there is an audio desync later in the video, I have let me editor know and I apologize for it! Hopefully the video is still good! My editor removed what I said about Lady Prestor, she was bad but she did have a tier one deck in voyage into the sunken city, after prince renethal was released. This was for a month, but she is still not a great card, it was more the circumstances of what prince renethal did for druid in a 4 set standard meta
Also if you disagree with what I said or the cards i showed that’s fine, I think what I said was okay but it does appear my editor took more out than he probably should for a lot of these cards
@@Rarran i think he should have received more credit for maestra. The card was bad (like he said) till the whole gnoll mechanic emerged. So I think there was no way to know that without the whole context of this mechanic.
@@Rarran I honestly kinda disagree with Prestor. There was a full, Tier 2-ish Druid deck for her that could consistently draw her and play her on T6 (or earlier) with Capture Coldtooth and Jerry Rig Carpenter meaning you have 5 options to draw her, plus Aquatic Form for more chances. It's not currently a very good deck, but before Castle Nathria was released it had about a 6% playrate and a 52% win chance
I think Stevie was 100% correct about Maestra. She saw no play in ladder whatsoever before they printed the Gnolls. However, they did play her in competitive scene exactly as Stevie said. Edit: Also Lady Prestor had an amazing druid deck. I think Rarran is off his game in this one.
To be far dragon druid was good only for a short period of time and way after the card was printed. But it does seem like he changes the timeline for cards. In some example, he'll talk about the period it came out in and in some cases he'll talk later down the road.
Prestor also saw play in the Silence Priest that was pretty good for a period during the Voyage meta, she was pretty much a win the game button in that deck.
Rarran is smoking in this video. 1. Gave Maestra without a gnoll 2. Said Prestor never saw play and hard to tutor 3. Said Divine Spirit Inner Fire was never utilized until Uldum (At least it was a win condition in KnC dragon priest with potion of madness)
apm preist was a thing in witchwood which used divine spirit inner fire played on the 1/1 charge boar. it was some minion that added the spells you cast on it to your hand, the 2/3 elemental that reduced spell costs by 1 and topsy turvy
Yeah, Maestra is *nothing* without Wildpaw. There is no conceivable way anyone would ever guess that Maestra is good not seeing the cards that actually pay off from its effect. That's just mean.
Honestly the interaction between Maestra and gnoll isn't even very intuitive. And with how overpowered the gnoll was early on and how much they struggled to balance it, I'm not sure it was intended or considered by the devs. They probably should have rephrased either of the cards to delete that interaction.
And even more important, Steve just described at perfection the deck and even said that it would be druid and it was... He should have more recognition on this one :cb
Stevie was right on with Maestra (except competitive, because classes aren't blind-picked) during the expansion it was released. Maestra was completely unplayable until the next set when Wildpaw Gnoll came out.
@@АлексейПруцев-ф4р thre is card that discount itself cost each time you gain card from other class in your hand. Even when the card is in your deck. This card is 3/5 rush for 6 mana. When you start your game with maestro, each drawn rogue card count as "other class". Also trade do not count as "play". So as a result, you have 3/5 rush for 0 mana somewhere near 3 turn, and it's a bit broken You star
Actually he said something really important, it was only good on the third porcent of his life, ans thats talking about that time, i mean dude she was only good pre nathria expansion, and was cause renathal, like less than a month
To be fair its like put her like the robot 0/12 with taunt and the ogre 2/12 with taunt and divine shield, theyre actually not good and after the expansion release they stop being used, cause the cards that were release were good and even more the real op ress pack were lost. does that mean the oggre and robot were bad? yeah they were, they only become usefull when vargoth was present on a time with bad cards that cant compete with it, then league was release and even though we recive more ress things and some time later the ress priest with galakrond become strong the oggre and mech werent there. The same happend to that card, its not good, it just bennefit from a really good card, renathal, and the lack of cards on the set, make that card just good for less than a month, only due to the circunstancies
I mean when prestor was good it was always just a question why are you not playing celestial druid its basically same concept just celestial has some control over your decisions and way more explosive turns
Wait Rarran, wasn't lady Prestor one of the big reasons why last expansions ladder was so miserable? Every other deck was a lady Prestor highroll druid deck, it was played on ladder all the time. Most druids I played against had consistent draw and ramp to get lady Prestor on turn 5 or 6.
He was right that Prestor was unplayable for 99% of her existence, though. Prestor Druid only became a thing because of the very specific meta in the Onyxia's Lair miniset where you could build a deck to fish out Prestor with Capture Coldtooth Mine and then pray you could find a Kazakusan. It's not seen play since, and it didn't see play before.
@@hzpfyjdcrbq it's not alternative at all it is the only l wincon. The whole point of the deck is to play Lady prestor turn6 or before. Playing minions before prestor was bad.
She did indeed not see a long time of play. But she did see a lot of play for that short time. Could have given Stevie some credit for it I thought it was genuinely impressive he figured druid could abuse it. Great video nonetheless obviously, always love watching
Keep it up Rarran, your videos are always very entertaining to watch! Also, love watching you mald in your Hearthstone challenges, you sacrifice your sanity to keep my stress levels low and my gold untouched
I would love to see a segment where you give the guest a nerfed/buffed card and the OG version but not tell them which is which and ask them to determine which one is which and if that change killed or made the card playable
You should definitely do a 4th video of you guessing Yu-Gi-Oh cards Stevie picks out for you. I always come back to the original 3 videos and watch for the lolz, they're very fun.
To be fair - when I played heathstone (before somewhen around 2016) that priest combo deck with divine spirit / inne fire was tried, but kept on not being consistant enough. In German hearthstone videos they kept on calling that combo the noob-combo deck because every noob tries to pull it off and realiced at some point that it is just not consistant enough and then moves on to do better decks. It's kind of cool and frightening at the same time that they added that one additional card that allowed priest to actually pull that off consistantly.
You really need to start showing your guests the combo cards, like put Wildpaw Gnoll up on screen. Really suprised there was no "But coldtooth mine made Prestor consistent and a real deck"
Really really love the content! Stevie is such a cool guest for this format, I love how calm and collected he answers and he doesn't seem to get triggered (at least until the end)
Stevie is so fucking great - I love your videos with him. Please do more in future, you two have great chemistry in videos together. Thanks always for the super enjoyable content, Rarran.
Like I’m sorry but most of your reveals were completely wrong… 1) Magtheridon was played a lot in top competitive decks ( tournament speaking ) and was played in a lot of master tour decks 2) LightShower Elemental is by far one of the best card in the deck, which allows the quest pries to destroys aggro, and could be paired with the Amulet or the Xyrella legendary and the Xyrella Hero card. It is clearly a 7/10 or a 8/10 card 3) Lady Prestor just broke the game when Kazakusan was introduced and it was by far the best deck in the game 4) Bandersmosh was an awful card, only played in meme decks but never in a competitive deck and reno Shaman never was a real thing ( apart from wild and even there bandersmosh was never played ) 5) Cobalt Spellkin was never played in any competitive standard deck, but it is a great arena card nothing more 6) High Priest Amet was a great card, but never Inner fire priest was tier S so it never was a « 10/10 banger, meta defining card » as you said
Amet was trash. All you needed to do is deal damage to him without killing him and unless your opponent has heals it literally makes their cards health total even worse than their base stats typically
Divine Spirit + Inner Fire lives on in wild. In any given meta, it is usually a safe bet that Big Priest makes up the majority of Priests, while Inner Fire Priest is the actually good one.
For the past month, most of my priest opponents have been big priest (wild player). I think I’ve seen 1 quest priest and maybe 3 thief priests. I cry every time...........
I had High Exarch Yrel for the longest time and decided to included it in my Paladin deck after The Countess came out and it's just a worse, more expensive version of Elitist snob, which is an epic instead of legendary
I am so sad with the priest slander. The class gets hated on for existing. Even when other classes does more toxic things, priest will still get hated on.
It's so interesting, my experience with these cards is SO different just because I mostly played casually with them. Things felt broken to me that were bad, and vice versa.
I love lady Prestor. Was my first legendary when I got back into the game. My favorite build with her was a combo deck in demon Hunter with her, Taelin to tutor her, and the 2 mana 2/3 that reduces your hero power by 1. Just had to hope for a Caldera Drake. And when you topdeck it, it was the best feeling ever.
Tbf the combo priest deck was also based on healing with the high hp cards that damage themselves and then circle of healing/neferset ritualist and such
Interesting interaction with Thief Rogue: If you somehow get a Hero card for another class and play it, you will be considered that new class. I once copied a Wildheart Guff from an opponent, then I played Tess Greymane. All of the rogue cards I played now counted as "another class," so it replayed a lot of prior rogue cards as well as the other stuff, while only losing the couple of Druid cards I stole up to that point.
i'm kinda interested to see you showing him cards taht are bad in standard but good in wild or card that only good in that 1 specific deck (like patron or juicy psych melon or star aligner-whatever his name is, the one taht deal 7 too all if you control some minion with 7+ health) or good card that got powercrept to be bad. I know it's kinda mean but Stevie's ygo list actually contain some of them as well (like yatag arasu or mirror force) and it's more interesting to see his/your train of thought during these card guessing vids (like when Steven analyzed Maestra and Noz) than just getting it right or not.
I'm getting crazier by each video. In what world was Magtheridon decent? Wasn't he like the card with the lowest playrate or winrate for a decent amount of time? Trump and other streamers even went back to it on some revisiting videos just to talk about how garbage it was.
I recall seeing Mag quite a bit in Demon Hunter decks who could easily clear the warders with Felscream Blast/Immolation Aura, but yeah, I don't recall Mag ever being good. He was widely regarded as being trash as he was just too slow to pose any real threat.
@@FreddyChoppins At this point, I'm convinced Rarran lives in an alternate dimension, where the meta was somewhat identical in some aspects and completely different in others from what it is/was to ours.
Great video :) have you considered showing the guest the group of cards released for a specific archetype and have them guess if the archetype was successful?
Hey Rarran, if you're looking for a fun variant on this series, you could try presenting a few similar cards at the same time, then having the guest try to pick which one in the group is playable and which ones are garbage.
"How did Hearthstone allow Divine Spirit/Inner Fire to exist??" I don't know, how did Yugioh allow Firewall Dragon, Imperial Order, Royal Decree , and TeleDAD to exist?
To be fair, there is no other card in the standard meta that has been giving me as much trouble as Far Watch Post. I cannot recall the amount of times it destroyed my tempo and/or made a particular card cost 1 or 2 more that I cannot afford to have increased in mana, whether it be for a combo or a top deck that would have played out on my curve perfectly.
I tried SO hard to make Magtheridon work. He was one of my first legendaries and I tried my hardest to fit him into Warlock and it just never panned out. He's a card that looks like he'd be amazing in theory but is just too slow and cumbersome in practice. He seemed to fit in nicely in Demon Hunter though.
Maestra was just not fair and also badly explained. Prestor was meta for a whole expansion, what is he even talking about? Bandersmosh is one of the worst cards and I didn't see him once. Also he completely forgot about apm priest, one of the most degenerate and most fun to play decks.
Far watch post was nerfed because aggro players got mad. It was to aggro what tickatus is to control. But the devs are biased and immediately had to nerf it.
Nah, Far Watch Post was pretty gross all-around. Barrens was a weird-ass meta, with Spell Mage and Discover 10,000 Cards Priest being the most dominant. Watch Post shut every other class down.The minion Warch Post that made 2/2 Grunts was also a problem. It made for a very passive game.
I don’t know if it was necessarily aggro players getting mad though. I imagine it was more due to the high roll nature of the card in most matchups. Like imagine playing midrange v midrange and somebody drops this thing on 2.
@@m0002856 it literally often denied aggro their early game drops while also needing to trade into it with what they had in hand. Illucia was nerfed for that same reason as control decks would just drop her on turn 2 to deny turn 2 or 3 to aggro.
i think rarran has a lot of personal bias based on how he evaluates cards cause in what manner was magtheridon even remotely decent i have not seen the card played a single time, it is much more bordering on bad but saw experimentation. just because some people fucked around with angry chicken enough for it to see play doesn't mean it's a good card, magtheridon is garbage and too many hoops to jump over for a slow card
he just has the most inconsistent criteria for judging cards and tells guests they are wrong a lot of times when they are right on the money and picks and chooses what metas or time periods to reference i feel like he should try having another hearthstone player come in and attempt to judge the cards maybe have trump host an episode since he would absolutely love to be a part of this kind of content, think it'd be interesting to see
It’s fun to watch even Rarran be wrong about some of these cards. Pure pally yea that can slide it had only a bit of time where it was a good deck but like prestor Druid? Literally how they described it was a really good deck for like the last like 2 xpacs? Like it wasn’t dominating or anything but it was a good and hella frustrating deck
Building your own deck would be way more balanced in Hearthstone than in YuGiOh unless they do some heavy restrictions. My main concern is how exactly would Rarran know what archetypes are actually good? The power level between building something like Blue-Eyes and an actual meta deck is insane.
Every time I see far watch post I laugh and think of that DH glide combo deck that forced your opponent to dump their hand and draw a bunch of over costed cards. Ah, good times
Is anyone keeping track of how many cards Rarran has called "one of the best cards Warrior has ever received"? I feel like he says this in almost every other video. 😀
there is an audio desync later in the video, I have let me editor know and I apologize for it!
Hopefully the video is still good!
My editor removed what I said about Lady Prestor, she was bad but she did have a tier one deck in voyage into the sunken city, after prince renethal was released.

Ikr Prestor was literally played as an archetype in grandmasters and actually won a lot of games.
For real. he said magtheridon was a decent card lol
@@existentiallamp but it didn't play the card that he showed the yugioh player
Will we be getting some more guessing how good Yu-Gi-Oh cards are? Those are some of my favorites, Stevie really knows how to pick out good ones.
now that hes had a chance to play yugioh, i could see him have a chance at some of the more obscure cards. cant wait till these vids come back.
Agreed! Every now and then I come back to the 3 videos, they're really fun.
Maestra was such a mean card to put in for someone who doesn’t know about gnoll
Yeah, Maestra is *nothing* without Wildpaw. There is no conceivable way anyone would ever guess that Maestra is good not seeing the cards that actually pay off from its effect. That's just mean.
@@genzo454 To be fair, Stevie also cucked Rarran with a bunch of archetype cards he doesn't know the context of
Honestly the interaction between Maestra and gnoll isn't even very intuitive. And with how overpowered the gnoll was early on and how much they struggled to balance it, I'm not sure it was intended or considered by the devs. They probably should have rephrased either of the cards to delete that interaction.
Lady Prestor was the win condition in one of the best deck of the last expansion meta. I feel like you are a bit wrong on that one.
That's the 1% when she was playable though
@@monchete9934 Yeah but he should have at least mentioned it & explained how the deck worked, cuz it was really good.
And even more important, Steve just described at perfection the deck and even said that it would be druid and it was... He should have more recognition on this one :cb
It was only a meta deck during the small window when Renethal released early and Castle came out. That’s not that huge of a timeframe.
If anyone, Rarran should know druid has the ability to draw her pretty easiliy with the amount of card draw the class has
Stevie was right on with Maestra (except competitive, because classes aren't blind-picked) during the expansion it was released. Maestra was completely unplayable until the next set when Wildpaw Gnoll came out.
Stevie's face while Rarran explaining Maestra of the Masquerade/Wildpaw Gnoll was so funny
Well, I haven't played HS for a few years, so my face was kinda the same
So, what was the combo again?
@@АлексейПруцев-ф4р thre is card that discount itself cost each time you gain card from other class in your hand. Even when the card is in your deck. This card is 3/5 rush for 6 mana.

Because his explanation was terrible
Rarran glossing over how dominant Prestor druid was for months.
Yeah, due to the amount of targeted draw in druid, they can very consistently draw it.

Stevie's analysis was generally more accurate than Rarran's in this video.
Rarran you gotta do a better job at figuring out if cards are good or not. Stevie has been doing fantastic.
Thought the same
Wait Rarran, wasn't lady Prestor one of the big reasons why last expansions ladder was so miserable? Every other deck was a lady Prestor highroll druid deck, it was played on ladder all the time. Most druids I played against had consistent draw and ramp to get lady Prestor on turn 5 or 6.

Stevie actually was spot on here. First thing he said was alternative wincon and Lady Prestor is exactly that in aggro druid
@@hzpfyjdcrbq it's not alternative at all it is the only l wincon. The whole point of the deck is to play Lady prestor turn6 or before. Playing minions before prestor was bad.

Rarran should teach Stevie how to play the most difficult meta hearthstone deck rn. That’d be hilarious
Oh god Stevie playing Boar Priest would be a shitshow lmaooo
OG Patron Warrior or the whatever those boar or rabbit decks were called.
Or whatever Miracle Rogue deck is currently in meta, there ought to be one.
That would require Rarran to know how to play it himself

Years of deciphering Yugioh card effects pay off

Lmao the chapter auto generate labeling the bandersmosh portion as "anthony padilla" killed me.
You really need to start showing your guests the combo cards, like put Wildpaw Gnoll up on screen.
Really suprised there was no "But coldtooth mine made Prestor consistent and a real deck"
Lady prestor is run a ton in aggro wild, especially aggro druid he was right on that one tbh.
Really really love the content! Stevie is such a cool guest for this format, I love how calm and collected he answers and he doesn't seem to get triggered (at least until the end)
"I've deluded myself over years of self gas lighting."
me too Stevie, me too.
My ears started clapping when the Chrono Trigger background music started at 10:44, thanks
"my favorite class, aggro" and rarran's reaction was hilarious.
Stevie is so fucking great - I love your videos with him. Please do more in future, you two have great chemistry in videos together. Thanks always for the super enjoyable content, Rarran.
Like I’m sorry but most of your reveals were completely wrong…
1) Magtheridon was played a lot in top competitive decks ( tournament speaking ) and was played in a lot of master tour decks
2) LightShower Elemental is by far one of the best card in the deck, which allows the quest pries to destroys aggro, and could be paired with the Amulet or the Xyrella legendary and the Xyrella Hero card. It is clearly a 7/10 or a 8/10 card
3) Lady Prestor just broke the game when Kazakusan was introduced and it was by far the best deck in the game
4) Bandersmosh was an awful card, only played in meme decks but never in a competitive deck and reno Shaman never was a real thing ( apart from wild and even there bandersmosh was never played )
5) Cobalt Spellkin was never played in any competitive standard deck, but it is a great arena card nothing more
6) High Priest Amet was a great card, but never Inner fire priest was tier S so it never was a « 10/10 banger, meta defining card » as you said
What? Magtheridon was trash, what is people talking about?
~Although I agree with 6 but I have a feeling Rarran was trolling...
Amet was trash. All you needed to do is deal damage to him without killing him and unless your opponent has heals it literally makes their cards health total even worse than their base stats typically
Glad far watch post was on there. It's legit my favourite card
Did him dirty on the rogue card. It is Gnoll that is good, not the legendary really
These Jon Tron levels "WHAT!" from Stevie is great, always.
Damn, that desync on 13:40+ is nuts
Divine Spirit + Inner Fire lives on in wild.
In any given meta, it is usually a safe bet that Big Priest makes up the majority of Priests, while Inner Fire Priest is the actually good one.
For the past month, most of my priest opponents have been big priest (wild player). I think I’ve seen 1 quest priest and maybe 3 thief priests. I cry every time...........
„this card was not insane-o banana mode“
„WHAT“
lmao
I really love just people coming home behind Steve and Rarran's cat just forcefully cameo-ing
I had High Exarch Yrel for the longest time and decided to included it in my Paladin deck after The Countess came out and it's just a worse, more expensive version of Elitist snob, which is an epic instead of legendary
I am so sad with the priest slander. The class gets hated on for existing. Even when other classes does more toxic things, priest will still get hated on.
I just need to say I’m actually old enough to get the Smosh reference. Good times.
Glad this is back. Still looking forwards to the eventual 2nd video of trying to figure out if Magic cards are good or not.
Stevie's mind collapsing as you explain how thief rogue works was the highlight of this video, lmao.
It's so interesting, my experience with these cards is SO different just because I mostly played casually with them. Things felt broken to me that were bad, and vice versa.

@@FreddyChoppins At this point, I'm convinced Rarran lives in an alternate dimension, where the meta was somewhat identical in some aspects and completely different in others from what it is/was to ours.
Great video :) have you considered showing the guest the group of cards released for a specific archetype and have them guess if the archetype was successful?
I love the cut around 4:30 where Rarran was probably laughing his ass off
Is the audio out of sync? During most of Bandersmosh at least.
Hey Rarran, if you're looking for a fun variant on this series, you could try presenting a few similar cards at the same time, then having the guest try to pick which one in the group is playable and which ones are garbage.
I Love stevie, got to know him becouse of this series and im now watching Yu-Gi-Oh without having ever played
Rarran is so powerful he lags the video half way though
The audio desync around 13mins is kind of jarring but very nice video nonetheless
Magtharadon wasn’t a bad card? Okay…
FIVE STARS
watch post is defo insane banana mode still
Post in Wild was definitely insano banana mode. Recruit into that was devastating.
My favorite cross game collab with my favorite HS content creator and my favorite Yugioh content creator
Literally everyone thought Sword eater was going to be in every warrior deck when it was revealed.
rarran saying "this card was *not* insane-o banana mode" in complete deadpan seriousness is honestly what i live for.
"How did Hearthstone allow Divine Spirit/Inner Fire to exist??" I don't know, how did Yugioh allow Firewall Dragon, Imperial Order, Royal Decree , and TeleDAD to exist?
You too are a great duo, you should do other stuff too! Like either you teaching him how to play a certain heartstone deck or him teaching you!
Hmmm haven't played Hearthstone since Frozen Throne, but my own idea for Magtheridon was "Clog up enemy board and or Revival Pools"
What are you talking about Magtheridon was awful and saw no play at all. Still remember Trump giving it 5 stars
8:11 the way you tried to hush the F word is cute
To be fair, there is no other card in the standard meta that has been giving me as much trouble as Far Watch Post. I cannot recall the amount of times it destroyed my tempo and/or made a particular card cost 1 or 2 more that I cannot afford to have increased in mana, whether it be for a combo or a top deck that would have played out on my curve perfectly.
Rarran an stevie have the greatest chemistry i love you guys' collabs it is really entertaining ^^
Is Do You Know Hearthstone ever coming back again?
Currently working on season 2, should be coming back in the next couple of weeks
Lady prestor was broken on druide aggro for a long time ...
So interested in if Rarran ever looks at the Pokemon TCG. That enviroment is so alien compared to the card games already reacted to.
I tried SO hard to make Magtheridon work. He was one of my first legendaries and I tried my hardest to fit him into Warlock and it just never panned out. He's a card that looks like he'd be amazing in theory but is just too slow and cumbersome in practice. He seemed to fit in nicely in Demon Hunter though.
Maestra was just not fair and also badly explained. Prestor was meta for a whole expansion, what is he even talking about? Bandersmosh is one of the worst cards and I didn't see him once. Also he completely forgot about apm priest, one of the most degenerate and most fun to play decks.
Hello Rarran. Maybe try do video with @TheaBeasty? She is really positive. You can try rate Gwent cards od she can rate Hearthstone cards ^^
Far watch post was nerfed because aggro players got mad. It was to aggro what tickatus is to control. But the devs are biased and immediately had to nerf it.
Man, I almost forgot it used to have 4 health. Those were dark times.
Nah, Far Watch Post was pretty gross all-around. Barrens was a weird-ass meta, with Spell Mage and Discover 10,000 Cards Priest being the most dominant. Watch Post shut every other class down.The minion Warch Post that made 2/2 Grunts was also a problem. It made for a very passive game.
I don’t know if it was necessarily aggro players getting mad though.
I imagine it was more due to the high roll nature of the card in most matchups.
Like imagine playing midrange v midrange and somebody drops this thing on 2.
@@m0002856 it literally often denied aggro their early game drops while also needing to trade into it with what they had in hand. Illucia was nerfed for that same reason as control decks would just drop her on turn 2 to deny turn 2 or 3 to aggro.
Audio is desynchronized with the video when you introduce Bandersmosh. Great video though! Stevie is a wonderful guest
My wild mage deck that's whole goals was to get 4 far watch posts on the board at the same time agrees, it might be the best card of all time.
still hoping for some more magic crossover content, but this is fun too~!
i was sure he'd get amet. i bet my mom would even be like yeah id run it
Rarran and I remember Amet's time in HS very differently...
6:00. Maybe consider having them rate a package instead of just a card, like the rest of the Watch Post cards, or the Soul Fragment packages etc.
i think rarran has a lot of personal bias based on how he evaluates cards cause in what manner was magtheridon even remotely decent i have not seen the card played a single time, it is much more bordering on bad but saw experimentation. just because some people fucked around with angry chicken enough for it to see play doesn't mean it's a good card, magtheridon is garbage and too many hoops to jump over for a slow card
he just has the most inconsistent criteria for judging cards and tells guests they are wrong a lot of times when they are right on the money and picks and chooses what metas or time periods to reference i feel like he should try having another hearthstone player come in and attempt to judge the cards maybe have trump host an episode since he would absolutely love to be a part of this kind of content, think it'd be interesting to see
Maestra wasn’t played until gnoll.
To be fair, the countess is now seeing play in legend paladin decks
9:49. I think Rarran might as well show the other cards that syncs with the card instead of just explaining like that XD
Duude, his skin looks so good
Rarran should do a watch post deck
From 12:12 is the best part of video because of cat
18:58 hello there
If I remember correctly, one of the reasons Amet was so crazy is that you could resurrect it as well.
Far watch post still sees a lot of play idk I feel like you're underselling it
It’s fun to watch even Rarran be wrong about some of these cards. Pure pally yea that can slide it had only a bit of time where it was a good deck but like prestor Druid? Literally how they described it was a really good deck for like the last like 2 xpacs? Like it wasn’t dominating or anything but it was a good and hella frustrating deck
Could be an interesting idea to 1v1 in YuGiOh and Hearthstone, both of you make your own deck and then see who does better overall
Building your own deck would be way more balanced in Hearthstone than in YuGiOh unless they do some heavy restrictions.
My main concern is how exactly would Rarran know what archetypes are actually good? The power level between building something like Blue-Eyes and an actual meta deck is insane.
@@m0002856 True but isn't that part of the fun lol, he would have to try and figure it out
Every time I see far watch post I laugh and think of that DH glide combo deck that forced your opponent to dump their hand and draw a bunch of over costed cards.
Ah, good times
Rarran! Normally you upload earlier in the day, I thought you were taking sunday off!
Is anyone keeping track of how many cards Rarran has called "one of the best cards Warrior has ever received"? I feel like he says this in almost every other video. 😀
Skipper and swordeater, and i dont know if there where any others
There was the reborn mummy dude too (or reborn something, it's been a while)
I feel the cards should be judged both by standard and wild comparison to get the cards properly
