look at the deck list because it’s a warrior hero card deck oh come on come on I mean seriously this is the worst card in the expansion so let’s say you have this and then and then you play this and it’s like wow combo wombo four mana 5/3 wow that’s really good whoa why not try Yeti it’s free after all what else we got overload giants Robbie oh wow that’s that’s pretty good synergy if you can play a bunch of giants and then freeze them if you can replay them what’s Banshee if you can replay the mill full cost of zero xers pretty good avalanche two freezes ice breaker is I mean this tech might be terrible but we have no idea it’s so different I want to try this this looks like a fun deck that’s a pretty good curve too I have a feeling this is a strong curve the defenders a good card it maybe it’s not a maybe it’s not a really good card but it’s a good card I think if you stick this in any shaman deck in the next expansion you’re not going to regret it so that’s just fine if you think this card sucks aggro is still going to exist hi Sean deck is potentially quite good well I’m in like it what do we got the sauce valera slayer bone baron okay orifice yep how many death threats are there yeah one two three four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen thirteen so roll the bones is draw 1.4 cards for two I think that’s still worse than novice engineer yeah some of these cards just really low power level and that’s one of them alright when we got here Arjun Squire Arjun Squire 2.00 bench is the for cost five five that you discard cards so that cards good to any time but that’s going to be a really good arena card by the way that Banshee card is better than yet in arena hundred percent one hundred percent no doubt about it that card is going to be like an eighty point arena card man she’s great and constructed obviously sucks but constructed is about overpowered shit synergizing with other overpowered shit so that’s different conversion hydrologist wow that’s a really aggressive curve I was going to talk the deck but actually with a curve like that it can probably cycle through very well I think this is probably a more powerful deck than I realize no hero I think it’s fine so aggressive think bomb is pretty good Elway they get to deck recipes wait do all of them get to that recipes oh so one recipe is like mostly the previous expansion and one is like the new new expansion yeah that’s how it is but the hunter one is very different like it’s missing seven cards okay it’s probably been orifice oh it’s a beast and if you could stitch the track or our fists very good so there’s actually very few minions in this deck it’s running a shitload of traps so I think the idea is that you get cloaked Huntress to have insane value with secret keeper and you can get a stack on when you’re cloaked huntresses because you have few minions and you could get it would stitch the tracker future sides pretty good I think it’s Beck’s luck but it looks really interesting I probably give this a go the eternal hunt the sauce well it’s pretty bad with high main it’s fine with that wait how does how does that gain attack what what is that supposed to pull validated doomsayer for mana 7/7 the egg huh okay all right it’s very different I can’t say it’s bad without trying it Hydra knocks Lich King no Furion and we basically saw this deck in their card reveal demo there’s same decent it’s like if you play the deck right now it’s obviously insane but it’s going to be up against really strong control deck all the classes are getting rid of strong control decks will you discard from Oh yeah I don’t know about that go own the mayor meat wagon bone man is pretty good down there on Devil’s Touareg is really good that’s three week that’s good oh man this is like a really cheap deck this is going to be a scary deck surprisingly they don’t have a control or lock deck Center the fire and ice and it’s basically what I said those cards really good elementals but like six cards from this expansion I don’t see how it keeps up with the incoming new decks so I think that’s probably too weak cool this one is missing ten oh wow yeah this is very strong probably want to try that myself shadow Reapers revenge so what do you play circle healings those things you got the two radiance you got Lyra oh yeah that’s basically what I imagined this would be wait what well if you have if you have shadow Reaper in play okay if you take this deck and turn it into one with Raza to make your hero power zero I actually think it’s a good deck so if you play villain and then play that your hero power is dealing 8/8 that’s like you play to zero cost spells and hit your opponent for 24 that’s not bad I told you guys that card might see some play you can quote me on that all right so like you know half of those vectors shit but you know wizard made them so that means nothing um but almost all of those X are really interesting almost all those X are awesome you’re gonna have a lot of fun in suspension [Music]

[Hearthstone] The Big Problems In Hearthstone

hey guys how’s it go Cooper in here today I wanna give you guys a bit of an American rant I want to talk about the big issues that Hertz tone is experiencing I think on one hand is just very important to be constantly vocal about these things I know some people might perceive it as complaining and this and that but this is a game that we really loved playing for years and years and I feel many different aspects of it are going downhill all the time and I think being vocal about this stuff creating the conversation is important to at least creating a slightly better situation in a Hertz tone so the first thing I want to bring up I do have a little bit more perspective and knowledge on the subject from the last few weeks of my experiences playing on goro but of course the first main problem headstone is rng rng is a very large problem and it has many different aspects that are worth talking about so one thing to really understand is that in card games orangy just naturally occurs you have a deck with cards you draw them randomly and often when you run out of cards just getting very specific ones that are specific times when you really need them make them break certain game so even if you had a card game with no RNG cards or effect whatsoever in any case you’re still going to have decks that are never going to go a hundred percent you’re still going to have players that are never going to be able to win a hundred percent just because it’s a card game card games just naturally have RNG heard stone design philosophy is that they want to have in addition to that cards with RNG so not only is it the aspect of normal randomness of card games but also that games feel generally different and over the years we’ve seen more and more cards with random effects introduced into the game and I think we’ve actually reached kind of like a problem state so in arena right now we have mage we have array we have paladin and then no one else really wins very much at all in my recent arena stats I have zero or one loss against all the other classes in the last few weeks except for priest because priest does a really good job of killing slow decks and a really crappy job of killing fast decks but you know it’s kind of like polarized and the other the top three classes are just crazy dominant and even though through classes even with priests are heavily controlled by random cards and there’s a lot of issues with this the main the core of the problem comes from the fact that many almost all in fact cards are the random effects have an average random effect that puts the card on a higher power level of like cards so you know we always talk about like shredder versus Yeti in the old time but you know it’s much more expensive than that we have cards that generate random mage spells like one man or one ones or spells from your opponent I guess instead of you know one mana to ones or one man or one threes and the average result of that is just really crazy when you when you evaluate the weight of such a card in the late game it gets even more than that like with primordial glyphs such an insane card right you go from yeah you put primordial glyphs in your deck and the result of that is playing it on turn to your opponent can start to expect one man aboard clears you have to play around a five mana flamestrike let’s play around a format and meteor it’s literally impossible to play around this stuff and that’s the core of the problem core the problem is that hurts them being a strategy game in the very traditional strategy game when you lose you want to have an experience where you learn why you lost either you you know you learn a new type of strategy your opponent used or you gain more knowledge of how to avoid the perils of you know the last experience that you had with your loss it becomes tiresome has become a game where the affects just control all of that so you know if you lose because your opponent had a four cost media from primordial glyph that’s just nothing you just lose right the next time you get primordial glyphs are you going to play around for cost media no you can’t the odds are that you shouldn’t play around any one spell but then your opponent might have the one spell in any given scenario later on in the game and it costing two mana on top of everything else just means that you’re totally shit out of luck and it’s very similar with rogue card generation it’s very similar with paladin card generation larger the discovers and similarly with priests as well I was actually ranting about this topic the other day on stream and as I was talking about it we had priests play a card with a random effect a very impactful random effect seven consecutive turns so you know like how good your deck is matters a lot in arena how good you are as a player seems to matter a lot in arena but you know all all the losses are just bullshit RNG you don’t learn anything from them and more importantly than that it creates a net negative experience because rng has become the norm for hurts down it’s so rare that RNG will create a memorable positive experience however when you lose to rng you get a memorable negative experience and the ratio is not even close to 1 to 1 so the fact that RNG cards exist in the game on average creates a negative experience for the players that play hurts them and I think that is basically all the proof anyone should need to know that there is too much rng in hurts them it just dictates everything and it’s ridiculous and having played hurts them for such a long time and knowing about so many different aspects just throwing all that stuff in the garbage because everyone needs to play random cards because random cards on average have the most powerful effects and random cards basically eliminate all that knowledge and experience from like any relevance and yeah the outcome of the ramus effects just seems to dictate the outcome of almost every game that you play and that’s crap you know especially considering that it is by nature a random game as it is a card game so yeah that is a bit of the issue one more thing that I learned playing his last few days is that random cards are actually the simplest ones to understand I always thought about why it takes less and less time for people to figure out which cards are good useful good in certain situations figuring out the matter all that kind of stuff I’m going has been you know pretty good I mean we’re about a month in and we still have like the rare deck coming up that’s actually pretty strong and that’s pretty nice but still that’s going to be about it you know we have like a 1 month in the best case scenario constructed cycle out of a four month cycle so like right now the metagaming constructed is pretty good there’s a lot of decks and stuff but you know in two months it’s going to be the same thing and four months going to be the same thing and you’re going to be really sick of it don’t believe me just reflect on what happened in the mean streets of gadgets had a few weeks in I was pretty bored of it and people after about a month started realizing the exact same thing and when we all were on like the fourth month of mean streets of gadgets and people thought the game was in the worst state had ever been a large part of this is what one-hand Blizzard really forces archetypes and sin urges and all that but these cards are the reds of effects there’s actually very little thought and insightfulness about these cards and take a card like babbling book on you just kind of way the average spell and that’s it you know how good the card is it’s obviously good you put it in every deck there’s not much in terms of combos there’s not much in terms of strategy you just know these cards are good because it’s so easy to understand the value of a random effect which really kind of cheapens the game we have more cards of random effects that are being played particularly in arena than ever before the top of arena is really screwed up as a result you know in the past we talked about how bad like warrior is an arena how bad is other class an arena is but really it’s how weld top classes perform and have fun it is to play against them and right now it’s really not that fun at all to play against them and a lot of problems come from that the other aspect that I have touched upon in the past that is actually tied to this because I think the main way that you overcome just too much randomness too much of the same thing that the scale state of the game is just by changing cards up changing formats up I think what wizard really could do is just constantly change cards from the base and classic sized cards that a lot of people have just bust them nerf them every few weeks just constantly do it to keep the meta fresh in arena and and constructed you know I don’t know if they’ll ever come around doing something like that but if if you don’t do it specifically on those if you’re just changing other cards or if you’re pumping up more and more cards which seems to be part of the strategy right now it has the other it touches upon the other really big problem in hearthstone and that is the cost associated with it so you know they up the price of packs they made us there’s more legendaries that you can possibly get and they made it so you need to actually have legendaries it’s almost every deck these they they me aggressive decks use legendaries and again that’s a real problem for people who don’t have that much or any money to spend on the game and they’re coming up with no more adventures it’s going to be just packed expansions and they’re coming out with more pack expansion like the overall expansion rate is slightly higher just everything everything everything seems to screw over people who try to play the game on a low or a zero budget and you know that might just be how things are but having played a lot of the other card games out there that is just not even close to how things are in other card games I really think hurts them needs to take a serious look on this and it really it really brought this to light when I saw a poll regarding the statistics of the last heroic brawl so the last heroic brawl is the wild tavern brawl and these heroic brawls cost 1000 gold to enter which is absolutely ridiculous if you ask me the only way you get a thousand gold back because if you get twelve wins that’s it would you like yeah but kripp you know you have to count the number of packs that you get in terms of well yeah if you do that you basically break even playing arena at like two or three win you know give me a break that’s not how you do that at all the the hero tavern brawl is just ridiculous people wants to play these things people want to explore hearthstone but they are literally prohibited by cost this is the Paul I was talking about you have to keep in mind that this poll was done for reddit users and you have to think that people who visit the hearthstone reddit actively are probably more informed and better than the average player because they are more informed so even with that audience which you would imagine would play a competitive format 60% goes legally ignored it 24% didn’t play it watched a ton who cares right six percent it was awful and 2% at the end it was okay and the good ones 3% it was great 3% it was absolutely amazing and you know if you’re like the optimist you’re like hey look at that some people really enjoyed it maybe some people just didn’t have the cards to play but you really have to think about hearthstone in in in its core there’s sort of a very high variance game where someone who’s really bad can just go in tournament style format and just win by chance if you’re below average player you’re still going to beat a good player 30% of the time 40% of time you move 20% of the time if you stack that up against you know six or seven consecutive games people who don’t think they’re very good at hurt stone might try heroic tavern brawl and get like ten wins because they just got really lucky because that should tell her that works to go to this polls like yeah it was great so basically what this tells me is the few people that got really really lucky and did like couple abroad at best just we’re really happy with the results of doctor tavern brawl was good basically what I’m saying is nobody thinks this tavern brawl is good nobody people people are interested in it they’re watching people play but they do not want to participate you’re the reason that could be is because it costs too much whoever is in charge a blizzard of trying to balance the value and the entertainment and the pleasure people get for playing the game versus how much they should spend in terms of time and money to play the game is really failing like big-time and this is a big problem because the main way that you actually fix a lot of the other problems in her system as I talked about is by changing up and introducing new content and it seemed to be kind of missed a mark with all of those things so yeah if there’s been a good game yeah it’s a pretty good game well sir it’s not a better game in the past yeah I think so I think arena right now is in quite a lot of trouble I think arena still okay I had a lot more fun playing arena in the first month of the expansion the amount of time you have playing the first month of anything is just outstanding her soon when the expansion comes out it’s the best game ever I lose sleep being excited to play the game I mean that is crazy right and then you know six weeks go by and it’s just okay and it’s nothing special so her stone needs to create more of those scenarios where people are excited to try new things because actually new things to try and they need to do that while it doesn’t cost them more and more and more and more so yeah let me know you think I think I’ve laid out all the issues hit and hurt stone at least in the last little while so hopefully you guys can comment on it and maybe add a bit – it kept you guys enjoyed my rant [Music]

[Hearthstone] Joke-Warrior Is No Joke!

you guys have a going crane here today I want to give you guys a video about arena warriors now I know that it’s at like the end of an expansion but I think the general lesson here is actually a very valuable one so we know that in this expansion in journey to an Goro Warrior has been sporting about a 30% win rate in arena which rivals the all-time lowest priest think a couple expansions ago where it was like the only time any class ever dipped below 30 now it’s like yeah whatever you still a warrior well some of us like to have a little bit of fun and in the exploration stages trying to learn these classes and try to do well with them I actually was struggling with warrior even at times a warrior has been really bad in the past like TGT bolster times you know holy crap was that bad for warrior I still had like you know six seven one average of warriors yeah I was bad but it wasn’t like a disaster well my results when I actually try to do well with warrior were a disaster in this expansion we’re talking like or maybe a little bit higher than that average wind plain warrior the whole expansion no actually trying to do well with the class well now we have this like three week period where you have 3 arena runs and you actually incentivize to play the free during runs because you get packs from the upcoming expansion and because I really don’t care about winning or losing I want to play stuff I won’t normally play so well it turns out that’s when I play warrior so I played a lot of warrior lately and when I play worries in this because I care about doing well I just pick like dumb face cards extremely high variance decks because well not like warrior is going to beat up most decks toe-to-toe and lo and behold I’m averaging like seven wins with warrior somehow so the lesson here is when you have a class of extremely bad in arena you can still play it but you have to play and draft very differently you basically have to increase the amount of variants the deck of capable of if you want to do anything at all you have to keep in mind like just how bad some classes are in arena sometimes it’s not like constructor it’s not like well this class only has a 44% deer for nobody plays it noted in arena some classes have a 30% min rate while others have like a 60% win rate but it’s not like you have you know twice the win rate I mean it is if you just compare those numbers but in reality it’s not that at all it’s you have majors that can actually win at 7 wins against other good decks and you have warriors that can’t win at 2 wins against bad decks so like for you to have a 30% like average across all of our ena with a class that class is absolute shit so you really have to take that into consideration if you want to play it and roll the big dice if you want any results whatsoever enjoy the clips today it’s going to be basically how I made it work in this expansion and maybe it’ll guide you and how you can make it work in the next there’s only one real way to play Garrosh it’s a smart way that does not smart oh I guess it gets through a ton this way fine I like to play she’ll shark to buy you an extra turn best hero all right unlikely we’ll have an empty hand still looking for actual weapons I guess that’ll do for now extra damage think I’ll take the taunt taunt Buster rule actually Eggman for probably hits for three anyway – at worst that’s kind of a weapon sure I was probably won me a game or two Oh another game or two looks on that looks like I’m at like three wins now do I need fours oh that’s a good one that’s terrible mmm see my list fledgling egg Napper River croc kinder it was pretty good you can go zoo bye there we go oh yeah all right this is actually shaping up to be a pretty damn good deck well for a joke face warrior you know all things and all things considered I have a lot of two drops and keep that it’s really good if I get an exhaust first mate basically if a class has a 30% win rate it means that it can’t even be beat bad players with bad decks can’t do it not even good enough for that oh man I’m not saving it it’s warlocks NES a bad opener we have to just play max tempo every turn pretend like the next turn doesn’t matter like standard all over again yes this is really strong though okay all right well now board clears don’t work and I don’t see how he’s going to play it taut big enough to survive and I guess sports there’s work not well enough though try blizzard said it only benign hero cards could be like a neutral Arthas sounds good to me but yeah I don’t I don’t know about that if I said it instead of publicly so someone else can answer your question I don’t have any inside info on that whatsoever I’d also like to point out that if I had insight info I wouldn’t really be able to share that I’m flying this because it uh it’s a little bit harder to kill like five burst on three is really hard and if I get this bust up and then play a fledgling he might use removal on the frothing instead of the fledgling like a double threat no flapping no flappy all right I’m going to play this and I need to kill one of those because I don’t want to I want to get rekt here just have to think do I want them both at three health I don’t think so I try face it’s not not face yet I can’t kill both of them there’s a good chance I can play that into a taunt and get like the extra attack value so best three hold on second Oh [Music] the maximum temperature oh shit I might be a zero cost reference its civil bros just a free apply version of the Abdallah club yes also welcome new five dollar club efendi’s okay we have lots of twos and threes so not have that many ones you want to keep all the ones for sure that’s a really bad hand nose warrior s3 and zero warrior is a little bit different than the typical warrior but you can say about the true death knight any ideas what that might be they’ve come up with some crazy stuff so crazy stuff we have to be something completely different than the other heroes and it would be something marginally outside the existing game mechanics all right here’s an idea what if it was like absolutely bullshit overpowered but every turn you lost the mana crystal instead of gained one leaked actually like this I don’t need armor don’t face column actually counters worrier now column can I get the tempo of that is turn which is actually relevant because I have execute and cliff leaked if I guess it would be purely chance so no way can get any trouble and there’s some chance I won’t play the Reaper so I think I’ll save the weapon hit here nice little glass yeah I think next turn there’s there’s no chance that but I don’t do that look taro gar you can’t even say Mork I I’m pretty sure it was really bad but I guess he was dead anyway you can’t put technicals firms overall magic in go and second again no at first and last one I have to draft arena for more classes I’m thinking of doing that for the remaining classes once they become relevant like how to draft warrior is not useful to learn how to dress classes that are basically subpar I get that to damage back on the frothing Valley so um explain those misplace can be costly like right now if he has flame strike I’m going to be one day image awfully huh yeah nice try I have lots of two drops I can probably bank on getting one again it’s hopefully better and Mulligan increases my chance of a one yeah I’m checking it you’re also six and two unaware you want to beat me to 12 sounds like a fun game obviously never happened I mean that assumes that even just one of us will get to 12 wins oh well stealth is on the menu how do we go for one of those yeah design Gazette always get and rip tentacle from our fair basically to Sarah right now [Music]

[Hearthstone] Knights of the Frozen Throne Review 5

hey guys how’s it going Corinne here coming at you with review number five of the upcoming expansions cards nice of the Frozen Throne is launching on the 10th that’s really soon and actually realized how many cards I hadn’t reviewed on YouTube I review them every night on stream when I start up at 11:00 EST and you know I kind of just forget sometimes that I’m behind like I don’t like 30 cards or something and we’re going to get like 50 some more in a couple of days there’s going to be lots of card reviewing which is good because right now the current state of hearthstone is well kind of played out anyway kicking it off we have the shaman death knight card through all the deaths here cost 5 which is really the most striking thing in terms of the hero cards it is the cheapest that we’ve seen and it transforms your minions I ran and one of the cost – more so like a double evolution effect not as good as double evolution because double evolving you can often get use out of charging minions in the intermediary between the first and second evolve but it’s pretty close and you get five health so like double evolve and five health for five that worth it yeah I think it is so I think just by itself is a good card and you have to keep in mind that with every death night hero card you also change your hero power and in this case it becomes transmute spirit and you basically get two single target evolve something this is a really big deal of course it’s going to have some extremely high variance games constructed is okay with high variance games though I mean typically most of the decks out there that do well are extremely high variance the reasons good is if you have a medium to big minion you hit something it’s an injured medium to big minion when you transform it you essentially heal it up into a bigger minions even though you might not get a more powerful minion it’ll be more powerful eventually because we’ll keep going up and up and up in meta cost and each time it does that it’s getting healed so I would say this is approximately at least a slightly better priests hero power so overall it’s a very solid your card tomb lurker five four five three absolutely abysmal stats this is like bad for three man orthostats and as a detriment died this game to your hand so it’s a random death rattle it’s not discovered or anything so it can be really bad like if there’s aggressive decks playing and aggressive decks running death rattle minions you typically are it can really screw over your strategy even though you might design a deck around this card it just might not work it just seems like it cost too much but who knows if the only people running death around other control decks and you’re playing a control deck rolling around this card I imagine it’s pretty damn powerful it just seems very situational righteous protector and this is probably the card that I think annoys me the most out of the upcoming expansion so Arjun Squires basically a neutral version doesn’t have taught and that have seen play and every medicines the game came out it’s an extremely powerful one drops and extremely powerful one drops basically ruin the game so this is an extremely powerful one drop on top of the existing extremely powerful one drops so it’s just a mind-blowing ly insane game swinging early game card for paladin basically this is what they needed to have the divine shield swarm aggro minion deck work so just because this card I imagine that type of work this cards obviously insane I think it will be playing a lot of decks the only kind of like good thing I guess it kind of ruins the Stonehill defender discover options because there’s another taunt paladin class card discovered getting 400 percent boost you’re not going to see as many Tyrians and ship but you’re still going to see a lot and this card honestly is is so good for tempo on one you’re not even going to feel bad when you see it as one of your options with discovers rune forge hunter for cost 5/3 during your turn your weapon doesn’t lose durability yeah it’s just it just feels like it’s not powerful enough it’s obviously some weapons that you might want to just extend the turn or two but as long as it exists cards like these are just not going to be great they might be good but they’re never going to be great corpse raiser 5 cost for a 3/3 the battle card gives a friendly minion death travel brief some in this as a really powerful effect some people said it’s worse than ancestral spirit just be shaman to cast spell the same effect and I buy that I think it is likely worse than that but you have to keep in mind that was a shaman only card and shaman revival mechanics or overall pretty weak digit just kind of hard to make them work given the class relies so much on board control you go all-in on the menu a death penalty and just give Texas over right so I think there’s probably some potential for this card to work really well in other classes and other just crazy combo decks and you also have to keep in mind that with ancestral spirit it’s just like a totally dead card if you’re in top deck mode it’s really bad if you don’t get be specific card you’re looking for because it doesn’t have any value by itself this is still a 3/3 body which I would say if I obviously not strong but it’s not irrelevant okay so card for card even if this is about a dozen trigger if you’re playing like a major in arena it will trade with most for drops with your hero power it’s that’s big advantage over ancestral spirit and I think in terms at least at arena it’ll actually be a more powerful card corpse Widow five or six beast your debt rental cards cost too less this is a really powerful card you can do this and then play a form and a high main basically the way I have to look at it is if you have detrimental in your deck anyway you might consider playing this card if you think your deck should excel in the mid to late game now as a hunter you generally want to excel in the early the mid game which is the only complication of this card but you really have to think of the advantages so if you’re playing just one death-rattle card so this and one deathrattle card while this effect is happening and you can probably do it on the same turn it pretty easily I imagine so that’s basically like a three cost for six beast which is crazy so it’s a crazy card if you can play that style of a hunter but time will tell that devourer mind copy three cards in your opponent’s deck and add them to your hand so it’s like pasta plus one it’s in line with card drama Kanaks the way card draw is valued on cards is the first card that you draw is worth one mana every card after that is worth two mana that’s why you have like cycle effects are like nothing and then arcane collected like one plus two and a nurse is plus another two then sprint plus another two so this is kind of like the nourish just as arcane intellect this pot steal devourer mind is nourished so it’s it’s good it’s fine usually when you’re playing thoughtful as a priest it is fairly late in the game anyway so getting even more value out of it I imagine would actually be even better in some cases so I imagine this card probably see some play at some point glacial mysteries it cost mage spell put one of each secret from your deck into the battlefield now the issue that I have with this card is it costs a lot for what it does in the end so for this card to be really powerful you need to be playing at least five decent secrets for mage that’s where the problem is a lot of Secrets cancel each other out like you know you have you have like copy effects and potion of polymorph but they’re both nullified by your opponent playing a bad minion there’s a lot of just clunkiness and do you really want these supers in your deck normally it’s not exactly secret paladin you’re playing a very different type of deck if you’re including this it’s obviously you know if you pull five cards and play them all it’s in the same value but because there’s so much cancellation and because a lot of the mage secrets just absolutely blow this is probably a little bit worse than it looks but who knows a few good secrets and this card is suddenly the meta right we’ll see in the future but for now I’m not so sure simulacrum 3 cos mage spell copy lowest-cost minion in your hand so this card becomes a copy of the minion I imagine that’s okay I think in terms of like otk combos and some cool stuff like that that is something that you can do it’s just a little clunky and obviously built only for that reason villian boss Lilian boss sorry at the rogue legendary minion for cost for five decent stats replaced bells in a hand with random spells from your opponent’s class so this is obviously a really bad card when when you consider the current and past versions of rogue decks that basically rely on having very specific spells to burst the opponent before running out of cards and health which adds a rogue usually happens faster than you’d expect so obviously this is a really powerful card it just has no place in any type of rogue deck that we’ve ever seen but doesn’t mean it’s not going to see any play with each expansion there’s a lot of potential for new decks to rise and cards like these might make that happen I have my doubts but it is not a bad card by itself like this is a great arena card standalone it’s pretty good but yeah it might screw over your combos and that would make a terrible constructed card but you know if you can design a deck that can do relatively well just by itself you don’t happen to draw this card would like rose petals and shit but then you do draw this card you make your rose petals into like actual cards and get out of control yeah it’s okay you know that’s okay I have my doubts though unwilling sacrifice three cost warlocks spell choose a friendly minion destroy it and a random enemy minion so it’s like deadly shot – but sometimes it’s good to destroy friendly minions just very rarely yeah yeah I don’t know it seems pretty bad burlock – cost 2 – battle cry freeze enemy warlock alright I guess I mean some constructive ex played the Glacial elemental whatever it is and that’s I’m just slightly better car than this you have to weigh the fact that merlok tags are really big and the merlok wind condition is getting more minions than your opponent and this effect helps you much more than it does as an elemental deck so it’s okay I think I think this might be good I just kind of think the whole monologue shaman thing as a whole is kind of dead but we still have a bunch of cards to see so maybe not treachery 3 cost user friendly mean and give it to your opponent so I have been waiting for an effect like this since since we started talking about custom cards like three years ago this is a really cool effect the is a few issues here though so the main issue is it’s a control effect you don’t you’re not going to place in an aggregate I can play this in the mid-range attack you’re going to play this in a control deck and it’s sadly balanced around dooms there so you play dooms there you give it to your opponent it goes off before he can do anything and that’s a 5-man of two card clear any board that you want and that’s a really good combo right but I couldn’t actually think of any other card this would be great with given the card and mana investment of those plays so basically the sad case is because doom seer is a thing and this card is not worded to exclude dooms there it’s otherwise really terrible so I don’t know might see some play but I think control warlock still needs more help than we’ve seen so far from this expansion and we have the rogue death knight 9 cost 5 armor battle crown gives stealth until your next turn that’s a pretty big deal so you can’t be targeted when you have stealth of course you can still get hit with like AoE damage effects now if you even even get like one health gaining the 5 armour there’s there’s almost nothing that would kill you very very fringe cases where you could actually die like the filter potion + hellfire something like really rare so typically this is going to mean you get an extra turn but you kind of used up your whole turn playing the card so the main way are actually going to gain an advantage is if you have a gigantic weapon so you have a gigantic weapon you your phone in the face then you get an extra turn any extra turn gives you the advantage of getting the extra weapon attack in the face so that good yeah that’s all right I don’t know how realistic it is to get to turn nine and rogue because rogues usually cycle out their hand with cheap spells and stop there’s going to be a dead card for a long time in the rogue deck that I’m imagining but who knows you also change your hero power to deaths shadow as a passive hero power and during your turn to get a shadow reflection to your hand with the shadow reflection that’s a shadow reflection so each time you play a card this shadow reflection card turns into a copy of that card so let’s say you ply like a minion this becomes that minion say playing another one of the minions you don’t to do that maybe you eviscerate your opponent’s face this becomes an eviscerates okay yeah I want to destroy my opponent of the face again and you get this it was started every turn so it’s it’s overall a really powerful effect the main drawbacks are the main synergy is gigantic weapons which get savagely countered in hearthstone and 9 mana which is not something roads are familiar with speaking of high mana cards we have the druid crazy high mana card 10 cos ultimate infestation deal 5 damage draw five cards gain five armor and summon a 5/5 ghouls so this cars is ridiculous remember early in the video how I talked about the value in card draw sprint is draw four so if you want to draw five cards balanced around the old you know card draw mechanics it would be a nine cost card that would draw you five cards there’s a ten cost card that draws you five cards but it does five damage gives you five armor just kind of like a holy fire and puts a 5/5 ghoul and play which is in my opinion about let’s say three and a half to four mana by constructive standards at least so you basically do 18 mana worth of stuff and it’s all on one card so it’s kind of in terms of value and all that you’re doing about 20 to 22 mana worth of stuff that’s absolutely insane now the drawbacks are it’s all on one card it’s druid the druid late-game one condition are not as well defined what I’m saying is a lot of the other classes have some really broken as extremely powerful combos and control cards right now and while this is extremely powerful and way off the power curve drew it’s kind of struggle to be that control class and now they have much higher competition this might be blizzards attempt to kind of balance druids Clifford J druids of course with the other control elements of the other classes but basically what I’m saying is I don’t think it would lead the meta I think it might kind of match some of the other control decks because again it seems like control late-game cards or getting the power creep they basically have deserved for the last few years and we have the desperate stand to cost paladin spell gives the minion deathrattle return this to life with one health so this is basically what Redemption did when secrets could trigger on your own turn like three years ago and that was an extremely powerful effect when considering mid to late game divine shield minions especially things like argent commander where you’d play it attack something it’d still be there the next turn you’d play Redemption or this card now I guess on your argent commander attack into something kill off your arch commander to come back right away you’ll have the divine shield charge again attack again and you know you get the idea it’s really really good effect I don’t know if it’s good enough to meet the divine shield swarm aggro paladin which I’m pretty sure is going to be a deck it’s just this is still kind of borderline in that deck I feel it can be very powerful but I don’t know if that deck will include mid-late game divine shield minions I suspect it’s largely going to be small ones which would make this card a lot worse shadow ascendant to cost priest card whoa how about that and it kind of sucks so two mana tutu is pretty damn bad it buffs other friendly minions so you need other friendly minions just kind of the problem playing priest if you play a priest one drop it’s probably not going to compete with opponents one drops on or this card’s good but if it’s not this card sucks and to card early game combo is a little optimistic when playing priest I think the best use for this card is it’s okay and arena and probably best off playing two of them or just with another to drop on turn four which again is not great it’s just an okay card skulking beast so this card has been the talk of the town on reddit six costs were six boat ride destroy all one cost spells in both hands and decks so this obviously completely destroys J druid and I think it’s really stupid to actually counter a card this way I have to keep in mind Blizzard designs expansions two expansions in advance so we’re getting this card to counter J Drew’s with problem two expansions ago much like pirate warriors or a problem two expansions before that when we got Galaga crawler so I don’t like this form of rebalancing those cards are obviously broken they create not fun gaming environment within the game that we love honestly those cards should just get nerfed and this is a really crappy way to change those cards specifically this one I don’t think this card is going to be as useful as you might imagine unless you can create a deck where it’s good if you remove your one cost spells from your own deck and also if people are playing combo decks with one cost spell which they might be and then this card might be okay but because the six cost card with poor stats for that mana cost it is just on a very low power level so if the effect isn’t very good then well it’s a huge weight to your deck now people talked about well you know you can just if you just discard any one card from your opponent’s hand that’s like removing a draw which is kind of puts this card in the balance but you have to keep in mind if your phone is just playing like whatever for one cost spell let’s say they doesn’t actually need to win the game whatever cards let’s say you discard one from his hand which it has one less card in his hand that’s pretty good right but then the other three not going to drawn to them and generally you don’t want to draw into one mana spells in the late game so you’re kind of doing them a favor as well I think that actually kind of balances that so again I think the main way you’re going to use this card one if J dude complete out of control they won’t be because this card exists so I guess kind of mission accomplished I guess but the main way you’re going to use this card in a normal circumstance where you can use card and feel good about it rather than just a stupid way to counter a stupid deck is if you are playing a deck you do not want to draw your one drops in the late game so for example you can be playing priest power work shields holy smites and let’s say potion two madnesses all really good cards in the early game but all very poor cards in the late game and cards you don’t want to draw so what you do is you play two of these you play two copies of each of those you use up all your one cost spells from your hand and then you remove the crappy one drops from your deck so you can only draw good cards we have that’s kind of the idea and I think that can work I just don’t know how yet or if it really will for sure you have ice fishing to cast drop to murlocs from your deck that seems pretty good several ways to play this card you can just play like a Murloc shaman or you can play with very specific murlocs and try to have some kind of like combo wombo like if you just have charge murlocs and buff murlocs maybe you can get like a blood left combo that’s obviously a bad idea but you just to illustrate how you might want to use it differently I like I like this card because it’s fairly open while still targeting a specific card that generally don’t see a lot of play roll bones to Castro card draw card if it has death metal cast this again so I played in his off road obviously as I play every mazhab deck they’ll play death rattle packs decks definitely packed rogues specifically in this case and they don’t have that many death rattle minions so I mean for this to be a good card you’re going to have to draw at least one and a half on average right yeah so free to draw one and a half on average half your deck needs to be death rattles at your neck is not going to be death rattles maybe there’s some redemption for this card if you’re playing close to that and auctioneers but then auctioneers don’t really work it’s kind of a mess acolyte of agony priest early game card and it sucks again so it’s a three men a 3/3 which in arena is pretty good because it gives you consistency when drafting because it’s going to have a massive occurrence bonus it’s a class card it’s a common you’re going to see it so frequently that you are rarely going to be lacking three drops playing priest in arena which is a good thing but the coordinate self is not not really that good life skills is a pretty good mechanic but it’s not going to turn three because I’m turned three you’re usually not missing that much or really any health three threes not going to make a big impact in the late game so it kind of sucks they’re basically think about it when is this going to be better than earthing farce here so if you play it and it gives you six health so if it attacks and then attack second timer gets attack that’s just so rare it’s so rarely better than or the ring Farseer and Farseer is flexible and still not really include in any pre specs I can recall require a defender 3 cross 2 8 pot overload 3 oh that’s a huge cost so if this had like one more attack it basically be the I don’t know it’s called a tree thing six costs 3/8 taunt which is a pretty solid arena card now if you compare it to like MOBA Sean – one – one for four it obviously looks really bad but I think shaman doesn’t struggle too much to buff the attack of its minions it kind of focuses on that actually so I think if you can make a deck that regularly busby attack of your minions this is actually a really good card the downside of that is if the meta is a mid-range to control that still won’t matter because if this is like a four eight control still won’t care so there’s a few challenges there but it’s possible this card can overcome all and actually rule the matter like if the meta is fairly aggressive decks have rarely over for health minions this card is insane so we’ll have to see follow us on cleric to cop21 friendly minion plus one plus one current the shadow son effect but you can’t have as many one drops as you can have two drops particularly marina with this kind of a played it’s a little bit worse even though it’s on a slightly higher power level it just doesn’t work with what you’re typically going to get in an arena deck priest that night this is an interesting one so it’s eight cost it cost this fine you can usually do something with two mana and battle print destroys all means is five or more attack so might be for this is priest if you play just a fairly controlling priests you kind of beat other control decks anyway so having that effect having like a third death or maybe fourth death if you can hit two of it is not really that big of a deal but again the meta is going to change so maybe it will be a big deal now the potential big deal is what your hero power becomes it becomes void form so it’s deal to damage but also after you play a card refresh your hero power so by itself it’s just pretty good but when it gets really insane is if you have played Raza so if you played Raza this is going to cost you zero so basically every time you apply any card you can deal to damage to whatever you want for free that’s when it gets completely batshit insane so just because of the hero power is this might actually be a really powerful card but we’re going to have to be looking at singleton priests and the consistency might be too big of a challenge this is something we’ll really have to test but I think it’ll be fun testing play dead trigger death death rattle for one it’s pretty good drop down to high main one mana to two twos pretty good just depends on how much of your deck is death rattles right now not very many after the expansion possibly enough good car but it needs a pretty strict requirement death speaker 3 cost two for battlecry give a friendly minion immune to this turn it’s quite as ridiculous this is slightly worse than argent protector Arjun protectors basically included almost every single deck and carry the hell out of Paulo in arena the reasons not quite as good as argent protector is because I can’t imagine where an immune effect is actually better than a divine shield effect when played proactively on your turn because except for like abomination hits or something it’s just it’s just the same thing but with divine shield you can stack it for a tempo play so if your opponent has no minions and you have a minion and you can aren’t your protector that minion having the divine shield carries over the following turns but this effect is only until end of turn so that’s why I don’t think it’s quite as good as argent protector but again being neutral really opens up what’s going to happen and what’s possible I can see this card being played anywhere and everywhere it’s just an extremely powerful card even in control decks mid range necks even Agra decks I think this is pretty good it’s not a high cost to play that maybe not like face decks but like scarily aggressive let’s say mid range neck I can see this being played into those we’ll have to see though this might be a bit of a problem rattling rascal for cost to to some of the 5:5 skelton death Bell sometimes one for your opponent so you can have two silences would get around that effect pretty powerful though I mean it’s for mana 7-7 just you have to be really ahead it’s definitely a wind more card and some decks really work off of that so that might be good enough how fiend 3 cost 36 demon when this minion takes damage discard or rent guard oh man that’s a ridiculously high cost but the really funny thing about this card is it works very well with the Warlock and works unbelievably well with the clutch from other legendary so if this card has taken like three four hits and every time its landing on the clutch holy crap that thing is going to get way out of control really fun card I think it’s I think it’s going to be a relatively weak but I can’t wait to try it out frozen clone new mage secret after your opponent plays a minion add two copies of it to your hand so in in just a standalone card that’s pretty good you gain value game cards you can’t hand-sized nice card but again this gets countered by applying a small minion mirin tea gives countered by your opponent playing small minion potion of polymorphs gets countered by your opponent playing a small minion so these cards have extreme negative synergy with one another seeker decks are still kind of struggling with that pretty hard at least as majors concerned if shadow essence six costs on a five five copy of a random minion in your deck this can get really crazy if you only have very few and very specific minions in your deck like if you’re running the new of a Lydian destroyer crazy-ass Priest card and Justin is off two out of three times you’re getting one of those the other time you’re getting in the sausage all right but yeah this can be very strong then we have rotface eight cost four six warrior legendary when this minion survives damage some other random legendary minion cost eight is pretty difficult to set this up if you play this and it gets one shot at it’s absolutely terrible so we are looking at extremely high requirements very very challenging to pull this off but who know that’s a powerful effect might be worth it breath of sindragosa for one mage spell deal two damage to a random enemy and freeze it is a really high power level card major survives off of these and I don’t know if it’s good enough to lead a new wave of tempo mages but who knows we’ve been surprised with cards like these in the past then lastly for today I have bone Drake 6 cost 4 6 5 dragon when it dies add a rain dragon to your hand so this card’s absolutely bonkers in arena and probably good enough in constructed I mean it’s a dragon crazed can probably run it and to death rattle so pretty good probably but it wouldn’t dissolve and a few other death rattle interactive cards overall pretty strong stuff expansion spice enough more card reveals gets me hyped up even more there are a few problematic cards that I see but time will tell and have to experiment and see when the expansion comes up for now hope you guys enjoyed my review [Music] you [Music]

[Hearthstone] An Amazing Frozen Throne Adventure

hey guys how’s it going crane here today I want to give you guys my experience playing the Frozen Throne winged one the expansion has just come out and we got to experience the prologue the story mode of Lich King for us nicely frozen throne is not just a pack expansion it seems to have about 350 60% of the content of an adventure in addition to being card expansion and at least what we’ve had this week the first entry week with the prologue and the first wing it actually is very well done the encounters feel very polished the mechanics are very different and the encounters are difficult enough that you actually have to build decks to beat each one this is an experience we haven’t had since honestly League of the Explorers like it’s been so long since we’ve had PvE content of this caliber and today I want to highlight my experience encountering it for the first time keep in mind this is some heavy spoiler ship if you haven’t played the adventure and you’re really into her it’s done you
