the problem of f2p hearthstone is that you start, craft cards for 1 meta deck and then the meta shifts and you are stuck with a deck that is no longer viable. even if you get refunded 1600 dust for a legendary nerf that killed your deck its not enough to make another meta one. the game is just stupidly expensive
Yup. Took it seriously for one meta. Made a sick rogue. Climbed to legend. Then could never play again after having burnt all my dust to make the deck. 😂
Zilliax was nerfed so he got a full dust refund. He could then undo crafting boogeymonster to get the dust back and craft Zilliax again. He didn't lose anything
@@shadowseek27 Well, when I see people playing dumbass cards, it brings a smile to my face every time. I hope to make my opponents laugh when they see me playing the fucking BoOgEyMoNsTeR or other equally nonsense cards.
being stuck with a deck or a class truly is the experience of free to play hs. I have only invested in the rogue class for the 5 years ive been playing (taking breaks and not a very good player) and in some metas its really hard to have fun cause of this. I wish desenchanting card gives you more than a quarter of their values, its so painful sometimes
That's why I play on both EU and NA, gives me some variation by having a focus on different classes on each one. It goes without saying I usually open the legendaries I need for the other server.
I think this has been my favorite of your videos. The story line was so good. And to be honest, finding yogg was one of the funniest moments Ive seen in recent time
glad to see that HS is now very new player friendly, it used to be it's biggest flaw, i remember my brother hated the game because it was very hard to get a decent deck as a new player and stopped playing props!
I mean this had always been possible, even easy. But you couldn't use any class, it had to be Warlock, hunter, mage, druid anything with cheap aggro tools.
As someone who has played hearthstone for 4+ years, never been above diamond 3 and has recently been stuck in plat 10. This made me physically ill and i got PTSD from this video. Much love
You know, I'd never really thought about how playing suboptimal versions of a super-popular deck would put you at a disadvantage. Everyone is teching against your strategy, but you don't necessarily have the tools you need to fight back
Hey Rarran, I've been watching your content for a while, and never really comment on vids or streams, but I just wanted to let you know that this video was so well done. I remember watching the streams for this challenge, and the way you put the whole video together was incredible. Keep up the great work!
After long break (since Old Gods) i came back to HS only to get rolled by Ziliax/Reno every game, even though i was playing Plague DK that HS was giving for free. After dusting every other class cards made my weird version of Rainbow Handbuff DK to finally get legend
What do you mean highest rank is Legend? It's rank 25, you see clearly you don't know what the game is all about. There are 25 ranks and clearly the highest one (25) is the best rank
Man my cousin would insist that higher percentage numbers in Smash meant he was winning and would get really mad when I'd kill him at 98% while I'm at 3% and he just wouldn't accept this
@@dariopereira8922 don't you know that Glorious Guides of Darkkmane? You play Heartstone and don't know the most important video of the history of the game? Good lord, what has RUclips become?
Had an idea for a deckbuilding challenge ripped from magic content, set drafting. Randomly choose 10 sets, each player gets to ban 1, then draft the remaining sets. Make decks out of cards in your sets and battle for content
Omg that last game with the boss music. Thank you very much for the content and giving up a little of your sanity every stream. Hope this video explodes!
basically the challenge i started yesterday by um making an account so far no one's able to deal with my even handlock except plague DKs and 1 paladin so i should be fine also challenge idea: HS but no core set
The thing Rarran mentions about being super happy every time you can improve your deck, it really makes me miss being new to the game and creating your own list of jank
Having not played this game for about 9 years now, it's incredible that this is possible now. It's nice to see that the game isn't pure pay to win anymore. Hats off to you sir.
Dude thank you for making this video, I heard you weren't gonna make this one. Made me really sad dude. BUT YOU CREATED THIS VIDEO AND I WANTED IT SO BAD! As you would say WE ARE SO BACK! 🎉
The cinematics of that last game were actually really good. At first it was a jarring contrast to the rest of the video, but it would unironically be a really good editing style if done for an entire video. In most videos I have to pause each time a card is played to read what it does, but the way you slowed down on the important cards and zoomed in on the hand each time the cards in hand got buffed by your weapon made it very obvious what you were doing throughout the game and what your goal was with each card you played.
You weren't joking when you said they give you a lot of packs. I recently played for the first time since Witchwood came out and I had like 150 packs to open up, with more following because I was earning achievements while collecting new cards lol.
I really appreciate this gameplay. RNG is also part of this game and felt happy when he got that Zilliax and Amitus. I was laughing on the Yogg part. Also F2P and looking forward to crafting this Deck. Thank you Sir!
idk if I'm not a high enough ranking, but my all plauge death knight deck does not auto lose to warriors, I usually overwhelm them with 2/2's that I turn into 5/2s with rush, or I create a 10/10 that I can create multiple copies off while I flood their deck with plagues and fill mine with free summon on draw undead.
I loved the first like 3 years of hearthstone so much. By far one the best and most fun ive had playing a card game. I main Miracle Rogue and Freeze Mage. Also played Handlock, Control Pries, and Zoo a lot. played the others too but that was my favorites in order. I got Legend a lot but never took it serious after getting legend each month. If I could go back, I would have streamed and took the game more serious in legend rank and try and play events. Just another mistake to add to the mountain of regrets haha.
I remember playing this F2P on launch and opening the few packs I got just to end up getting Gruul as my first legendary. It was awful back when the best decks like Handlock and Miracle rogue were filled with legendries and epics that you could never have the dust to craft but at least everyone sucked so they lose to your Murloc or Zoo Warlock deck.
Idea for a simple challenge. You randomly get a class for half a rank with no repeats. So you are forced to play each class for 5 ranks, diamond could be painful though.
Thanks for reminding me a deck doesn't have to be meta to play it. I've went back to my classy mech rogue and I don't care if anyone else is playing it or not. I love that deck
i've f2ped to legend before, my last climb stopped in diamond because my mid-cost hunter deck wasn't fun to climb with anymore, it's honestly not a bad time to climb f2p but back when I started you usually wouldn't have enough dust or high power meta cards to make a strong enough deck. it seems like that's generally been rectified though.
For the record this is the full challenge description: Reach rank Legend as a F2P player within 24 hours of playing without crafting cards but only relying on the cards from the packs given for free or bought with the in-game currency.
@@adimuller1893 yeah I found it the problem was I was looking at the 9 cost area but he was at 0 cost cards. I just started hs when I posted that comment now I peaked d1 😁
did you skip the apprenticeship games? its absolutely worth playing the apprenticeship because it counts for your ranked mmr once you finish your apprenticeship, i literally got to 1k legend mmr (x10 star bonus and placed in 1k legend when i got there) when i started as a new player with the frost dk loaner deck.
back then I had to save up every 10golds just to buy packs to catch up and climb legend. I think it's why heartstone is fun and give people motivation to play. Collecting cards is fun and I don't know why people always complaining about the F2P or P2P part. If you are good engough you can climb to high rank with budget decks, or else just be patient and collect cards until you can craft your favourite legendary. That's the most fun part of the game
Ironic that the Zilliax was at 77.8% played and Zeddy dropped a video yesterday discussing if we should be demanding a nerf of Zilliax for being at an 82.6% play rate.
I play handbuff paladin but without the Yogg. The only way I ever lose is by playing the Paladin Titan, and then they Yogg mind control it. Honestly that Titan loses me more games than win
the problem of f2p hearthstone is that you start, craft cards for 1 meta deck and then the meta shifts and you are stuck with a deck that is no longer viable. even if you get refunded 1600 dust for a legendary nerf that killed your deck its not enough to make another meta one. the game is just stupidly expensive
Basically what happened with my warrior deck having 3/5 legendries nerfed in it made the deck very weak
True
And your bound to 1 deck, it sucks wanting to try other decks but not being able to.
Yup. Took it seriously for one meta. Made a sick rogue. Climbed to legend. Then could never play again after having burnt all my dust to make the deck. 😂
The good thing about Hearthstone is that buying into one expansion can be enough to literally play F2P forever from then on. I've done that.
Disenchanting zilliax to craft the boogeymonster physically hurt me
I play singleton control Warrior in Wild occasionally and run Boogeymonster in my deck.
💀@@SpeakerTerenus
@@SpeakerTerenusFor the mental damage right?... right?

props!
And he's not even crafting/disenchanting.
HS fell off tbh…

None

OMG, I did feel the relief, the agony and the happiness thought out this video, what a run!
In my head rarren just got so tired of hearing people bitch about pay to win that he spent 3 weeks grinding to legend.
Great vid by the way
rarran intros be like: water is a drink that people consume. i also consumed water. this time... with ice.
it a joke (love u)

Great Video! I never played this Game before but to watch was it great!
Good luck on your next Adventure ^^

That edit of the final game was sick! 10/10

Please dont disappoint me again, sir.

Perfect video to eat, thanks Rarran!
god tier content again, keeping me up through a breakup this time, thank you
give your editor a raise! the last game was pure hype
Great content as always; well done!!
That Yogg discovery was hilarious. And that Zilliax pull pure luck. Congratz.
I was anticipating this video so much
Please give the funny editor man a thumbs up for the ending, that was really good :)
What is the music around 28:00 from? Its so good!
Returned to hearthstone from a nearly 10 year hiatus. Hit legend using that free DK plague deck the game gives returning players this month
Man this challenge is hilarious. Feels like vids back in 7 years when Hearthstone was good
I've always been free to play, I usually play cards that maximise randomness. Currently spamming excavate shaman in low plat and having a blast
idk if I'm not a high enough ranking, but my all plauge death knight deck does not auto lose to warriors, I usually overwhelm them with 2/2's that I turn into 5/2s with rush, or I create a 10/10 that I can create multiple copies off while I flood their deck with plagues and fill mine with free summon on draw undead.
Kudos for this achievement!
Now money you saved from not buying packs can be spent on psychiatrist after playing one deck for so many hours. 🤪
"You're forced with one deck for a little bit" my brother in Christ, I am forced with one deck for 2 months

haven't played hearthstone for a long time, nut isn't it still free to play to dismantle cards and craft new ones. Do you need to pay for that now?
Rarran: Please anything good
Hearthstone: Hunter card
The videos are even better with the Pokemon music
gw, we’re proud of you!
21:15 Rarran had to go change his boxers
I haven't played hearthstone in years, since wild was released. I can't believe the amount of games ending by like turn 6
