Dane is so good that despite the fact that I quit Hearthstone like forever ago to play shadowverse, I still can't stop watching him and his crazy decks. Also, I'm super tempted to head back to Hearthstone to try Zola but Cygames has coddled me with free packs and gold to the point that I cringe thinking about how much time and effort I'd have to put in to get the dust I need for this deck...
@gum ball Eh, Shadowverse is at least on par with Hearthstone in terms of gameplay (and honestly imo, it's better due to less high-rolling cards that can win games for more consistency) while Cygames is an infinity better game company than Blizzard will ever be. Seriously, list one time when Blizzard actually gave packs to players for anything. Oh wait, they don't. They're Bli$$ard and would never do anything that can cut down on their profits. Cygames on the other hand? Not even mentioning the 30-40+ packs you get for just starting the game (meaning you don't actually have to go around getting steamrolled with only the basic set of cards until you finally save up enough gold to buy enough packs to get the cards you need to craft a half decent deck), there are plenty of easily achievable achievements that give new players ~4-5k gold (which is about 40-50 packs). Which means new players can actually have a good deck to play with when they start (and in some cases, even 2 or 3 decks that can function in the meta). Shadowverse's devs actually care for the game while Hearthstone is just Bli$$ard's way of performing a cash grab. I'm not actually averse to spending money in games since I've spent money on Cygames (only about a hundred since I don't really need crystals too much), before I quit league in season 4 (when Rito f*cked up middlestix with the fear rework and Xerath with his f*cked up rework) I gave Rito hundreds and Nexon NA has taken thousands from me over the years, I just refuse to spend money on a company that only cares about making as much money as possible from players like Bli$$ard. tl;dr: Hearthstone and Shadowverse may be on similar levels in terms of gameplay but Bli$$ard is a greedy dev while Cygames actually knows how to keep player support.
@triopsate3 Completely agree with you- I personally don't play Shadowverse (it's something about the art style and animation that I just make it less enjoyable) but I'll never spend anything on Hearthstone. Bli$$ard even increased the EU pack prices by so much that it'll be CHEAPER to make a fully functional meta Magic the Gathering deck and update it constantly. *OUT OF REAL CARDS THAT DON'T REQUIRE INTERNET TO SEE* . Instead of staying in the meta for a full year in PayToWinStone.
They're choosing winning over fun. Can't blame them for that, since they're playing HS for the competitive side, while we play for the fun and creative side. We all have our preferences.
Hey Dane, have you tried any decks with Temporus yet? It does seem like a fun card to build a deck around. I think the best way to play it would be to play Temporus and Doomsayer at the same turn, then, if you survive when your two turns come, you either , go for an ancient one combo with Barnes and mirage caller, or Mimiron's Head with two cheap mechs. What do you think?
Nice game Dane! Been a fan for a while (loved going infinite with shadowcaster back in Whispers - MSOG before brann rotated), but just got around to subbing. Any shenanigans you can find with Sonya Shadowdancer? She was a day 1 craft for me and I want to break the game with her, zola, shadowcaster and of course Valeera.
That's pretty awesome. There's a risk that the Ice Block gets popped, I guess, so you could play Ironforge Rifleman for something more guaranteed. But Medivh's Valet is better in non-combo situations, and how many games are you going to survive after losing the Ice Block.
That's what I was gonna say, any elemental that burns on battlecry also has lifesteal with Jaina, so those are more useful outside of the combo. It's not like the 7 cost for Blazecaller will be relevant past the first.
I was saying it at the time both were revealed. Zola and Ley-line are both incredibly good. It was only a matter of time before they each found a home. Though i wouldn't have guessed them together.
Hahahahaha, nice one mate, good fun as usual. Thanks for all your vids, they're very good and entertaining, so keep up the good work and we'll keep following it! Cheers!
Cool that the Priest didn't concede earlier like most people would've, let Dane do his best Mad Scientist impressions. Or maybe he thought he actually had a chance somehow.
I would enjoy seeing other classes with this Neutral Shadowcaster combo. Probably won't be as good as Leyline Manipulator, but maybe there could be room for a Stitched Tracker?
Those 2 always work. His doesn't work unless oppo actually kills the zola first since he can't get zola back into his hand unless it dies by the oppo's hand. It's not the biggest deal to just leave a 2-2 on the board to prevent this shenaniganry
I put off crafting so far this expansion but this deck just seems like the most fun ever. I gotta try it. It reminds me of the duplicate illuminator fatigue mage I use to play a few years ago.
Dane, you're a straight up fucking genius. I love you and your whacky shit. I would make these kind of decks, but I'm too retarded to pilot them as well. I'll happily just watch you play them. I love you.
I have to wonder if the priest really thought there was a way to beat infinite value, was he just dragging it out for fun or did he actually think he had a chance
![GEEK TIMË [OFFICIAL AUDIO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ry-6RvkH880/mqdefault.jpg)
from rogue to warrior to mage. nothing can stop Dane from building a factory
Dane secretly invented capitalism too.
Blizzard, what were you thinking?! You can't release cards like this when this madman is on the loose! This was bound to happen! :O
It's only in wild so they don't care.
Who needs Thaurissan when you can just reduce the cost of most card in your hand by 4 instead of 1?
Forever. Thaurissan does it like once and dies.
Ahhhh dane you are the most entertaining hearthstone youtuber by far
griffin taylor he is tied for me in comparison to Day9, but god Dane is very entertaining
Dane is the only reason why I didn't dust my Gorgon when I got her in a pack, I was like: "This has Danepotential!"
Dane is the only reason why I consider disenchanting all of my golden cards to craft Zola
DanePotential™
that was the exact same thought i had when i opened it in a pack. though, now i know the word for it. DanePotential
Danetential
He could try a version with Keleseth, gorgoning the keleseth and branning it over and over until he plays something like a 100/100 wisp
Dane is so good that despite the fact that I quit Hearthstone like forever ago to play shadowverse, I still can't stop watching him and his crazy decks. Also, I'm super tempted to head back to Hearthstone to try Zola but Cygames has coddled me with free packs and gold to the point that I cringe thinking about how much time and effort I'd have to put in to get the dust I need for this deck...
It would take a lot of dust, I ended up disenchanting all my gold cards this expansion
=o love your videos and your amazing decks
hah weeb

This is by far the coolest thing I have seen from KnC so far! gj danerino
You are a modern Prometheus, Dane.
Friendship ended with Shadowcaster, now Zola is my best friend.
Why not both?
My reaction to this awesome deck was about the same as the spectator
Ssssssuch a perfect specimen
For real though, Zola's intro voice line and music has to be one of the all-time HS greats.
This power is ecstasyyy
EtherealG i agree with you completely
this guy is living the full potential of hearthstone, let the others play their repetitive copy pasted decks while Dane plays the full game.
They're choosing winning over fun. Can't blame them for that, since they're playing HS for the competitive side, while we play for the fun and creative side.
We all have our preferences.
I generally want to hit rank 5 for the 400 dust. After that it's whatever looks fun.
i play meta decks and think its fun
fdskugysaguk runyan then I'm happy for you.
minwage fucknugget couldn't agree more
i would have conceded ages ago
I never concede crazy combo stuff
there really wasn't much more of a combo to see.
Can we appreciate the priest player for making this video last this long?
Seriously, this might just be the best Dane video ever. This is madness in its purest form.
This is your best creation yet! Well done, Dane. You mad scientist. I'll show them! I'll show them alllll!
Dane, you are a treasure of the HS community.
In blizzard next patch note : "Player Dane got Nerfed, was way too powerful".
Other players are relieved.
This was very funny! Since this combo is so strong, you could use anything "stupid" as a finisher, such a Questing Adventurer, Ozruk, E.T.C., etc.
nat the dark fisher
Dark Fisher victory would be grand.
Look at the madness in his eyes. Hahah good one and keep it up!
Dane, you will be remembered in hearthstone history
Hey Dane, have you tried any decks with Temporus yet? It does seem like a fun card to build a deck around. I think the best way to play it would be to play Temporus and Doomsayer at the same turn, then, if you survive when your two turns come, you either , go for an ancient one combo with Barnes and mirage caller, or Mimiron's Head with two cheap mechs. What do you think?
I love watching anything @DaneHearthstone makes. Best wild player hands down
Dane, you are the Jesus of HearthStone, man...
This is insane
You are one mad scientist Dane. If you are not busy coming up with crazy meme deck then you are busy coming up with crazy combo decks.
I swear if Dane didn't play video games he'd be a mad scientist making inhuman discoveries: "I did it! I did it!"
Nice game Dane! Been a fan for a while (loved going infinite with shadowcaster back in Whispers - MSOG before brann rotated), but just got around to subbing. Any shenanigans you can find with Sonya Shadowdancer? She was a day 1 craft for me and I want to break the game with her, zola, shadowcaster and of course Valeera.
Gotta love Dane's way of thinking.
dude my personal mission for this expansion is finding ALL counters imaginable to psychic scream... tnx for this combo-combo ... it's AWESOME
Put Medivh's Valet in for the killing power
kwijung That's pretty good, 0 mana deal 6 is sick!
That's pretty awesome. There's a risk that the Ice Block gets popped, I guess, so you could play Ironforge Rifleman for something more guaranteed. But Medivh's Valet is better in non-combo situations, and how many games are you going to survive after losing the Ice Block.
That's what I was gonna say, any elemental that burns on battlecry also has lifesteal with Jaina, so those are more useful outside of the combo. It's not like the 7 cost for Blazecaller will be relevant past the first.
I am honestly surprised it took so long for someone to come up with something this great with Zola.
I was saying it at the time both were revealed. Zola and Ley-line are both incredibly good. It was only a matter of time before they each found a home. Though i wouldn't have guessed them together.
This is the most amazing thing ive seen in hearthstone by far
Hahahahaha, nice one mate, good fun as usual. Thanks for all your vids, they're very good and entertaining, so keep up the good work and we'll keep following it!
Cheers!
Dane constantly impresses me with shit like this, great job, unreal
Cool that the Priest didn't concede earlier like most people would've, let Dane do his best Mad Scientist impressions.
Or maybe he thought he actually had a chance somehow.
"Psychic my ass", that is the real golden.
Two gorgons, one manipulator, one brann and one soulcaster.
I absolutely loved the evil laugh
Love the video dane. I think in the future you should keep infinite copies of kazakus and keep using 5 mana 4 damage clear to free up board space!
I love your game strategy, I do not play this game but you are a very professional player and I love watching your game .
Dane = Mad Scientist confirmed
I would enjoy seeing other classes with this Neutral Shadowcaster combo. Probably won't be as good as Leyline Manipulator, but maybe there could be room for a Stitched Tracker?
Zola feat. Leyline - perfect specimen ecstasy
DANE YOU MADMAN!
The Dane Special: looks like a meme but is fuckin nuts
Leyline Manipulators are the new Zola the Gorgon
From 'Hey Paladin'-Warrior to 'Hey Priest'-Mage :D
Echo of medivh would be more reliable in generating the copy instead of duplicate?
Not really, you'd need either brann or zola to survive for a turn, since you can't play everything in a single turn
Vyggdrasil no, bran zola the bran echo. Next turn leyline. Next turn then bran zola the bran echo then zola the zola
Another alternative is simulacrum; play bran, sim zola then zola zola
Those 2 always work. His doesn't work unless oppo actually kills the zola first since he can't get zola back into his hand unless it dies by the oppo's hand. It's not the biggest deal to just leave a 2-2 on the board to prevent this shenaniganry
That does mean running 2 copies of echo though, and if you noticed, he was running a Reno Jackson deck, i.e 1 copy of everything.
You could use simulacrum instead of duplicate to get the second gorgon, it will make the combo a bit more reliable
« I’m the mad scientist! » « I can do whatever I want! Muhahaha »
Its cute that this priest still struggles in an all but lost battle. There is no controlling, no fighting a numberless Zerg swarm
How do you get 2 Zola for starting the combo ? Here you just got lucky with duplicate but otherwise how are you doing it ?
I put off crafting so far this expansion but this deck just seems like the most fun ever. I gotta try it. It reminds me of the duplicate illuminator fatigue mage I use to play a few years ago.
*Such a perfect speciman*
Leyland on his quest to free the gorgons :D
The future is now, old man !!!
Dane is a fucking genius, period
Is this what Temporus was made to counter? Give Dane's no-burst deck two turns, then pop his block on the first turn and kill him on the second?
Dane, you're the abstitute bestest!!
so we need to let our opponet trigger duplicate on the new 3 mana 2/2 or otherwise we cant go infinte ?
Minecraft Mage: do whatever you want
Not only is it more reliable and stronger than shadowcaster, but it's shinier too!
7:55 in the morning
And what a morning it is!
Look at me! This power is... ecstacy! It only cost my soul!
Ugh... swords...
UGH
UGH
UGH
This would be 100% perfect with a Geist in it just to stop getting overwhelmed by late game jade.
You can even use this to play out fatigue. Infinite heals with the elementals and infinite cards with manic and infinite value with the combo. Damn.
How long can this go on?
"what have they done with Leyland"
I agree
shadowcaster+ethereal peddler
that would be worthless because shadowcasted minions are already only 1 mana.
@Acilperezar Very true, Lemon.
Seems like this deck really ought to run a Blubber Baron....
You are the best! EPIC COMBO!
Dammit Dane! Please put the code in the description so I can try and improve on your mad genius!
Dane your the best. You make mage great again man :D
infinite leyline manipulators
Looks like I'm playing wild today.
Nice! This is what I subscribed for.
Evil Dane, Best Dane.
Holy crap, you genius...
Dane, you're a straight up fucking genius. I love you and your whacky shit. I would make these kind of decks, but I'm too retarded to pilot them as well. I'll happily just watch you play them.
I love you.
This deck is Timmy incarnate...
You broke the game for real this time.
Thank you based Dane. I'm still waiting for the day when I will finally queue into you :/
Nice one editor 3:59
Honestly from the point that zola was revealed I wanted to do something like this.
I want to make this deck so badly now.
I have to wonder if the priest really thought there was a way to beat infinite value, was he just dragging it out for fun or did he actually think he had a chance
Well played sir!!!!
I didn’t know you, till now. A friend told me about this video. Sorry for the long game, i hoped in a disconnect or something. I knew i was doomed!!!!
What about Bran, Kun and Zola?
Sneed! Please try with the Sneed!
Infinite Power.
"I can zoom"
V A L U E O V E R L O A D
You should get use blazecaller as the card to copy. With Brann he can finish the game quick
I'm only missing 3600 dust to make this. :( Two legendary cards and one epic.
Put Blazecaller in, with Brann that's 10 damage and heal and since you have leyline manipulator you already have elementals
10/10 evil laugh
"make physical Hearthstone"
Siiiiiiick game.
dane you craaaaazy son of a gun
If you add Questing Adventurer it will be pretty sick.
hey paladin
