Making this comment to clarify one thing, I think after the first or second card (its been like 3 weeks since we recorded this) I did clarify that minions != spells. I am sorry for forgetting right at the start, its something that does not come to my mind since I do not play magic. Hopefully you still enjoy the video.
Nah Scabbs totally saw play in miracle rogue. It wasn't the best card but it kept a slot there.
As someone who never played MTG, it is hilarious how every MTG player chants 'Minions are not spells'
Secret Passage reminds me of a one-sided memory jar in Magic. Anyone whos dealt with a memory jar knows how busted it can be, but making it one-sided!?!? Yeah, busted.
I feel like the first few cards were bait because they needed quite a bit of context in the class to know lol, but that’s the fun of it
I'd love this concept with Joshua Schmidt ! One of the best yugioh player and content creator imo !
“Magical Christmas-land” is a MtG idiom and I’m glad you appreciate it
Pretty sweet seeing Doug Demuros son try to make sense of Hearthstone. Fun video ideas Rarran! Loved Hearthstone before that pay wall got so big you need another part time job 😛
All joking aside, this was fun to watch. Thanks R!
9:42 Wild Acid'Mancer memories 🙂
Scabbs was one of the best cards in pillager combo deck. The deck was good enough that they nerfed pillager to not hit heros (killing the deck).
Idk why they made yog-saron's tentacles like asparagus lol
Yeahh Voxy was better at evaluating cards than CGB lol
For Fanottem, CGB was uncharacteristically thinking in the box. I would have asked if there were any effects that look at a card's mana cost like Erratic Explosion in Mtg or minions that act as a copy of the last card discarded or something. It seemed like Rarran was dropping hints in this direction.
Caveat: have not played HS in a long time so I didn't know either if Fanottem's cost or stats were somehow abused either.
I think some very important context for rating Yogg is knowing how many spells there are in Hearthstone where the targeting doesn't matter and it's just pure benefit to you, aka anything that is "Give your minions X" or "Do Y to all enemies" or even just drawing cards, playing secrets, etc. The situations where Yogg would randomly pyroblast your face 3 times are extremely rare compared to the situations where it would cast fan of knives, flamestrike, holy nova, etc. and just clear the board for you before hexing itself.
CGB throwing that shade nerdgirl and Voxy would disagree
I would LOVE for you to find some way to make videos with some of these Magic players where you teach each other the other game
I think the best Hearthstone clip i've ever seen is that one Yogg that Betrayal'd to the opponents side of the board, then cast Cataclysm, destroying his hand and deck. Absolute magnificence.
I hear ‘All Hearthstone is is smashing dumb minions into each other’, and I have one and only one answer to that. ahem “Everyone! GET IN HERE!”
this is the best one i i’ve seen u do this guy was so fun. him and stevie are the most enjoyable guests.
Yogg’s strength isn’t in how strong is usually is, it’s that it’s a card you can play when you are effectively going to lose anyway, and it gives you like a 20% chance to win. That’s what it has to be judged against, how good would a card be if it costs 10 mana and literally said “end the game now, you have a 20% chance at winning and an 80% chance at losing”. And while that sounds terrible, it actually isn’t. You play it when the game is lost, and you hold it when you have a viable path to victory. That’s why everyone ran Yog Druid. They planned to hold the card if the matchup was one they could just grind down with Druid, and they start rolling dice when it’s an unfavorable matchup.
very fun, maybe add more spells too
Great video rarran! I appreciate the length. You're truly consistent with making enjoyable content.
Rarren you should explore some magic, if you knew both hearthstone and magic terms it'd be easy to fill in guests.
How much pre research went into showing Prince Renathal to CGB?
The funny thing with Milhouse is it has seen play in the past in very rare decks or metas. Still a terrible card but its an interesting note.
Scabbs was literally in a tier1 wild deck for several year.
Yes, it was a question of finding a “right place” for him
Praise Yogg, the ultimate 'oh-shit' card!
With interest with the Trogg, it would be of interest to you too remind Magic players that creatures are not 'Spells'. Because to a magic player considers every card to be a spell.
Priest sounds like WU Stax. Yuck.
Getting @BWheelerMTG, a canlander player to do this would be wild.
Pillager rogue played scabbs as a main combo piece and was overpowered enough to warrant a rework.
This was great. CGB has such excellent energy and you guys played off each other really well. Bravo!
Rarran put it well: Yogg-Saron has a special place in all our hearts from that time we played it and it did something insane.
Renathal made the game feel amazing to me at its release. After getting pounded by as much aggro as I had been in wild, it was nice to give myself a 10 health barrier to get another turn or two to get my stuff rolling.
As a player who briefly played hearthstone at the start and now plays magic, I think it could be useful to know that spells in hearthstone are much weaker than in magic. By this, I mean that in magic, you can kill most creatures for 1 or 2 mana and board wipe at 4, but in hearthstone, a 4 mana deal 2 damage to everything card is considered good.
Lol 'you take 1, 2 ,3 and then 5, 6 and 7'. Guess there is no 4 damage in hearthstone :p
Rarran made me addicted to Voxy's content. Convert this man as well, you can do it Rarran!
I know you're just going off Standard standards (heh), but Public Defender occasionally played in Wild Quest/Taunt Warrior since it can be buffed by into the fray/bolster.
we took a sip of our tims at the same time and looked at each other and it was weird
Cheaper than magic, maybe paper, but not MTGA
I miss renathal. He made wild so much better.
A little deceptive on the Priest quest. It was good because you guaranteed got it turn 1 and you got two discover a card effects for 1 mana in a control deck. That's what made it nutty. Every control deck woud play 1 mana draw 2, let alone discover & draw 2. The shard was almost always irrelevant. As control you didn't have a turn 1 play anyway, so it's all upside no downside.
Scabbs wasn't that bad ! He popped off for me !! At least once :DDD
35:40 No. Rogue is the most hated class in the game.
Praise Yogg!
Wish he showed him the Toast Yogg =)
